Since I'm close to throwing in the towel on the entire online dating thing...I'm giving it one last ditch attempt before doing so. Forever the optimist, I guess. I'm not sure if anyone is reading my profile at all - so to clarify, please DO NOT contact me if you can describe yourself as any of the following:

1. Lie about your age - that's dishonest.
2. Uneducated.
3. Pictured in a wife-beater
4. Living in a mobile home (unless you've suffered through a hurricane or are tailgating).
5. Married or in a relationship.
6. Fresh out of a relationship.
7. Multiple, visible tattoos.
8. A Non-Professional
9. Heavy drinker
10. Drug user
11. Dress and groom yourself as if you're still living in a past decade
12. Medium or Long hair (I prefer the clean cut look - military style or close)
13. Have one foot out of the closet or in touch with your "feminine" side.
14. Interested in being pen pals and emailing endlessly
15. Extreme body builder
16. Missing teeth
17. Not sure what you want yet, are confused or looking for multiple partners.
18. Anger issues.
19. Provide limited photos with pictures of yourself in sunglasses and a hat from 30 yards away.
20. Posted old photos.

I know I'm not looking for too much here - just a regular guy that I'm attracted to. Maybe it's a Florida thing? I don't know...but I'm looking for someone my age or a few years younger who isn't ready to just stare into the sunset. I find that's so prevalent here. Why? I have no idea.

Please tell me you're out there somewhere and contact me. Thank you. :)

What kind of a man makes my heart skip a beat?

A Great Man.

So what is a Great Man - to me?

Professional, intelligent (very) educated and literate, witty, humorous, attractive (to me), fun, risk taker (playtime is important!), willing to do whatever is necessary for those he loves, passionate and dedicated, trustworthy and loyal with a large dose of honesty.

Basically, a smart, attractive, educated and professional guy who can make me laugh - is spontaneous and loves to do things on the fly. Works hard, loves adventure and is loyal and loving with his friends and family and honest to a fault. Isn't afraid to stand with me - or up to me. Won't run when emotions run high - in the heat of an argument or in the heat of a budding relationship. He understands the value of seduction and romance and so do I.

Add a large dose of chemistry and stir...

There you have it - My Great Man.
