My Interests

Traveling, eating, and watching movies. That's it.And apparently dancing with the oldest man in every club I go to.

I'd like to meet:

Guys with big noses, flared nostrils, perfect hands, hairy chests, 80s hairstyles, or Stadium Pals. In other words, this guy:Also, people to DO THINGS WITH since not a single one of my friends or family members ever want to do anything with me. I go to yoga, to restaurants, to movies, to travel, to shop, to everything ALONE, and I'm sick of knowing a bunch of boring lazy jerks who never care what I want to do or doing something just to see me happy for once. How would I ever go on without you all?
