Y'know, I actually did this whole internet dating thing years ago with horrific results (Hello big mean mole girl wherever you are) and for a long time I swore I'd never do it again. So I'm sitting here asking myself why I'm wasting valuable time filling out this profile. I'd like to think that I'm not here out of desperation, or that I just need some new bad date stories to tell (Much love Mole Girl). I think that what it comes down to is not so much that I've regained some of my youthful optimism, but have reached a place of personal contentment and realistic expectations. If I'm destined to be single for the rest of my life, I can accept that, but at the same time I'd be really frickin angry if I missed out on the perfect woman because I wasn't paying attention.

On a completely separate note, am I the only one who asked themself just what the hell kind of ghetto dating website am I signing up for that "do you have a car" has to not only be specifically asked, but listed proudly in my basic information?

My interests are wide ranging, to the point that some have said that they are contradictory. I can spend as much time watching Fox News and the History channel as I do Spike and Adult swim on Cartoon Network. I’m very spiritual and attend church regularly, but often behave in ways that would earn me some dirty looks by most of those in the congregation. I’m picky, but not really judgmental . I don’t take myself, or much else, too seriously. I’m very sarcastic but expect people to get what I’m saying based on the context rather than my tone. This throws off some of the slower folks.

I consider myself to be something of an adreneline junky. You can bet that if the speed limit is 45 I'm probably doing about 47. I've also been known to do a fair amount of jay walking, swim after big meals and once snuck into a movie without paying.

I'd get into my taste in music, movies, books etc. but then if we went on a date we'd only be left with things like "what's your favorite color" and graphic descriptions of "The Mole".

With so many women on here stating how important sense of humor is, why do I get the feeling that there is some 6' 2" unfunny clown with 6 pack abs getting way more love than me. Hmmmm?

I have a coupon for Sizzler that is burning a hole in my pocket. Let’s not fool ourselves. Everybody who has ever been on an internet date knows that you need to have an out. In the event of a personality clash or the fact that someone has misrepresented them self, there has to be a way to end the date as painlessly as possible. Meeting for drinks on a weeknight is usually a good start, that way either one of us can blame work if things aren't going well. Despite all of this I am very open minded, optimistic and generally behave like a gentleman.
