So here is my online dating conundrum:

I have been doing some research (VERY unscientific I admit, so please don’t ask to see my data) and have found something. As women get older, and by “older”, I don’t mean retirement age “older”, just older than 27 or 28, they tend to be a bit more forgiving in the “age” department. Women more close to my age tend to have very narrow requirements and almost never date younger guys (according to their dating preferences). This sucks (an actual, statistical metric). This stacks the deck against my favor. Older women are willing to date younger, but to get to the age where they are willing to “explore downwards”, they are not willing to dip this far down. Girls in my range (I suggest 21-29) tend to date older. That leaves me with women from 21-23 because I like to go out to the club sometimes or have a drink with my food and don’t want to have to leave my woman at home. Now I am not knocking women from 21 to 23; there are some great women out there in this range but there is SUCH a small number of them and let’s face it; I have big ears. Pool shrinks again. So that’s what I am working with.

After figuring this out, I had to come up with a plan so here it is... If you are looking at my profile and like what you see BUT you are worried about my age (or big ears), re-read my profile and imagine that I am 28! Pretty good plan huh! This way, if we go out on a date (eventually) and we DO hit it off, you can just tell all of your friends I am 28! Denial, not just a river in Africa!

OCD? I think not! Just wickedly S-M-A-T! All this and a great body (and maybe just a bit delusional)!

If you can’t tell, I like to laugh a lot. I love being with people I love. My family is the best even though they are way down in Cali. My job is fun for me but it would drive most people crazy. I travel when I want (and sometimes when I don’t want). I love my place. It has a great view and I can play Rock Band with my friends as loud as we want (we need a bass player…wink…wink). I think a lot and get distracted easily. That is me, now let’s look at you…

YOU!!! You can appreciate delusional-istic-ism and take it with a grain of salt. You are patient and practice good hygiene. You love the way you are but are always looking for ways to expand or improve. You like to laugh and you love your parents. You are more beautiful on the inside than on the outside. You take care of yourself and don’t mind taking care of me when I feel lazy. You can take care of yourself but don’t mind being taken care of. Hmmm… what else. To find out what it is you gotta say hi!

So that is me and you. Let's see where this goes.

I need a thousand words, so I've put this up twice. Please disregard. Ha!

So that is me and you. Let's see where this goes.

Work and play.

Everything I do. No, really.

Baby blue eyes. A gift or a curse? And an infectious smile.

Book: Eats, Shoots, and Leaves
Movie: Swing Kids (sounds like a porn but it's not)
Music: A little bit of everything, but I grew up on oldies
Food: Sushi. Also like a lot of others and try anything once

Family. Friends. Snow. Gym. Travel. Beaches.

Random, irrelevant, spontaneous thoughts always run through my head. Stupid ADD.

Rockband and beer with friends as a pregame for the karaoke bars or dancing in Seattle. Either that or The Soup.

Ask me anything. I have no shame.

You want to have a good time, are over 18, have a pulse, and don't muffin top over your sexy jeans.
