Bertnot, 57

yes. i'm an infuriatingly logical, honest, no-holds-barred lover of truth, inner beauty, and um... good food. i have a sense of humor when with good-natured people, and am probably 'too smart for my own good' when with... other people. i'm single-mindedly passionate when it comes to love. i have mostly waited for it, and never betrayed anyone- even if i knew it wasn't working. i'd rather work to fix or opt out. i'm very creative, good with my hands- from creating art, electronics, to massage and... other things. i write software and fiction (nothing paid yet). i can paint, airbrush, 3d model, ect. i'm not 'keeping up with the joneses' minded, or cash obsessed in any way. i've never worn jewelry, my ears are unpierced, and i included a nappy-headed photo so you can see me at the end of a work day. i'll treat you well, but i'm looking for an 'equal partner' who believes in herself, not a prima-donna, queen or princess. i can't stand the 'smell' of something spoiled.

you must have enough courage & self esteem to at least post a photo. also, if you were married- be divorced. be in ny. not in ny? be ready to travel- i'm yet to get a new car. those are the basics. pass those? good. you should know what you want & be compassionate. be intelligent enough to argue with me, patient enough to put up with me, & strong enough to make me change my mind. of course, if you're really good, i won't feel bad about it either... i'm almost as much a slave to my eyes as the next guy- so i like curves- but it's more important the brain works than anything, so you can't lack compassion, common sense, or focus. after that you can be big, small, bald- i don't care- but please- no actresses or chameleons. i always attract them, and i'll sort you out. warning: if you 'try' to be what you 'think' i like- i will tire you out- the standards i set for myself are pretty high- just be yourself. there is always value there- even if you don't believe it!
