Markfoxartist, 65

I’m a nice guy with a good job, but I’m also a real man living in a real world with enough skeletons in my closet to stock a graveyard. I curse and drink and have a dark sense of humor. I work at home and make good money, but I’m in debt up to my eyeballs and fighting to get out of it. And I will get out of it. Truth is, my long-term financial prospects are quite bright, but I’m no Prince Charming and I can’t give anyone a perfect, white picket fence world with French champagne and Italian vacations.

In most ways I’m a tree-hugging liberal and proud of it. So if you’re a fan of Bill O’Reilly or Rush Limbaugh, our chances of being a match are zero. On top of that, I’m a very busy guy. I have a lot of projects in my life and I’m very ambitious for an old dude. I’m artistic and creative and passionate and I have a lot of stuff to produce before I kick back or kick the bucket.

So I hope you have as much going on in your life as I do in mine. Your life should be rich and fulfilling and interesting on its own and not dependent on anyone else. This should be important to you, not just me. I'm looking for a partner who is ready to enhance her already-rich life by getting to know someone who is ready for the same thing.

I believe the best way to get through tough times is with a sense of humor. I like to laugh as much as anyone and I laugh a lot, even after going through the ugliest divorce in the history of man. My divorce is just another skeleton in my closet that I don’t need to drag out right now.

Well, if I haven’t scared you off yet, then maybe we have something in common. I'm looking for a natural chemistry with my partner and we’ll know if it’s there after the first date. If it isn’t, then hey it was fun (or maybe not), and we move on with our lives. I’m not desperate to h--k up with anyone, but in the event that my kindred spirit is haunting the shallow waters of this site, I am sending out my beacon to call you home.
