i am here on the pretext of finding someone - preferably with a head of gray hair, smelling faintly of old spice, with a great single malt (neat) in hand OR, tattooed, bald, rugged, smelling damn good with eyes that crinkle at the corners. since this is a lot to ask, what i have tended to do is post in the forums. i remain completely unapologetic for my often critical views when it comes to politics and economics. however, in true canadian form, i am sorry if my views offend anyone.
my sense of irony is often lost when i try to be funny...so i don't try anymore.
i've been told i'm more brilliant than stupid and a terrible flirt who plays as hard as the boys. apparently, i am not the epitome of feminine perfection. i am, however, articulate, quick witted (well, maybe quick without the witted?) and can engage in lively banter with the right partner.
i am a reader of great literature and trashy novels. i like films AND movies. i love vermeer's artful painting of light, vettriano's form and emotion, and the strong lines of arts and crafts architecture. i think communication may be a dead art form, but i'm willing to resurrect it. i’m a realist who believes that Machiavelli had it mostly right. the artsy side that shares room with my perverse, morbid and warped sense of humour is the one that finds intellect sexy and charm mesmerizing. i'm looking for charisma, confidence and smarts - that will get me into bed far faster than any flowers or candles...
i can concede a point if it's a good one. i can compromise when it makes sense. i like to hog the remote, sometimes i bite my nails and i like to sleep half naked. i'm neurotic in a girly way. i love stormy nights, thoroughly drenching rain and dark melancholy days. i take showers, not baths. and i really loathe, abominate and despise the colour pink.
i'd like to meet a man not easily intimidated by strong women; someone who likes a challenge and knows that sometimes intelligent and witty conversation can be a substitute for foreplay; who falls within the 35-45 age range; and who values integrity and respect as key elements in any significant relationship.
i should mention i have a 14 year old jock for a son. if you have kids, that's ok. but if you're looking for a girl to push out your puppies, you might want to keep looking.
still reading? tell me why you chose to respond to this ad. you don't have to be original, just inspired. please and thank you.
to be able to engage in conversation and to actually be close enough to touch when making a point...
