I am a down to Earth, funny, optimistic but realistic, intelligent (without being nerdy) jeans and t-shirt guy. Friends and family are important to me, and I have alot of both. I enjoy dining out, cooking, music (I prefer to listen to punk/alternative, rockabilly, old school country, industrial, ska, etc. I enjoy seeing live bands in small venues. I like to travel, planes, trains, automobiles, motorcyles, boats, it doesn't matter to me, as long as I'm going somewhere. lol I have a thirst for knowledge. I'd much rather watch the Discovery, History or Learning channels than MTV. I try to read the newspaper everyday, I also like to read Weird New Jersey. I like to check out flea markets, antique shops, car shows, etc. I have 3 Harley-Davidsons, that I enjoy riding and traveling on. (28 states so far) I've been ridin for over 20 years. I also have an 1926 Ford Model T hot rod and a 33 Chevy Gasser that I like to work on and tool around in. Oh yeah, I don't have any drama in my life and I'm not looking to add any.
I am usually attracted to the creative, artsy type, the march to your own drummer kind of girl. I'm looking for someone with interests and traits similar to mine, but with her own interests and opinions as well. I'm always looking to expand my horizons. I realize nobody is perfect and I kind of like it that way. Perfect can be boring.
Tattoos and piercings earn extra points. That doesn't mean you lose points for not being tattooed or pierced. lol

First meeting and first date are two totally different things to me. For a first meeting, maybe drinks/coffee, or a movie, possibly grab a light bite to eat. For a first date, I think a more formal/romantic dinner would be appropriate.
