I'm 33 and somewhat new to Charlotte. I moved here from Columbia less than a year ago and haven't met a lot of people, so I guess I'd try this and see what happens.

I was in the Marines for 10 years and just got out in '05. I still miss it sometimes. I am an avid college football fan especially for the South Carolina Gamecocks and Clemson Tigers (I went to both schools). I enjoy cooking, movies, golf, and softball. I also spend a good bit of time each week in the gym.

You may be interested to know that I auditioned for VH1's "The World Series of Pop Culture" this year. My team didn't make it. I'm still bitter, but we're going to try out next year too.

I'm looking for a Southern girl that enjoys grits and boiled peanuts, pearls, the beach, and Saturday football games in the Autumn. However, I believe in diversity too. Women from other regions of the US have their own special qualities too.

I am looking to date someone who has a great sense of humor, easy to get along with, and knows of who they are and what they want in life. I'm looking for someone who is very goal oriented and confident.
