I know women. I grew up surrounded by them. I have more than a handful of older sisters and the mental scars to prove it. Then I turned 16 and realized they had been a blessing in disguise all this time. They taught me many things - never settle, make sure your belt matches your shoes, leather pants are not meant for men, always put the seat down, how to be a good listener and still watch the game, make-up sex is over rated, a good sense of humour is a must, a lady is worth waiting for and most importantly - always be a gentleman.
Call me old fashioned in a contemporary kind of way. In case you can't tell, I have a strong sense of family. I have a successful career and a great quality of life. I don't take myself too seriously and can carry on a conversation about global economics or why Monty Python and the Holy Grail could be the funniest movie ever. I know what I'm looking for, I take care of myself and I'm determined to find a woman who will make me a better person. Scared yet?

A first date? Anything from a good conversation to coffee to a 97 Amarone. Beer and wings while watching the game or live music - count me in.
