Description:

I’m looking for that one in a million woman. I know that for many this is going to come across as really arrogant, but I am not looking for just any woman.  I am a successful businessman, though I wouldn’t consider myself wealthy at the moment.  I work hard, usually getting up at 4 a.m. every morning.  I’m a clean-cut executive office type.  I have some business college, but mostly my success has come from working and learning in various industries.  I lift weights regularly and at 6’2 and 180 lbs, I have an athletic build.  I have a brain that I actually use, I’m creative and I have common sense.  I’ve never been married and have no children.  I’m a political conservative active in Republican politics, and I like to listen to Rush (not the band).  I don’t have any gambling, tobacco, drug, sex, health or stupidity problems that seem to plague most men.  I like just about any outdoor activities when I decide to make the time to do them: ski, hike, camp, and warm cozy fires.

I have to say that I don’t think the woman I’m looking for exists.  This woman is a spirit filled Christian and loves God, she is virtuous, she is independent, she is kind and considerate of others, she has a strong will of her own, high self esteem and self worth.  Physically, she is beautiful.  Standing taller, she has long full hair and a slender but busty athletic build.  She has excellent personal hygiene and wears little if any makeup – she doesn’t need it.  She is 27-32 years old, has no children, and has never been married.  She is highly intelligent and wise; she is creative and talented and has a great sense of humor.  She is a working woman with a useful college degree and street smarts.  She owns land or a home as a trophy to her financial wisdom and ability to make decisions on her own.  She wouldn’t think twice about staying home to raise our children although she’d probably miss working in the office.  Even with all of these, above all, she is a best friend.  If you really do exist, please e-mail me with a photo.
