Thanks for the replies. I'm SO GLAD nobody has jumped on me for saying I'm attractive. I hoped it would come accross the way I meant it.

It's nice to be able to talk about things because it helps me think things through, and to hear other opinions helps me figure things out.

I know I have some things inside to work on, but I'm a good person. I am a bit too obsessed with the way I look and I think it's making me seem unapproachable.

I think guys would probably assume I'm high maintenence, and I have been hit on by men who have money but no personality, and that's NOT at all the kind of guy I'm into.
I'm thinking maybe an interesting guy who plays a guitar in a coffee shop or something.
Or a general contractor who likes to ride a harley... or even a hospital nurse who has tattoos under his scrubs.

Know what I mean?
