First of all, If you're NOT interested in a masculine guy; a "man's man" that knows what he wants and where he's going, you can simply keep looking. I'm strong, passionate, creative, GENUINE with strong integrity that is looking for a strong woman. You don't have to be a top-producer in your field but you should have at least a few interests and be good at what you do - and looking to become even better. Is respecting and believing in my partner for who and what she is so wrong? A big personality is great by me!

I have many talents and I'm a lot of fun. If you don't like to have fun - just move along! Many full moons ago, I used to be a vegetarian; not because I love animals (which I do), but because I hate plants - so damn smug! Now, I've come back to the ways of the omnivore.

I'm an excellent communicator and frankly, I get "it"! (Huh? A guy that "gets it"? Yes, I know how you feel - freakin' weird, huh? Not sure what "it" is? Maybe you shouldn't ask then.) I'm confident and polished with a ton of interests myself. I'm an author, talk show host, producer, musician/vocalist, speaker, socially-involved, politician, technorati and sometimes, a nerd.

I love all sorts of music and have played most of it at one time or another on various instruments. I enjoy playing golf, riding my bike and working out to keep fit. I sometimes will catch a game, but I'm not obsessed with watching them as I'd rather be playing.

I have a very quick wit with a strong sense of humor and you know that waiter in the restaurant that kept you laughing all night? I can keep up with him and maybe even send him back to the kitchen with his tail between his legs.

Once, I had a computer beat me at chess, but it proved no match for me at kick-boxing.

You: you are sweet, fun, funny, intelligent and already have a direction. We all have baggage, but you and I have ours under control. You take care of yourself and know how to dress appropriately, and especially how to carry yourself in many different situations. You have a range of interests and have invested in yourself to become the partner deserving of someone of great quality in your life. You have no children (sorry, but I simply won't date single mothers any more!) and limited drama (I can't reasonably expect NO drama, now can I?)

I'm very busy with my life and if I don't get back to you here, please don't take it personally. I probably saw something in your profile that just wasn't a good match between us. Besides, this way, we both have time for others that do match well - I wish that for you!

Also, I don't send virtual teddy bears or virtual roses or virtual hugs or anything of the sort as I think that's rather crass. When I give a gift, it's important, significant and from the heart - not some meaningless freebee or attempt at manipulation. If you need that to feel special, I'm really not the guy for you! When you DO get a gift from me, it'll be backed by the integrity and value of something heartfelt - because you deserve no less.

Oh, and I spel gud two.

I bet I can make you laugh, sourpuss!

See? I got a smile out of you already!

Gosh darn it, dating should be FUN! If you're not having fun doing it, trust me, you're with the wrong guys!
