Dating Profiles

I think I've mentioned before that I joined yet another dating site. Plenty of Fish .com. I've been reading some of my "match" profiles and I have to tell you if this is the kind of guys that are out there I'm scared. I had to show you this real life profile of this guy his photo and user name have been changed for his protection. What am I supose to do if the profiles that I read although amusing are of 41 year old males that still live with their parents. Say they like watching TV (while it's off). Reading this I was amused and annoyed all at the same time.

About Me:
Hello -
The good news. I am financially set for life. I recently received some wonderful emails informing me that I have won the Australian lottery and the Netherlands lottery. I have also received an email from the spouse of a dignitary in a foreign country that needs my help in moving several million dollars out of their country and they will pay me a large percentage of it. I have sent them all my banking information. So anytime now I should be very surprised at the size of my bank account.

As soon as I collect my winnings and commission I figure I should have loads of millions. So as you can see, financially speaking I am doing phenomenally well.
On another positive note, many years ago a friend told me that the overall mojo in my astrological chart has a powerful cosmic configuration. So yeah I got that going for me too.
Now a little about my personal life.

I like to watch TV and eat cheese puffs. I usually eat an entire bag in one sitting. I know what you're thinking, but you're wrong. Look, they are puffs. Get it? Puffs. That means they are puffed with air. You could smush the contents of an entire bag to the size of one piece of toast. So I guess basically, I like to eat air.

I love mild Pace Picante sauce, but I almost never eat it. Yeah, try and figure that one out.

When not watching TV I sit and work at the computer. No, I am not fat. I am horizontally challenged. Ok, not really. I'm actually slim. When I get full I stop eating. I like milk shakes but I am too lazy to make them. I eat pretty healthy most of the time thanks to my laziness. I still live at home with my parents. I could move anytime I want but I figure I might as well spend time with them now before the economy collapses, cause when they're gone, they're gone. Of course if science discovers how to reverse aging sometime in the not too distant future then I am going to be more miffed than a multi-legged creature at a foot stompin' contest.
I used to do modeling but no more...frankly I just don't have room for any more planes or cars under my bed.

I don't go out much because its mostly pretty irritating and boring. Although I watch some TV, for the most part I avoid it because so much of it is a mind numbingly mind numbing. A four year old with a box of used crayons could create better content. Ok, there are a few good shows, but the crayons win most of the time. (BTW, does anyone know how to remove crayon from a TV screen?)

I am not religious but do have a wrist watch with spirit hands.

I take naps during the day cause it seems better that way.
I am not a drinker but I do drink socially. I need to socialize everyday at least 4-5 times a day. Ok, not really. Actually I avoid drinking, smoking, drugs, and other such unhealthy things. What's that you say? I sound boring. Ha. Just wait till you read further down. ExCiTeMeNt is my middle name!

I think its good to exercise, too bad it takes so much effort.

Sometimes I am haunted by the notion that I ought to be doing something important. This causes me some consternation, but I just lay down on my bed until the feeling goes away.
Sometimes I think of something really funny and make myself laugh out loud. Fortunately I only do this when I am alone so nobody thinks I am daffy. I did do it once at the grocery store. I managed to evade the guys in white suits with the big net by hiding in the cereal aisle. I acted like a box of Cheerios.

Why is it so hard to keep plants alive? I mean, shouldn't watering them once a year be enough?

I can sit and stare at the TV for hours on end. Sometimes I will even turn it on.

I love to snuggle. Me and my Snuggie are inseparable.
My favorite sport is sleeping. Why don't they have sleeping in the Olympics? I know why. They're afraid I will hog all the gold medals.

I've kinda vowed to give up yoga. The last time I tried it my head was stuck under my thigh for three hours.

Sometimes I think cell phones are great, other times I think they are the beast designed to destroy peace and relaxation. One thing for sure, most are a nice size and weight for throwing a remarkable distance. (They also make a neat 'plunk' sound when hitting the water.) As you can tell I am a tech type person. I can even get my devices to stop flashing 12. Here's the secret, duct tape.

I enjoy both the outdoors and the indoors. Whether its hiding under my bed or camping in the back yard with an RV.
Do you like action and adventure? Well look no further! I am an expert at video games(see I told you my middle name was excitement). However, I am not all fun and games. I am also studious. I'm currently reading a book. Yea, remember....those paper things. I'm only on page 203. It's a 598 page book entitled "The Beauty of Brevity." Yep, I peeked at the ending. Now I am having an awful time motivating myself to read the rest.
Most people say chemistry is very important. Well I am here to tell you that I have had the periodic table up on my wall for many years. I have a chemistry set and everything. If you don't have one, relax, there are many things in the kitchen and laundry room you can use to make great chemical reactions. I don't have an advanced degree or anything but I do know my way around a lot of bubbly things. So think about that before you pass this profile by. I just may be the fizzy reaction you are looking for.
Numerology is fun, so if you are going to respond please be exactly 5 foot 7.836 inches tall(I'm 6 foot 1.0829 inches which of course is a perfect match). Feel free to respond regardless of height but I can't guarantee instant chemistry.

Hmmm.... actually I can't guarantee instant chemistry even if you are that height.

DISCLAIMER: There are no guarantees of instant chemistry.
The questionnaire asked if I owned a car, but it didn't ask if it runs. Hehe.

At night, sometimes I will cover up one headlight and pretend I am a motorcycle.
What in the world is with the e-mail settings at this place?

-> Only allow messages from users within [75] [20,000] miles.

That's the only two choices?!?

20,000 miles??? Well at least I can screen out people in geosynchronous orbit.

As for you people on the Moon, tooooo bad haha.

P.S. If you don't know how to crop your picture just send it to me and I'll do it. It will save countless people from having to use a ouija board to find out which is you or why that other guy is there.

First DateFor the first meeting, we should probably meet someplace neutral, like Switzerland. If that's not doable, then the middle of the Mojave Desert at midnight, and we're only allowed to bring a driver and one briefcase each. The second meeting should be something fun, or interesting. Not a movie. I can fall asleep in front of one of those by myself.

Nothing too extravagant. We could go to the cookie dough factory and sneak away from the main tour and then make a giant cookie dough monster.(This is a bit dangerous. If we get caught they usually make you eat the whole thing.) Or maybe a picnic at night. Is moonlight enough for a picnic? Maybe the best is a relaxing walk among tall trees and quiet waterfalls. But maybe there's something even better. Some things have to remain a mystery.
