Hi all! Life is fine but I've decided to only live in Key West part time. Honestly, I can't take the tourists, the noise, the crowds or the psychos full time. I'm starting to hate the island. So, to preserve my love for this place like I had before I lived here full time I'm getting out ASAP. I'll come down from up north-ish (not NJ) when I feel like it. Always be kinder than you feel.

Just popping in to say hello! I hope you're all well!! Always be kinder than you feel.

I've been unsuccessfully trying to upload a pic of the ocean view I have when I open my eyes and wake up at my guy's house. Cruise ships, shrimp boats, fishing charters and the like. Life is so fucking good it's like a dream. Thank God for second chances and reconnecting with someone who is amazing in so many important ways. Always be kinder than you feel.

Just say no. Always be kinder than you feel.

Lucky has been getting lucky??? In November, the first guy I dated here in July and I innocently, casually reconnected. Perfect gentleman, totally respectable, very smart, very handsome, lots of fun and a conservative. Treats me like a princess. Always be kinder than you feel.

I don't have a list, actually. I have always been flexible in my approach to finding someone because so many things go into making each person unique that the same trait in one person could be a strength and in another a real turn-off... Cockiness can be charming or it can be offputting... Romanticism can be wonderful or it can be stiffling... So it's not like the guy didn't "tick enough boxes" - it simply felt very wrong. When your gut tells you that, you'd be foolish not to listen... I'm not looking for some kind of prince charming or an unrealistic fantasy... Of course getting to know someone takes time but in some cases, it's immediately obvious that no further dating is required... And that shouldn't be taken as some kind of insult. I met with a guy a couple if weeks ago. On the face of it, I thought we would get on swimmingly. Plus I found him VERY handsome and couldn't wait to meet him. I was all giddy and excited and thought the evening went well but he never called me back. I'm not offended by this and upon further reflection my enthusiasm was not actually shared. It happens. It's nobody's *fault*. I am who I am and not what he was looking for. It is disppointing but I'm not going to curl up into a ball and feel bad about myself!! I just accept it and move on. That would drive me crazy. You're nice like me. I bet you let someone know there will be no further dates. Some people think one date doesn't "require" an explanation but I like to let someone know I'm not interested. Always be kinder than you feel.

When/if you decide to lower ALL of your standards, let me know. (by the way, I'm 5'10" so I've got that going for me. ) I just remembered you've actually seen this list. Always be kinder than you feel.

Thanks for sharing! I know there's a few active members of DZ.com who have dived this beautiful plane.

Sucks, doesn't it? I made a list of must haves and have been told it's ridiculous to paint someone into a box. I disagree. No one knows you better than you. Some things on the "list" can seem rather silly to someone else but if it matter to YOU that's all that matters. For example, I like taller guys. Taller to me is 5'10"+. I like to wear heels (I'm about 5'5" now, I'm shrinking). I hate to tower over my date. It also goes to a feeling protected thing by being with a bigger guy. Silly to some, but it is one thing I found didn't matter TOO much as I'm seeing someone who is 5'9" and makes me feel amazingly safe.

Good luck with that! Always be kinder than you feel.

Then again if you leave the foreskin alone you won't have to be worried about the moyl/mohel giving the kid herpes. Blech. Always be kinder than you feel.

Snake in a turtleneck. I haven't heard that in YEARS!! Always be kinder than you feel.

Winds Always be kinder than you feel.

Nerves Always be kinder than you feel.

Face Always be kinder than you feel.

Drop Always be kinder than you feel.

Probably sitting on a pier somewhere drinking a glass of red wine while reflecting on the last year and saying prayers for some happiness in 2015. I'm trying to avoid the drunken Duval Street crush of people. If you've seen one drag queen in a big red high heel, conch shell, pirate wench or key lime drop at midnight you've seen them all. Always be kinder than you feel.

B========D Always be kinder than you feel.

Well, you don't have any in your profile. By all means, show us more of yourself! Nah, I'm good. Thanks.

You moved to Key West??? Umm... thought you knew that? I thought it was just a place you liked to visit a lot. I always planned to move there permanently but life's twists and turns made it happen faster than originally expected.

Yeah she will, From her posts over the last few years she's set the bar to high. Maybe she should think of moving to Europe. Or the southern states. I live in the southernmost point in the US. Shallowest dating pool in the world down here. Drunks, druggies, sexual assaulters, players, liars, misogynists, grown men looking for sugar mommas... you name it, it's disgusting and they're here and preying on every single woman in sight. I did have a great date to a Christmas party last week. Last month I pleasantly, unexpectedly reconnected with the first guy I went on a couple of dates with when I first moved here. Treats me with a ton of respect and like a princess, is always a total gentleman and is extremely smart and very kind. He was a great sport at this party and was very engaging and sweet to some people important to me and my future.
