*** Going back home to Sacramento/Lake Tahoe for the holidays ***
38yo, single, NorCal native living in Las Vegas for the past 6 years. Are there any stable, fun, smart, mature, SINGLE women left in this town?!?!?!
OK I do have to admit I am a sucker for 'cougars' as they call them these days (is that a politically correct term anymore?) but being a specific age is nowhere near a requirement. Cougar may not be the optimum term but I hope you get the point. I'm not that vain nor shallow. Please possess good social skills, proper grammar, a sense of humor, and an understanding of how important a career is. There ARE some of us who can't party all night and need to wake up early for work the next day. Crazy concept here in Vegas I've learned.
I do smoke cloves when out on the town and being social. (yes, the same cloves we smoked back in HS during the 80's). Am also a political junkie through and through but not over the top nutso about it. Just come prepared with an intelligent debate and all will be well.
I am looking for 'the one' if there is such a thing.
Am a diehard Chargers fan as well.

The Vegas dating gene pool is shallow enough as it is so please have good grammar, social skills, stable mind and lifestyle. No games here. I am brutally honest and expect the same respect in return.

Look, we all have had crazy dates, psycho ex's, and unreal dating stories. Even us guys do! So I thought giving this 'fishing' thing a shot might actually restore my faith in women. I figure there is more than likely a 'fish' for all of us out there somewhere. I am willing to keep my eyes open during life's travels in hopes of finding mine.

Worst case scenario would be I gain a few new friends along the journey.

You can't be scared of multiple tattoos. Don't let the aged punk rock exterior scare you as I have found a nice balance between the tattooed guy and Monday-Friday career guy.

As for the first date...good lord please nothing intimidating or complicated. Pressure-free two drinks and a game of pool? I'm all for dressing up and hitting the town but think that is more of a second or future date material.
