I'm starting to notice a pattern in my life, and it's not one I like. It seems like I can never meet anyone who lives close, but I meet ladies from all over the place that say they would date me if we were closer. I know that I don't have a very good reputation around here, but I'm nowhere near as bad as I'm made out to be. Yes, I will fight for what I believe in and stand up for those closest to me as a rule, but I'm mostly a big old teddy bear. I just don't get how someone I talk to a few times can see me for who I am and those I see on a regular basis can't. I guess it's hard breaking away from an image once you've achieved it. The bad thing is that I never tried for the image. I just seemed to get it once it was known that I had tattoos as a teenager and that I'd been to juvie.

I wish I could give you some advice.. but really I am in NO place to do that.. cause I'm struggling right now too! I know what it feels like to be beat up, and judged. It's not fun 
It hurts I know people say.. be positive, be strong, dont' care what others think.. but you get wore down, you get beat up and it builds up.. and when something is said over and over again.. you start to believe it!

Well I've got the same problem. I "meet" people but not really ones I'd like to date, it's a good city for work though.
