Not gonna lie. Dealing with “dating”, at this stage of life is proving to be incredibly…..awkward. Writing out a decent profile/bio is a real challenge. What to say, what not to say.
If you look up INTJ-Architect Personalty, you will understand how I deal with life.
I stay in shape by training in the martial art Krav Maga, 6 hours a week. I recently passed a Level 2 Practitioner Test.
I have 7 children, scattered across the country, we have solid, productive relationships. They learned at an early age that sometimes it was necessary for them to sit down, and shut up. I believe the current count is 9 Grandchildren, and 3 Great Grand kids. Last year, I took a month off from my shop, went back to Missouri to keep an eye on 2 of them. My Daughter was an Army MP Drill Sergeant at the time and had to take a mandatory class. No on-post child care at Ft. Leonard Wood.
I am spiritually strong, and try to hear the Still Small Voice. I am physically strong, and tough. Three Ortho-Docs tell me I have a high tolerance to pain.
I wrote an obituary for a much loved family dog, it still chokes me up to think of it.
Courage is the ability to take appropriate/necessary action, in spite of your fears. I have courage.
I would like to tell you about how I don’t live a fearful life, but internet “dating” is burying that myth. Anxiety abounds, over-ruling my normal self-confidence.
I want to help others succeed.
I am a warrior, I have raised warriors.
I am brutally honest. I am fiercely loyal.
I completed a 20 hour Tactical Combat Casualty Care course. I am now capable of delaying death until EMT’s arrive. I’m extremely proud of that.
