My friends say that I will never "SETTLE". My neverending search for the perfect slide riff, perfect guitar, perfect paint job, perfect partner.(Perfect for me isn't always perfect for the rest of the world)
I came here to connect to folks that are intelligent and not always like minded. I do appreciate a firm opinion and someone that can argue their beliefs. I spend part of my time writing the great American novel and blogging the hell out of subjects ranging from the upcoming election to alternative forms of energy.
I look back now and think of all those changes that I have made since becoming an adult. I've taken myself to the edge of extreme physically and mentally. None of those changes have been more profound than humbling myself.
I am truly multifaceted and a paradox at times but if you'd like to meet a man that endures, endears, and at times confounds you. Send me a message. Maybe it will be a conversation that lasts a lifetime?
If you've got an open mind, willing spirit, and a good heart by all means, let's plan the next great adventure! SETTLING is NOT an OPTION! I don't generally reply to profiles without photos. What? I don't buy lottery tickets either!


What I have learned about internet dating in 180 days!

1)45% of all female profiles are written like they are IMing someone, putting an ad in the Sunday paper, or have at least one of the "stupid" facial signs that you make with your keyboard. A sentence gets ONE period at the end (period) and they start with capitol letters!!!!!!

2) 30% of women's profiles have "shopping" listed as a hobby or an interest. Men consider taking out the trash more gratifying than going shopping. And you wonder why we don't get each other?

3) A woman will message a man whose profile contains numerous photos of him with guitars and motorcycles. She will actually go to dinner with him and state that motorcycles are dangerous and she prefers Hindu flute music.

4) Almost 50% of you should never drink while on your first date. If you do, please have directions to your house in your purse/wallet or have one of your children stand outside in an international orange vest (like the highway workers wear) so your date can drop you off at the right house.

5) Roughly 13% of the female gender considers "dating" a sport and believes God, the guy at "Dialing for Dollars", or Bob Barker will give her some extra cash for having a "full dance card".

6) "Average" in body takes on a whole new meaning and can be referenced up to and including a small compact car. Women's clothes sizes make no sense to men. A size "7" is not the same at 5 ft 3 inches as it is at 5 ft 9 inches? I think men should be able to apply "irrelevant and ambiguous" sizes to parts of our anatomy also to make it fair. Oh yeah, some of us already do that!

7) If you think he looks like Johnny Depp and he swears to you that he doesn't look like Johnny Depp, take that to be the gospel.

8) Never give a man your phone number and not expect him to use it. It's the "cave man" theory. How do you think we invited fire? We tried it out!

9) A woman that isn't interested in you will NEVER sleep with you. A woman that is interested in you, won't sleep with you YET? I couldn't find YET in the encyclopedia (I could have said "dictionary" but I wanted you to know I could spell) as a reference to an actual time!

10) I thought I was a little off kilter at times until I tried internet dating. I can see now that I am way closer to "NORMAL" than I thought.

11) Never message someone that has obviously “cut” someone out of the picture. That’s what they got in the last divorce, break up, or palimony suit.

12) You will hear from someone for several continuous days and then suddenly "POOF" they are long gone. This is known as the "Dating, Let's make a Deal" syndrome. You remember that show with Monte Hall? You were traded for the person behind door #3 or in the big box with the red bow on it.

13)Any photo will do, so long as it was taken since you went through puberty.

14) Over 20% of the females on here don't post a photo. What are you thinking? And NO, I don't believe that ALL of you are famous and someone might recognize you!

15) "Wine tasting" as an interest? I'll bet that guy in the raincoat over on Van Buren started that way! Sorry I don't get the wine tasting. It rates right up there with "sushi" as an interest. I just think that if you have "wine" or a "food group" as an interest, you probably need to examine your priorities in life!

16) Never agree to go to a country and western bar if it's not your choice in music. First of all you have to have a "giddy up" (I guess that means outfit). Then you put your thumbs in your belt loops and do the adult version of the "Hokey Pokey". They call it line dancing but it's really the Hokey Pokey!

17) You know your in trouble when their "Glamore Shot" doesn't look good.

18) I've never gotten a message from someone looking for sex or an intimate encounter. Huh, I'll have to think about that one.

19) Buy a tape measure!! Then you can reference how men think! I have a 31 inch waist and 32 inch inseam. Make a circle that is 31 inches and slide it up your legs from the floor. If it gets stuck at your hips, then you know about what size I am. I had to change my body type to "thin" because "average" wasn't working. It must be graded on a Bell Curve?

20) 14.5% of the male population is 6 feet tall. Only 3.5% of the male population is over 6'3". The average height of the male population is 5'9". I want to know what all you women under 5'6" are doing looking for a tall man. I've heard everything from I like to wear heels to it gives us more options!

21) I want him to be 6 ft tall, have a 6 figure income, love children, be romantic, a sense of humor, and live within 20 miles of my present location. Yeah right, click your heels Dorothy and wish!

22) 95% of the time you won't be interested in seeing that person a second time. The other 5% they will be run over by a city bus, joined a convent, or swear when you see them again months later that aliens (legal ones from outer space) abducted them and they couldn't call you.

23) What is an "activity partner?" Does that mean you want to invite my momma along to go to BINGO?

24) Never tell a woman she has a "man's butt" and expect a second date. I write this one for someone that I met and told me the story.

I guess the standard meet and greet would be OK. I hate to be conventional and would prefer a bike ride, baseball game (I have 4 favorite teams, Dbacks, Reds, and whoever is playing the Yankees or Red Sox), concert (no RAP, HIP HOP, or Opera) but realize that most folks aren't up for that. You like to play golf? Hey I love to trap shoot! Let's going to the driving range, get a bucket of balls, you hit em, and I'll see how many I can shoot out of the sky!
