[quote=Anonymous]I also think you sound like a great guy. I'm not crazy about tattoos but I don't think this has to be a dealbreaker and doesn't explain the reasons a 6+ month relationship would end for you.

Do you put your hobbies first over your relationships? For example, canceling plans because you need to spend time lifting/biking?

My biggest turn-off is men that don't follow through or do what they say.

Also, I think most women are just looking for a normal life with someone, the possibility of a family and a stable home life. A woman might wonder if your hobbies will always come first.

I know many successful short men who are married or in long-term relationships.

I've been married 20+ years to an attorney. We met at work. I don't relate to all the negative comments about attorneys on here.

I spend at least a couple of hours in the gym everyday. It is my hobby, but my family still comes first and sometimes I can't do the best optimal thing for myself. I completely gave up another of my hobbies, and that's ok, that time is now spent with my kids. There are plenty of women that work out as a hobby, and I think you should be able to meet one at a gym. Take a class - like a cross-fit or barbell class at a gym and show up regularly.

It might be worth asking yourself if these women are ending things after 6 months because they sense you can't commit enough time to them to have the life they want. My husband was 41 when we married. Before meeting him, I was ending relationships quickly as soon as I realized they weren't interested in marriage, kids or a so-called boring suburban life. The women in your dating age-range don't have time to waste. The ones that are ending after months tell me that they sense the relationship isn't going anywhere.[/quote]
