It depends on who's asking, and the situation. But I have a hard time doing that also. I'm never sure if they want a physical description or details about what I'm interested in or what.

I am young, trim, muscular, full head of hair, very handsome, model type, rich, energetic, not.

if this is someone new you've just met on line, i'd say: what you see is what you'll ever get and ignore them afterwards - if how you look is more important for them then who you are, I won't waste time there.

This time was on plentyoffish.com. I posted for Friends.

I don't think that I could describe me for my own Mother...if I ever heard from her...

What an odd world to live in at this stage of my life.

Zoot-I will take a page from YOUR book, but I don't think I could get away with it...I will delete my picture and be Euro-Pretty, petite...the girl that stbx wrote all the songs for, and guys want.

describing yourself can be more than your attributes to your physical person. think of interests, hobbies, likes, career, personality, etc. depending on what you want to give out, or post about is only for you. if ppl are asking moer pesonal things, run, very fast, away. you're here to handle putting pieces of your life back together, not to hook up. which is at least that's what probably the majority of us are here for.

If you've posted a pic, tell them height, if the pic is old, tell them how old, weight (none of their business)...

So I'd go with personality... that is what they can't see from the pic.

Exactly what JTGPP wrote, but if you're uncomfy doing that just tell them to get to know you over time, at a distance and find out for them selves, IF you want them too, if not tell them nothing.

seems to be most people who go to dating sites are looking at the Physical only; they may SAY they're not, but apparently that's all they care about. or so it seems to me on okcupid.com that I gave up on.

When I'm ready, they'll find me.

I'm with Zoot,
lmao. I do however think it is ok to describe you as, loving, funny, definetly brave (with your move and all). Just think of those qualities as well as hobbies.
If they dont like it, their loss.

I have a great heart and I am looking for someone to share it with... I am affectionate, romantic, passionate, honest, faithful, sensitive, loving, and creative. I love to laugh, tell jokes and have fun. I love family, friends, cooking, baking, making jewelry, listening to music, playing with my dog. I want someone who knows how to a appreciate a good woman. I have come from an abussive relationship so, I don't want anyone with a temper at all. I am looking for someone who is true to their feelings and is not afraid to cry. I want someone who will share their deepest feelings and who will let me share mine.

I just tell folks to check out Adam Sandler in "Big Daddy". Just add gainfully employed to the mix...
