Bad Boys!

Gin, pastries and (occasional) ciggies.
These things are gone, they're out of my life - for the time being anyway.

Having been on my own for far too long, I've decided it's time for action. Phase one includes signing up to an online dating site.

My profile says I'm a non smoking, social drinker, with a fit and toned body.

Well, there wasn't a tick box for a fit and toned wannabe, but currently a muffin-top with bingo wings.
Non Smoker? Yes, and sometimes I bum-fags-but-I-refuse-to-buy-them-as-then-I-would-be-classed-as-a-smoker, and if I don't actually buy them, well I don't, not unless I've had a really bad week, and then.... well, that doesn't really count does it?
Social drinker? That's me. I'm incredibly sociable when I've been drinking!

There is a slightly out of date pic of me grinning hopefully at you from your screen if you click to say you are searching for a woman of indeterminate age, who Wd lk 2 mt yngr man with GSOH so she cn LOL.

There are huge issues to consider when writing a profile, so here's some advice:

1. Who are you writing for? The man you want to attract of course! You are the temptress, the Siren. Your profile is the lure, a baited hook, a delicious morsel with the promise of what else could be his.
2. What should you include? Everything the man of your dreams wants to hear.
3. What should you omit? Your enhancements, your PMT and your previous relationships, whether failed or fantastic.

It's a minefield out there, but I have a sniffer dog, you know the sort, she goes straight for the flies and passes an opinion within a nanosecond.

Anyway, must dash, the first date beckons in less than 12 hours, by which time I need to have pedicured, manicured, exfoliated, epilated, tweezed, highlighted, lowlighted, glossed and flossed. And lost 10 lbs.
Wish me luck!
Amanda.

P.S. I have told a friend to be on standby, with a mystery illness should I wish to make a hasty exit, and I have left details of the location and time.
