About Me
I am: bright, funny, flawed, a wise ass, genuine, calm(usually), opinionated, employed, sweet, considerate, jaded.You are: A nice combo of some of the things above and compatible with some of the things below.Music is seriously important to me. Listening, playing, watching, etc. I've always liked music that sort of has to be 'looked for' rather than what is readily available; I definitely lean towards the unconventional/unusual.-stop. Rap and country don't exist in my world(I have a profound contempt for country music) and I'm not much of a fan of what you'd typically hear on the radio. I also play guitar and can play/figure out anything with strings. I can play lots of other stuff half-assed too. You don't have to like the same music I like, but I certainly do appreciate someone that has conviction about what they like. I'd LOVE it if you're substantially deeper than 'I like anything with a good beat that I can dance to' and can back it up. I'm not co-dependent. Relationships to me are about desire, not necessity. I have no desire to suck the life out of some trophy girl to make me feel better about myself. I'd just like to find someone that complements me and enrichens my life, and I'd like to do the same for her. Seems so easy, yet it's incredibly hard...I like to read, and I'll probably read through any book/magazine/newspaper that's laying around unless it's stupid. I don't smoke. Never have. Nope, not even once. Are you ***friendly? I'm not. You'll have to hotbox with someone else. Both smoking and drugs repulse me. I'm allergic to cats, but I've given in to the fact that so many women have cats that I'll do my best to adapt if I have to. That being said, I'm a dog person. I like road trips even if the sole purpose is the road trip.I like photography. I've progressed to where I can take great photographs *** poor *** to cook. I'm certainly not the next Iron Chef, but I do just fine. I'm very grateful if you cook for me, but it's unnecessary. I'd probably rather cook for you most times. I think 'foodies' are the epitome of pretentious. Well, not all of them; just the types that would ruin good fun by demanding pretentious food at inopportune times. If we're on the road, just shut up and eat that hot dog from the gas station. I'll treat you to that hipster sidewalk bistro or gastropub another day and I'll enjoy it every bit as much as you. Forcing me to play cards or gamble would serve you well if your ambition is to torture me.I'm often utterly charmed by little 'somethings' that a girl might do for me that are insignificant to her. They stick with me and serve as reminders as to why a girl makes me happy. I'm true-blue/loyal to a fault, and fault be damned. If I care about you, I will help you & lend my support. Always. Anywhere, anytime. For life. I place a high value on reliability/consistency/dependability in relationships. Flaky, inconsistent, unreliable people annoy me supremely because I can't imagine being flaky, inconsistent or unreliable to someone I care about. What annoys me even more is how some folks cannot understand how frustrating their flaky/inconsistent/unreliable tendencies can be to others. Sports: COMPLETELY UNINTERESTED in football and basketball. I like baseball and hockey, but really only if I'm sitting in the stands. I'm a Formula 1 racing enthusiast, and I've watched F1 since I was 2 feet tall. I'll also catch a few other races from time to time, but I'm ABSOLUTELY NOT a nascar fan; when I think of racing, I think of Ferraris and Monaco - I also love soccer- World Cup, English Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, UEFA Champions League, etc - but if it's on, it's usually on pretty early and doesn't occupy a lot of my time. Point being: my Sundays aren't often occupied by 'the big game'...I love motorcycles and own a couple, but I'm not a Harley goon; I downright loathe Harleys and choppers and flames and the gorilla-like folk that you see on shows like American Chopper. Same thing goes for brahs and brodozers and Glamis Status/trips to the dunes. You won't find me doing 100mph wheelies on the freeway on a sportbike either. Think more along the lines of classic British/Japanese machinery, ie Steve McQueen style and/or café racer style.Drinking: I'll have a drink, but rarely. Literally maybe 10 drinks a year, if that. Sometimes a bit more, most often a bit less. My idea of a good time has never revolved around alcohol; I can take it or leave it. I'm interested in girls that are whipsmart and assertive- not drunk and disorderly. Louis.+ years. I also spent 5+If you use the 'Meet Me' deal on here and you think you'd truly like to meet me, send a note my way please. First of all, I'm never going to send a message to everyone that clicks that they want to 'meet me'- it's impossible and I wouldn't do it even if it could be done. Second, I'll think you're much cooler if you take the time to engage me rather than just give me a green light and expect me to pursue you when you're the one expressing interest. Do this, and I'm likely to surmise that your relationships are more about you than about two, and that's extraordinarily unattractive.****NOT interested in country girls or the overtly religious****One last thing: countless comments from ladies lead me to believe that we, your potential meetville suitors, have you adrift in a sea of childlike simpletons that can't establish for themselves the basic accoutrements that come along with growing up. Rest assured I have the things a responsible, stable adult would be expected to have. The 'what' part of the date is much, much less important to me than the 'who' part. Live music, coffee house/bookstore, music store, dinner, flip thru the New Times and look for something interesting, race go karts, yet to be determined shenanigans, whatever - it all depends on who I'm with. A date shouldn't be one-sided. It should be about two people having a good time - not about one trying to impress the other. Good company = good times. It's a pretty simple recipe.
