Good morning/afternoon/evening/night. I tried to not come off as cheesy, but that's easier said than done. Enjoy!

I am a soon-to-be 29 year-old professional male that works in video post production (mostly in the valley) but most of my friends live on the westside so that's why I live in a central location. I prefer practical things over convenient luxuries so if you are one of those girls who's looking for somebody who "knows how to treat a girl", please move along.

YOU:
-Female 18-30 (I really don't care but I figured that if you are reading this, you're around my age anyways)
-NON smoker (Asthma/Allergies)
-Excellent communicator (if I do something that upsets you just say so because I probably don't realize it. I won't take it personally)
-Relatively social (don't want to date a constant party-going rage-aholic BUT I don't want to date a shut-in, cat-lady-in-training, etc.)
-NOT racist/prejudice (mean people suck)

Still reading? Sweet. Now it's my turn:

I grew up in Sacramento, went to school in San Francisco (lived there for 6 years) and now here I am in LA. I enjoy cooking my own meals so I know my way around the kitchen & like to BBQ. I like guy stuff but I'm not obnoxious about it - Beer good. Sports good. Meat good. I do bathe regularly, and try to clean as often as I can. I do NOT have any crazy ex-girlfriends at the moment so my baggage will be kept to a minimum... I can't think of anything else.

Thank you for reading all the way through (unless you cheated and skimmed)
Feel free to ask me any questions about anything.

-Mike
