Time to lay the cards on the table, they say honesty is the best policy so here it is, my personal list. Feel free to tell me if Im out of line on any of this.
BTW- if you read this and take it too seriously, then you probably dont have the sense of humour im looking for :-)

"If you always do what youve always done, you'll always get what youve always got"

so here we go.....

I have

- a good job
- a Jeep, certain women find that appealing for some reason, and i like
those types.....for some reason
- nice place to live (no neon beer signs or posters of bikini babes)but a
singing Billy Bass in the bathroom just for the sheer tackiness
-morals
-values
-a great and sometimes twisted sense of humour
-great friends and family
-a life (no you cant have it)

I dont have

-a criminal record
-skeletons in my closet
-psycho ex's that show up unannounced
-exotic foreign or domestic diseases

I wont

-pay your hydro, phone, cable, rent or out standing debts to
credit cards, immigration "consultants", drug dealers or pimps. But will
happily pick up the tab for dinner and drinks.
-help you move (this goes for siblings, parents, aunts, uncles,
friends and neighbors as well, but i will help ya get settled after)
-follow you around or show up on girls night out
-make plans three months in advance, come on be spontanious
-under any circumstances enter a Chuck E Cheese or Toys R Us
-expect or make 34 phone calls a day
-hang out with your creepy cousin because he has no friends
-play the bad boy part. im a nice guy, you want drama, move along.
-expect you to go to Princess Auto with me (if you dont know what this is,
just trust me when i say you probably wouldnt want to go, its a
total testosterone fueled guy thing. Any woman I know cringes at
the mere mention of it)


I will

-buy you little gifts for no particular reason
-try to be on time (try- no promises)
-cook for you (i can cook but for some reason i mess up jell-o and microwave
popcorn)
-do and/or repair carpentry, electrical, plumbing and car repairs as long
as youre willing to get in there, get your hands dirty and learn something
in the process. And in turn teach me whatever skills you posess.
-expect and encourage girls night out with your friends, ditto for me
-give you an honest answer if you ask how you look in that dress, pants,
blouse, bathing suit etc, just dont ask if you dont really want to know.
-visit your sister and her undisciplined children only if absolutley
neccessary.
(family visits are completley optional on both sides)
-give you a back rub, draw you a bath and bring you a glass of wine while you
soak after a hard day
-always admit when im wrong, and have no problem saying im sorry.

I expect

-nothing i wouldnt give in return
-understanding and respect, im a guy, i do guy things, get over it.
-the unexpected
-you to have bad days, we all get them.
-you to have more good ones than bad
-not to have to pick you up off the floor of the pub stoned drunk
with your skirt over your head (this goes for bushes, sidewalks,
elevators, cabs,parking lots and police cruisers as well)
-you to keep your clothes on in the pub, flashing your goods and dirty
dancing with inanimate objects isnt very classy, have fun but have some
respect for yourself and your date.
-you to have a means of supporting yourself (welfare/stay at home
mom/homemaker/psw/living off your ex etc. are not jobs!

temporarily laid off doesnt count, theres a lot of that these
days, lazy people who choose not to work is what irks me.
-you to enjoy being on the water, i spend my summer weekends
on Lake Simcoe and would like to have someone around that doesnt
spend the day puking overboard lol

I reserve the right to add to or delete from this list at will.

You???? Hopefully alot like me but much cuter and with more hair.

Fave movies- Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, JFK, The Hunt for Red October
Batman Begins, The Dark Knight
Theres 2 others that make my list that I would never admit to in a
public forum due to them being in the "total chick flick" category lol,
ask me, maybe Ill tell you what they are.

If they ever do another one of those "We are the World" type things, and ask me who to include in the lineup these would be my choices- Elton John, Billy Joel, Sarah McLachlan, Sara Evans, AC/DC, Toby Keith, Meatloaf, Nickleback, Barry Manilow, Ozzy,
Blue Rodeo, Kim Mitchell, Jann Arden, Burton Cummings, Tina Turner, Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Bon Jovi, ZZ Top, Colby Calais, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, .38 Special, Bob Seger, celine dion (yeah i like her, get over it), neil diamond,gordon lightfoot, Natalie Imbruglia .....to be continued....


- I rarely make first contact as there seems to be a lot of angry, bitter people
on here. If youre not here to meet, socialize and have fun..whats the point?

- your overdone cleavage and Glamour shots dont impress me, save it for the
"intimate encounters" guys, but pics with faded Levis, t-shirt and pony tail
through the back of the ball cap are more than welcome.

-i like arrogant people....with fava beans and a nice chianti.

- bunny boilers need not apply thanks (if you are not familier with this
term, Google it)

-tats and piercings in moderation, if your body looks like a billboard or a
hardware store, not interested. just my pref.

Question- Recently, after reading through the 1000 conditions (must have this, must be that, blah blah blah) on a womans profile, i got to the last one which stated that to contact her you must be able to spell. So i took the liberty of sending her a message pointing out the spelling errors in her profile, was this wrong? she thought so..BLOCKED lol

I believe it would actually be a low key, simple "first meeting" followed by a "first date" if we hit it off. Whatever the night or day brings its shouldnt feel like a job interview (thats the most effective way to spot a serial dater). When you click with someone, conversation and laughter flow naturally.
For you ladies who are into the whole home improvement thing (and ive noticed theres a lot, good for you!) we can even wander the local Home Depot and drool over power tools and test each others knowledge on local building codes.
Absolutley no long walks on the beach, it would be too crowded with all the other POF people, seems its a pretty popular activity.
