Time for a different approach in my attempt to attract Miss Right. It was obvious to me that I’m doing something wrong in making my pitch so I did some research and here’s what I’ve come up with; I am a brain-surgeon / day laborer. I enjoy jetting off to Paris for dinner in my mud truck while sipping champagne from a can. I enjoy fine dining, and seldom super-size my order. I love ballet, especially when the dancers swing around on the pole! No one can be all things to all people, and when you get right down to it, if you aren’t happy being you, then no one can be happy being with you. I’m not sure how to categorize myself, but I think the consensus would be a professional with latent redneck tendencies. I’m not pretentious, but you won’t catch me at a restaurant that has a drive up window, or swilling beer from a can. I’ve led an interesting life, and not all of it has been a cakewalk, but I’ve learned what really counts, and I wouldn’t change a minute of it (well, maybe a few minutes). I can tell you how great I am, and then spend my life trying to live up to your expectations, OR, simply tell you that I try to live by the golden rule. While I don’t always make the right decisions, I ALWAYS make them with the purest intent. (My own version of a “get out of jail free” card.) Sometimes you get kicked in the teeth, but even then you can hold your head high knowing that you have the respect of friends, family and coworkers. So how is such a nice, clever, average looking, middle class guy still single? My friends are wondering the same thing! There are only a few things about myself that I would change, some I can and will, and others are beyond my ability. I desperately want to quit smoking, and even tried the patch... but I couldn’t get it to stay lit.

1st, lets get the obvious out of the way; "average" does not mean 50-100 pounds overweight, at least not on my planet. 2nd, looking "just like your daughter" does not mean you should try to pass her photo off as yours, the 20+ years do show in real life. 3rd, don't try to pass yourself off as a connoisseur, when your picture shows you hanging out in front of the local feed store eating a bologna sandwich with the Springer Cam visible over your shoulder. HONESTY is just about the first thing that plays into a relationship AFTER physical and intellectual attraction. There are just as many people who prefer heavy as thin, and an equal number who prefer somewhere in the middle. This sounds a tad cliché;;;, but if you mislead people hoping it will somehow become a non-issue, then you are only fooling yourself. The concept of "Barbie" is a chick issue, and most of the guys I know have no interest in a 13" mindless blonde hottie that isn't anatomically correct. Now let's move on to a little issue I like to call "REALITY" I still feel that the chemistry test is important. I think most people forget that since they aren’t attracted to everyone, that everyone may not be attracted to them. I prefer girly-girls, but I also like one that can throw on a baseball cap and go for a road trip in the convertible. I think diversity is the key to anything successful, and without the ability to change or adapt, we would still be clubbing our chicks and dragging them back to the cave. When you cut through the BS, there are many differing criteria that we all have, and failing to meet a significant amount of those base criteria for a particular person is not a reflection on YOU! My sister told me that finding your certain someone is a lot like shopping for shoes… It’s difficult to find someone that fits perfectly and is comfortable for any occasion. I’d have to say she’s right….

Yes I do have a motorcycle, no I am not a biker, rather I am a motorcycle enthusiast - meaning for the past 35 years of riding experience, I ride when the weather is nice, and don't when it isn't. I don't have any tattoos, nor the desire to get any (I had coloring books as a child.). When I do "biker" things, I don't do them in groups, nor do I ride in groups, if I wanted to spend my entire adult life in formation, I'd have stayed in the Army!

If you think I'm too old for you, you're probably right. If you think I'm too young for you, again, probably right... If you think I'm just right and we could live together happily ever after, then you probably shouldn't surf the web while drinking excessively, but e-mail me anyway!

I'm pretty much traditional in values, but non traditional when it comes to dating... I'm open for just about anything that doesn't require a rider for my life insurance policy!
Dinner and a movie *yawn*
Moonlit walk on the beach *snore*
Sunset ride down the coast *perk*
Cookouts in the back yard with the neighbors and friends *ohyeahbaby*
