Hi,

I was registered on this site 3/4 years ago but I didn't have the motivation or the intent to take it seriously but now my life situation has changed a bit:

1) On and off, I've lived with my parents but now I have a place of my own. Being in that situation has been a source of embarrassment to myself because I didn't want women to know because it would say I'm not independent and self-reliant.

2) I am financially secure

I am an introvert which I don't at all consider to be a drawback (society only thinks extroverts should be successful). In fact, I consider myself to be an "empowered introvert" so night game isn't my thing and pubs/clubs isn't a great environment.

I want to emphasise that I don't intend to become an arrogant prick who can pick up a women with the click of a finger because that isn't why I am here or what I am about (no offence intended). I suffer from mild social anxiety so getting a good level of confidence with talking to strangers is important.

Being single all my life (no sex or relationship, ever) hasn't necessarily been a bad thing but the lack of relevant life experience has hindered me but I get the neediness of a women to fill a void is a turnoff so this post is something I identify with in a big way:

I don't own a TV, I don't own a car and I don't own a smart phone or android because that is what society expects me to have in order to be successful. I intend to live the way I want to, not what society expects.

Because of the change in my life I seriously intend to 2015 to be "me" time in a positive and fulfilling way.

I will be 40 this year and I am treating myself a trip to Thailand and Burma
I want to pamper myself, get a spa SPAM and get advice on my skin problem
Have a regular back and neck massage.
Lose lots of weight (I've lost about 1.5kg in the last eight weeks), get a better toned body, do lots of cardio and buy new clothes.
I need to calm down so I also want to take up meditation on a regular basis as well.

Generally, I want to feel good about myself. Does that sound like a good start?
