I always end up shocking people when they find out certain things about me that seem strange to them, or seem odd for somebody like me to do or enjoy. But, I think that everyone should enjoy a large variety of activities, interests, topics, hobbies, etc. Also, my hidden talents always seem to come in handy eventually, and it is good to be knowledgeable in a variety of areas. Here is the detailed breakdown of my interests, hobbies, talents, and adversely my dislikes too.
I play guitar. I started taking lessons at the age of twelve, and continued to do so until I was sixteen. I played in a few different bands through my teens, and then gave the guitar a rest for the most part until a year or two ago. I got back into playing and creating my own original tunes, after one night when all of a sudden a random jam session broke out at one of my buddies house, and I remembered how much I enjoyed playing guitar, and creating music. Musically I enjoy classic rock, hard rock, and metal. All the way from Jimi Hendrix to Lamb of God. Lately, the heavier the better.
I write fiction and non-fiction literary pieces of various styles. I like to write poetry, I like to write satire, and I even like to write non-fiction pieces on various topics and subjects with my own sarcastic and out-spoken touch. Conversely, I am not much of an avid reader, I get bored incredibly easily, therefore, i enjoy reading poetry mostly.
I draw and have begun painting too. I have always loved to draw, usually pen and ink or pencil. And, recently, I have ventured into painting with oil and acrylic mediums as a new way to express my artistic needs. I am a pretty talented at drawing, however, painting has proven to be a challenge much more difficult than I had first believed. But, I am improving....
I create pottery and sculptures. I love creating pottery and ceramics using an auto wheel or a kick wheel, and also creating free standing pieces without using a wheel. I started in high school, and grew to love this art form very quickly. I have a huge collection of pieces I have created throughout the years. One day, I would like to own an art studio open to the public and host classes there as well. It would have painting and drawing area, a pottery area with wheels, a dying station, and a kiln, and various tables for sculpting, and creating other artforms. Also, it would include an area for photography with a dark room for developing photographs.
I am a wonderful chef. Cooking is one of my favorite things to do. I love to create delicious meals, and I love to watch others enjoy the meals that I have created. I worked in restaurants from fourteen until I graduated college, and those were the most fun years of work I experienced to date. I really wish I took the offer to run the pizza shop after graduating college instead of taking the corporate route. But, maybe omeday I will go back into the restaurant biz. There are only two foods I absolutely dislike, Mustard and Cooked Peas. Even the sight of mustard or the familiar bright yellow container in which mustard is contained, are enough to make me gag. And, as for the peas, the texture of cooked peas, is just gross in my opinion. Fresh green peas on the other hand, are quite enjoyable.
I can sew, I can do carpentry, masonry, and some electrical work. I love building things. Strangely enough, I know absolutely nothing about vehicles or anything that runs on an engine. And, this isn't due to lack of desire, I just have never had the tools or knew anyone who could teach me the skills. It isn't very smart experimenting in a new field when the result could be your only form of transportation no longer working. Although, now that I have my business in order, and more free time and capital to play with, I am contemplating the idea of purchasing a motorcycle, and I think my buddy will be glad to take me under his wing and teach me everything I need to know about servicing, repairing, improving, etc. motorcycles. Not only do I lack any skills or knowledge of motor vehicle repair, but I can not drive a standard car, nor can I ride a manual gear vehicle of any kind (atv, motorcycle, etc.) It upsets me, but I never really had the need to learn, nor the money to just go out and buy something without already knowing how to use it.
I am extremely knowledgeable in nutrition, physical training (weight training, fitness, and kinesiology) and enjoy working out very much. I have three powerlifting records at SUNY Cortland. And, was an avid bodybuilder for most of my teenage and early adult life. Unfortunately, the last few years have been a little rough on my body and the pain has made working out a thing of the past. But, recently, I have begun to slowly get back into the gym and hopefully can get the body back I once had.Also, I have trained numerous individuals with a variety of goals and have helped every one of them achieve that goal. I have done this strictly for friends and never for payment or anything in return, other than seeing someone accomplish their goals with my help. That is payment enough.
I am interested in history in general (specifically ancient society,myth and religion, and the history of organized crime) I collect coins, paper currency, and silver and gold buillion. Antique books, and other items of historical importance.
I don't enjoy watching sports (except occasionally live hockey, lacrosse, or rugby games). I don't really watch television I don't have a favorite tv show that i watch every week at a specific time, and plan my schedule around. (I do have a large list of movies I enjoy) I try to stay busy doing something. anything really, I get bored very easily, and my mind is always running at full speed, so I tend to try and keep it distracted with various hobbies and activities. Likely, why I have so many different and odd talents and hobbies. But, these are my interests, hobbies, activities, talents, and dislikes.

Lack of Local Females

I know that a lower population will invariably lead to less instances of local members, however, the lack of local females is staggeringly low! I can't imagine that their is a lack of single females looking for a partner in this area, even though the population as a whole is lower than your average city., I have seen my competition, and I must say that I am not very impressed, nor do I feel threatened in situations where a female has caught my attention and I am not the only available male in the room. The competition I have encountered actually has done wonders for my self esteem and self confidence. I am also not stating that I am the most attractive man in the area, or have the sexiest body either. Although, I do think I am fairly attractive, and have an above average body (as long as you find muscular men attractive) What I am saying, is that, overall, I feel that I am an above average candidate for a prospective partner. I am shocked at the lack of personality and intelligence of the other men I come across in social areanas. I think that you should be able to at least hold an intelligent conversation with a woman, or even just another human being for that matter, if you even think you have a shot at a female. The stupidity of some of the people I encounter is actually sad. I wonder what went wrong in the scheme of things that led to their lack of intelligence and social skills. Who were their school teachers? Didn't they have any positive role models or other human interaction that taught them something so simple as how to have an intelligent conversation? Maybe, I am just to harsh in my critique, or rather, it isn't their lack of intelligence, but instead they just are attempting to discuss the wrong topics. Reasonably speaking, certain topics discussed by even an intelligent person could appear to be lacking intelligent thought. For example, debating over what length of time it took the Duck Dynasty cast members to grow their above average length beards, would likely seem to lack intelligence by an onlooker. I am a very talkative person, and I am also very sociable. I find it very easy to strike up conversation about pretty much any subject with pretty much any person that I encounter, male or female. To me, that is just common sense and something that shouldn't be a special feature, I believe that everyone should be able to communicate and discuss their thoughts, opinions, and ideas with other human beings in a social setting without much effort. Furthermore, I am a confident person physically and mentally. But, I am careful to not go so far in my confidence to come off as cocky or arrogant. I have been noticing a lot of guys in my local hang outs acting like exceedingly arrogant assholes. And, in my opinion, this just makes them look utterly ridiculous. I guess I missed where and when these people suddenly became the greatest thing to grace God's green Earth. Especially since, I have known many of these, newly found cocky, individuals for many years, and only recently have they displayed a new found arrogance. I cannot count the number of people I have encountered who I have heard bragging about their MMA fighting skills and how they are training harder than ever, and they have some big upcoming fight, and it is going to be amazing, and no one should miss it because they are going to be the next big thing. I have even had someone go as far as offer me ticketss to their upcoming fight (three seperate occasions) to which I am almost positive none of which ever took place. Yet, if you ask him, or you simply let him talk long enough, he will more than likely explain in detail all three fights, the fact that he won, and who and where his next fight will be. Strangely enough, I have not once seen this individual at the gym, where he supposedly trains, nor, has he once had a bruise or mark following these so-called fights, or even more damning, these tickets I have been promised three times now, somehow never seem to be available if I suddenly show an interest or ask for one, oh and then there is the fact that not one person I know has ever seen this individual fight anyone, anywhere, ever! Yet, I guarantee if you ran into this individual in a bar tomorrow night, and strike up a conversation, you will undoubtedly hear about his involvement with MMA. Another topic that I find to be a popular fairy tale told throughout the social arena regards their careers or financial status. I don't understand why people find it so entertaining to discuss their work in detail, and the state of their finances. I rarely have found my own job exciting or entertaining, I wouldn't discuss it with others when trying to entertain or hold their attention. Bragging is just bad mojo. It goes with the cocky disclaimer stated above, and sad attempts of insecure individuals to display a sense of value to others. Unfortunately, even if everything they are talking about is true, and they honestly have an amazing job and make a large amount of money. That is not really a topic that reveals your personality or catches the attention of someone you are trying to snare, unless you just want to attract someone out to hook a big fish (money hungry). In which case, brag on about your career and your wealth, because you can have all the money hungry, status obsessed females looking for someone to support themselves and their expensive tastes. I am looking for someone who I can have an intelligent and/or interesting/exciting conversation with, experience new things or thins that we similarly enjoy, and just simply enjoy someone else's company. If either of us cannot keep the other interested mentally, as well as, excite or entice each other physically, then a relationship of any kind is out of the question. Will I hook up with someone who is attractive, but does not engage me mentally, quite possibly (especially if there is alcohol involved) but, don't expect a follow up phone call or second date. Therefore, with the huge amount of lying, dishonest, and arrogant males, and an equally high number of males lacking personality, intelligence, and adequate social skills, It shouldn't be hard for a fairly attractive, sociable, intelligent, individual to pick up an equally attractive, sociable, intelligent female. But, for some reason, unless I am physically in the presence of a woman I seem to have almost zero luck. How can I be so incredibly successful in person, and have absolutely zero luck with any form of online experience? I have not yet found the explanation for this conundrum. But, I know that it can't be that the other males I am competing with are that much better looking, more intelligent, more interesting, and more desirable. If that were the case, then I would have this problem in real-life scenarios as well. For some reason, I am just not online friendly, or online attractive. I have a feeling it is that my personality appears one way in person, but online it comes off in a negative way. My confidences exudes arrogance, and my free-spirited open minded beliefs and views possibly express being rude, vulgar, or sexist. Either way, as long as I can still succeed in social settings. my online failings will remain just a mystery for me to solve.... and hopefully overcome.

Not Having the Greatest Luck

I am not a patient person, sometimes that words to my advantage and sometimes it leads to insignificant things driving me nuts. For example, I have been a Gold Member on this site for two full days now. And, I hate to admit it, but I have spent far more time on this site than I should be, or at least in my opinion. The problem I am having is I am manic and I bore so easily that the lack of actual interaction is starting to drive me nuts, and is making me wonder what is wrong with me???? In person, and in public situations I am always popular, catching peoples attention, and being approached by members of the opposite sex. I honestly think, it is the fact that in person you can read so much more about a persn than through a picture and a bunch of info that could be true or completely fantasy. In person, I am a confident, kind of loud talking, sarcastic, humorus to most people, except probably the victims of my ball busting, and I think this aura that I exude in person is just lost through web space. I tried expressing my self to the fullest in my profile, and include pics hat I felt illustrate my confidence and fun loving nature. However, I havce had minimal interaction with almost anyone in two full days, and I am not sure the answer to this at the moment. I am hoping that the problem lies in the fact that I personally have not reached out to any members through private messagfes, yet. I have flirted with a few members and sent out numerous friend requests, posted a blog, posted a couple magazine articles, created a poll, created a group for local singles, and most of this I did out of boredom, but also, I was hoping that getting all of this materal on the website woulid increase my visibilty. Also, the other issue I am experiencing is that it seems members that are viewing me and hotlisting me all seem to be from extremely far away places. And, I know that the percentagfe of people from other places is much greater than the small percentage of members that live reasonably close to where I reside However, I would think that people that did reside in the general vicinity would be searching for, browsing, and contacting the people closest to them first and foremost. But, maybe I am just over analyzing how things have progressed, as like I stated before, it has only been two full days. The final issue that I am experiencing is it seems the male members of this website seem to have developed a cult following of me. I have recieved more flirts, messages, and views from males than from members of the opposite sex. I was a little worried at first that I may have marked the wrong box when creating my profile, but when I double checked I reliazed that it was correct, and it states that I am a straight male looking for women. Therefore, I do not understand when the male members think that I would be interested in them I mean I am flattered having anyone think I am attractive, but a male telling me this, will never result in anything other than a thank you. and I am not here to just have my ego boosted. I would actually enjoy some real interaction. With that being said, gentlemen I appreciate your compliments but i am strictly interested in women, thanks for the compliments but I don't see me changing my sexual orientation any time in the future. Well, hopefully my luck will turn around soon, but at lest i had some old fashioned interaction last night with an old flame..... That kind of made up for the two days spent aimlessly surfing around on this site with little to no results. haha. I am still optimistic though, and I know good things will always come..... Dueces till later
