Ha ha... you guys thought I was kidding...
Seriously now.. I am slowly re-entering the dating circle.
So, dear list, here's my bio:
33 years old
5' 10''
180 lbs
short blond hair (military hair cut), blue eyes
2 children, son 3.5, daughter 9.5
Located in St. Paul, MN
Artistically inclined with a bent towards the romantic. Hobbies, besides
the obvious, cycling, weightlifting, reading, photography, soccer, kayaking,
and hiking. Don't do football, basketball, binging on beer, remote-hogging,
or watching much TV for that matter. I'm a family-minded man who does his
own laundry, cooking, cleaning, as well as children's.
I've been told I'm "kinda cute," whatever the heck that means, and I've even
been called "handsome." Ok, sometimes by my Mom, by women called me that
too.
I'll exchange a few photos with the ladies, and I'll even include a picture
of my '85 Westy, aka "Da Luv Box." Willing to travel reasonable distance to
meet.
Thanks again,
Chris.
