ME: I am an original. Exhibits curiosity, asks questions, moves about. I “grow” on people; I touch people, I cause them to react. I am vibrant. The opposite sex is drawn to me. I am restless and charming. I may not be profound, but I am intelligent. I may not be a raving beauty, but I am vivacious. I love change, travel, variety. I am agile, versatile, witty; my sense of humor is highly developed and I can extricate myself from very difficult situations. My words come fast, my ideas flow. I can keep a secret, even though I talk a great deal. I scatter my forces and some wonder if I ever really do concentrate. I am filled with contradictions but am capable of coining up with ready explanations. I am interesting and controversial. My ideas are not orthodox and neither are my methods. I instigate curiosity and controversy. I am a non-conformist. I break rules, but have also taken the time to become thoroughly familiar with them. I debate on the side of unpopular causes and people. Once I get the facts, nothing can stop me from securing justice. Red tape and drudgery upset me. My hands are usually busy and an outlet for expression is a definite necessity for me. I am filled with energy and capable of doing almost anything—at a moment’s notice. I plan, think, speculate on more than one subject or person at a time. I analyze, want reasons and explanations. I know how to laugh in the face of apparent adversity. I can be counted on to find something amusing about almost anything—especially in emergencies.
I can do a little of almost everything, but what I do best is laugh, especially at my own foibles. I generate enthusiasm, people talk about me—they gossip with and about me and are curious about where I have been and where I am going. I command attention and am on the move mentally and physically. I am filled with qualities of expressiveness and sometimes the energy leads to nervousness or a seeming lack of discipline or uncertainty. It is necessary for me to learn from experience and sometimes go through hell to find out. I often attract the envy of others; this accounts for my dual nature. In my life I seem to have more friends when adversity strikes, then, for some reason attract bitterness and ridicule of others. Wanting to be wanted, admired, and loved, I often pull my punches. I act only according to the way I feel—at the time. I am extremely sensitive to the thoughts, feelings, moods, and intentions of others. My character is multifaceted; my emotions run the gamut. I can look one way, and think another. I can go in one direction, but be headed somewhere else. Once a relationship is over, for me it is over. I am dreadful when chained down and confined. I am independent yet dependent. Its not easy for others to know me. I have been different at different stages of my life, more so than the average individual. I tend to invite trouble from the opposite sex. I often draw to me people who draw no response from myself, I am selective, I look beyond the surface for lasting values. I value myself and will not give myself away. I break the bubble of pomposity wherever I find it. I can be charming, seductive, and on occasion, even reasonable! You must know how to laugh. I may appear to have a devil-may-care attitude but deep down, I want security, stability, one partner who can and wants to keep up.

YOU: American SINGLE WHITE PROFESSIONAL. Age 36 to 45. 5'10 or taller, large frame or build. You should be somewhat normal, but that is open to interpretation. Intelligent, generous,literate, college educated, and professionally employed, independent, sense of humor, kissable mouth and strong hands. Tall, hilarious, serene, good with technical stuff, solvent enough to go out for sushi a couple times a month. NO oversensitive guys: I will eat you for dinner and go out for ribs afterwards. Can tolerate the formal events in this town and go home to sweats and a t-shirt. Do you know what a salad fork is? You should understand what it means to work long hours and have your schedule sometimes determined by others and not be threatened that I work predominantly with men. Like dogs and cats, be good to your friends and family, comfortable around children. And can be patient when showing me the proper way to light the gas grill without needing the fire department. Have a goofy sense of humor, but knows how to behave in public. Hopefully you are someone without much drama in their past, and definitely not rebounding, cheating or playing. Not looking for a story teller or a wanna-be. Looking for stability in your career. D/d free is a must. No criminal background whatsoever.
