Re: Is Aikido right for me?

Well, what do you think a bunch of aikidoka are going to say?

Dan's got the right idea though.... I think he should get a "recruiter of the month" award. (Lorraine DiAnne if you're reading this....)

So far, nothing anyone has said, detracts from my original response to you.

Maybe the question should be "are you right for Aikido"?

Whatever art you end up deciding with, do it because you love it. If you don't like it, even if it is the most effective self-defense system in the world, it is not going to help you one bit.

Besides, (almost) everyone else here (and over at FA) will tell you the same thing: it's not the art that's effective, but the practitioner.
