| | OK. I suppose I'll actually have write something substantive here. I turned 32 four days ago (October 2009). I'm 6'3" and about 195 pounds with light brown hair and green eyes. No glasses. I like nice suits and good jeans. I've been a lawyer for a few years and am looking to segue into real-estate development. It's not a career switch; it's a strategic tack. Incidentally, I don't date other lawyers; female lawyers are neither my type nor, as far as I know, anyone else's. I'm looking for a nurturer, not a competitor; I can find those at work, so I want something else after I leave. For example, while searching this site the other day, I found a girl who listed her chief goal in life as "becoming a good wife and mother." I was astonished. What a refreshing point of view. Now contrast that with the throngs of girls droning on about how much they work and how they love their "challenging" careers in banking, law, or some other tight-ass line of work. Simply put, it's been my experience that those women don't make good girlfriends, wives, or mothers. Moreover, I don't believe for a second that most women are satisfied with that lifestyle---not in the long run, anyway. DISINGENUOUS DISCLAIMER: the foregoing rant is just my opinion; I could be wrong.
Now back to the truth. I have traditional values. No, I'm not a stiff or a religious nut. I drink, laugh, party, and otherwise have a good time---sometimes to excess. The difference is that I have core values. I'm pro-family, pro-normality, and anti-douchebag. I'm a Democrat and consider myself liberal on most topics but conservative on a few, too. I like dogs and other animals. Although it pains me to admit it, I'm actually hilarious. Unless the waiter throws hot coffee in my face, I always tip at least 20 percent. I enjoy Manhattan and the Hamptons but reject the "scene" element of both places. I prize loyalty above almost anything else, and I believe that good people should be rewarded; evil people, punished.
I'm somewhat athletic. I played baseball in high school, but that was it for organized sports. I'm fairly serious about tennis now. I like some professional sports, but I'm not one of those guys who call up radio stations. I don't work out; I think it's a waste of time for me. That said, I never seem to get fat. If you work out, that'll be enough for both of us. I used to be attracted primarily to size 4-6 types, but I've come off that in recent years. The curvy thing has caught my attention. I tend to like younger women. Basically, I scout for girls between 23 and 27, although I'm open to some slight deviations. The age preference is a practical consideration; I'm not "looking" to get married, but I AM at a point at which I'll now consider it, and younger girls allow me more flexibility because I don't have to rush things with them in the same way that I might have to if I were dating a woman my age. I'm a legit 6'3" in bare feet. Actually, I've been this size since I turned 15, so if you're a tall girl who wants to feel small, we can accommodate you; you can even wear some ridiculous four-inch heels that you've been jonesing over. If you're short, that's fine, too, although I tend to draw the line at 5'4".
As regards pictures, I may put one up; I may not. First, I value privacy. But besides that, I hate pictures---not just pictures of me but most pictures of most people. It's always been my feeling that almost everyone looks bad in pictures, so I tend to avoid both taking pictures of other people and being in pictures, myself. I may consider a black-and-white photo; those come closest to telling the truth. I realize that I say this at some risk because girls seem to love pictures. That always amused me because I've seen the guys that these girls have dated, and, well, it's apparent that their aesthetic standards are, shall we say, less than exacting. Oh, well. That's life! :) |
