I am a registered nurse, working in the operating room most of my nursing career. I work in a 97% female work environment and have raised four daughters. So you might say I am familiar with ladies and have an education on how to work with ladies. The woman I meet would be gentle, educated, with good manners. One who is well read and likes to travel.

I would go to a nice restaurant that is quiet, hard to find these days!! I think a nice restaurant and a bottle of wine is a nice conversation starter. I enjoy good conversation and I am comfortable with good conversation. I can answer questions with more than a yes and no. In other words, I am socially adept.


Men's Rules

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up; You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

2. Sunday--SPORTS. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

3. Shopping is not a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

4. Crying is blackmail.

5. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work. Strong hints do not work. Obvious hints do not work. Just say it.

6. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost any question.

7. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

8. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

9. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in any argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

10. If you won't dress like the Victoria Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

11. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

12. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it.

13. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

14. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.

15. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit......not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

16. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

17. If we ask what is wrong and say "nothing" we will act like nothing is wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

18. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

19. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really!!

20. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such subjects as basketball, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.

21. You have enough clothes.

22. You have to many shoes.

23. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

24. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know men don't mind that. It's like camping.
