Im a 30 year old single guy.i love to make people laugh and i also enjoy listening and being a good friend.I am a very passionate and a sweet guy.Im looking to find love and a long term relationship.not looking for games or dishonest people!

Hello, I am not really religious, I believe in something I just can't put my finger on it.I like to goto rock/metal concerts, some of my favorites are slipknot, mudvayne, shinedown, blackstone cherry, three days grace, breaking benjamin, seether, puddle of mudd, soil, lamb of god, dope, anew revolution, allele, and so many more, music is my passion nothing in the world can beat an outdoor concert under the stars, with a cold beer or a coffee, i totally hate the packers, cubs, and pistons, I am a diehard fan of the Bears, White sox and Bulls.My favorite movies are tenacious d pick of destiny, spider man series, lord of the rings trilogy, almost any horror movie favorite is devil's rejects and i am a diehard fan of the simpsons aqua teen hunger force, family guy, king of the hill, south park, and robot chicken

I like to think that I have many great qualities .. I am cute, smart, funny and a good listener, however I am a horrible speller. So if I have misspelled anything you have been forewarned LOL! I am currently a graphic designer for a technology company and tend to be a APPLE snob and a bit of a nerd but with some sense of style. : )

Also I am a BBW ... I like to think that I am just a hour glass with too much time on my hands. :) SO ... if you are not into chunk chicks, you should try it some time! Once you go FAT you never go BACK .. HA! Just kidding! I just want someone to like ALL of me and not what I could or might be someday on the outside.

I'm very empathic, which makes me perfect for my chosen vocation. I give to friendships and relationships, sometimes a little TOO much, which is why discovering my helping-people limits during college was a difficult but much-needed process. I am VERY enamored of reading, especially sci-fi and fantasy (but I love lots of other stuff too, from ), and of learning in general. I play French Horn (WAY out of practice) and Mellophone (marching band), and sing soprano. I am a bit into kink in a sweetly disconcerting manner (message me for my vital stats in that area). I love life and live it exhuberantly. I am almost incapable of being depressed for long periods of time.
That being said, I MISS NEW ENGLAND! *snufflesnuffle* I'm from upstate New York (Rochester), went to Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, and then did Organic Chemistry one summer at Harvard in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

I am many things, too many to describe but first and foremost I'm the mother of two great kids. If this bothers you, then I am relieved that I didn't waste my time going into detail about who the real "me" is. I am generally a true-to-self, compassionate person. Have you ever heard the Meredith Brooks song "Bitch"? If you have, that's my summary in a nut shell. For those who haven't - it doesn't mean that I am a bitch and I would have to say that you had to have heard it at least once in your life. I was married for 11 years and divorced about a year ago.

I'm a pretty easy going guy. I have a kinda quirky sense of humor that ranges from dark to downright silly and my sarcasm is second to none. I enjoy Cubs baseball, comics, movies, Tv, cooking, driving, playing catch, taking walks, mini putting, hanging out with friends, and absurd conversations.

Hola everyone! Thanks for stopping by. I'm Randy, and this is stuff that I feel like sharing at the moment. I am here looking for a special friend and maybe more if the chemsitry is there. I am a very clean guy, college grad, dress nice, drug/dess free, with a very strong sex drive looking to hook-up with a special open minded women. I keep it simple and I don't like drama and all that stuff.

So what would you want to know about me?

You must wonder. How is this person different from the rest? Or you may wonder. Does he have the stability and character that I would want?

So how do I tell you in a convincing way, that to know me is to know someone special? Or conversely, how do I know that you have that special character and personality which will result in a romantic relationship that is beyond the ordinary?

Well here is the best way I can tell you.

I can laugh at myself. Yes, I can be very serious about things that matter. But life's ironies are amusing. And laughter can be the best medicine as long as it is kind and respectful.

I am dependable. I have achieved numerous awards in my profession. I have friends with whom I have been close to for 38 years. My life is stable and comfortable, financially and emotionally. I have never used any illegal drugs or misused any legal ones. You would never have to wonder where I am or what I am doing as I would tell you. My word would be my honor.

I know how to treat a woman. That means I respect and value differences. I work to understand what is said as well as what is meant. I believe that that being in love is a daily thing and that romance is a fire that needs to be fed. I value the touch?not just holding hands but connecting through the fingers to the heart. In the end it is that soft and endearing look of one's eyes into the eyes of one you love that tells it all.

I respect and value life. I have a Chow named Star that I got from the Chow rescue people in Minneapolis. I support charities that help people and animals in need. I love my deck where I can see the wild flowers that we have cultivated on my property. I wake up every day and appreciate the rain or the sunshine?not so much the snow.

So what would we do? Well there would be art fairs, galleries, and museums. There would be romantic comedies and drama. There would be dinners I cook and wine in front of the fireplace. There would be an intimate sharing of one's day. There would be friends and family. As my parents are deceased and I have no siblings, I would love to make your family mine. I like to do interior decorating, and no, I am not gay. We would travel. We would go out for Jazz, 50s and 60s music, and a symphony on occasion. Or we might play Scrabble in the park. We would maybe exercise together. And we would seek out ideas for healthy living.

Yes - I'm single, and yes I am looking. But looking for someone who enjoys being funny and having fun, but also serious at times needed. Also someone who wants to <<love and be loved>>, along with true respect, trust and loyalty.

I do have three kids who are very important to me and are my life, also I work outside the home and very dedicated to my job, but I'm not dedicated to the point to have it interfere with my life also.

I am looking for someone who likes to have fun and funny, but serious at the same time or when needed, someone who wants to be loved and love, along with true respect, trust and loyalty.

Also I enjoy going on trips and walks, fishing and camping and spending time outdoors along with indoors watching tv and movies.

Anything else you want to know let me know :)

Heyy, I'm Britney. :
I'm a very straightforward kind of person.
I'll be honest no matter what.
I tend to be kind of blunt at times.
I don't like to deal with unnecessary bullshit.
I'm certainly not mean though.
I just like to keep things chill and as
uncomplcated as possible because
I'm usually stressed as it is. haha.
I just think too much.
I'm very much a people person;
I can't really stand to be by myself.
If I associate with someone, i probably
care about them in some way.
I love helping people and being that one
that someone goes to when they need
advice or just someon to talk to.
I thrive from in-depth conversations.
needless to say, I talk alot. haha.
but I like to listen too.
I love meeting new people and
going out & just having a good time.

My name is Angie. I am 43 years old. I have been married and divorced twice. I have 5 children; 4 boys and 1 girl. Their ages are 23, 21, 16, 11 and 6. As you can imagine being a single mother my life pretty much is kids, kids, kids. I am very devoted to my kids but I have found I have lost my own identity lately. I would like to change that. I want to start making time for me. I love my kids but I need to finally get a life of my own. I love singing and would like to go out and do {karaoke}. I need to be someone other than a mother. While I do want someone to share my life with, I do have some expectations I need to have in the person I'm looking for that I cannot and will not compromise on. First, I want someone who understands my kids come first especially the youngest two. I want to find someone who is not intimidated by kids. Second, I want someone who is independent. They need to have a job, preferably full-time. They also need to be living on their own away from their parents. Third I want someone who doesn't drink a lot. Social drinking is okay just no drinking every day. Fourth, I want someone who doesn't do drugs. Fifth, I want someone who is honest. Honesty is my most important virtue. Sixth, I would prefer someone with their own vehicle. So those 6 things are my must-haves. I can't and won't negotiate on those. I also am not a shallow or superficial person and I would like my mate to be the same way. I believe there is so much more to a person than what is on the outside. I look at what's on the inside of a person not what they look like on the outside. I want someone to share my life with. I am not necessarily looking for marriage. I want to start out as friends and see where it goes. If you can fill my 6 expectations and like what you've read, please send me a message.

I love hanging out with my friends. Like going out or watching movies, etc. I have been dancing since i was 3 years old and i enjoy it very much. I love watching children they can bring so much joy into people's lives.

am a single dad of 2,24/7,(16girl,13boy) not much time for myself. i dont drink,, am hard working,have a lot of common sence, and am not real good at this...ok,next IF YOU DONT TAKE A CHANCE U WILL NEVER FINE OUT,, O yea my pic suck,and hair has been cut sence then,,,,,, well been here a while.guess because i dont b-s, or i put my kids first, i dont get any response, that ok tho

I like most things. I like the outdoors, and I am a homebody too, so its up for grabs.love can be lost in the rain. hope i can find that love.is there people on this site that feel the same way. i am a good man looking for a good woman. some one that will give and take as much as i will in the bad and in the good times.

I like to cook, fish, go to movies, concerts, walks, shoot pool, and enjoy mights at home.

Well my name is Scott, my friends call me ScottyD(short for Scotty dont or Scotty doesnt know after that blasphemous song T.T) im 20 years old and currently live in Machesney Park. I spend the majority of my time working and the rest of it playing video games. Im a bit of a freak when it comes to video games. I also enjoy reading and watching movies. I am a mechanic at a bowling alley. Its not the best job in the world but it pays the bills. I do play sports on occasion, so im not a complete nerd. I mainly bowl, which is how I got my job, but I also play baseball from time to time. I spend a lot of time surfing the internets. Newgrounds and roosterteeth are my favorite websites.

Well first off my names Mike, however I prefer my nickname Speed, which once you read further, and you're interested in me you can ask, and I'll tell you why. Also I talk fast, evidently I'm funny as hell, but can't see why, some may say I act like a kid, and others may say I show off, which I don't I simply just love to have fun. Now I love fighting, but then again i don't, when I punch someone I get a big smile on my face, but I prefer to avoid it. I've been into Martial Arts ever sense I was 3, and will be for the rest of my life, and joining the Army has always been a plan, also I love to workout, and I workout everyday, which sometimes is a problem, but that's me. I'm also a smart mouth, huge animal lover, I absolutely hate animal cruelty, and women beaters.

I also love anything dealing with computers, Parkour, I love vaulting jumping over objects, all the time, also enjoy skateboarding, my muscles as well lol (I flex a lot), I also love to dance, sing (depends on the moments), I don't read much, but I love to write poetry, I also enjoy rapping & singing, as well as any extreme sport.

I used to do a bunch of drugs in the past, coke, heroin, ecstasy, lcd, marijuana, pills, and so on, however I quit all that, and will never do it again, but I do drink alcohol, and smoke cigarettes.

Now don't bother asking me to view nude cam chat, nude chat, etc: cause to be honest I'll say no, which honestly you ask any bi, or straight guy, they really want to, but I'm not putting myself in that position, also I don't want people to think wrong about me as well, which is why I choose no. Although I do say perverted jokes though lol :D

whats up my names paul im 19 years old 5.6 feet tall. I work in construction I am also a musician I play guitar i have been playing for about 12 years now. I am currently in three bands I love music i prefer rock and metal but i like all. I like hanging out with friends going to movies and concerts. I like sports such as ufc, boxing, or kick boxing. I'm not shallow. I am a pretty open and understanding person. I don't like hurting people's feelings. I like making people feel good about themselves, unless your a complete ass. I enjoy long conversations. I love it when a girl is loud, outgoing and upnoxious, doing random silly shit.

I am very outgoing and like to try new things. I like to meet a girl I can have fun with and be in a serious relationship with. Having a good sense of humor is a must in other words you shouldn't take life to serious all the time. I don't need someone who is gonna sit there and play games either. If you take a chance with me you won't regret it. I love going to concerts and have been to many. I am a big sports fan.

Decided it was time to edit this P.O.S. profile, so here it goes

My Name is Dan, I'm a community college student, at the time of writing I am employed part-time at UPS of Rockford.

I tend to call myself a nerd, but I don't really like social-grouping, adds a layer of discrimination in evaluating new people

Carpe Diem translated from Latin means "seize the day", Its how I try to live my life. I like to consider myself a pretty outgoing guy, the type of person who can usually find a way to make anything fun. I try to constantly challenge myself to go outside my comfort zone.

Here's what I like to do; going out on random outings and road trips, hitting up bars/clubs with my friends, traveling "I've been to 3 countries and all around the states", skiing, wall climbing, watching movies, going to shows "concerts, stand-up, etc",

I think its very true that you can tell a lot by a person by who they choose the surround themselves with. Therefor I would very literally take a bullet for my friends because I know they would do the same for me.

As for the type of person I'm looking for, I don't think its possible to describe your personality in words. There are just too many quirks that can't be articulated. But if you think you're someone I might be able to get along and have a good time with then shoot me a line, we'll see what happens.

I am down to earth, laid back, have many hobbies or interests. easy to get along with, smoker, wears glasses, am skinny to some , like skinny ladies, rides motor cycles, don`t know what else to write.

Hi! I haven't written an essay yet because I joined OkCupid very recently. This space is where I'll express myself soon though. If you'd like to know more about me, please send me a message. This is the default essay OkCupid fills in for new users who haven't written about themselves yet.

Wow So about me? Not really good at talking about myself. I am a Carpenter. I build things. Mostly places where you go to school, work or when your sick. Good sence of humor. I'm pretty much good whereever I am doing whatever I am doing. Easily amused, and easily pleased.

I like cars, movies, board games, cards. And well pretty much a little bit of everything else.Theres really nothing I dont particularly like doing.

5'10" 220# white brown hair blue eyes glasses. Yes I'm a little overweight but I'm sure there is somebody out there who can see past that to my niceness and enjoy being with me.

So In order to achieve the goal of 100% profile completion I have to increase my profile to 1000 words. Since its been sometime since I updated my profile I'll start by saying Happy 2010 to all. Good day to you, Thanks for dropping by to take a peak or even say HI. I would prefer the latter but I understand if you're a bit shy. On the other hand, if you don't speak up or stand out you may never be noticed. So what have you got to loose? Well a little bit about me, I am up for just about anything one time maybe even more if it is really fun. Unless it ends me up in a holding cell or the morgue. LOL. I am about average height and weight of the vertically challenged but hey "good things come in small packages", right? So if you like to laugh and do it at just about everything and you're not concerned that you possibly could look down at me with heels on, just say HI. The rest should come naturally. Have a great day and Thanks again for stopping by ;~D

I'm a funny happy go lucky type.I like to go out and just have fun. I try to never take anything to seriously. My favorite quote is,"If you take life to serious you won't get out alive." I try to live that way. You can also find me as GrailBrokk on Yahoo Messenger.

Meine Deutsch ist nicht gut.

I'm a pretty easy going girl who's always up for an adventure whether it's planned or spontaneous. Always looking for inspiration and new adventures, whether it's exploring new places, trying new foods, listening to great music or snuggling to an old "B" movie. Being genuine and honest are high on my list and I expect it from my friends too. If you can't be honest about who you are, how can you expect to have a true friendship or relationship. That's what bonds us...isn't it?? It seems too many people are quick to say what they think everyone wants to hear, what a cop out. So I say live it the best you can, share it with the ones you love and hopefully with that one special person too. I have certainly found my group of friends and am still looking for more to join the cause...and especially that one who catches my eye and peaks my interests. Someone who can inspire, challenge and lead me to new paths or at least different ways of getting there.

Well im 25 and im taking some time off from school. I'm an easy going fun loving girl. If you get to know me im sure to make you laugh. Im not that jealous when it comes to a relationship but i do have some rules. I wont just let you walk all over me

Hello out there,If you;re looking for a model/beauty Queen it's not me. However if you like holding hands,conversing,cuddling
and just having fun then I hope you'll find me interesting. I love the spring,walking through the park.I like fishing,yes I even bait my own hook.I have been camping,(on the ground in a tent) and I think that was one of my best memories of childhood. I have 2 dogs,favorite color is blue. I like searching the clouds for pictures I can find.Favorite Holiday is Christmas.Yes I still believe in the olde Man himself. Talk to me if you can

i am a caring,kind and compassinate person...and looking to find that special lady..to complete my life and inturn i hope to complete hers..i have been divorced for 16 years and those years rasing my daughter who is now off to college..

At first I would say I'm kinda quiet but once you get to know me better, people find out I'm pretty outgoing and funny. I like to have a good time wherever or whatever I'm doing. I am an active person. I like to relax, but I hate just sitting around and doing nothing for hours on end. I love when its beautiful outside so then I can go for walks, go hiking or biking. I like being on the water in a boat or just swimming. I enjoy cooking, I enjoy it better when I have someone to cook for besides just me.
I don't do a lot of traveling, but I would love to some day. Every year I go to Tennesse to a lake with some friends for a week. I would really like to make it out to South Dakota, Wyoming, had a blast out there and its so beautiful.
I have played sports my whole life. I play for 2 soccer teams for indoor and outdoor. I enjoy playing volleyball and basketball, but I'll play anything for fun.

Hey, my name is Annie. I consider myself as being thoughtful, kind caring and down to earth. I like different kinds of music expect rap and heavy mental. I also like spending time with family, going to the movies, live concerts and theater, and I love to travel to different places whenever possible. I also like playing video games such as the Wii.

I'm looking for someone that is a Christian. I would like to find someone who is down to earth and likes spending time with his family. I'm also looking for a guy that knows what he wants out of life along with someone that can communicate and compromise when he is in a relationship. It would be nice to find a guy that lives with-in 30 miles of rockford.

Hello Everyoneâ?¦
I wanted you to know that I am many things to many people, a loving father of two, PC Tech, drummer, a good friend. So if you like dinning out, or a nice quite night in, snuggling watching a movie sharing a bowl of popcorn, going to the movies, plays, dancing, or just hanging out with friends contact me.

I am looking for that special person to spend my life with, to see her laugh, smile. To help enjoy the good days and be there for the rough days,

My name is Kristi. I have hazel eyes and long brown hair.

I rock at what I do(not trying to be arrogent, I get told this often). I just moved o Rockford and need a little help finding things to do. I like to be active by going golfing playing tennis, rollerblading, biking. I would love to try snowboarding. All these thing are super fun but they would be better if I could share the fun with someone.

I'm not the best at these things. Always worth a shot though.

I'm always caught daydreaming. Always off on some tangent of thought. Whether it be pondering the meaning of life, or just wondering what the weather is like.

I love to read, it's my escape from reality. Music is my life, I listen to almost everything, the only exception really, is rap.

I love art, photography, and playing guitar. I hope to finally get my General Education out of the way, so I can start working on getting a degree in Web Design. I know what I want to do with my life, and I'm making sure I do my best to see those dreams become reality. I want to make sure that I go somewhere, that I become someone.

Personality wise, I'm hopelessly romantic, sarcastic, witty, caring, completely random, and just like having a great time.

If there is anything else you might want to know, just ask.

Im an active guy whos on the prowl for a woman that loves to laugh and have fun. I love to stay fit, I love to box and help others get in shape. I like to swim and be outside. I snowboard in the winter a lot, the views are awesome and of course its just a lot of fun getting out and playing around in the snow. I love to laugh and have fun and look for the same in the opposite sex. A good personalty is a major turn on for me and of course being attractive is too. I'd be lying if I said it wasnt. I would hope that my match would be as friendly, positive and outgoing as I am. Even when life stinks I try to be light hearted, it makes things easier.

i'm a 19yo owned slave that is allowed to play with women... i'm seeking females in the Houston area to be friends with and maybe more... i like doing erotic RPG, anime, pics, and vids... i also love reading..

I'm that English girl with purple hair. I moved to Rockford six month ago, and so far I have: - been snowed on - been stared at by a ridiculous number of small children - been hurried away from by a ridiculous number of parents of said children - been totally ignored by all the men anywhere near my own age. Grr.

Update: delete the last whinge there! yay. And add a couple: - been taken out by a lovely guy who drove through a blizzard to get to me :D - been serenaded (thanks to the Pimps) - had a drink bought for me by a total stranger

Update again: Now it's hot and sunny, and I am a happy girl. I still have a car, and may soon have a new job (or two). I have two parents living in the same country again, for the first time in six years.

Things people should know:

I have an unfortunate affinity for good red wine. Unfortunate because I am a wine-smashed-kinda-girl. But I'm fun :p

I tend to set my search preferences to single male, not because I'm looking for sex, but because 1)I've been accused of 'flirting with my boyfriend' too many times for it to be funny any more (and I'm not doing it, dammit!) 2)I don't like people who are shallow, and despite believing men and women have as much potential as each other, in my (maybe limited but I don't think so) experience women tend to be more infatuated with nothing but looks/gossip/bitching. I do like a good gossip, and a good bitch, but it's soooo much more interesting if you actually KNOW personally the people you're gossiping about. Hence I find myself searching for single men.

I flirt. Not necessarily on purpose, but I do.

I am a 27 year old female, graduated from Eastern Illinois University with a degree in Family Services. I am very much family oriented. Would really like a relationship but really want a good guy who cares about me, has a job and supports himself at the very least, and lives close enough to come and see me. I am independent and have a job working with troubled girls with mental illness as a mental health councelor. I am working 2nd shift currently so it has been an adjustment to what I am used to. Friends are a high priority on my list just below my family.

I'm a bit of a dork. Not terribly bad, no Star Trek or anything, but I'm kinda geeky. I love my Mac (hence the dorkyness) and I love the arts. I'm a romantic at heart, really. I'm actually one of the few guys I know that not only isn't afraid of commitment, but is looking for it.

So now I have to add more to my self summary, huh? Let's see, where to begin...

I have a tendency to fall head over heels for the girls I date. This is probably a good thing as long as we're together, but generally makes for painful breakups, at least on my end. I can be pretty emo at times, but not always. I'd say I'm pretty middle of the road when it comes to sensitive, not too much, not too little...maybe I lean more towards too much actually, but it's not too bad.

I've had lots of jobs in my life, and moved around a lot, growing up my mother's joke was that when cobwebs appeared in the corners it was time to move.

Jobs: â?¢ Busboy â?¢ Lighting designer for a museum â?¢ Security at said museum â?¢ Special Events Coordinator at the museum â?¢ Tram Driver at a zoo â?¢ Pizza Delivery â?¢ Boat Driver in the Army (yes, the Army has boats) â?¢ Server/bartender (number of places) â?¢ Bouncer â?¢ Graphic Designer â?¢ 2 weeks as a telemarketer (horrible)

Homes, in order: â?¢ Chelmsford, MA â?¢ North Chelmsford, MA â?¢ Concord, MA â?¢ Oak Ridge, TN â?¢ Montgomery, OH (2 places) â?¢ Oak Ridge, TN (2 places) â?¢ Knoxville, TN (4 places) â?¢ Virginia Beach, VA â?¢ Chicago, IL (3 places) â?¢ Camden, ME â?¢ Chicago, IL (2 places, with a new one coming this spring)

Hi, I am Jamie! I dont have a religion cause I am not into that. I live right near Chicago. I like to have fun, when I can. i work alot. I am not really sure what I am looking for. But i will find out eventually. if you sound or look interesting then i will probably send you a little message and tell you so. Or if you write me then I might get back to you.

I find myself at a crossroad, and am here temporarily. So I figure I will look for some people to talk with to pass the time. I spend most of my day trying to find work, seeing as I just got here, and the rest being with my kids. I am a gamer if I have the time, or a couch potato if I don't have any energy left.

45 years old, divorced, I have 1 daughter who is 25. And a new Grandson. I have a great job, great home, and good friends and family. I love the outdoors, especially in spring, and summer. I love to walk, ride bikes, and take long drives to no where in particular. I have a big heart, and a large build. I love music, all types, especially 70 & 80's rock

I'm very pleased to say I've just finished my Associate's degree, and I'm planning to go on for my bachelor's asap (probably not until summer, though.) Yeay, education!

Ok, I'm single (uh, I guess that's sort of a 'well, duh' statement, but nonetheless...) with no children. I very much want children, but I am going to be very honest and point out I don't want someone else's children. In other words, if you have kids, i wish you the best, but I'd really not be interested.

All right, I guess this is where I get to be a little brutally honest (or maybe this is just me being a tad self-indulgent.) I have a pretty clear idea of what I want from my life, and I'm really frustrated that I'm years behind on my so-called schedule. However! The fact that I feel like I'm getting back on track is good. If you have the patience to hang on through these trials, I like to think I'm worth hanging onto. I really want someone who has some semblance of a plan, too. I guess. I mean, who really knows what they want and actually expects to get exactly that? It seems unrealistic to me, no matter how particular I come across. The last time I thought I had something I wanted, well, it turns out he had other plans in the long-term. So, I'm just putting it out there: I'm not here for BS. If you're really ready to step through the door into the next part of your life, I'm down with that. I'm not the doormat in between, though.

I love languages and seem to have a pretty strong affinity for learning them. My ultimate intention is to study psychology and possibly teaching languages. I speak French reasonably well, mais pas du tout parfaitment, and I've learned a smattering of Scottish Gaelic (gu dearbh!) I miss studying them both.

I love to travel, but I don't get to escape nearly often enough for my taste. I like road trips, flying, and whatever other means works to get me away for a bit. Anything for a change of scenery!

I guess I'm pretty introspective. I can't do anything without analyzing it do death first. Whether that's a good or a bad thing I'll leave you to decide. The older I get, the more I realize and am forced to admit I'm pretty old-fashioned where relationships are concerned. I have absolutely no desire to be Donna Reed, or anything, but the whole white picket fence ideal does have a mysterious appeal.

Also, just fyi, I have a habit usually of not using capitals. Thus the inconsistency in this profile; I tend to forget them even when I'm intending to look reasonably intelligent. It's one way I (inadvertently) keep myself on my toes.

I am a small town girl that misses the small town feel. I love to be with my family and friends. I love to have a good time, but I also know when I need to be serious. I am a talkative person that loves to make people smile and laugh. I work in a hospital and I love my job. I enjoy dancing, playing sports, taking photographs, playing board games, and cuddling on the couch in front of a good movie. I am willing to try new and interesting foods, activities, etc. The more interestingthe better. I also enjoy horseback riding, getting muddy and just having a great time wherever I am. I have a great job, a good family, a good group of friends, a roof over my head and a decent car. Now I am looking for someone special to share this all with. I have been hurt in the past, but I am looking forward to the future with someone that can laugh, take jokes,and is a honest, dependable, fun loving, and well rounded individual that knows how to treat a person with respect and care. Hope to hear from you soon :)

Hey, how's it going? My name is Cliff, and I was born and have lived in Rockford my whole life. I am very easy going, and down to earth. Im a very blue jeans and t-shirt kind of guy. I dont take things too serious, and laugh off the bad things. It is hard to write about ones self. I mean if you can explain all about youself in a few lines, then that isnt much of a person, and would you want to get to know them, let alone anything else, I mean this is a dateing site after all.

Well my main goal in life, is just to be happy. That and to do nothing, haha. If you have ever seen Office Space, then you know what Im talking about. But at this point about the only way to be happy and not do anything is to win the lotto, haha, good luck on that one. What Im looking for on here, is a nice woman that I can hang out with and get to know and see where things go. I like animals, I have two cats, I like the outdoors, I like all sports. I have my own home, which isnt in a shitty part of town, haha.

I like; bowling, playing pool, shooting darts, having coffee at borders, going to concerts, people watching, Da Bears, having a couple of drinks (had to bracket drink, haha), catching a movie, going to the Icehogs, texas hold em, the Cubs, walking around the mall, UFC, video games, and a whole lot of other stuff I cant think of.

I think its kinda odd that they say on here that a person should up load pics of tats or pets or anything other then their face. I think that is kinda weird. I mean isnt your pet or tat a part of you? It is something that makes you you. I mean even if you posted a picture of a sunset or a work of art that you like. That says something about you. Then if someone sees the same work of art or something else that they like, they would know they have something in common.

I was just looking at my profile, and it says Im aggressive, cocky, ill mannered, a pesamist, and it didnt even say anything about the fact I cant spell for nothing, haha. I didnt know a person that was self hateing and had low self esstem could be cocky, haha. Maybe I am cocky, to make up for the fact, that I have low self esstem, haha. Aggressive... Im not sure about that one, not like I steal candy from babies, or mug mofos. Ill mannered? I didnt know cussing so much a sailor would blush, spitting, and picking your nose (only when people arent around) would make one ill mannered, haha. As for less optimistic, I think of myself more as a realist. I mean you watch the news, you see all the evil stuff that happens every where all the time. They dont show the people doing good stuff to help people, because that doesnt make for rateings.

It also says Im kinky and desireing of sex... well... duh... I could of told you that, haha. So I like things a little more then vanilla, and I like it more then once a year, haha. I mean Im not a sex addit or a slut, man I wish I was a slut, haha. Yet I believe in monogamy, even if it is with a friends with benifit situation or what not. I was just looking though the personality icon glossary, and Im surprised I dont have a couple of the things listed in there. I guess thats what I get for answering so many questions, haha.

Hi! I haven't written an essay yet because I joined OkCupid very recently. This space is where I'll express myself soon though. If you'd like to know more about me, please send me a message. This is the default essay OkCupid fills in for new users who haven't written about themselves yet.

A 46 year old plump smoker who is trying to change both and looking for a job so I can have a life back, but all in all, I'm a nice person with humor and without mental disabilities, I don't turn colors, spiin my head and puke green stuff. I love garage sales, auctions, and used merchandise stores almost as much as sex. , Like Coffee just the old fashioned way before Starbucks and Java blah blah blah. Just Black and some sugar. Speak my normal english (and Spanish too) but have no interest in learning the "new" vocab like, "my 'go to' lunch" and 'go to' this and 'go to' that, or 'fabulicious' or 'fantabulous.' Not a huge socializer but I do love people, don't drink, but don't mind sipping socially, like to dance but no good at it. Love a good movie, animals, drives and being in the woods. Like to fish but only catch snags, love camping. Have an associate degree in computer networking which is doing me no good, please hire me as your secretary. Like real people because I'm one. Love to write and don't want to grow up. Love life even though it has been pretty snotty to me lately. That's me.

hey im bri. im 20 and i have a 21 month old daughter. im a denver broncos and michigan state fan. and i love the summer. candles. coloring books. nancy grace. tori and dean. bonfires. cook outs.

Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile!
I am Jon.
I love to cook, travel, and have fun. I make a mean fried butter bannana with orange sauce. I read constantly, and am learning new languages.

Where to begin. . . I am an automotive enthusiast. I love working on cars. The more tools I need and the bigger the mess I get to make the more fun!

I've been working as an engineer for about two years now since I graduated. Besides working on cars I also like researching on the internet(whatever I find interesting that day), biking, hiking and playing guitar or drums. I also love going out to eat and seeing movies at the theatre.

After living in Denver for five years as a freelance audio mixer, shooter, and editor for national cable programs and networks I moved back to Illinois to be close to my father during his illness.

I'm not the typical alpha male, and am most certainly a bit askew from the typical man's man. I not a huge fan of sports, though I've been at the World Series, on the field for NFL games, and in locker rooms for the NBA. My work in the media has afforded me some interesting experiences, and for the last four years I've not had a "real" job. Frankly, I think I would go a bit mad having a 9 to 5 job at this point in my life, but then again I'd do that if it meant having to pay the bills.

Even though I've work in television, I don't watch much of it, and I'm not one to revel in pop culture or reality television. I'm a coffee snob as well, and you'll not get me to drink a Starbucks. I'd rather support local roasters, and baristas that actually care about making a good coffee and espresso.

I could blather on further, but I'll save that for another time. If you want to know more just write or ask.

My name is Jake, and that Jingle Hiemert Shmidt fucker does not have my name too! Suriously! yes that is spelt how I said it. I'm really laid back, I seriously don't care that the flutter of wings could change the course of history. Life is too short to worry so much. I'm patient, but not patient enough to watch golf. If you try to walk the labyrinth of my thoughts you'll probably run into my minotaur, if your name is Theseus then back off! I like to think that I have my own theoretical box to think inside of, outside of, on top of, hell even straddling it. I'm cursed to always finish last due to a proverbial character detail... (To be added to later)

I'm a complicated girl so if that scares you...run away now. :p I'm interested in psychology, sociology, fitness/nutrition, music, anime/manga, drawing, poetry, art, and reading. Growing up I was in gymnastics, softball, and became a black belt in Tae Kwon Do - so I'm no stranger to sports.

I love to laugh, to have fun, but I'm also serious about my life and trying to understand it. :)

Im 31. Im a very loving, caring person. Im the father of a great 5 year old boy. Im into cars and have built my own drag car. Im into music of all kinds, like to go to concerts. I enjoy spending time outdoors. Like going to the dragstrip to watch and run. Like going to the movies but im just as happy staying home watching a good dvd with someone next to me. Like to occasionally go to the bars and enjoy going out to dinnner.

Where to start.. I'm a very easy going guy, with a great sence of humor. I live my life day to day, never take anything to seriously, and try to have a good time while im here!

For the last couple years I've been extremely busy with work, so meeting new people is challenging to say the least.. Now that I have time to myself, the search is on! Not into the bar scene, especially in the Rockford area, I'll go on occassion, but that's about it. I know that our options are limited for activities in Rockford, creativity is key! There are several places to catch live theater, or comedy night, different museums.. I actually like living around here though, we are central to Chicago, Madison, Milwaukee and the Mississippi River, so within an hour, there is always something to do. Catch a Cubs, or Brewers Game, Riverboats on the Miss, Michigan Ave for some shopping anyone ?

Nothing beats a challenging conversation. I have the ability to carry on an intelligent conversation.. Someone who can make me think a little is always a plus !

I'm really in to music, pretty much any genre, as long as it's good music.. I sing all the time, and if I do say so myself, im pretty damn good. I'm the guy you see at target, walking around signing away, without a care in the world. I don't care where I am, if im in the mood, I'll just start singing, not super loud, or obnoxiously, mostly to myself, but definitely loud enough to hear if you are in the same aisle as me.

I have a ton of different destinations that I would like to see in the near future.. Traveling has been bred into me, my family traveled quite a bit when I was young, but there are always new places to see.. I've seen quite a bit of this country, would love to see the world though. I want to see Europe and New Zealand, in the near future ..

I am looking for someone who knows her own definition. Someone who knows what she wants out of life and knows generally how she's going to get it, but would like to find someone to enjoy the ride with ? Make sense ? My ideal woman, would be down to earth, well grounded, beautiful, and have a fantastic sense of humor. She'd be able to hold an intelligent conversation, flowing from one subject to another. She would have an opinion and be able to express it. A free personality is a must...... I love to laugh and screw around, it's all in good fun. I believe that being playful, and fun keeps us young.

I'm 40 and a father of 3 boys (4, 10, 13) who are the most important thing in my life. One minute they make me laugh the next they're driving me crazy, but I love them dearly and wouldnâ??t change a thing. I'm simple, easy going, and honest. A little on the quiet side at first, but I have a great personality and sense of humor once you get to know me. I'm not looking for someone who wants to change me or who wants to change for me.
I donâ??t need a lot of things; itâ??s all just stuff. Donâ??t get me wrong, I enjoy some of that stuff, but, it doesn't define who I am and if it all went away I would still be me. The only thing I need to be happy are my boys. I have had my share of hurdles to overcome lately, regardless, I don't let things bother me and I never stay mad. You can't change what's happened and once it's over it is in the past. There is no reason to worry about something you can't change or be hung up on the past. Life is a state of mind and it's all good for me.
I like being outdoors. I camp, fish, hunt, boat, hike, and ride horses. Iâ??d like to try rock climbing and maybe start scuba diving again this summer. I love anything that I do with my boys, whether it's playing catch, wrestling, or tickling them until they can't stand it. I like most music except for rap. Iâ??m most comfortable in blue jeans and a t-shirt, but can dress up if needed. I love my job. I get to work with people and travel around the country.
If I seem at all interesting to you give me a shout. Who knows it could turn into something great. There's nothing to lose. If not I wish you luck in your search. Also, I am not looking for anyone who is married

I am a single mom and a full time student in the legal field. I am down to earth, I dont like high maintenance, dramatic people who play games. I like being out doors, and having adventures. I like to drink, play cards, do cook outs, have bon fires, and go to tractor pulls! I am a country girl...some say hillbilly at heart. lol I take my schooling very serious, but I like to have fun with life, and live every moment to the fullest. I am a huge sports fan; watching, attending, and playing. I am a die hard Wisconsin sportster...packers, badgers, brewers!! I know-dont judge me lol

Hey I'm Michael I'm planning in attending some college fall of 2010. I enjoy music and going to concerts and just hanging with friends. I love talking and texting. In college I would love to pursue a double major in teatre education and english so I plan on bring a high school English and theatre teacher focusing in tech theatre. There is probably more I should say but can't think of anything at the moment. If you have any quesions just ask I love answering questions!

Hi my name is Chris, I am looking for a good honest girl. I moved from Milwaukee to Rockford a few months ago and well here I am looking. I love to go for walks and meeting new people, I find myself talking to random people at parties and new locations all the time. Some people call me outgoing and some call me really energetic, but overall I love meeting new people. :-) I went to school for Marketing and Sales Management, I just got my dream job which is what caused me to move down to Rockford. I must admit I do enjoy working but I also love being with the people I love, sometimes I wish I could just stay in on a snowy day and cuddle in bed. Some ways to describe me would be, energetic, loving, caring, happy, outgoing and smart. I enjoy learning new things especially cooking, I really enjoy baking brownies and other goods. Some of my favorite things to do are going for walks and enjoying life. I really enjoy showing the girl I am with how much they mean to me, from a simple text message to flowers and a card. If you feel we are a good match send a Wink ;-)

Contact me if:
I am looking for a girl who can cook and show affection in any situation, also someone who loves my randomness here and there. I tend to find myself doing random things, from singing randomly to funny moments. I would love a girl who can be thrown into my family and keep rolling.

I work a full time job and am currently considering returning to school for a management degree. I have a few good friends, but am currently looking to change things up a little in my life. I have variable interests, but since most of the time I'm up late at night while my friends are all asleep I study, watch DVDs, or play video games. I currently have a cat who lives with me and keeps me company. I like music, and most all things creative, but have a tendency to relax with logical things like puzzles.

I have been divorced for 6 months and am looking for someone to enjoy my company. Miss the companionship and being able to talk about anything. I love relaxing and hanging out at home as well as enjoying a night out. I have 2 daughters (ages 9 and 5) that live with me and visit their father every other weekend. Working full time and raising the girls keeps me busy but sometimes that is just not enough. I need adult time too!
