11/05/09: I'm back from my hiatus - hoping to give this another try. #1. If you don't have a pic, don't email me. #2. If your pic is several years old - post a recent one - I don't deceive, nor do I like being deceived - it's a respect and trust issue. #3. Make sure, before you email me, you PHYSICALLY take care of yourself - it has nothing to do with the camera angle.... #4. Have table manners and don't talk with your mouth full of food. #5. I don't give a sh** if you've got money, just be real and true to yourself - materialistic things don't impress me - YOU are what impresses me. #6. I prefer men closer to my age - I don't want to raise another child nor do I need another dad. And last but not least #7. If you have a girlfriend, married, or seperated, don't bother knocking buddy, 'cause this chica isn't interested until you're SINGLE. I think I covered them all but then again, I'm sure someone will find a loop hole. Cheers!

My apologies if this comes across harsh - I didn't mean to hurt anyone, but I'm just being honest - keeping it real as I would only expect you to.

09/09/09: I'm taking a hiatus from here for a while. Cheers!



Hobbies: What hobbies? My kids are my life, at least until they grow up and move out.

Goals/aspirations: Hopefully to meet someone special. One that likes to take charge, but not controlling. Knows what he wants and is not afraid to go get it. Someone that takes care of himself physically. Someone comfortable in his own skin - versatile.

My uniqueness: Humm, that's hard. I'm true, honest (sometimes to a fault) because I tend to be direct - you'll know where you stand with me, but not in an argumentative or disrespectful way. I'm willing to learn, open minded and not afraid to try new things (within reason). I like a good bottle of cab, don't mind beer w/ pizza or buffalo wings, when I go out - it's C&C baby.

My music: I tend to be versatile. My dad raised me on big band and easy listening while my mom tried to raise me on country. But true in heart, I'm a rocker - what can I say?

First date: Humm, people tend to be more comfortable on neutral grounds. I found that a drink also loosens them up. Maybe the first meet either drinks or a lunch - something quick if both/either aren't feeling it.

P.S. No disrepect to anyone, but if you don't take care of yourself (I'm talking about weight here) or is probably old enough or close enough to be my dad, please don't bother. Same for the ones that are young enough to date my daughter - and no, you can't date her because she's under age. I appreciate the compliment and the ego boost, but really - in all reality - I can't see it happenin'.

Cheers!
