I am outgoing, adventurous, and always up for a challenge. I love kids, animals, travel, meeting new people, learning new things, reading a good book, a nice glass of red wine, thunderstorms, snowstorms, mountains, the ocean, riding horses, being out in nature, witty reparte, joking, laughing, all outdoor sports, going out, staying in, listening to music, hearing a great band, dancing, singing, writing, discovering new things about those important to me, and really connecting with someone. It will bring me joy to exchange my solitude with better company than my own, otherwise and until then, my own company and solitude is keeping me pretty happy, sane, engaged, excited, at peace, and joyous.

Evaluating it on a daily basis to make myself a better Father, Son, Brother, Neighbor, Friend and Human Being

Saving the world from incompetence. Still working on it. How much I loathe OK CUPID. Why people never upload pictures of what they look like when they first wake up and get out of bed in the morning. Might be a good idea for a new dating website. Is it rude to ask someone who posts photos of themselves with their friends for their friends phone numbers? Why on earth would anyone put a code in the self summary part of their profile for people to crack? Online dating is hard enough as it is, now people are expecting you to crack a code to find out something about them. If you are seeing someone, why are you on a dating website? Please spare me "its for the journal entries" excuse, that is the equivalent of a guy subscribing to Playboy for the great articles. Why is it that 9 out of 10 times, when a person posts a photo of themselves with a child on this website, it's not their child. Is it just to make them look "child friendly"? Why men never list the fact that they are just as comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt as they are in an Armani suit. Einstein once stated that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results. I'm beginning to think he was talking about dating. Why the Real Housewives shows on Bravo are still called that when 70% of them are now divorced. Maybe they could change it to Housewives and Former Housewives. Why it feels like I am living Don Drapers life.

Either eating take out chinese food and watching the latest new release on Netflix with my daughters or headed to NYC for some fine cuisine.

I hate clowns. They scare me.

Clowns scare you too. You should NOT message me if you think that my log in name means that I'm seeking the actresss from the Twilight movies. That's just sick. There seems to be an abundance of professional daters on this website so please do not message me if you are just trying to add me to your dating pool. I am looking for a relationship, not looking to become part of a dating pool. Also I have a Football player body. Meaning I have wide shoulders, large upper body and large thighs (have had it since 8th grade) so if you are the tall, extremely thin, boney, model body type that only eats salads and exercises 4 hours a day, then we probably won't work. Been there, done that. I am looking for more of the Christina Hendricks or Marilyn Monroe classic sexy, body type. Lastly, if in all of your photos you are at a bar or a club, drunk and spilling your drink as you lean over to pose for the photo, then I'm probably not for you either. Not looking to be the permanent designated driver everytime we go out. Been there, done that as well.
