Date men from United States / California / North Hollywood, 47 year old

Date a man from United States. Who me?...well I am the quintessential, Renaissance man!…but seriously, I moved to LA 5 years ago from Chicago. I am hoping to meet someone who has the time to invest in getting to know each other. I have noticed people in LA always say “I am too busy” or they are acting as if they are too busy, because they are afraid of what people will think if they say they are not busy -hilarious really. I want to meet someone who truly is interested in hanging out and getting to know each other with the idea of starting something meaningful. I am a very honest, easy going person who loves to laugh. I also love to build and fix things. So, if you are emotionally available, not a head-case and have a sense of humor - I would really love to meet you. I don’t have any ridiculous expectations and at the very least I hope to make new friends here.
Ok…a little more about me: I have a whacked out sense of humor…I love satire (30 Rock, Tosh.0, Family Guy, etc.), am 6' 180 lbs, not a fitness freak, but try to stay in shape and watch what I eat…well most of the time. I love to laugh and am passionate about living and enjoying each day. I have never been married, no kids, and am very low maintenance…I love to just about anything e.g., wine tasting, street festivals (bid deal in Chicago), concerts or just hanging out in LA enjoying live music (I love music, but not a very good dancer) or a good restaurant. I must tell you I am not into art and I hate museums...would rather watch football or basketball on the tube. I do, however, love a compelling film or stage performance. I have somewhat demanding job, so I don’t have a lot of time to check and send emails. Hopefully, you would much prefer to talk to in real time (phone or in person), because it is impossible to get to know someone through email.
Some of my demons in life:
* Al Roker’s head…that thing is a planet!
* Properly pronouncing: "herbal" or "herb"
* Getting my shoe laces equal length
* I still have not figured out how to use that stupid toilet seat liner in the public bathrooms. What is up with that thing anyway? I mean it has a flap with some tear-aways so do you leave the flap flapping or do you just remove the flap? if you remove the flap the whole thing is useless and you have to start over. I hate that thing! It should have explicit instructions!
* A news anchor person whose hair does not move (these people scare me).
* The fact that I can eat an entire bucket of red vines in a matter of hours and feel a sense of accomplishment.
* When to use “who” or “whom”
To summarize me - I am:
Passionate about life and work
Love to find the humor in most things
I am not Mr. Perfect
Loyal
Romantic
Dedicated
Emotionally available
Kind
Generous
Hard working
Outgoing
Try to maintain a positive outlook
Good listener
Love to entertain friends
Always willing to help where I can
Opinionated….but not dogmatic by any means
Well anyway, I am not at all the possessive type or a player and I don’t ask for much – just that you value honesty, sense of humor (as I mentioned, I am the satire king with a whacked-out sense of humor) and a not-head case.
In return, you will get my unabashed loyalty, boundless affection and total commitment
For your amusement, I have included some recent and intentionally stupid pictures of myself (after looking at these pictures, do you really think I would actually tell the person taking these photos that “wow, you really captured the essence of me?”
I have heard many stories about online dating so I should also mention what I am NOT looking for:
* Serial internet daters addicted to dating for sport
* a person seeking temporary fulfillment
* a person seeking some sort of validation
* Rebounder
* a person just interested in sending emails back and forth and never actually talking in real time (I don't have much time for writing and checking emails so I am NOT interested in an “internet relationship.")
