Hi there. Hmm. . where to start. . ok. . well. . I have a silly sense of humor (ok, I've been *accused* of being juvenille, but hey - I can't help it). I like to tell stories, laugh, and am open to doing anything that sounds like a good time. I'm not not a mushy romantic (I could lie, but you'd find out sooner or later. . hehe) although I've been known to send flowers. I don't like long walks on the beach, sand makes me itchy and besides, I'm lazy. . I'd rather drive (ok, kidding. . I'm a smart a$$. ) I love going out as much as staying in. Clubs or movies on the couch. . it's your call. I haven't found myself. . and I'm not looking, as I've never been 'lost'. I'm a real, honest to goodness man. (although not a redneck). So - in summary - if you're looking to meet a down to earth guy who appreciates 'REAL' people, and especially a well-grounded woman who WANTS me but doesn't NEED me. . I might be your guy. =8^) PS. I like flirts :) Unlike everyone who complains about them, I think it's a great ice breaker, and I understand not everyone is great at going 1st :) So, if your interested, and can't think of what to say, flirt away :) I've got enough to say for the both of us. . hehe. . :)

Caution: Rant Follows :) If you have no sense of humor, please move along (actually, if you do have a sense of humor, I apologize in advance. . hehe. . ) My ideal partner is someone who knows better than to write overtly obvious things like 'I'm looking for someone decent, kind and honest'. Blah, blah, blah. . Do you think someone who is bad, cruel and untrustworthy is going to tell you the truth ? Q: 'Baby, would you ever cheat on me ?'. . A: 'Ummm, yeah. ' Real world example ? I think not. . So puhleezee. . I cannot stomach one more profile where it says something to the effect . . 'I'm looking for a kind, gentle man to be my soulmate'. . . Ughhhh. . I gotta tell ya ladies. . it's mushy drivel like that that attracts loosers in the 1st place. Keep the cliches to a minimum please. We all know the drill. . we want someone kind, caring and fun. Go it. It's understood. It's a prerequisite. If that's really all you've got to say, well you haven't said much. Water is wet, fire is hot, ice is cold, etc. etc. thank you. . I understand. Please actually tell me something constructive. . (example: hHy, I like to drink too much wine and fly a kite off my balcony sometimes). . You're looking for 'Happiness' Yeah, I know that. That's the benchmark, the baseline, that's the bare minimum level of what everyone is looking for. How about a little more insight. . please ? Could I PLEASE hear from someone who acutally IS smart and fun, and just doesn't think they are ? Don't invest in a relationship if you don't have enough in your emotional bank account to cover it. Love yourself 1st. Be your own best friend. Until you understand why you're such a terrific person, how can you expect anyone else to ? Weak minded lemmings need not apply. If this is not you. . . Talk to me. . if nothing else, I'll make ya smile :) P. S. - I do not even HAVE any pictures of myself in my underwear, or any where I'm pointing any part of my anatonomy at anything. Not that anyone has asked yet, but I just though if you knew that in advance, then you might be more apt to write :)
