Hello there! Wit and sarcasm? Intelligent conversation? What, You want everything?! I mean, I tell ya, when it comes down to it...stripping down a relationship for what it really is-is sex! 2 or 3 times a weekly-otherwise you risk the break-up. Of course, I'm speaking from experience. Not that I'm bad in bed. Far from it! But conversation? The last girl I was with wound up going back to her previous long-term boyfriend. It turns out she was being truthful to me-it wasn't really over with the guy. After the few months of all the intelligent conversation and fun talk and all of the sex we had, what did I get for it? Being used. I mean, isn't what men are supposed to do to women? Not me! My point is here is this-how I can do anything of things you say you want until I meet you in person and get to know you a little bit. I can't automatically have an intelligent, witty conversation...as if I'm on remote control! I can be fun, I can be flirtatious. I like doing many of things you mention-especially hiking. But I gotta get into it-slowly. I'm not trying to bring you down. After all,you look very nice in that picture. Sort of look like "here I am...come and get me!" Which I like of course. Well, you said to have a reason for responding! Like I said, conversation comes hard to me. Doesn't mean I don't have anything intelligent to say. Maybe I should explain. You see, being the youngest in my family,I've had the priviledge(sarcasm) of listening to my six older brothers and sisters talk bulls--t(wit) for many, many years. So maybe you can understand...well let's just say that I'm at a loss at times for something to say. Meeting people/girls for the first time and coming up with something to say-a good line- is difficult for me. For so many years all I've wanted is a girl who can be my friend. Somebody who I could talk to, open up to, get into arguments with, have sex with, go on out-of-state trips, maybe do some camping, skiing...well it's been a couple of years since I've done that. In short, someone to hang out with. I was told by my last girlfriend I wasn't ugly(I guess that means that I'm not good looking either). She like my broad shoulder look, though I'm not muscular. Got brown short wavy hair, avg. height(5'11") and I'm pretty good at foreplay(so she said). I can make you happy, whatever your name is. I can be good to you. Even if it is just hangin' out. By the way, I work in a library. If you were not interested in any of this and me for that matter...can I at least help you find a good book to read?
