About Me:

Two goldfish were in their tank. One turns to the other and says, 'You man the guns, I'll drive.'

I'm cheerful and energetic but with an ever so slightly sick and twisted sense of humor.

I have a stimulating-ish job, a small but fabulous tribe of friends, and the cutest cat and dog on the planet.

I'm happy. I know exactly what I want and need and have a decent idea of how to get there. I've done a lot of stupid things in my lifetime but (and here's the key) I have learned from my mistakes. A lot of people seem to be off put by this confidence but I wouldn't trade it for anything. We all have bad stuff happen to us from time to time and we deal with it, so why make more angst if you don't have to?

I'm a bit of a tree hugger and a total softy for animals.

Does anyone really understand the point of all those apps and games on Facebook?
I don't see why people do it.

It'd be great to have a cycling/kayaking buddy. I like to get out and be active but also value my couch potato time. C'mon lets get outside!!!

I’m looking to find a life partner. I don't say marriage because, been there, done that, and don't think you need that expensive piece of paper to have a loving, monogamous, lifetime, know-how-he-takes-his-coffee-in-the-morning-and-bring-it-to-him-in-bed-just-to-see-his-half-asleep-morning-grouchybutt-smile at you.

About You:

Humor is a big draw along with smarts. I have a definite thing for nerds. And I believe the the ability to fix stuff is way underrated. Guys who work with their hands have that little bit of extra sexy.

No men who are separated or had a very recent divorce! I'm not your therapist or your training wheels to get back into dating.
I want kids, just not someone else's. I don't care if they live somewhere else. That still means you have kids. I really don't understand how that concept is so hard to grasp! Besides, I wouldn't want someone who treats kids like if they're not sitting on his couch right in front of him then they don't count.
- Before you type out an indignant email to tell me how unfair I am and that I'm missing out-you just think of all the fat girls who have emailed you that you did not email back, put on your big boy pants, and stop being a f***ing hypocrite.

I want to find someone who knows his own mind. PLEASE be a man with your own opinions! It's frustrating to be out with someone who's answer to most questions is "I don't know", or "whatever you want to do." Passive aggressive behavior will have me make like a tree and leaf.

I'm not perfect, and despite what your mother may have told you, you aren't either!

I love the old cliche of dinner and a movie for a first date. It's simple, gives you something to talk about (just in case), and food is always a good thing. A walk pretty much anywhere would be nice too. I think better when I'm moving and can talk someone's ear off. I had one first date that was a day of kayaking and I really liked that part. He ruined it by trying to get too physical too fast. I'm sorry, but it takes longer than that to get clearance into my personal space.
