Artsy stuff in general

What kind of artsy stuff?  Drawing, painting?  I like those.  I used to like to write and play guitar, but school made writing bother me sometimes and my double jointed fingers hinder my guitar playing.

Are you married? No, probably never will be

Wait a few years and don't give up.  It will get better for heavier guys as they get older.  Just show success or the fact you will be, a personality, and know how to treat a woman and you will be fine.  I also dare say you should assess your standards and plan accordingly if you know what I mean.  Of my past 5 dates only one has in normal weight range and she had some personality issues such as she didn't get out much and was scared to death of the city.  She was also very timid when I dance with her at McFadden's.

[Dr. Cynic]

It's not that I have no confidance. I was in a relationship back in February. and it ended because of what I do for a living.

But that's nothing. My first girlfriend broke up with me when she found out I was a Democrat.
