Well, honestly, I am fairly simple. I came from a big family with 4 sisters and a brother. My parents are extremely Southern, but are awesome and would bend over backwards for any of us. I have a large group of friends that have been amazing to me for years. I am a huge Clemson football fan and consider Clemson to be "God's Country". When you roll all that into one and add my life experiences you see what you have before.

Generally speaking, I think I am pretty easy to get along with. I am blunt, but not so much that I hurt feelings. I am not into game-playing and avoid it like the plague. Honestly, I am just not that good at it.

I am intelligent, work hard, and try my best to play hard.

Now, I want to find the woman that I can share it all with. Someone who doesn't mind sitting at the bar for a beer or two on a Tuesday just because we are both bored and want to get out. Someone who doesn't mind sleeping in and then staying pj's all day on a Saturday watching movies cause it's raining out. Someone who doesn't mind hopping in the car for a roadtrip just because sometimes Atlanta sucks (and I love it here for the most part). Finally, someone who is not afraid of just being themselves and not afraid to be with someone who thinks life shouldn't be so difficult. It should be about fun and sharing the fun you have with your partner in crime, alter ego, etc.

I do think communication and compromise are integral to a healthy relationship. Therefore, to just be honest, if you have trouble with either, we probably won't get a long too well. It can be good and bad, but I discuss issues pretty quickly because I want to move past them and move forward. I believe in getting things resolved. I am definitely not the type to let things fester or not try to resolve things. Even small stuff can turn into big stuff when left unchecked.

Therefore, Just looking for a reasonably attractive girl, with a good head on her shoulders, that is definitely laidback and wants to share something too. I don't think that is too much to ask for now is it?

I am fun-loving, loyal, and easy going

Well... I run 4-5 times a week and would like to run a 10K or Half Marathon soon. The treadmill drives me a little crazy, but I do make it my bitch after pounding on it for an hour or so.

As for as work, I'm in I.T. Staffing and love it. There is never a day that is the same. People have different wants, needs and expectations. Therefore, managing all of that can be difficult, but it makes it rewarding when you help someone find a job who needs it and help a client find the resource they need.

Cooking... Yes I am. Mama was an old, southern style cook. I took her teachings and paired with healthier items that are quite tasty in their own right.

I have a wicked memory. I can't remember names, but I can often remember things I did with friends down the hour on a particular day. I can also tell you within 50 bucks where my bank account is at any given time. A pretty good trait for financial safety. :-) When I play, I'm pretty good at the guitar. I can also whip up some awesome cocktails and make a great patio companion when the weather's nice.

I guess my smile? It's my best feature I think. Other than that, I'm the guy at the bar with hat backwards. What you see is what you get. :-)

Anything Stephen King, Michael Crichton, Dan Brown or Crittendon book.

Movies? too many to mention. Did I mention I own over 200 DVD's? Yep, that will let you know that I love them

Music? Coldplay, David Gray, DMB, G Love and Special Sauce, Ben Harper, 311, U2, and more.

Food? I make a wicked Risotto and I mix it up often. The pork entree at Ecco is favorite. Love chicken and sauteed spinach as well.

Toothbrush
Soap
Water
Dt. Mt Dew
Patios
The ability to travel

Ways of improving myself. Basically being a better person. Not because I've been bad, but because I want for people to think of me in a good light.

Grabbing a beer at a dive bar or somewhere cool. My recent hang outs have been The Nook by Piedmont Park and Hobnob.

Hmmm... I'll have to get back to you on that...

Figured this needed an update. You should message me if:

You're fun, interesting, enjoy patios, tailgating, drinks on Sat/Sun for no other reason than it just feels fun. You are honest to the point of being blunt. Enjoy affection and aren't closed off emotionally.

You SHOULD NOT message me if:

You are emotionally closed off.
Communicate poorly.
Have trouble compromising.
Think that Americans have it so bad.
Do not like patios, wine, football, etc.
Think cancellations and changing plans are acceptable because you deem it so.

Just figured I should update and add more detail.
