Adrian, Michigan is this handsome 23-year-old's home. Ever eager
to find his great catch, he half-jokingly remarks that he is "Sick
of being the single dude in the group". With hazel eyes and
brown hair, this young gentleman won't likely be single for
long.
Always smiling, Eslom517 says that he has "Christian values" and
is a dog lover. Faith-based and animal charities get his
support.
He enjoys the outdoors, especially, fishing and
sports. "I'm a big sports nerd," he says, "get used to
it."
Self-described as independent and "very trustworthy", he expects
that from his fish in return. "I try to find the good in all
people."
Eslom517 is very funny and loves to laugh. He jokingly
describes his income as over $1M, but is realistic about his
future. "Despite life's curve balls, I still keep my head up,
and look at the bright side," he said, "I've worked road
construction, building maintenance, worked at a couple pizza shops,
and at a couple parts shops. I've always had two jobs up until this
year. Times are tough."
Eslom517 always wanted to own his own pet shop. Maybe one
day he will see that dream come true, as well as finding his
special someone. What is he looking for? Well, his ideal
catch will be "happy" and have "pretty eyes and smile", he
said. "She would still rather shop at Goodwill than spend $600
at the mall." In the end, Eslom517 knows that finding "someone who
can put up with me for another 50+ years" is what it's all
about.

Ladyriona is a 45 year-young divorced woman living
in Orlando, Florida, who declares that she is "One in a
million!" It's good to be confident in one's self, and this
mother of one son is right to feel that way.
This blue-eyed blonde is patient and non-judgmental, but there
is more to her than meets the eye. "I may seem like I am
conservative and practical, but am really a rebel in disguise. I
like compliments and surprises that are thoughtful."
Ladyriona is very creative. She enjoys creative writing and
plays multiple instruments. She also draws and
paints. But for ladyriona, work comes first.
Ladyriona is a teacher in an alternative health occupation
program and sits on a state regulatory board. She also
believes in higher education for herself and is in graduate
school. "I am still learning," she said. "I really enjoy when
I see a student 'get it' - that 'aha moment' is what I live
for." Her career is important to her. She is very proud
of her work noting, "I like that I can make a difference and will
be able to leave a legacy for my profession."
A self-proclaimed work-aholic, she also wants to make time for
romance. Indeed, her favorite movie is Pride and Prejudice
, and the romantic couple she most
admires is the memorable fictional couple from that story, Mr.
Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett. They are "perfect for each
other but also very stubborn; you just want them to be together -
always." Like those characters, ladyriona hopes to find her "best
friend" and be married for "for all time" - a laudable goal for
this Florida self-described overachiever.
