Temptingphate, 47

Why is finding perfection so hard? Become the anomaly to the status quo. I am not a skinny boy looking for the perfect housewife. I am just here to try and find that special someone that I click with. Ideally someone who is no more than 20 minutes drive, can tolerate most forms of music except rap and country, likes to be affectionate, and accepts me for who I am. I work as a Manager in the Trades, and very hard too. Long weeks Tuesday - Saturday 8am-6pm. I do not spend tons of time party'ing during the week, but do enjoy going out on the weekends. My friends and I usually get together for a poker party once a month or so. Mostly guys drinking beer, having cigars (Yes I do indulge but ONLY for poker night, otherwise smoking is NASTY). I am a bit of a techie when it comes to computers and technology. I have a cat named Thorazine and a dog named Icarus. My dog goes almost everywhere with me so yes, love me, love my dog. I curse, I can come off as abrupt, I drive hard and fast, and my patience for idiots is low. On the plus side I am loyal, devoted, charming, attentive, straightforward, and will always let you know where you stand. I do not really enjoy dating, but if that's what it takes, I hate being alone even more. I miss sitting up at night with someone next to me, so I can play with their hair, caress their face as they fall asleep in my arms, and having that person to wake up next to. I have a degree to teach high school history in WA state. Despite that I still work in the service industry. I love medieval history and have a small but growing sword collection. There is allot more but hey, gotta leave a few things to talk about on our date. I am a larger man and I am tired of scouring other sites only to find vegans who work out 6 hours a day religiously. I want someone real, who accepts me for who I am and I can identify with. Is that so hard?
