Here's the good, the bad and the ugly;
If you can get past the following diatribe and the brutal first impression we may have a chance. I'm super sweet, considerate,genuine and authentic. I'll incessantly correct your grammar unless you're from a foreign country and have a sexy accent and will probably make fun of your taste in music. Don't even think of challenging me to a game of Scrabble - tiles will fly. I'm a little ADHD , so I get bored easily and it takes a lot to keep my attention. I tend to say things without thinking (internal dialogue was not hard wired in my brain at birth), so if you're hypersensitive, or for that matter would use hyper or hypo as any prefix to describe yourself, I may not be for you. I swear more than I should, and I won't apologize for it. On the flip side, I'm loyal to a fault and go out of my way to do the right thing. I hold doors open for people and smile at strangers. I love to laugh, and if it's at your expense, I'll generally apologize afterward...even if you deserved it. When I'm kind, you can guarantee it's genuine. I have been know to follow people into a dark alley not because they asked me to; but because I believe it's the right thing to do.

I like Patron and play pool, proficient at all Country Club Sports, I own guns, hunt (birds only...and not metaphorically speaking...) fish, love Yellowstone and Jackson and the all outdoors, climbing vertical rock and sleeping under the stars. Boats and water?...don't get me started...sail variety only; I'm not old enough for a Grand Banks quite yet. If your hangouts have a dress code or have friends that have arrogance in their vocal tonality or are rude to waiters, cabbies or the concierge and leave a 10% tip; count me out or find some new friends. I can spend hours at Antique stores, or walking around Half-Price books. I'd prefer to go to the Angelika than to that shitty action film du jour, and my radio is almost always on NPR. I'll drink coffee any time of the day and if it's been a rough day happy hour may start at noon because I left the asylum early. You won't catch me wearing an American Eagle Tee-shirt or anything made by Ed Hardy. A mild dose of Prada; shoes and sunglasses only. You'll never catch me in a Speedo but if the need should arise I can assure you I will never be underdressed or lack the polish required for any social setting, and will be turned out top-drawer and engaging.

I want to feel about and have the depth in relationship with that special person like Michael Buble' alludes to in his song "everything" if you don't have the album; stop now and put this in your browser....then continue; it's great food for thought...

It will put a smile on your face at the very possibility of such a relationship; unless you're non-respiratory and non-responsive.

I love Malbec and Reds, love to cook and am d*mn good at it and if you don't know the difference between Grav Lox and a Petit Mal then Central Market won't be a fun trip to take you on. Ordering Coffee should be simple and NEVER contain the word "skinny" nor should you require the Barista to make an acorn or leaf design in your crema or ask for something "flavored"; it's Coffee for cripes sake!!!!

So, what am I looking for? listen to this, it's my frame of mind; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AJmKkU5POA
A LTR would be nice; I'm not looking for a booty call. I work a lot, travel a bit and I'm a single Dad, but I'm not here trolling for replacement mommies. In fact, you'll probably never meet the brightest cutest 6 year old on the planet. My time is limited and precious, I want to spend it with people of quality.

Having said that, if you live with your mom and donate plasma for gas money, or have more emotional and old relationship baggage than a baggage claim area at a third world airport, then our interaction probably won't be one of any tenure. I'm fit vital and love life and hate drama; if you bring any of those issues "it's on in Compton" and I'll pull over and gently open the door.

If you have a "Real Women Love Jesus" bumper sticker on your car, please exit my ad right now, as I am a believer and think that's right up there with the fish logo on the back of your car which is very tacky. I want someone who knows how to correctly use an adverb and is gainfully employed, successful, self assured and confident. Yes, I am a visual and tactile person so if you need dim lights or put on makeup with a trowel like my Grandma used to say "if the barn needs paintin' paint it..." there's a good chance I won't be diggin in your potato salad. But I promise you I'm more fun than you could spend in a week! Did I mention I hate liars, and cheaters and mean people that are self absorbed? I know "normal" is the setting on a dryer...let's try normal and see how that goes..? It may not always be easy but it will be worth it..

Reading is a plus. I'm not talking about something you pick up while waiting in line at Kroger. Look; everyone knows that Brad and Jennifer are still married and were beamed down from the Mother Ship to pollute the Gene Pool. Angelina is just a front to throw us off the Alien track DUH....... Comon' you don't need to pay for that kind of information, it should be a widely held piece of common knowledge. There will be the occasional quiz on current events over Coffee (black) and an occasional Danish (I like mine Blonde...)Taking a sincere interest in the world in which we live is a plus. Again I have acuity for the visual and tactile; don't want the model type just inviting, warm and healthy; comfortable in their own skin and looking good in it. Beauty transcends the physical. Well groomed and no haute' couture countessa's (did I spell that right? could have used 4 letters) Look your not Audrey Hepburn; if you were, I would keep you in Ermine and Pearls, we would have an open account at Tiffany's and cater to your every consumptive, elitist, entitlement whim. I can't keep a secret; I'm not George Peppard. Be yourself and have your own sense of style and grace. Retail therapy is just a BandAid for a Mortal Wound.

I don't want to be your travel planner either so if your not spontaneous and capable of generating original thoughts and ideas and have the courage to act on them, your standing in the road taking up too much space. Oh, did I mention I'm not your Daddy? So have your chit together and wear your big girl pants, stragglers will be left behind. If you have a Tee-shirt that says high maintenance the good news is your not in denial you just are. No matter how "promising" you appear to be I'm not interested in taking on a Pygmalion project for the next decade. I want an equal who will challenge me, hold hands, share intamacy on a deeper level and wants to kiss me "just because she can".

hummmmmmmmmmmmm......?
So many choices; so little time.....
The great thing about the future; it only comes one day at a time....
"Love is friendship on fire.." I love that quote....
Also, I would gladly exchange a pound of beauty for an ounce of loyalty..If you roll dirty; you are dirty...
I will not pull out a Black Amex. No need to look...,My pleasure to treat..please.. NO DUTCH...

By the way; I would like to find someone I can communicate with; cuz when ya can't fish, hunt, hike, take killer island vacations and "do it like they do on the discovery channel", and hate the thought of sleepin' in the same bed together or have the inkling to cheat with the pool-boy.......effective communication will become important.
