I have a massive intellectual capacity & a superior vernacular, due both in part to my academic education & my masters degree in the school of life. I have an IQ of 148, which is on the first tier of genius status, although I don't let it overwhelm or intimidate anyone on purpose. I actually find myself suppressing my intelligence in order to communicate & function on a more "average" level in my daily life, so as not to completely confuse everyone around me. Although that doesn't always work out as planned.

My ASSETS include: being independent, determined, strategic, straight-forward, hilarious, sarcastic, clever, philosophical, opinionated, open-minded, communicative, exciting, non-conforming, non-addictive, experimental, productive, intuitive, overachieving, meticulously organized, generous, compassionate, romantic, inventive, bold, outgoing & a total social chameleon, just to name a few.

My FLAWS include: being too trusting, obnoxious, overwhelming, pessimistic, procrastinating, anxious, frustrated, impatient, judgemental, neurotic, informative, revealing, generous & emotionally available, among others.

All this may seem a bit overwhelming, but I am an open book & see no reason to misrepresent myself or try to "hide" my flaws. Nobody is perfect, everyone has defects. And my flaws, just as much as my assets, are what makes me human, individual & REAL.

My INTERESTS include: MUSIC, concerts, writing, bowling, camping, boating, pool, wrestling (REAL not WWE), classic car restoration, storm chasing, ghost hunting, etc. Love country life as opposed to the mad rush & mix of cultures in the city. But, you really have to be raised in that environment of privacy & freedom to truly appreciate it.

I'm not too complicated or hard to please when it comes to friends. I just don't deal with drama or people who possess what I call "destructive traits", being characteristics that cause mental harm to themselves or others. I don't have the time, patience or energy to sort out & repair the defects of your mind, nor should I be expected to. So, if you have more issues than a magazine rack, save it for your 15 minutes of fame on the Jerry Springer show & move along :)

So first & foremost you must be REAL, open minded, sarcastic, brutally honest, hilarious, intellectual, philosophical, determined, straight-forward, impulsive, strategic, adventurous, opinionated, non-addicted, non-conforming, experimental, exciting, intriguing, emotionally stable, communicative, independent & COMPLETE on a mental/spiritual level.

But most importantly, you must be your OWN identity. Meaning you are in your own created reality, without any rules or regulations set by society, family, friends, false idols or other such unreliable sources. You are able to be yourself without any false pretense or disguises. And are PROUD of who you are, without ANY level of concern for what anyone else may think or feel about it. This is your one & only life, in case you didn't notice.

The "destructive traits" that I won't tolerate on any level include: People who are irresponsible, misrepresenting, co-dependent, mentally shallow, superficial, prejudiced, vindictive, greedy, competitive, self absorbed, jealous, smothering, possessive, controlling, interrogative, accusational, assuming, insensitive, dishonest, intellectually lazy, promiscuous or incapable of conflictual resolution.

If you possess ANY of these mental afflictions, please spare my time & yours & invest in some therapy. :)

I tend to attract a lot of people who just want sex based upon my looks. And while the majority opinion might find that flattering, I see no value in one night stands. I have to get to know somebody as a friend first & feel them out to see if there might be any chemistry between us. If I don't feel any kind of connection, then sex will be out of the question because I don't offer myself to everyone like junk mail. That's just me. Call me old fashioned, but this is what has kept me disease free & has also set me apart from the rest of the crowd. The level of respect I have is something I plan to keep for the rest of my life. So, don't fool yourself into believing that you have something to offer sexually that will "change my mind". You will only end up disappointed & looking like an ass.

The best way to impress me is to just be yourself & be totally honest with me. I am the most straight-forward, down-to-earth kind of dude you could ever meet. If I don't like you, you will know about it right away. I won't smile & nod, pretending to like you if I really don't. It's a waste of my time & yours, so just be honest & we can keep the bullshit level to a minimum.

That's not asking for too much is it? LOL! I really don't expect anyone to possess ALL of these characteristics. But I hope to find someone to ENHANCE & who can ENHANCE me in return. And THAT, my friends, is what TRUE friendship is all about :)

Guess that is all I have to say for now. Enjoy my page & email me anytime your little heart desires. Just don't flood my email with nude pics of yourself unless I ask for them. I care more about your face than I do about your ass.

Love, Peace & Chicken Grease :)~
