I dress myself every morning, tie my own shoes and I don’t often get distracted by shiny things. I sometimes cross the street when the crosswalk sign is flashing red, I often run with scissors and I even did a brief stint in porn because I needed the money. Well, I didn’t really need the money. Yeah, I like to live on the edge.

I tend to be attracted to women who can gas their own car but don’t feel threatened when I want to do it for them. Women who can solve their own problems but value my input because they know I won’t push are also quite attractive to me. Women who take care of themselves and may have a few extra pounds hold a special place for me because they know that a woman should look and feel like a woman - I don’t like feeling bones when I’m against her. I don’t care how tall you are but you’ll probably be shorter than me. I value beautiful eyes and nice smiles more than anything. Bad teeth won’t go very far with me.

At 5’6”/160, I’m not the tallest or biggest tree in the forest but I do swing a big axe (your mind just went to the gutter didn't it?) and have alpha-male tendencies when it comes to protecting and defending those that I love. Otherwise, I’m a laid-back, fun-loving guy who would much rather laugh than fight. I’m very chivalrous. Please… let me help you with your coat, pull out your chair, hold that door. When and why did that stop happening for women?

I live in Renton and would like to meet someone close. Long distance things don’t generally work and don’t interest me. I’ve been self-employed for 12 years and make my own schedule. I have time for you – please have time for me. I don’t have any children but I do love kids. It’s great that you have them but I won’t want to meet them right away. I used to be a big drinker but I no longer drink at all. I don’t care if you do as long as it’s socially only. I’m a straight shooter. Very direct. I don’t tolerate drama or ignorance well. If you suffer from these things, we’re probably not a good match.

There you have it. Everything is one the table – good and otherwise. So, how about you? Ready for a good man in your life? Do you have time? Know the difference between depending on someone and being dependent? Fit the description above? You’re my girl and I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

Post Script: What is it with people who don't reply to nice emails? "Thanks, no thanks" is perfectly acceptable. You wouldn't ignore me if I introduced myself in public. Why do it here? "Do unto others..."
