I haven't updated this in some time, so I figured it was due for a major overhaul. First of all, if you know where the quote in my headline came from, I'll marry you right now. Second of all, I have noticed a few trends on here, so I figure I'll address those before you spend too much time reading my profile.

Disclaimer #1: I have recently been diagnosed with epilepsy and as a result, I have lost my driver's license. I know this may be unattractive to some of you, but that's how God made me and I'm happy with it. Some people can deal with it, some people can't. Just be aware that I don't have the ability to just jump in the car and meet you somewhere for a date. And yes, I am on medication to control my seizures.

Disclaimer #2. I am not putting these things up here because I think I am egotistical or think I'm better than anyone else. Face it, if I had women lining up for dates, I wouldn't have the need to post a profile on this site. I am me, I know what I like and I am mature enough to realize I shouldn't have to settle for anything less.

That being said...

I have posted several pictures of me. Most of them are full body shots and they were taken on days where I was at work and certainly not "cleaned up". If you are going to message me, please at least return the favor and include a photo of yourself. I realize some of you may be professionals (teachers, doctors, etc) and it would be detrimental to post your photo. That's fine. At least explain that to me in your e-mail and include a picture there if possible.

2. I have no problems with children. I have a sixteen month old niece and a five year old nephew. They are my world. I don't have a problem with single parents having children. My personal choice is to date someone without children. That doesn't mean I won't consider someone who does have kids. I just want to be able to have my own child and raise that child from conception on.

3. Your profile picture is a generous shot of your cleavage and yet your profile very plainly says you are not looking for a booty call or hookup. I've yet to understand that. If that is the case, why post a picture that certainly draws attention to certain body parts? Now don't get me wrong, I certainly love the physical aspect as much as the next man, but do I really want to choose a potential date based off her cleavage?

4. I prefer to date within my own race. Does this make me a racist? Not by any stretch of the imagination. However, it seems that I receive a large number of messages from African American BBW and I have yet to understand this. I appreciate the nice things you say in your e-mails, but I know what I am attracted to and that is certainly not it.

5. Yes, I have animals in my pictures and I understand they are cute. I did not include the animals in the photos because they are chick magnets. I can certainly hold my own without the animals. I just feel my pictures should tell you a little bit about who I am and what makes me tick. I love the animals and they love me. That is what I have always done and that is what I will probably always do. I'm in my element and I am happy.

6. Tattoos and piercings are okay in small doses. And I mean small. Again, not trying to be picky, but I do know what I like and what I don't like.

7. I am extremely happy with me and I am an open book. If there is anything you would like to know, send me an e-mail and ask me.

I am not a fan of dinner and a movie. I never know what to order and I always feel like I need to wipe my mouth. Besides, I have seen me eat and sometimes it's not a pleasant thing to watch. Why not go bowling or ride go-karts or go to the batting cage? If I had my way, I'd take off to the ranch and spend a weekend out there. I have no problems staying at home and watching a movie, but I also clean up very well and wouldn't mind going to see a play or visiting a museum. Sorry, but you will not find me at a club or on a dance floor. I'm white and even though I was in band, I can't dance to save my life.
