Hi everyone - I'm getting tempted to jump back into the OLD pool, however there's one thing that's putting me off: I'm a guy and when I browse who's available in my area, an overwhelming majority seen to be looking for an "outdoorsy guy" (this is women aged 37 to 49 by the way).
Now, I do enjoy a walk in the woods and the odd outdoor activity, but we're talking more the wild camping, out-in-all-weathers, always-active type here.
For what it's worth, I do like to keep in shape (I go to the gym a couple of times a week) and I've got my interests and hobbies - its just they're things like writing, exploring culture and the arts (for what its worth, I even joined a specialist dating site called Love Arts, which bizarrely turned out be full of when of this demographic who didn't seem to be all that fussed with the arts and, again, were more interested in outdoorsy activities - though I suspect this is because the site pulls from a pool made up of many different niche interest websites).
Is it just the area I live in (South-west England)? The age group (so many of my friends are running marathons or become hardcore cyclists). Are "outdoorsy" men just generally more desired (I guess if you aspire to be that way, you might look for someone like that)? Or is just that active, outdoorsy people of that age-range are more likely to do online dating?
Please give me some assurance there's single women looking for a "a bit of outdoors is nice, but its not my main thing" kind of guy are out there!
