Favorite dating shows

I have to be honest .. first of all I find men of all races attractive (chocolate brown skin of a man of African descent to bisque of a red headed Irish Man) but usually am attracted to Asian, White, European, Italian, South Asian, Middle Eastern and foreign men in general.  But as a woman living in Los Angeles, CA it is DANGED competitive as HELL!!!  It's the land of the 'Barbie' doll .. super skinny, super young, skinny and surgery enhanced big boobs and/or asses.

So I never got much interest from men after gaining a lot of weight after moving to LA and not eating healthy/working out/walking.  But I've been working on myself for the past two years.  I've lost over 50 pds with changing my diet, taking long daily walks and regularly working out at the gym.  In addition I've changed up my super conservative style of dress and taken the advice of my dating gurus.  Patti Stanger of Millionaire Matchmaker, Matt and Tamsen Fadal Titus (Matched in Manhattan) NYC Love Consultants, Steve & Joanne Ward of Tough Love, Patti Novak of Confessions of a Matchmaker, What Not To Do dating show and chatting with friends who are married/dating.

So accepted that I need to wear makeup, color on my lips (to show off my great smile), got Lasik (so everyone can see my glorious big brown eyes), wearing cute clothes that show off my assets (cleavage, small waist) and styling my hair.  It's working!  I notice men have started to approach and flirt with me.   AND they are guys I'm interested in speaking with and dating! 

I've learned to like myself as I am and not putting my life on 'hold' till I get more 'perfect).  I know that right now I look really good.  I'm getting closer to getting to my ideal dating weight and am pretty cute too!
