 About Me
 My username is a statement, not a question. I like folks on the smart side of average, but you don't need to be genius material.
A good partner is hard to find. Whether in life, love, business or anything else. You have to be real friends before you can be real partners. Otherwise, it's just a fool's game and it will fall apart down the road. That's why my profile says I'm looking for friends. If more develops later (meaning something past the 2nd or 3rd date), that's fine. Balance across all areas of a relationship is essential and that starts with being friends first and I'm not talking "the kind with benefits". If there's no underlying core relationship, then it's just meaningless sex which is a waste of time to me. A lot of people say those words, but I've seen few who actually mean it. I'm looking for something much more.

A lot of my time is divided among school, my business and my job (two entirely different areas), but mostly because there isn't someone special to spend it with otherwise. It's always nice to share time with others, especially that special someone.
I've noticed that if you can grow a good plant, you can probably grow a good relationship.

Likes: (See Interests, above) I can keep occupied. I don't have a lot of time to enjoy some of my most favorite likes for now.
Oh! Jeans and no make-up? Yes!!!

Turn-Offs:
- People who waste time arbitrarily flip-flopping positions on things. Time is a valuable commodity. Make a commitment, enjoy your decision.
- Speaking of commitments, people who ask me to make one, but won't do the same are usualy a turn-off.
- People who say they cherish honesty and integrity yet turn out to have very little of either.
- Piercings? Other than pierced ears, generally a turn-off, sorry.
- Tattoos? Not necessarily a turn-off, but I see few that I find tasteful...Nothing in particular - I know it when I see it.

Sports? I never could get used to the idea of paying to watch someone else have fun. Who came up with that idea anyway? I'd rather go out and do something myself!

Drinking? I may average a six-pack in a year, if that. Or one bottle of wine every 6 months and that may take me several months to do. Socially? It would have to be an extremely special occasion, even then. --That isn't me. Hope that gives you a better idea of my answer above. Frankly, I've spent way too much time (14 years) pulling broken people from wrecks or breaking up brawls involving alcohol to find it very enjoyable.

MISC:
- I live with a cat...a real sweetie. Just another heartbeat to share 'home' with.

- Politics: I think political views are important. The far fringes in any direction aren't usually happy with me, which probably means I'm in the much larger middle majority. That doesn't mean I always agree with them. :)

- Music/Movies: I like a good range of music, mostly soft rock, rock, light blues, contemporary. Not rap, not techno. I also like believable sci-fi, action/adventure, dramas, even some so-called "chick flicks".

- Private photo(s) available. Age shown is close, but not exact (lower). I just never post a real birthdate online.

- A few years back, I did some research to figure out who, and what attributes I am most with in a woman. It turns out only 2% come close. In my experience, that's just about right.

Profiles: I think writing is very important because it directly reflects what's usually rattling around in your head. It indicates the care with which you express yourself, the thought that you put into it, and while there may be exceptions to every rule...I have found that writing reflects the person within. So - I look for well-written profiles above all else.

My profile background picture reflects how I'm feeling today! :)

 First Date
  One of the better first dates I had was a long lunch - couple of hours, with lots of conversation, followed by about 3 hours of shopping. Yep! You can learn a lot about someone by going shopping with them...I mean stuff they probably couldn't even tell you about themselves.

But, I know people often feel the need to bail, so - whatever setting makes a person comfortable, where two people can talk is fine. A park, somewhere quiet for lunch or a snack, etc. I'm not much into drinking and I don't do bars. So, if you need more than one drink to get through a first meeting, I'd probably pass on it altogether. Just experience.
