OK, so I'm sitting here on the commode (multitasking!) trying to write something clever and witty and compelling, and frankly it's all ringing a bit hollow. So lets just be real. What's the worst that could happen?I'm John, some of my buddies call me "Pinky". (It's a long story..) I live downtown in a loft, but that's pretty much about all my life has in common with the average beer commercial. First and foremost I am a Dad, and a pretty good one. I was married to my best friend, an incredible woman who got cancer and died. I got remarried, briefly, and we are now happily divorced friends. I have two sons, the older (from my first marriage) lives with me, my little guy spends time with both parents. My kids are absolutely the light in my life, and the answer to every existential question of my youth. After way too many years in a corporate job I set out on my own about 10 years ago and now get to do what I'm passionate about. I love my "job". It's the primary thing I do "for fun", but aside from that I'm an artist and musician, I like working out, and am an excellent cook. I like the usual things that people like (kindness, good company, Sour Patch Kids, etc..) and dislike the things that most people dislike.. (most Chrysler products, sulfurous odors, sharp blows to the head, and so on..)It's sort of hard to describe one's own personality; it's all from a pretty biased perspective after all. But what I strive to be is decent, honest, compassionate and aware, and I value the same traits in others. I'd like to think that people who know me well would describe me as a good guy, although there may be a few dissenting voices out there. sh*tdoes happen. I'm ultimately looking for a relationship, and very much open to the idea but in no particular hurry to get into anything super serious or heavy. (Dating is kind of fun too!) My perfect partner would be my best friend, which sort of infers sharing similar values and interests, but aside from that I have very few specific criteria. Women of other ethnicities, philosophies or backgrounds are encouraged to reply. I have no particular preferences with regard to other's appearance; I am far more attracted to integrity, creativity and positivity than a highly polished facade. I rarely click with people who are exceedingly negative or cynical (skeptical is good, cynical gets tiresome..) and have little patience for prejudice or bigotry. So that's me. Who are you? Dinner, anecdotes, laughter, possibilities.

Howdy,This seems like a dubious task. If I knew how to sell myself, I probably wouldn't have ended up alone here on PlentyofFish at 2:00am on a Friday night.Going by their recommendations:Let's see hobbies... Yes please. I've had thousands and somehow have been lucky enough to make money doing more than a few of them. I spent most of my adult life as a professional juggler and until very recently was getting paid to write- which you'll probably find harder and harder to believe the longer you read this. I also make leather bracelets and bootstraps for people, sell yo-yos, eat fire, do sound effects for a radio show and play poker.Hobbies that I haven't figured out how to make money from (yet) include woodworking, rock climbing, gaming, camping, watching too much TV and riding my bicycle around the city- which is honestly one of my favorite things of them all to do.Goals and aspirations, honestly, and I know this sounds vague, I just want to be a distinctive and interesting character. If those that meet me and spend time with me, consider it time well spent, I'm pretty happy. I'd also like to leave a mark of some kind, as evidence of my passing through.In a more pragmatic sense, my goal at the moment is to meet someone I can maybe go see a movie with- they're so much better when you can discuss them afterwards over dessert somewhere.I think I'm going to skip right to the music question since I'm guessing you're getting a pretty good sense what I'm about, and maybe even what makes me unique, just by reading how I choose to answer these other questions.E.M., The Dead Milkmen and I have a real embarrassing weakness for singers and songwriters from the seventies (i.e.).TV shows I love include Firefly, Ninja Warrior, early Law & I'm looking more for a partner than someone to lead around, so I'd like to think I would cater the first date around what I believe you personally would like. If you haven't gathered yet, I don't really have much game, I haven't figured out the perfect date that I can use over and over for everyone just to get laid. I'm more the guy that would just enjoy exploring something new in the city, while getting to know an interesting and thought provoking women... and then getting laid (just kidding).***You know I just realized you can interpret this question two different ways, so in case I read it wrong initially and they're actually asking what "I'd do for a first date,".. I guess the answer is, I'd spend an evening swallowing my pride and filling out an online dating application, in the hopes that one special person kind of likes what she sees.

Ok, You gave me about 63 seconds to make you interested...Since you've probably spent 22 seconds looking at my pics, read fast. :-)Here's the nitty gritty.I like to ride.(I have a motorcycle and a couple jet skis)I have a daughter 20, a son 18.I like football.I like reading.I like to shoot pool.I don't mind staying at home watching a movie or hanging out by the pool.I like to get out of town for quick get aways. (either to cool down or to go and do something or see something.)There's more, but now a short list of what I'd like from someone:You need to know how to laugh, and you need to have a smile that likes to come out... A LOT!If you read that is good, but please just don't read over my shoulder. :-)They have to be willing to say 'ok, we're not staying home tonight, let's go out and do SOMETHING', sometimes.They have to be able to joke and take a joke... If i have food in my teeth, tell me. even laugh at me... but don't get defensive when i tell you the same thing.Most of the things I say that are funny, are dumb stuff that happened to me or something stupid I did... and I laugh about it... I need you to be able to do the same thing. (lol.. I don't mean you have to just laugh at me... you need to be able to laugh at yourself.)Ok, there's more...Thanks for looking. :-)
