Hi -
I know I'm not every woman's dream, but given what a lot of women want, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.
I've got a decent job, car (sorry, no Milwaukee vibrator), house, money in the bank, haven't cheated on anybody since college (does that even count?), never been violent with a woman (or a girl when I was a boy for that matter), and am always referred to as a really nice, thoughtful, and caring guy (even by my ex-wife), but if that's all that's important you'd likely already be all silly about somebody else right now and not reading this.

So here's 20 other things about me, for better or for worse:
1) I'm wicked smart (98th percentile IQ, erudite, streetwise, as well as trivial) but I don't have a 6 figure income (nor do most folks in Mensa for that matter).
2) Having fun and laughs are very important to me (it's the penultimate human behavior). I think being a little sarcastic can be a good thing - even if it's at my expense. I really appreciate (insist on?) a sense of humor in others.
3) I like to drink - not everyday and usually not at home, but I do enjoy it when I'm out (facilitates #2) and I could probably educate you about wine, beer, etc., and if not, so much the better. This is also the best way to get me to swing dance to most anything but I will not country line dance regardless of the amount of alcohol involved (see #4).
4) I love music, especially live, and really like the blues - also enjoy quite a variety of others (Zappa, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, Cowboy Mouth, Dash Rip Rock, Asylum Street Spankers, Junior Brown, Stevie Ray Vaughan, a lot of pre-1980 rock, jazz-big band, zydeco, Old R&B, bluegrass, folk, classical - esp Ludwig Van) but I do have a definite disdain for most rap, all disco/techno, most pop, and "new" country (country from the old/dead butt ugly guys is fine however). I won't go to see a DJ "perform".
5) I'm 5'11", 195#, and work out (even when hungover). I'm 49 per the calendar but don't look, act, or feel like it - not by a long shot.
6) Have very short/minimal head-hair - always was thin (grass doesn't grow on a busy street and too much testosterone is inherent in MPB), have hairy chest, but not back or Robin Williams like in abundance anywhere.
7) I like to have dinner out and will drop $200 at a good restaurant, but can't conceive of spending more than $100 on a pair of shoes (OK if you can/do though).
8) I'm not a fashion plate (Levis/Dockers) and have no problem with you picking out clothes for me (provided that they're comfy and don't look too ridiculous on me).
9) I'm not afraid to admit I watch TV but (other than movies) the only things I watch habitually are the news, Frontline, Daily Show, Colbert, and Southpark.
10) I RARELY watch sports on TV - do go to the occasional hockey or ball game but I won't know the roster. I'd rather play a sport than watch it (except for maybe Irish Hurling).
11) I'm a movie buff and generally unimpressed with what's been put out in the last 10-15yrs, not that there wasn't a lot of crap put out before then too, just seemingly more classics as well.
12) I'm very liberal but I see (& sometimes agree with) the reasoning behind libertarianism; neo-conservatism and "family values" however are bullshit.
13) I enjoy giving back/foot/head/body massages to a woman I'm involved with, even without reciprocity (though it's obviously preferred).
14) I've always dated attractive and intelligent woman (whatever that means / is worth).
15) I'm not into trends, fads, or the latest whatever as they're usually silly and fleeting.
16) I'm recently divorced (~2yrs, only time) and don't have/want kids of my own, nor do I want to marry again - not afraid of commitment but the "institution" obviously holds little allure for me.
17) I enjoy "art" and usually get along with artists & artist types, though some contemporary stuff (e.g. a big clothespin) is lost on me.
18) I'm well traveled (e.g. Egypt) and think being so adds to a person's perspective on others and life as a whole.
19) I really, really, really, really, really love sex.
20) I don't do drugs anymore but in my teens & twenties - Holy Crap!!

Here's 10 things I likely won't be able to tolerate in you, at least not for any real length of time:
1) You find any of the above 20 things about me absolutely intolerable.
2) You look, feel, or act much more than 40 (note that I didn't say "are").
3) You're more than a few pounds overweight (unless you're making serious progress to the contrary) or ugly - before you get pissed, you should already know men are pigs and shallow, if not see #4.
4) You're very conservative or stupid in some other way.
5) You love or even like Kenny Chesney.
6) You're currently addicted to intravenous drugs, coke, crack, or crank; likewise if you currently don't ever drink or have fun.
7) You're an ardent vegan or vegetarian (agree with the reasoning but cow chow is just too tasty - I'll eventually have to dine bovine without ya).
8) You're "tired of the bar scene." You're probably just going to the wrong bars (e.g. Nectar, Lafayette, Lush, Washington Ave., Wild Country, etc.) and need to go see a blues band or drink in a pub.
9) You want to stay in all the time (without sex).
10) You have sexual hang-ups or are sexually repressed (and not willing to overcome them via my long regular sessions).

If you can handle/meet most of the above, our chances for a LTR (in my mind anyways) will be directly proportionate to how needy, co-dependent, and insecure you are.

Meet for a drink, find out if we get along, and see how accurate our pictures are - fun stuff comes after (immediately?) the initial meet & greet.
