Are you divorced with children? If "yes" - then please answer and it will work. If not divorced or you don't have kids - I have different criteria. I can still help you.

You know, you just come off as weird and creepy with your posts. Seriously, just weird. OP take note - this is the kind of guy you are likely to meet at one of these events. Steer clear.

Agree this is a very weird and creepy guy.

He was cranking them out pretty quickly and then the woman posted that she lied to test him and now nothing. I was enjoying them, but once one person decides to lie, it ruins it for everyone else. bummer man.

I’m going to assume pretty much the only thing that hasn’t worked out for you is your first marriage. I’m going to assume you have custody of the child. You seem like you’ve done a good job knowing what you want and getting it. You haven’t strayed too far from your original home and it’s not for lack of a desire to do so. You have to take care of things where you are now and not yet free to move about the world as you would like to. This plays heavily into who your ideal mate is.
The food, car and books tell me a lot about you. Add in the Top Gear UK reference (see other post above – you have something in common) and the Siddartha book and we have a rather well rounded guy. While you are a straightforward guy, you are not lacking in depth. People are often a little surprised at the topics you can converse on either because you don’t look like you’d know that, or you’ve never hinted at an interest in such subjects. This is a good thing and keeps people happily on their toes around you.
Your ideal woman is not a fellow world travel and culture lover – YET. It would be easy to say that your perfect match is already on board with trips to Cambodia or to New Zealand to see things not on the well worn tourist’s map. You actually would benefit emotionally from meeting someone you can introduce to the world and inspire them to be as passionate about visiting world wonders as you are. Just below the surface you’re an aspiring teacher who finds joy in helping others see what you see. Your ideal woman doesn’t say “no” a lot and is willing to try new things. The only catch is that she reluctant to try new things by herself and needs a guide – YOU. You’ll appreciate her willingness to learn and experience and she’ll appreciate your willingness to teach and provide truly gratifying memories.
Your best match is a divorced women with kids who are little older – most likely has just one child. She has taken a break from the dating scene until now (she’s roughly your age) so that she could make sure child wasn’t adversely affected by divorce. She is reasonable and has no pie in the sky misconceptions of what exactly dating in her 40s is like. She is not intense. You will not deal with someone who requires a tremendous amount of meaningless attention. You like someone who can entertain themselves, but appreciates your attempts to help. Don’t expect high heels and cocktail dresses. Expect a woman who is in shape and wear more conservative, but contemporary styles. She is function over form, but wears it well.
You will meet her at a function that centers around your DD’s activities. Where else are you going to meet someone who has a kid? You’ll have to do the talking, but she won’t be hard to convince – you’re good a conversation and she’s quietly dying to have a good one. Keep your head up and eyes open the next time you’re at a museum or a recital – she’s there.
