I'm a downtown Chicago architect, 6-1, athletic bod, sandy blonde (salt and pepper for blondes!) hair and blue eyes. I've been told I'm drop dead handsome, but I've also been told to DROP DEAD, so you'll have to decide for yourself! I'm a divorced white man, which means I can't jump but I am house trained ;-) I’m 75% Irish (intentionally underutilized drinking skills) and 25% French (unintentionally underutilized kissing skills). I come from a big family and I love kids, but I did not make the ones in that one pic of mine! (6 of my 7 nieces and nephews).

I'm an intelligent, fun and funny, flexible, sensitive, romantic, and open kind of nice guy. I have a positive attitude and am financially successful; smoke, drug, disease and game free (regarding the latter: forget about game-playing me, I'm too gullible to get it anyway. if you tell me you're blowing me off to make babies with a foreign terrorist, be prepared for a visit from Homeland Security!).

I otherwise enjoy my significant other-less life, which I'd like to change! I like working out, tracking down a pesky little white ball in various stranger's backyards :-), blading, skiing, a wide range of music and cultural events, collecting art, and weekend getaways.

I love the Cubs – OK I'm not perfect, but I should get loyalty points for sticking with the loveable losers!!!!! Besides, any team can have a bad century OR TWO now and then, right? (curse that stupid curse, but be kind to the next goat you see just in case hehehe) I also like the Sox ...just not when they play the Cubs. Big Illini fan too!

I like cooking romantic candlelight dinners, and I believe in long, slow, deep, wet, soft kisses that last three days. I'll cook dinner for you if you can tell me where I lifted that line from…and I’ll throw in dessert if you get the other movie I mentioned!

I'm looking for a best friend and lover, someone who is attractive, intelligent, funny, romantic, and passionate. Warm eyes and a big smile are pluses!! She has faults to some people, but not to me. In other words, the perfectly imperfect woman who I can't bear to live without!! WHERE ARE YOU?!?

Oh, and you like intelligent, grown-up guys that still have a little of the boy alive inside them. OK, a lot :-)

Non-negotiable: please be a non-smoker. Oh wait there's another: your pics. Come on, if you can walk around Chicago with thousands of strangers looking at you it won’t kill you to put up a couple!

Finally, as prophesied by Nostradamus around 1555 or so for this generation: "staying home alone is bettered by online chatting, which is bettered by telephone conversation, which is bettered by face-to-face meeting." He said that. Really. You can look it up. :-)
