I am a nice guy, not too bad looking (But I have no illusion that I am a model either). I probably have about 5 extra pounds on me that I'd like to get rid of and I'm working on it. I like listening to the Beatles, I like reading (It seems this years has been mainly Garrison Keillor and Jasper Fforde for some reason), and I enjoy taking walks around my neighborhood.

I'm pretty left leaning in my politics, but in all honesty politics don't enter into my criteria of judging others. I enjoy watching movies although I haven't seen a really good one in the theaters in a few years - I blame Hollywood for that. And I'm mainly looking for a steady dating partner that would like to maybe go out and see a movie or go for a drink right now.

Also, I am just off my third month with the Wii Fit and am ready to show off myself - I succeeded in losing 25 pounds so far with the workouts it provides and I feel great! I still wouldn't call myself a Brad Pitt, but I am even farther away from the Elephant man look than before... In other words, I finally sort of like how I look and can live with it.

Right now, I'm looking for a friend first - with the option to move beyond that if we really hit it off... I'm kind of old-fashioned in that I don't immediately go to bed with every woman I date. I have to enjoy your company before that happens - so what I'm saying is that I am not into one night stands. Generally, I end up being friends with people even if sometimes they don't go beyond that. What I am saying is that I am not a pervert and you have nothing to lose - at the very worst you will gain a friend in me.

We'd go out to a coffee shop. We'd talk about things - maybe books, movies, friends. Maybe see a movie or just sit and watch the people.
