I'm willing to:
-Be committed and devoted.
-Be funny & otherwise entertaining.
-Provide stimulating conversation & be a great listener.
-Be kind, respectful, and fair during discussions and the occasional argument.
-Maintain my appearance, weight & hygiene.
-Clean up my messes, manage my finances, and cook for myself
-Be supportive during hard times.
-Be creative and flexible in bed.
-Give up some of my TV/Game/WWW/Guy's night out time.
I'm not willing to:
-Play any games (act unavailable, etc..) during courtship or in the relationship.
-Put effort into providing her with a "challenge"
-Have children with her. I don't have enough money or health (fibromyalgia).
-Regularly surprize her with gifts, creative/expensive nights out/vacations. Provide her with adventure.
-Fight. The occasional argument is understandable. Contrary to popular belief, I believe fighting is very bad for most relationships.
-Take way more care of her than she takes care of me, overall.

My question is: What are my prospects?

all the things you are willing to do are good, really. some of the things you are not willing to do are not good. everyone needs a little "adventure" as you put it. no girl wants to be bored. just be up front and straight with her (prospective girlfriend). i think your odds are decent.

the first half was nice, but I think to some extent you're being a little unreasonable for the "not willing to" items. taking care of each other should at the least be equal. however, you should take care of her more if she is sick or something, just as she should for you. also, fights are unavoidable. arguments will happen, but a fight will occur every so often. no it isn't healthy for the relationship, but you cannot expect to never fight. it's stupid and unrealistic. basically everything in the relationship should be an equal amount of give and take. sure, sometimes one may have to give or take more than the other, but it will be make up for later. I've learned that sometimes you just have to loosen up. some things you just can't worry about in a relationship until you get to that point. if you worry about too much before you even start dating then you will be not likely to find someone good for you. believe me I'm coming from a place of experience, not criticism. I wish you the best of luck finding that special someone if you haven't found them yet. I definitely know it's not easy....

You have A very good chance. Where are those kind of guys anyway. I have not meet one yet and I am in my 40's. I am attractive, independent, I just seem to find ones who play games all the time, whats the point. It will really depent on the woman. So Good Luck.

Everything sounded good up until the "I will not provide her with adventure." It's the little things that are the spice of life (how cliche, I know). But, seriously, if someone told me they would never excite me or keep me on my toes, then I'd leave in a heartbeat.

extreme heels have not have been given anyplace on a sailboat... heavily, in case you mar my teak decks, you're going overboard !! additionally, they have not have been given any purpose on a ranch the two... I consistently giggle while considered one of our "city-living" pals comes as much as flow to and dresses inappropriately. And featuring adult adult males donning gown footwear or high priced "footwear"

I would say pretty good. But, I don't think you're being very honest or realistic with yourself on a few of those points.

you sound pretty serious about sticking to your list so i think, if you find the right person you'll be in for a really good relationship.

And you say you're not into games...
The last one, about taking care--that doesn't work. Sometimes it's one way, and you can't measure it. It's necessary.
Good luck...
