Let me start with the usual disclaimers:
I have no idea what I'm doing here.
I lost a bet and here I am.
I don't usually do this type of thing but a friend had some good luck finding love on this site so I figured, oh what the heck.
I'm new to the area and am looking for some new friends to explore the city.


I think that about covers the excuses for having an interweb dating profile, but I'll be sure to update as I recognize my deficiencies in the above disclaimer.

P.S.= Everybody loves the beach. It's pretty much a given and unless you are extra Irish or allergic to sunlight, we can probably take it as a given. Loving the beach isn't quite a window into your very soul and being, but I digress. I'm waiting to see someone write: I hate the beach!

Also, I'm not really sure what exactly is wrong with wanting to find someone special, or why so many people feel embarrassed about being here. I'm not, straight up, I'm looking for love in all the places. Be they wrong, right or indifferent. Enough tomfoolery, on with the show!

I'm a self-made man who makes his living making people more colorful. I have plenty of color myself to spread around. Every day is Saturday and I'm looking for someone to enjoy my eternal weekends with. Open-minded and generous, seeking the same. Please don't be fooled by the fact that I'm an artist/musician. I don't spend my nights adding notches to my belt or attempting to serenade every pretty face I see.(Although for the right person I'd gladly sing for my supper.)

I am not college educated, nor do I regret having chosen a simpler path in life. Love what you do and you never work a day in your life. I am a tattoo artist, so if you have a problem with tattoos, please search elsewhere.

I also don't take myself too seriously, however my word is my bond and it is strong like bull. I can't seem to take these profiles too seriously either. My prospective happiness doesn't hinge on how awesome I make myself appear on paper or a screen. And I've grown weary of the multitudes of people that believe that their only way to find "true love" lies in the "matching on 23 levels of personally tech wizardry".

I'm all about meeting that potential special someone. But I refuse to twist my true self into a package that's marketed to be most desirable to whatever bar society is holding for us all to jump over.

I'm a good guy. I'm not God's gift to the world, but I'm trying to make my little corner of it better. I tell the truth. I love my friends and family without reservation. I say what I mean and mean what I say.

I don't have kids and I'm not married. I have a job and a car and I don't live with my parents.(No offense intended to "home dwellers".) I have integrity and I stand up for the things I believe in. And I'd never ask for anything that I'm not willing to work for.

I like to believe that people are fundamentally good and honest. And I'm sure I'd fall into the hopeless romantic category, had I not fallen into the "sucker for love" pile long ago.

My goals include the continued avoidance of the "rat race" and to continue to enjoy new places and people. My aspirations are to further world peace and to end hunger as we know it. Or at least have an occasional cook-out and hand out some sandwiches.


I am uber into art like whoa and music is an integral part of my life. I enjoy everything from hip hop to jazz on through to rock and classical. Not so much into country, as I don't have a farm or cowboy boots.

I'm not here for a hook-up, as Bangme isn't anywhere in the title of this site. I'm not in search of my next victim or that certain special someone who will pay my phone bill/car insurance and give me a bed to crash in between weekends. The long and short is, what you see is what you get. But you ain't seen nothin' yet. But you could if you are looking in the right direction. I'm right here ,for the right pair of eyes.

Thanks for reading my epic novel of a profile, and good luck finding your needle in the proverbial haystack, er... fish in the bowl.

I've never understood why this box exists on these "social sites". Do I really have a chance at wooing you into contacting me with some stellar narrative of dating eloquence? Hmmm, I dunno. Awwww what the hell, here goes anyhow.

For a first date I would rent a tuxedo, since you never get a second chance at a first impression. And I hear that every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man. Perhaps I'd employ a dress uniform from say the Naval Academy, as some women have a penchant for a man in uniform?

I'd most likely wisk you away by an electric stretch Hummer. (Points for eco friendliness and over the top gawdiness perhaps?),
to an exotic dive bar, in a random location, where I can show off my language and diplomacy skills. Perhaps even employ an Indiana Jones hat and whip to facilitate our escape from an angry mob of locals, furious at our trespassing at their local watering hole.

After we recover the diamonds and save a band of orphaned spider monkeys from assured horrific pharmaceutical testing, we drift in the scenic Potomac River until we were rescued by the Coast Guard. Most likely our rescue would be immediately followed by a celebratory gala ball with the Obamas. Not bad for a first date if I do say so myself. I'd go for sure.

But seriously, I'm into new experiences and exploring. I'm game for a drink and a bite to eat. I love live music, art galleries and cultural events. Any of which could make for an interesting first date, provided you don't hate art, music or culture.

I love the outdoors and the indoors. I am totally comfortable in a park, as well as parallel parking. I like the ocean, but rivers and lakes will suffice if no ocean is available. If neither a lake, river or ocean is close at hand, one can surely substitute a harbor, However I must draw the line at creeks and streams. I am no longer twelve so let's put childish things aside shall we.

I am a sucker for Thai food period. Although I do enjoy foods of all kinds and partake in eating such foods on a regular basis. I'm comfortable in the kitchen, especially when that kitchen includes a recliner, however cooking in that position is challenging and I do not recommend attempting this trick unless under strict adult supervision or while in the company of Anthony Bordain or a reigning Iron Chef. Please cook carefully, people are starving and the life you save could be your own.

I am interested in meeting people who are serious about fun and the occasional bout of silliness. Randomness scores high points and is bound to gain you fame and prizes.
