I've been through a lot in my relatively short life and I can proudly say I can handle my baggage my self. All in all I'm a simple woman, who is happy with simple things. I prefer DVD movie night to going to the movies, burgers to steak, and daisies to roses. I'm family oriented and very selfish with my time.
My preferences in all categories (music, food, movies, literature, ect.) are eclectic at best, and are not central to who I am as a person. In other words, a laundry list of my likes and dislikes will not help you get to know me. There are qualities innate to my personality that may clue more aware people in to what I am like, but again, aspects of how I am do not make who I am.
I can say that I’m argumentative and willful. Or maybe that as bull-headed as I am, I‘m still cute as hell. I could write in here that I love my family and adore my son, that I will crush anyone who hurts them. I could tell you that I always do what needs to be done, even if it involves actions which are illegal or iniquitous. I could say any number of things that would allude to my character and preferences, but in the end all you could gather from all that is if our tastes are similar.
I believe if two people are honest - with themselves and each other - and attentive enough, that they can know one another in just a few short hours. Within the span of a date, two people can truly come to know each other and decide if they are attracted. Really, attraction and compatibility is just a series of chemical reactions to pheromones and body language.
