I'm an open-minded freethinker and I would like to meet someone who is an open-minded freethinker. I admit I need to lose some weight, as I've put on a few pounds since these pictures were taken. I do not care for dogma (living with the results of other peoples' thinking). I'm open to being rationally persuaded, but not manipulated. Not in a hurry to get married. Friends or Friends Plus is ok with me. I do not smile a lot; but, don't mistake that as me not being happy or friendly. It's just the Autism and yes, I am a bit shy. I do not like being the center of attention and I'm not the life of the party. I do have a sense of humor and I don't mind laughing at myself. I'm currently in a bit of a holding pattern as I await my Disability Hearing. This has come about due to my Asperger's Disorder (Autism), PTSD, and severe back problems. I would like a woman who can accept me for who I am and who can teach me how to relax better. While I don't have a particular type of woman in mind, I prefer someone who is smarter and wiser than me. Perhaps someone who is a bit older than me, or at least more agressive and more of a decisive go-getter than me. I want someone who has a plan, and I want to help you succeed in carrying-out your plan. I can be your helper. You are awesome the way that you are and I would never try to change that. I'm all for my woman going out and having fun without me being there with her all the time. You don't need my approval to have fun. I particularly think ladies nites out (no boyfriends allowed) are important for you to have. Every woman needs a chance to be free of her man and to just cut-loose sometimes. If you are looking for a man with a lot of money, I am sure to be a disappointment to you.

I answered this in my self-summary.

I'm really good at creating music. It's easy for me to come-up with tunes and lyrics. I do not play instruments; but, I am currently studying the Production side of music, so that I can produce my own songs for my own enjoyment. I don't like to rely on expensive producers to make my music come to life when I can do it myself. I am more ambitious about writing a book someday. I'm an excellent writer. I've survived a lot of trauma, and I would like to help other survivors through my writing.

My Autism (lack of eye contact and flat smile), my gentle nature, my straight teeth (never had braces), my hazel eyes, my dry sense of humor.

The nature of reality.

Friday is just another day to me. I go out when I want to go out and I stay in when I want to stay in. I like anything nature-related (parks, walking trails, Wilderness Center, etc...). I like watching sports on tv (NASCAR, Cavs, Browns, Indians, Buckeyes). I like reading on my kindle. I like watching Discovery Investigation channel.

I'm a shy, private person to begin with. I like to buy non-perishable foods in bulk. This saves trips to the grocery store.

While I don't have a particular type of woman in mind, I prefer someone who is smarter and wiser than me. Perhaps someone who is a bit older than me, or at least more agressive and more of a decisive go-getter than me.
