Below is Karissa's handwritten answer to the, "Tell us a little bit about you", survey question.
I’m looking for a childfree man who wants a monogamous long-term relationship, which has turned out to be a surprisingly hard combo to find. _______________________________________________________________ If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a project manager approaches finding her person like a systems problem, the answer is: spreadsheets, observations, pattern recognition, and entirely too many notes. _______________________________________________________________ Over the last year, I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of time studying modern dating by living it. Somewhere between 50+ dating platforms, 10,000+ profiles, hundreds of conversations, dozens of video calls, and 25+ first dates, I started noticing patterns. _______________________________________________________________ The biggest one? Most people are trying to figure out the same three things: *Are they interested? *Are we compatible? *Will they actually engage in the process? _______________________________________________________________ As for me, I’m a 42-year-old entrepreneur living in the mountains near Black Hawk. I’m childfree by choice and looking for a monogamous long-term relationship with a childfree man who wants to build a life together. _______________________________________________________________ I can come across very direct and organized at first, and to be fair, I am. I think in systems, I care about compatibility, and I’m not interested in wasting either of our time. But that’s not the whole picture. _______________________________________________________________ I’m also more spontaneous than I probably look. When I’m enjoying someone, I’m very capable of letting the day unfold into a walk through the aspens or a “one more thing” date that somehow lasts for hours. And in general, my life tends to come with the occasional side quest too - whether that’s turning a quick errand into a whole afternoon, ending up in a parade, or wandering into an unexpected adventure. _______________________________________________________________ When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me watching hummingbirds, throwing darts, wandering through the woods, attending geeky events, organizing something, or disappearing down a rabbit hole of research nobody asked for. I value curiosity, follow-through, clear communication, personal growth, affection, and people who say what they mean. _______________________________________________________________ My ideal relationship isn’t built on constant excitement. It’s built on partnership, shared adventures, mutual respect, physical affection, and the ability to navigate life as a team. _______________________________________________________________ If what I’ve written resonates with you, send an email to karissa.dating at gmail dot com with what stood out. Let’s see if our paths were meant to cross and explore what we could build together… _______________________________________________________________ I love starting with a quick video or phone call within the first day after we match. It lets us feel the ease and chemistry that texting cannot show.
Perhaps the most important question to CFdating's profile survey, below is Karissa's answer to why they choose to be childfree.
I can't stand most kids! The screaming and constant dependence... Went on a 5 hour ride around San Francisco in a Tesla with my sister and the lady that she nannied their son since a baby for 2 years. He's now 6. She also had young baby which was scared of me in the back seat and cried basically the whole time. Then the 6 year old was banging, tapping and talking non-stop. I was in sound overload! Gave me a headache that added to the motion sickness the EV gave me.
Finally, would Karissa have or want kids down the road? Below is how they answered this critical question.
No never, and don't want a partner that has them - even grown... That's why I'm on a site like this ... Seems like an odd question.
