I FEEL THE ABOVE STATEMENT NEEDS TO BE SAID THRICE, SO:

-----------------------------


I've got an eclectic work experience background, from creative/fun advertising to more conservative corp type and in between. I'm looking for a man of integrity, who's easy on the eyes and fun to be with.

I am not into b.s...it's a waste of time, so please move on to someone else's profile, if that's how you play your life. I love dogs, and animals...guess i'm an animal lover. As far as hobbies--varied, from dabbling in creative beading/jewelry making, to gym/sports activity, strolling along a beach or city sidewalk. I do enjoy tennis and golf, and inline skating--altho have not played much in years. I also enjoy digital photography.

I'm a foodie, and also like to stay in shape. I enjoy trying "great finds" in foods/restaurants. It's fun and challenging to find great food, at a great price, in a clean environment with great service. One of my most enjoyable meals was a recent feast prepared by a former White House Chef--it was wonderful! Another favorite "foodie" moment was on a bitter, cold night, when I had a highly rated dessert, in a lovely NYC restaurant, and the food chef (not dessert chef) came out to say hello, and we chatted for a while. These scenarios are pure pleasure for me, after all...I'm a foodie :)

re: Q&A form questions...
1) the smoking --occasionally--refers to a cigar a few times a year. I find it relaxing. I do not care for cigarette smoke.

2) The Children--if you have kids that's fine.

My musical taste is just about everything except opera and rap. My favs are Motown, ie. Diana Ross and the Supremes, Four Tops, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, Stevie Wonder, and others such as Sting, Rolling Stones, Allman Bros, AC/DC, U2, Cher, Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen, Ronnie Spector, Darlene Love, I enjoy listening to Little Steven's Underground Garage on 104.3FM, and more. I'd like to meet a man who is a good guy, smart, funny, fun to be around, and compassionate. The chemistry has to be there. My sense of humor is very good, and I'm a Seinfeld fan...there were storylines that I lived (ie. The Rental Car episode!!), and continue to live new ones LOL.

For a first date, I think it's good to be able to talk, and find out about each other. I think anything from a simple stroll in a beautiful park, such as Central Park, or enjoying a casual meal together...sushi, burger, pizza, or just a Jamba Juice, or coffee. Altho I'm a foodie, I think for a 'first date', it's probably good to keep it casual, in terms of food.
