- In my own words:
- I know most women don’t like to read through profiles but only want to look at the pictures of hottie males, I would ask that you do. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry but you won’t get a two-for-one deal. ;-) Also FYI, if I sent you a wink but no note, it is for one of a few reasons. Either you have something on your profile that is preventing me from writing like having to live within 50 miles or not a smoker. Both kind of funny since A) I’ve had relationships that have started from long distance and been rewarding to the both of us and B) most of my girlfriends from the past have been non-smokers. LOL! Another reason might be because you’re a lot younger than I am or we have a lot of differences which might make you not interested in me. I’m a big boy and wear big boy shorts so my ego can handle rejection. I just don’t like to waste a ½ hour of my life on a letter that won’t even be read. Life is too short to waste doing meaningless, unsatisfying crap. So if you get a wink, please don’t take it as me being lazy. Instead I’m expressing an interest in you, inviting you to see this to see whether you would be interested in knowing me too. If so then send me a wink back and then I’ll write you a nice, decent letter. No one-liners from me, I promise! And if you do write to me, please try to make it a little intelligent ok? Use the shift key, know the difference between there, they’re and their and maybe use the occasional spell check… You’ll impress me a lot more with your intelligence than your chest size. ;-D
Well I’ve been back here in the wilds of Virginia from Los Angeles for about a year and a half now so I thought it was time to make a change to the profile. How much has changed in a year? LOTS! Except for the being single part… I’ve gone on a few dates but haven’t felt any real connection with anyone yet. Made a few friends which is nice, rediscovered a lot of old friends which is surprising. I don’t know why but I just thought everyone up and moved off to see the world like I did. Surprising when you see someone you haven’t seen in a long time and they are married and have 3 kids… They sigh because they wish they were me and I sigh because I wish I was them. Well after meeting some of their spouses, I can understand their sigh… (ROFLMAO!) I have to admit, being back here I do like it a little more than I did when I first moved back. I’ve seen a full cycling of seasons which is pretty cool, am discovering places and things I never did when I grew up near here and am liking going hiking where the trees actually have leaves and every step doesn’t kick up dust. ;-) Still haven’t found a good Chinese restaurant but there is a great Mexican one right down the street!!! Halfway between my house and the bookstore I opened a month ago which makes it a nice stop on the way home. When I can get out of here before they close that is!!!
You’ll find I am not your normal male… I’m not looking to "tag ‘em and bag ‘em" nor to "find, 4uck and flee" but for friends then if there is more to explore it together. The main difference between me and most males, I’ve actually had the right woman in my life for a number of years and it worked. So I know exactly what qualities I’m looking for in someone either as a friend or more. You might be asking in your head right now; "Well, if you had the right woman what happened?" or "What did you do to lose her?" I’ll be up front and honest, I didn’t do anything to lose her. She was tragically killed about 2 ½ years ago, changing my life forever. For about a year and a half after I was a hermit. Sometimes a week would go by without me seeing the light of day. I still ran my business, sent the boys out on their jobs and everything but I handled it from home. Then about a year ago I was forced out of my shell by having to move home to help take care of my parents. I loved Los Angeles but I love them more. Once I moved back and started being out and about a little bit more I realized that Nora would be very disappointed in me if she were still around. Well maybe not disappointed in me but very sad because of how my life had become. When she was alive I was the vibrant, happy go lucky, flirtatious life of the party who made people smile at every turn and friends out of total strangers. Yup, I’m the guy who knows all of his neighbors within a month of moving in and that total strangers say hello to. Well when I started realizing all the things I lost when she died, I realized that I was living exactly the opposite of how she would want me to live. She would understand mourning and having to grieve since she went through that when her Mom died but she would also want me to embrace life again, to try and be happy and to try and find another "right one" to spend my life with. And by another "right one" I don’t mean a carbon copy of her since every woman in the world is delightfully different but someone who makes me just as content inside and someone that I give that back to also. So just be you and I’ll be me and lets see where it goes, ok? BTW- You might be thinking that because of this I might have a lot of baggage and I don’t. I’ve gone through the grieving and the tears and I’ve come up alive and snarling at fate saying "Uh-uh! I’m not going down that easily…" So rest assured, I don’t have much baggage if any. What I do have is a whole lot of life experience from every direction imaginable, a thousand adventures to share and an indomitable humor that just won’t quit. So if you’re looking for a guy who isn’t intimidated by intelligence in a woman, not a commitment-phobe yet not desperate, has his crap together, is not too needy or suffocating, can make you laugh till your sides hurt and can give you a body rub that will put you to sleep (or wake you up! LOL!) then you might want to drop me a note. You now have a little insight as to who I am and where I’m coming from… Who knows, I might like reading your profile as much as you’re liking this.
To give you a greater insight as to who I am, I'm adding this part. Let me know what you think! :)
One thing I've noticed online is the me, me, me complex in profiles. I want this "from you", I want that "from you, and if I don’t get it, I won’t be interested…" How narrow minded of some people… I thought I'd try a little something different and that is what you'll get if you throw in your lot with me. Something different. I want to be... Let's [insert that] and see what happens.
I want to be the man you can rely on. To be the man you think of first when you're having a really crappy day at work and need to vent or have someone listen and understand. Who agrees that your evil boss or co-worker deserves to die in some new and hilariously Darwin-like manner. I want to be the man that makes you laugh when nothing is seeming to go right. I want to be the man who, when you come home, isn't too tired to rub your feet for a bit and listen to your day. Who makes you sigh in contentment when you lean against me to cuddle. I want to be the man who surprises you both at the beginning and 5 years later. I want to be the man who convinces you to walk in the rain just because its fun and child like. I want to be the man who makes you feel safe and secure in the dark, dangerous places. Who sometimes takes you out on the edge of life but you know isn't going to let you fall unless the parachute is attached properly. I want to be the man who will play your favorite sport with you not because I like it but because I like spending time with you more. I want to be the man when I sing to you it makes you cry but not out of any sadness. The man you call to fix things... The man you can hit the snooze button with 10 times before dragging us both out of bed to relocate to the couch for coffee, a snack, a couple of books and a mid-morning nap. I want to be the man who calls at just the right time when you need it. Who picks you up and dusts you off when you fall down. Who kisses your knee when you skin it or makes your favorite comfort food when you're feeling down or sick. The man who scratches your back in just the right way. The man who life seems a little brighter, a little more electric with. I want to be the man you can't picture life without.
What can I say??? I want to be the man. :)
