Hopefully, you are smart, independent, and secure - big turn on that is. Ideally you are tough and perhaps a little rough around the edges. I don't want to feel like I might break you or something. You should like spontaneity and random adventures - no matter how they present themselves. If you like football, wings, pizza, Italian, chips, salsa, my hamburgers from the grill, and my un-original chili then you will earn some brownie points. De Niro, Nicholson, Pacino, and Hackman should be high on your list of stud actors.

You should like to be touched, kissed, and held. You should fancy loud thunder and wicked lightening, gasoline wasting Saturday afternoon drives to nowhere in particular, local festivals, and the county/statefair. I'm certainly not a prude and although I will say that panties pulled to the side is about three times as hot as panties on the floor, -- bumping uglies is not my preferred way to start a meaningful relationship.

Did I say anything about you being smart, independent, and secure? Anyway, those things really trip my trigger.

I don't have washboard abs and I'm occasionally lazy - and umm, oh yeah, forgetful. I hated english/language/grammar classes so, I,don't, always, know, where, the, commas, should, go,. I'm a Navy vet. I have a big mouth and a rebellious streak that can get me in trouble from time to time. I work in telecommunications so I can be dorky sometimes.

I'm a man - I have hair on arms, legs, and chest. My goatee is a potpourri of colors these days including brown, red, black, blond, and gray. It blends nice though! Also, I eat meat - beef, chicken, and fish. I do occasionally feel bad about that though. I don't drink/drug/smoke anymore and hopefully you don't either. I dig children and you should be ok with me having 3 of my own. Children come first, if you have kids that's fine. A normal day with the kids probably includes the zoo or the children's museum. A flipping awesome day with the kids includes the zoo/museum and DVDs, pizza, and video games.

Challenging society's ill perceived norms is one of my addictions. I am committed to my job - not because it should come first but because it plays a significantly positive role in our quality of life. The minute it stops contributing and begins taking away from our quality of life is when change is in order. Before I die, I'd like to spend meaningful time in Maine, Oregon, and Austin Texas. I'd like to visit a few specific foreign cities like Moscow, Shanghai, London, and Hong Kong. When it comes to having fun, if water is involved then I will like it- guaranteed. But I'm really just ok with an afternoon that involves you and I lounging in the backyard while the kids are playing. My favorite season is fall. I dig the leaves and the crisp air. I crave spontaneity and dread monotony. I’ve been known to vacation in Tampa in August and Michigan in January… strange, I know. I hate asking for directions and I get ticked off at knuckleheads. Sometimes I just need 10 minutes to calm down - whew.

I have a great disdain for clutter but having said that I still keep too much crap around the house. Wall to wall stuff and knickknacks drives me insane. Decoration in moderation I say - and you? I wear boxer briefs because I hate tighty whities and I need to feel snug. I'm not a fan of camping or roughing it - can you teach me to like it? Civilization has evolved - I sleep with air conditioning and heat - not bugs and rain. Although frolicking in the rain does sound nice.

If I don't have butterflies in my stomach on our first meeting then something is wrong. A first meeting should not involve a movie or a play or anything that prevents us from talking and learning about each other. But after a meeting or two then perahps we could graduate to a 'date'.

A date might start around noon with a quick lunch at Yats and a visit to the Eiteljorg or the IMA. The museums provide a great backdrop for learning about someone and it's kind of intimate in a way. Strange I know. I'd love to hear about your ideas for a first date - I'm comfortable with both following and leading.
