Actually, I will be in the Grapevine area late February. But I wanted to post this now because I think the kind of woman I'd like to meet up with is someone who would want to get to know me first ... and that might be something that may take at least a few weeks.

About me: I'm Asian, 44, married (dead bedroom) with kids, on the east coast. I'm really chatty (a natural storyteller). I love to sing. I'm a former athlete (track and football), so I'm in relatively good shape (meaning that I work out enough to look like I'm fit, but have enough "extra" under the shirt to keep myself humble), and relatively attractive (I'd like to think I'm a 7). If height matters to you, I'm 5'9". I'm also a former overachiever who is now without a checklist (something I need to work on). I'm wholesome for the most part ... a Captain America, so to speak - i.e., neat, clean, well-mannered, Boy Scout-ish, no swearing, no drinking, no drugs, nice guy. I don't have a problem with those who do swear or drink. I just don't myself ... although, oddly enough, I do use a couple of swear words while chatting ... but never with my mouth ... and usually with an asterisk somewhere. My main vice is a product of having a high libido and having "touch" as my love language (while being in a relationship with someone who has become just a roommate). This part of me (that brings me to a sub like this) is where I'm at odds with the rest of myself. Other small details about myself: I'm also into sci-fi, fantasy, crime solving (shows, books, etc.), superhero stuff, "chick flicks," romantic comedies, and more recently Japanese anime (to name a FEW). And, if you haven't noticed by now, I'm big into using parenthical expressions. :)

About you: I think if you clicked on this post and have read this far (and enjoyed it), we are probably compatible enough to engage in a conversation to at least get to know one another to see what sort of chemistry we have. I don't need to say what your likes and dislikes should be or say you should have this quality or that characteristic. I think the same goes for appearance as well. While we all have preferences, I've come to realize that it's probably not a good idea to describe what type of women I tend to be attracted to. In doing so, I may discourage someone really great from responding. But I think at minimum, you should view yourself as relatively pretty and try to exercise every now and then (vs rarely or never) ... for health reasons if not for appearances. Also, I think things would work out for the best if one of your love languages is "touch."

So, if you've gotten this far, send me a message already! And don't worry about writing a catchy, Pulitzer-winning first message. I'm not going to ignore your one-liner. I'm a guy. Our inboxes don't get flooded with messages like women. :) And I will reply.
