About Me

First off, religion: I listed "other" because I'm an atheist, or more specifically, and anti-theist. Had to get it out right away, because it's likely a deal-breaker for most, and it's best to not waste each other's time, yes?On to more fun: if your message contains fewer than 5 words, you will not get a reply. You can be a 6'0", ***lb, brunette down to your ass, with blue eyes, a ***IQ, and an abject non-belief in any god, with a penchant for giving oral, and receiving it, too, and you are a fan of total body depilation, and I won't reply. Okay, if you meet all those criteria, I will likely offer you a ring. Still, please say something.Some parts of this are intentionally cryptic. Have fun. No, really.I promise, in this paragraph, I am doing my best to sound arrogant. I also promise that I'm not arrogant--I just know who I am and what I want. But here goes: If'n UR ok with the three words before the word "with," in this sentence, please stop reading. If you claim to have a graduate degree, and can't properly use commas, please stop reading. If you believe missing body parts (and that includes teeth), because of addiction, is okay, please stop reading. If you think morality comes from any source other than from within, please stop reading. If you think size 22 is "average," please, for the love of all that is sacred, stop reading. P1$$ off.) Now that I have alienated and eliminated most of the dating pool where I live (and it really doesn't matter what my ZIP code is), let's continue.Yes, I'm educated and intelligent. It gets me in trouble sometimes. Okay, fine, usually. I think I am a cool guy in a geek’s body, or a geek in a cool guy’s personality, or a geek in a geek’s body, I just don’t know. I do know that true geeks are tedious to me (they take way too much energy to deal with). I know that 'cool' people bore me to tears. I'm looking for an educated, intelligent (spelled: Q-U-I-C-K--W-I-T-T-E-D) person to spend my life with.But the shallow kid in me says: "Neat-o, but she has to be attractive, too." Please understand I know this works both ways. And I am not, by any means, perfect. So, if you happen, by some miracle, to be attracted to mind/romance/wit/love/humor/intellect over Brad Pitt, I am SO your guy. I can give you Ben Stiller + a foot or so and a few pounds. Smile, check. All the other? Check. A REALLY tall Jack Black? *sigh* Check, but thinner and with a WAY hotter voice (I think, and have heard many times). I know we both want it all, though, so...(Here’s where I get depressed) I know I probably won’t find her/you. I know exactly whom I’m looking for. So do you. The consummate bitch is that there’s something about you which doesn’t completely align with my expectations or aspirations, just as there is something about me which doesn’t align with what you’re looking for, and I'm cool with it if you are. But it comes down to us either "settling," or the other version of this, which is, "It’s better to be alone than in a wrong relationship." But does it have to?Somehow, we’ve become embroiled in extremes. When we were in our 20s, we only saw the positives. We looked at the great qualities in our partner and looked past the negatives, sometimes (too often?) to our personal detriment, which brings us to where we are now. We might see a quality, or a flaw which reminds us of a previous lover, and we freak out. We don’t show this, of course, but we are going ballistic on the inside. We are ending it before it begins, simply because he ordered the same brand of gin as ..., or because she wore the same perfume as ..., or pick one of a really long list of meaningless minutiae.After all this, I’m wondering if there is one out there who will read this and feel a hint of a glimpse of a twitch and say to herself, "I think I know this guy, or at least I really want to."I’ve been waiting a long time for you. A couple more weeks/months/years won’t make that much difference. But please hurry.***UPDATE***Just because I'm on this site does NOT mean I'm desperate for a date. I meet a lot of people in my normal routine. I'm here because it offers a way to weed out most of those I'd find unattractive or incompatible, and without confrontation. That said, I'm getting an awful lot of *** who have clearly not read or understood my profile. So I'll state it plainly: I am a shallow atheist. If you "love the Lord with all your heart," you're most likely not for me, even though I really don't care what you believe. The problem is that you'll "feel sorry for me" for my unbelief. Or something worse. And I have a problem with that. I can emulate Yeshua without being a Christian. If you get this, at all, we should talk. Because it means you may have actually read your book.In a similar vein, if you don't know the difference between "your" and "you're," you're definitely not for me. If you don't read books, please skip to the next guy. Everyone seems to want "a great man," or to demand "total honesty." I hate to say it, but duh. Seriously, who's going to write, "FSM seeks abusive liar with meth addiction and a tendency to sleep with goats or other cheap tramps"? Okay, rant over. I lied. (Still ranting. See what I did there?)Please, please, if you do decide to message me (and I really hope you do), please say more than "hi." I promise, it's worth taking a few extra minutes to at least acknowledge something in the text.Wishing you all the best of everything,M~P.S. (written a few days after the update): Looks like I hit a nerve with a few. I've been called "arrogant," "conceited," and (I love this one) "full of myself" (as though I were a suicidal cannibal or something). So, if you're offended, I apologize. But let it go. There's no sense bringing more strife into the world, and I'll only delete the ***, so really, what's the point of telling me something I already know? It's like an old bit from the legendary Bill Hicks: "A guy walks up to me--total stranger--and says, 'Hey, buddy, you know it takes more energy to frown than it does to smile?' So I look at the guy and say, 'Yeah, you know it takes more energy to point that out than to leave me alone?'" P.P.S. Thanks for playing ;-)P.P.P.S. A few disclaimers are in order. 1) I said I'd date smokers. Well, kinda. Not gonna lie, cigarette smoke is friggin' disgusting. So, on occasion, or when drinking? Okay (I love a good cigar on occasion). But if you're going through a lighter a day? We have an The perfect date, for me at least, involves a quiet place, where we can talk, make epic eye contact, and maybe hold hands. The date ends with a warm hug, and (hopefully) our last first kiss.

    The world is full of unknowns and everyone has the ability to teach us something. I'm open, honest, positive and very patient (I have 3 daughters!). I work Monday through Friday and am usually home by six or so. I love to bike ride and spend time outdoors. I'm not a health nut - but sometimes I think I would like to be... I like to read books, watch TV, take walks and relax with friends and family. Travel and going to different places, sometimes off the beaten trail is great fun. I love museums and any sort of History related places. I like music – generally rock, county – top 40. My children are grown and starting their own adult lives. I would really like to broaden my horizons. Life is good and I would like to meet someone to spend time with and learn from. I like movies and popcorn!Ask me a question. Let's start a conversation... Dinner and a movie?A walk?Lunch?Any suggestions from you?

    I am seeking a happy and fun fish. If I am right for you do not let me just swim on by. Where am I from? I am a clean fish and wish to swim with the same. This fish is not afraid of rough waters just would rather ride out the storm in smooth waters with my best friend fish. I am not seeking to spawn with the entire school.If you wish to hook this fish use the proper bait:Start with small portionsDo not feed things that cause heartburnAvoid bait with high dramaHonest and goodness bait wellDo not feed more than one fish at a timeBait that causes a visit to the Dr. fish is no goodNow please drop your hook and give a little jerk if you feel a nibble.Okay all kidding aside, I am seeking a real relationship with a woman that has a good soul. Chemistry and an excellent sense of humor is very important to me. A side note: I love to travel and explore. A casual swim around the shallow part of the reef saving the deeper part of the reef for future dates.

    Man. 48 years old. Zodiac sign: Libra.

    I am a comedian, nerd, debater, athlete, musician,counselor, traveler, camper, dad, comforter, massage therapist, lover of water, beaches, mountains and forests, I love to play harmonica and guitar (old time rock and blues are my favorite) and am learning saxophone. I love my God(without being religious), my kids and my very blessed life. I would love to meet cool people for dating first who know that friends last much longer than most dramatic relationships. I'm here to meet someone who I can have some fun now that my broken heart has had time to heal. Divorce is a lot like a death...(it's just that the body lives nearby and texts you about the kids once in a while ;). Perhaps we can continue the healing together through laughter, song and .....hmmmm... whatever we come up with together. Aren't sunsets and bike rides more fun with someone to laugh with, talk with, and sometimes just enjoy the silent beauty of a forest path...?I would love to eventually find a woman that I would connect with intellectually, spiritually and physically...then I would definitely want a long term relationship but I really want to develop a friendship first so there is no pressure to meet some weird timeline... If more happens, great... it was meant to be...if not, I probably met a very cool woman who will always hold a special place in my heart.Some of the women's profiles are pretty funny.. oh, that's right, you probably don't know that because you are here looking at guy's profiles.. Well, here's the reader's digest version... 80% of the profiles have more pictures of their dog than the woman... Then there's the girl with the huge fake boobs who's first line was, "Looking for something real" lol...Then there's the others who scream, "Not into games or drama" which usually means they have been hurt bad and they're not as over it as they thought. I am the opposite of a "serial" dater as one woman assumed I was because I originally had "want to date but nothing serious".. Yikes, was she mean. Screamed an *** me for just complimenting her on her cute dog.I just changed it to "relationship" because ultimately, that's what I would love. It's just that I want to meet a woman who wants to have a relationship but doesn't have a desperate need for a relationship. I am looking for an intelligent, adventurous, witty person who will turn me on with her mind and soul as well as her physical appearance. I haven't really dated much since the divorce and this dating online stuff is pretty weird sometime.. I think I have a tendency to scare women off with my open book personality. I think there are a lot of people so guarded, that they get very uncomfortable with someone who is confident enough to fearlessly share not only their playfulness, but also their depth. One lady on here *** and asked, "so, what brings you to POF?". She probably expected the cliche response like..."Uh, to find my soulmate.. (which I think is code for "I wanna get laid" lol)"Instead, because it was after midnight when I answered, I got pretty philosophical and answered with the following:What brings me to POF?Hmm.. that's a tough one... Easy answer is... it's free... *:)) laughingLong answer is,,,, I lost some of me with the marriage and divorce because sometimes you try so hard to please the one that you made a real commitment to, that when they are not liking the real you, you try to be the person they want you to be,...and you stop being you...Now that I'm single again, I want to meet kind-hearted people who might actually think I'm ok as I am... I have a lot of love and I'm not the type that needs or wants to be alone.. Since my son is in college and my 16 year old daughter is .... well.... 16 , I have time to actually think about my own happiness...I like sunsets better when I'm laughing with a sweet companion.. I miss the excitement and nervousness of that first kiss....That amazing feeling of having someone feeling safe enough to fall asleep in my arms.....So, I'm fishing.... Worst case scenario, I meet some cool people who end up being my friends... Go to movies, watch the shooting stars..grab some ice cream and make each other laugh.... best case.... ...I find the one that loves me for me but inspires me to be a better me and I do the same....My pastor's wife once told me something that really touched me... "What if God designed marriage not to make us happy, but to make us Holy?" Quite a different way of looking at it than the world views relationships.. the "what's in it for me" crowd can't begin to understand true giving...What if the man totally stopped focusing on what he "needs" and felt that it was his purpose, his calling to give his wife what she needs, (not always what she wants), but what she really needs, what she needs to feel attractive, loved, respected, honored.... what she needs in order to grow into the woman God intended....And..... what if the man didn't have to ever think about himself because she considered it her passion, her purpose to do the same for him... respect him, honor him, make him feel like a knight in shining armor, have him overhear her bragging to her friends how lucky and blessed she is to have him...How ironic... stop thinking about your needs and your needs get met... focus on the other and if they both do that.... they are both fulfilled.... Agape love.....sacrificial love.... Oneness....I still believe it's real.... Even after some serious heartbreaks.... I still think that was the original plan...And so... it's time to get back the hopeful, optimistic, childlike innocent, make everyone laugh in the room, drop everything to help a friend,... guy that I was and still am...And maybe, if it's His will, meet the one that was meant to travel this road with me...Hope I didn't scare you with the long answer..Well, it must have... never heard from her again... sigh...So, I guess I'm looking for a woman who wouldn't be freaked out if they got a response from a guy like above.So, are you out there? A well read, funny, joyful, thankful, educated, professional woman-child who is so young at heart, her attitude makes her chronological age meaningless? Would you sing with me as I play guitar and harmonica? Or play along with whatever you play, (even if it's just humming). Would you watch the sunset on a beach with me and actually think it's cool to stay long enough to watch the space station fly over? Do you have the heart of a child so that watching a baby deer in my backyard makes your heart flutter? Would you stay up late at night with me and watch the fireflies light up the trees like it's Christmas and think that was one of the best dates you ever had? Would you bike with me, walk with me, maybe scuba with m I'm open to so many different things. A bike ride in a nearby park, a cookout on a deserted beach and watch the sun set and the stars come out, an elegant dinner with some red wine and laughter.... and if we connect, I can give you one of my world famous massages and I can feed you chocolate covered strawberries, and watch a smile come to your lips..;-) ok, that may have to wait for the 5th date..lol(something to look forward to?)
