To sum it up quickly: I'm a unique person, just like everyone else. Travel around a lot, mostly from Detroit to Chicago photographing concerts, comedians, and plays. I read for fun, chew with my mouth closed, and don't care for drama. Rarely drink and can hardly be called a smoker, two or less a day, but I am in smoky environments.
I'm skinny, so I'm attracted to skinny women who can hold a conversation, work with model types so looks don't phase me, no matter how attractive, no brains, no interest. Also, since I'm a photographer, must like photography and being photographed.

To look deeper: I travel light, and work alone. I'm sensitive to others feelings, I enjoy deep and meaningful conversations. I also understand the importance of listening. I'm honest as can be, because I have a lot on my mind and lies, like empty calories, are a waste of time and resources. I photograph concerts, mostly. As well as models, advertising, musicals, plays, behind the scenes on movies, and among just about everything else, except weddings. But, concerts are what I'm best known for. Please don't expect tickets to shows, no one appreciates being used and I'm no exception. Making art and taking photos gives my life some meaning. Have worked with around 900 bands of which you've probably never heard and a few that everyone knows. I spend a modest amount of my time driving to/from cities, which also may delay a written reply to you're message, please be patient. I'm in Kalamazoo mostly, then Chicago, Grand Rapids, and Detroit areas.

Surprisingly, I don’t look to meet women in bars, the music is too loud to hold a conversation, also, I don't hit on drunk girls, I'm not looking for a party girl. If I have to drive, I do not drink. I do smoke, but it's a dessert, only about 3 cigarettes a day if any at all, I try to keep it as non-invasive as possible.

I am seeking a sleek lady who is low maintenance, loves the arts, is comfortable with her body, enjoys being photographed, can speak in accents, looks to the bright side of life, and is not afraid to swear. Too pretty to play the blues. Just another unique person. Eyes that say "Please don't try to tame me", a body that whispers "Talk me out of these clothes", and a mouth that hardly ever says "I've got drama!" So, for what am I looking? Someone special, well, special to me. I’m picky. I know this because I’m still single. Someone who smokes a little, and rarely drinks, someone pleasing to the eye in a graceful and delicate way; someone who likes road trips or who can put up with my late hours; someone who does something; someone who feels that talking is better than watching sports; a lady who can hold a conversation after visiting an art gallery. Someone smart enough to realize that the fairytale is just that, a fairytale. These are not set in stone, if just some of these describe you, or if my writing brought a smile to your face, let me know.

To put it country simple, I’m tall and slim, and so I’m attracted to women with a similar build. Tall is not as important as thin. One would assume that because I'm in the music business I'm a fan of tattoos and piercings, well I'm not, but they're not deal-breakers. I'm not a fan of large breasts, they are a turn off for me. In fact, I feel that the smaller the better. So, I'm one of those rare men who can and does make eye contact when chatting. A knowledgeable brain is an undeniable turn on, as are nice legs. That sums up my mental and physical desires. The philosophical is another story, one which should involve many hours, perhaps even days, of open and honest conversation.

P.S. An important thing about me is my diet, I'm deathly allergic to all nuts and all seafood. That's why I'm 130 lbs. I don't enjoy eating. The wrong food can have serious consequences. If you have the same allergies, that is a big plus, but I've yet to meet someone who does. That is why I don't want to produce any children. A 1/4 chance of passing it on genetically, and it's one of many reasons in why I'm an atheist. If we're instant messaging, this is the part where most people rudely close the window (thank you if you're still reading this). Never knew religious persecution until I walked away from my faith. I'm being as honest and as forthcoming as I can, for honesty is a time saver. Somewhere in the world wide web there is a twiggy, pale, intellectual-type who enjoys to travel and can tolerate my random schedule and has a desire to hear new music.

Get Mad Baby, it's a saying in music, much like Go Cat Go, or Take Me Home Daddy. It relates to my work, you can ask me more about it.

Coffee and conversation is nice. Live music is better than a movie, but I still like to sit and chat a bit. Just call me old fashioned, but I like going for walks. Not at all into sports so you'll never ever hear me say "Let's go to the game and cheer for the local area sports team" or "I'd rather watch the game on television than do something special with you." Honestly, I'd rather do anything else than watch grown men chase after a ball. Which, brings us back to a cafe to be able to talk and laugh.

An open and honest conversation (it's always wonderful to hear someone say "the book was better"). The kind of conversation where you feel somewhat lightheaded after, with many shared interests and enough differences which could lead to other conversations, as time goes by. Not all talking need be deep conversation though, just saying that talking is important. A good fun chat, some decent jokes, stories from days gone by, and obscure information on useless subjects. One last thing, if you message me use my name, Matt, in the title somehow; lets me know you put forth the effort to read my words.

Must not be looking for Intimate Encounter
