Let me apologize in advance to all of you men who look at "the cover" but don't read the book, who I am is more than you can ever get from a picture and who you are is only as important as who you make yourself out to be. I've learned that the only thing that's important in life are the FACTS.

So with that being said, Some facts about me: I work alot. I demand a lot of myself and those around me. If greatness isn't what you strive to be, then anything less is considered wasted potential that I don't have the time to waste on. My expectations in life begin and end with one motto, to say what you mean and mean what you say and always --ALL WAYS-- keep it honest. I don't need to be wined and dined because I do for me. I don't need you to tell me what I want to hear, because I live in the real world and don't need to be coddled. I don't need to look in your pocket to see how much money you have but I do prefer that your ability to do for yourself is as equal as mine is. I'm open and honest (sometimes to the point where its brutal)...mentally and emotionally stable and very balanced...gainfully employed and very independent...i think "outside the box" and refuse to allow myself to be simple or narrow minded about anything...I'm strong and unyielding and very spiritual without limiting my beliefs to manmade ideals...I'm confident, observant and driven...sexy and intelligent with common sense sprinkled all over...perceptive...mature and focused...drama free and duty free (single...with no surprises from an ex...childless with no obligations to anyone but myself). I don't claim to know a lot...but I do know a little bit about a lot of different things. We can talk about everything under the sun from politics to football, philosophy, religion to hip hop and my opinion on life and enthusiasm for living it will inspire you. My heart has been broken and I've appreciated every minute and every second of that experience. I've been in love and I know what it is. I've loved and I know what love feels like and how to give it and receive it without the expectation of someone giving it to me in return. I've been in relationships and know how to be committed and devoted to my partner...but I've also lost and know that even when you lose, you win. I only give what I know I can and never make promises that I can't or don't intend on keeping. I'm not looking for a casual date, a one night stand or a friend who seeks to add what they would consider "benefits" to my life. Soulmate sounds too cliche but in reality, someone who isn't scared to show me their soul and settle down is who I'm interested in getting to know.

Some Facts About You? You're the type of man who walk with a certain swagger that radiates confidence, Your Honest, Funny, Respectful, Sincere, Independent (emotionally and financially), Sensitive and Open-minded, Sensual, Confident, Ambitious, Attractive, Well-Groomed and Mature. You are open to being friends first because you understand that without the foundation of a friendship, nothing substantial between two people can cohesively exist...Most importantly above all your intelligence and common sense are not up for negotiation...

Tell me the truth and ill give you no lies. Tell me a lie and you won't ever get an opportunity to change the error of your judgment. I'm like no other unique to the core...and when you meet me, I can guarantee that you will never forget me, and never want to....

im pretty open and find enjoyment in almost everything so I guess it would be up to finding some common ground...enjoying a cup of coffee/tea at a coffee shop, dinner or even people watching...good conversation + good company = a good first date :o)
