Great, I get to brag about myself! Well, let's see, where do I begin? I'm wonderful, near perfect in every way, intelligent, witty, sarcastic, romantic, kind, considerate, and pretty. Oh, oh, oh, I know how to play chess also. See? I told you -- I got dem der brains too. Wait! Stop! Ugh! Are you vomiting yet? I am. So, what would you like to know? I suppose my interests may be on your list-of-things-I'd-like-to-know-about-her list, so here goes. I LOVE music, music, music, live bands (as opposed to dead ones), dancing to the music I love (you get mega extra points if you dance, and by dancing, I don't mean look like you're having convulsions; doing the chicken dance doesn't count either), movies, animals (not just for eating), children that don't act like animals, reading (for those who don't read, they have these things called books, which have pages that have words on them and you read the words on those pages), sarcasm (I know...I hide it well), anything on or near the water, foreign films (I told you, I read), and more, but I'm tired of typing, so I'll stop here. If you want to know more, ask me, I don't bite (shhhhh, I know what you're thinking, so there's no need to say it).

Also, just so you're not shocked, I've always lived my life to the beat of my own drum and sincerely believe in the "live and let live" theory. So, if you are angry, bitter, hung up on someone in your past ("ghosts" count too) or present, and think life is just one big pain in the butt, look elsewhere, because I am not interested. I am too happy to be brought down by the likes of you. However, if you are upbeat, easy going, open minded, honest, affectionate, sincere, not afraid to state your opinions even if they differ from mine, communicate well and often (chatterboxes are welcome as long as there's some substance to your rambling), can see your toes (a little anyway) while standing, and you understand my sense of humor, let's click keys. Oh, in case you're wondering, yes I can be serious when I have to be, and no, I am not looking for a knight in shining armor on a gleaming white horse - I'm just looking for a sincere, nice guy on a pony (if you're tall, I hope you give the pony a break and ride a horse). I am open to casual dating, but, in all honesty, would prefer the guy on the pony. In case this is confusing, I would prefer a serious relationship over a casual one. I am honest to a fault (sometimes downright blunt - I'm working on it though), kind, warm, affectionate, playful (yes, playful), passionate (about lots of things, not just passion), caring, and extremely loyal with the right person. I am also outgoing, outspoken, and have been told I'm definitely off center (in a good way). And no, I've never been accused of being quiet and shy.

P.S. If you insist on trying to get to know a "cougar" (I hate that word), watch out, cougars can be very dangerous if you don't know how to handle them.

P.P.S. I am high energy and a night owl, so if you go to bed at 10:00 and/or think staying out until midnight is a "night out," you are not going to like the hours I keep.

Grrrr, I guess I'm somewhere between a rock and a hard place; a lot of men my age act and look "old" (sorry, but many do, and by old, I don't mean grey hair, I mean they haven't taken good care of themselves through the years); and I don't want someone who can call me mama and mean it. Where are the in between men? Come out, come out, wherever you are. Maybe I should think about softening my approach. There, I thought about it. Nope, I'm not changing...I love me the way I am...so what if I live with cats the rest of my life....

Stare at each other and try and decide if we want to get together for a second meeting/date/chance/staring contest/just for the heck of it cuz we're bored and thought the other person was okay so we'll give them a few more moments/minutes/hours of our life.
