Does this sound like I'm a straight male?

I may say:

"Once I'm self employed

I can do what I want to,

Play backyard cricket

Invite people and have discussions in cricket, economics, politics

Host evening parties

I'm single, however what if they think where is time for a relationship with a women?

Not entirely. Nothing to do with the activities but sexuality is obviously on your mind.

I don't want to sound like I'm gay when I'm a straight male.

However will the op statement sound like I could be gay ? They know I'm single

No?

Self employment, Cricket, Conversation, Parties, none of which are gay, like are you worried because you didn't put football, chainsaws and beer cans with boobs on them?

Thank you.

Like I said, I'm not gay, I meet and converse with women.

It doesn't make you sound "gay", but it doesn't make you sound particularly interesting / endearing either.

I'm assuming this is for an online dating profile (OSLT), so here are a few of my suggestions:-

Why don't you try expanding on the things you've listed?

You're self employed, but what do you do? Are you successful?

You can do what you want... but what do you ACTUALLY do?

Who do you play cricket against? Are you actually any good? Have you thought about competing in a league?

Are you open to discussing other things that may interest women at all?

What sort of evening parties?... these could be anything from a formal (conservative) dinner party... right the way down to a full-on dungeon sex-orgy.


Mention the sort of things that interest you and / or you'd like to do. What kind of woman are you hoping to attract? If this is for a dating profile, then at least some of these things should be activities that women will have some interest in, or you can do with a partner. Hint:- personally, I don't know many women who are really interested in cricket.

Nothing get a woman wet quite like inviting her to have a discussion about cricket.
