Hi. Thanks for having a look...

THINGS YOU MAY (OR MAY NOT) WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ME.

-I’m 44. Yes, really.

-I selected "Dating" for what I am seeking, since you can only select one. Got to start somewhere, yes? Friends are welcome - don't know many folks around here.

-I am easygoing - everyone says that, but I really am. Not looking to get married tomorrow. Going out would be nice. Maybe I should have selected "Hang out."

-I selected "Brown" for hair. You can probably see that is not the case in its entirety. Just doing the whole truth in advertising thing.

-I noticed someone the other day having "straight white teeth" as a requirement. Jeepers. Shopping for horses on the wrong site?

-I live a fairly quiet life. Maybe too quiet. Maybe that’s why I am here.

-I’m an apartment dweller (nope, no fancy home). Killer garage, however.

-I’m employed. I make a decent living. I pay my bills. I even buy stuff.

-I believe class is not something you can buy at Fashion Island.

-I think the biggest enemy of our new administration is small-mindedness.

-I am a “transplant” from Michigan – been here about seven years. I am not sure, but keep thinking I may wish to return there one of these days. I don't know.

-I'm a die-hard Detroit Lions fan. This builds character. Realistically, no one needs THAT much character.

-I’d rather help someone than impress someone.

-I have some really good female friends. I don't know what this means, but their advice is always more insightful than "dude, grab another beer."

-I’m an insufferable gearhead. I love working on things. If your car needs repair, you hit paydirt.

-I iron my own clothes. Everything. Sorry, thought this was my other site, Plenty of OCD.

-I am religious, and even spiritual, but it's a deeply personal thing to me. Those that beat others over the head with it tend to drive me nuts.

-I am a lifelong motorcyclist - I usually own two (looking for a project right now). The new car I bought two years ago has a whopping 4000 miles on it.

-I don’t drink, but I smoke. I can’t figure it out either. I am, however, becoming increasingly ambivalent about the latter.

-I have a cat. She puts up with me. Most of the time.

-I am reasonably intelijunt (sic). I did, however, buy microfiber furniture, and I have the aforementioned cat. She's a long-hair. Okay, so no rocket scientist.

-Materialism irks me. I like/want/even have some nice things, but procurement of things is not a driving force in my life. I don't recall anything about the meek inheriting the new S-Class.

-I pride myself on being a gentleman. That does not mean manicures.

-I’m just a guy. Humility is not thinking less of yourself – humility is thinking of yourself less.

-I clean the lint screen in the dryer for the next person. Sainthood here I come.

-Chivalry is not dead. It’s just sort of a lost art form.

I do want to wish you well in your search.

Dinner in Paris seems a little extravagant. Dinner here maybe? Maybe walk around the swap meet, I mean, it's right up the street and all. This whole dating thing can be kind of hard. I'm pretty easygoing in this regard.
