Mountain Home's Local Dating Service

I want to mention that I'm poly (polyamorous)If you are turn you off, my apologies but .I thrive on excitement. I'm lovable, passionate, helpful and very open about everything im into and with. Im also very honest about who i am with and what i do and enjoy. I dont hide or lie about anything. i hate lieing and dont like it in others. I also enjoy a wide range of activities. I love movies. It all depends on if it looks good. I also enjoy going to museums and anything history. When I want to relax, I like going out for a few drinks and shooting pool. Iâ??m into all genres of music, from christian to pop to rap to even rock.

Well my name is Emily, I live in Dayton with my dad for now, i plan on going to college in the fall. I want to be a DNR officer. I also want to get my CDL. I would love to drive a truck. I work part time at Dollar General (I know, not exactly the most exiting place to work, but moneys money..lol). When I'm not working I'm usually at my grandparents place helping out with the farm work or riding my horse...I also love hanging out with my friends, we always find something crazy to do!
I'm pretty much always up for anything...I love being outside...I like to stay active! I'm a country girl so I'm really into hunting, fishing, camping, working on my truck (not that I know much about it, but I'm learning) you know hick stuff lol...I also like riding fourwheelers, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, anything that goes fast :)....Just staying home and relaxing in front of the TV or watching movies is always good to...

just a country girl trying to find my better half...no drama here, love animals, dancing, playing cards...just seeing what's out there!!!

I am a self employed business person, set in my ways (always adjustable). I tell people that I am more into things that are nice rather than nice things.

I have 1 son and two daughters. My son and one daughter are my business partners, my youngest daughter lives in another state.

I live on a farm. I love animals, have had in the past horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, dogs and cats. My only daughter (15) lives with me. A ltr would be nice, but if it does not work that way that is fine too! I like to read , and also write short stories. I am on track to retire in a couple of years and then I would like to travel.

My name is Jason. I was taken out of my home when I was 15. I am physicaly disabled man in my mid twenties and live in a home with four other men in Webster City, IA. I have lived in 4 such homes prior to this one.

I enjoy getting out in the community to shop with my friends. I go to all the Vivace concerts Vivace is a local group my Dad played with for quite a few years.

I love going out to eat or grill out. I like having books that interest me read to me. I can read but it is easier to have them read. I have a good sense of humor and enjoy making people laugh, but I am not the class clown.

I grew up in a small Iowa town called Ellsworth. Many of the factories and businesses there then no lonnger exist.

Where do I start. My primary trait has to be laziness, I mean, look at me, I'm 31 and just now deciding where I want to go with my life. I've done pretty much everything and anything you can think of. (well. Maybe not everything...) Yep, that's basically my life story right there.

I'm really not quite sure why I'm here, but I'm pretty sure it's to find a person or two to just chill out with. I get lonely on occasion and all my friends have moved off to other places. I'm pretty much a natural hermit and usually fine by myself, but it happens.

I am a simple man that treasures honesty, sincerity, compassion and good sense of humor. I enjoy sports, music, traveling, golfing, and any outdoor activities that is fun and entertaining. I do work hard and play hard too. Most importantly, I do have a strong faith in God and believe strongly in family.

Small town girl who dreams of living in a barn, maybe renovating it first. Traditional country values, friendship, loyalty, honesty, faithfulness, though a very liberal, non traditional gal. Right brained left winger, lover of PETA, peace, truth, and love. I love to tease and can take it as well as give it. Old hippie, but don't drink, smoke or do any drugs, except maybe for my cholesterol (what can I say, I want to live a while longer!).

My philosophy is basically that the universe will mirror back to us whatever we put out there, so I try hard to be positive, and maintain a sense of hopeful optimism. Defender of the underdog, advocate for anyone who needs me, but do not need any more drama in my life please!

Believer in metaphysics and holistic health, not a believer in any particular set of religious rituals or buildings. I try to think global, and act local -- and if everyone put their money where their mouth was spiritually, the planet would be in pretty good shape. One person can have a profound effect on another. And two people...well, two people can work miracles. They can change a whole town. They can change the world.

Very simple, oridinary life, but it fulfills me and brings me serenity and joy. I love my animals, but am not a crazy cat lady, despite the picture. I like hiking, "junking," keeping up "this old house," puttering in my garden, writing a little bit, talking to the neighbors in the middle of the street, running around in the woods, campfires, old houses, checking out old towns, cafes (especially greasy spoons), old cemeteries, old rural one room schoolhouses, and anything to do with local history, old barns, etc. I like volunteering when I can, but also need to keep that balance in my life between work and fun. I like to sing, though no one but my grandson listens to me, and I put a lot of importance on fun and laughter -- find myself quite hilarious, but will you agree?

Love all kinds of music, but not into the bar scene at all. Love those small town fundraising things, though not a church lady either. I read a lot, and have some classic sit coms that make me laugh and help me keep my perspective. I have a graduate degree, but am surely no intellectual -- the dumbest things make me laugh, and I don't know a lot of big words, unless I use them at my job every day! Still like to bake my own bread, and hate shopping -- dress as casually as I can get away with.

Yes, I have a job, my car runs, no credit card debt, no handyman lists, and my roof does not leak (knock on wood). I don't need you, but I sure would like to find you. Please do not smoke -- it is very, very bad for you and everyone else. And if you are a hunter, please save your lectures about the eco balance for someone else.

Hi iam Jerry
Iam a Iraq Vet who enjoys life, my family and friends. I love the outdoors fishing,camping and hunting. Iam not sure what to say so if you want get to know me more...thanks

Iâ??m 24 years old originally from Davenport Iowa, however, I now live out in Boone Iowa. I went to school at UNI in Cedar Falls where I earned a degree in Leisure Youth and Human Services with two emphasis areas being Youth Services and Non ProfitYouth Administration. This degree enabled me to peruse a low paying job of you guessed it, working with youth. For being a poor person I decided to work more for enjoyment than making money. Iâ??ve become accustom to being broke; it seems to suit me well ~ I enjoy hanging out with my friends, which some how always leads to random acts of stupidity. Most of which we still laugh about daily ~I love storms but most importantly I love to play in them. This is also when I tend to sleep the best ~ I like to go out and hit the bars but after a while becoming belligerently intoxicated loses its perks when you spend many a mornings lying around vowing never to go out again. Which of courseâ?¦ never follows through ~ As much as I like to go out I tend to find a high point in my o so non-active life would be just lying around watching movies. I seem to watch a lot of movies but never the ones everyone else seems to watch, this possibly because I have probally have the intelligence of a 3 year old ~ I canâ??t sleep with out 1 of 2 fans on, and my 4 pillows, and my kitty by my side. ~ I still count with my fingers due to the fact that I am numerically challenged, and I cant spell to save my life ~ I sing very loudly in my car and when I am alone in my house ~ I have bad road rage which leads to me yelling a lot between lyrics ~ I like to cuddle, 95% of the time it is with my pillows, or the cat. ~ Many people like normal animals like bears and such, I like Moose ~ I have the grace of (according to a friend of mine) a 3-legged one-eyed drunken cat, which seems to impair my judgment to move without injuring myself ~ I donâ??t care what day it is I can sleep till 5 and be ok with it, however I am never given that opportunity ~I love to go camping even though it never ends well ~ I love to travel. My Camp A gave me that advantage by letting me go to Japan and New Orleans ~ I talk to myself, possibly more than I talk to other people. I even answer sometimes ~ I listen to music in Spanish and know all the words, but I donâ??t know what they mean ~ I LOVE music and have a hard time sitting in silence~ I canâ??t sit still and am constantly messing with stuff ~ I have a problem saying "no"~ I pride my self on not looking like a twig ~ I could eat Ice cream for the rest of my life and nothing else and be happy with it ~I name my pets weird names (i.c Sukoshi, Loki, Vitani) ~I have a fear of commitment. But I am getting a lot better ~I am VERY afraid of snakes and spiders ~ All of my notebooks are full of doodles and I canâ??t draw to save my life ~ As much as I love beer I cannot drink it or Ill die, (damn yeast) so I have become very close with Jose! ~ I bite my nails on a daily basis ~ I am terrified of needles, yet I have 10 piercing and 5 tattoos ~ I have mastered the art of looking like I am paying attention, but in all reality about 50% of the time I have no idea what you are talking about. Not because I dont care what you have to say but my mind likes to wander off quite frequently ~ I pretty much need coffee or some sort of caffinated substance to survive~ When I get excited I talk really fast and sometimes forget to breath ~I lose my focus very easily and forget what I am doing/saying ~I love scary movies, but I wonâ??t watch them alone because I scare easily ~I'm very ticklish ~ I own more hooded sweatshirts than almost any person I know and live in sweats. ~ I loath getting dressed up and avoid it at all costs ~ I'll do almost anything to help a person out, even if I dont know them ~ I have recently learned that I do not always process what I say, this not being that I say stuff to offend people or get myself in trouble, but something I just say the most random shit ~ I am probably the most random person you will ever meet, but that is not necessarily a bad thing!

I'm going to update this little by little.

I grew up in a small town in NW Iowa, spent the summer at the Lakes and miss it very much. I love to fish, boat, swim and SCUBA dive. I go back and every summer for a couple of weeks to volunteer at a Camp.

I work for a non-profit company and love my career. My work schedule is fairly crazy, but I love how never two days are the same. I get to make people smile on a daily basis-which is an amazing benefit in any career.

I am very close with my family although I live about 3 hours away. I have a niece and a nephew that I tend to gush over.

I have no plants, pets or children.

I think of myself as a bit of a country kid, although I love the opportunities that a big city has to offer, I'd just much rather visit but come home to a house in a small town or better yet the country. I have a slight obsession with boots and wear them as much as I can.

I hate to do dishes. Love cooking-I've perfected the pan-toss. So you should IM me if you don't mind doing dishes and enjoy eating well. LOL...

I love a good adventure. I've jumped off bridges, gone on shark dives and swung off a 20 story crane.

I am a person who enjoys life and loves to find adventure. I have tandem parachuted and rafted down the Royal Gorge and still up for more adventure. I am looking for someone who can be my best friend and then build a lasting relationship, someone who wants to share the good and the bad. Love to cuddle and hold hands. Not afraid to show affection. Family is very important to me.

Hi I am Jessica I am a nursing student and I will graduate in July. I am looking forward to that time being the first college graduate in my family and I plan on obtaining my Masters someday. I am very driven and love making a difference in peoples lives and caring for others. I enjoy laughing if you can't make me laugh you might as well forget it. I always have a smile on my face and have been told it lights up a room. I like to spend time with my family and friends. I am always up to try new things and not afraid to get dirty. I am sweet, down to earth,funny, humble, caring, honest, trustworthy, intelligent, fun loving, and easy going. I get along with most anyone so just send me a message if you would like to talk.

i like bowling, tennis, soccer, basketball, 4 wheelers, and many other things.

i am deeply irritated. i've lost the password to a prior profile, and okcupid seemingly doesn't play nice with yahoo.com email addresses. bugger. says i. more later

later:

so a summary eh? insane, but not dangerously so. i like to meet clever people. non-clever people make me embarrassed. occasionally they make me weep.

more later:

it's a slow sunday morning, smelling a bit of fall. thusly, i am taking advantage of that and writing a bit more bollocks here. yeah it doesn't make sense to me either, but meh, what you going to do?

i just finished watching heroes season 2 on dvd. much better than i thought it was going to be what with all the hoopla about it sucking one finds on the internets. it's wrong i cheer for Gabriel, and yet...

I like movies going on walks cuddling and I just love to spend time with someone special I just love to do just about anything that will make the woman happy for her its all about caring and love and nothing more. I just love to watch movies and just be next to that special girl and I love it when she says that she can't stop thinking about me I am a very good guy and very generous and nice and if u think I am your man email me.

I always find this section hardest to write because it's self percpetion versus outer perception...who's right? Art is an inherent part of me. So is nature. I can be shy, but can be passionate and energetic, too, especially with something I love. I'm also a total goof, and can be immature (or child-like, whichever). When it's warm weather, I am outside. I like to go out and dance (but I dance everywhere, even in my kitchen), but I like to be home, too; I don't need to be entertained all the time. I spend a lot of time at libraries, antique shops, and in parks. I'm interested in so many things, and am endlessly curious about things even if I'm bad at them, like science. I'd much rather be up and doing something instead of sitting in front of a screen, but I still watch t.v., especially PBS, and lots of movies. I'm not very good at communicating how I feel, so I instead show people how I feel with things I do and make for them. I love working with my hands and crosswords. I don't know what I'm doing in life -- I live in the now. I am usually laid back, but can get stressed easily. This is exacerbated by the fact I'm kind of a perfectionist. I'm very open minded and accepting (at least, I try to be). The world is so beautiful and amazing that it's a shame to waste life on petty things.

I am a divorced single mom with 4 active, beautiful children. I enjoy reading, music, movies, exercise, hiking, eating chocolate, and drinking margaritas. I'm looking for someone who just enjoys the adventure of daily life, laughing at themselves, and doesn't mind hearing silly stories about what my kids do. Honesty is very important to me as I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve and it gets me in trouble.

I am living in ames and I recently graduted from ISU with a degree in finance, and most of my friends have moved away after graduating, I have a pretty positive attitude, some say to positive, I look on the brightside of just about anything, I am usually pretty happy and It does not take much to make me happy. I am looking for someone with some similar interest as me to spend time with and see were things may lead. I would love someone that helped keep me active sometimes its hard to stay active when I am usually alone. Also I am not a typical guy, I am not just looking to score or anything like that. My goals right now are to eventual find a job that is in my field of study so my years spent at college were not for nothing. I eally I will get a job as a banker somewhere. Where does not matter to me really, I wouldn't mind moving at all I am sure I can be just as happy no matter where I live.

A bit more about me, I can be somewhat shy at first. I am not a really religious person I am a lutheran but religion is not a huge deal to me and I gladly respect other peoples beliefs and tend to expect the same. I love to play sports, chances are if its a sport I have played it or would love to try it out. Baseball/softball, dodgeball, bowling and disc golf are a few of my favorite ones to play. I would love to be on a bowling league again I was a bit back in high school and my first 2 years of college I was on the club league. if there is anything else you would like to know I will gladly answer any questions.

I'm a very laid back individual. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing about their experiences, in fact, I'm prone to chatting up strangers in almost any situation. My sense of humor is pretty quirky and off the wall a lot of the time, I've always been very good at finding the humor in any situation, I feel that's the key to maintaining my sanity. Also my two favorite pass times are cooking and reading. Hmm, there's a great deal more that can be used to describe me, however I think you'll enjoy finding that out more by talking to me and "experiencing" me instead of just having it described to you.

I'm a civil engineering student at Iowa State. I'm in my final year and I didn't plan out my classes very well so I am left with one very tough semester. With my degree I would love to design the structural systems in high-rise buildings.

I grew up on a small farm in northwest Iowa and working for my dad doing all sorts of farm chores. I also used to play the drums but I have lost most of that ability.

I grow bonsai trees as a hobby. Currently I have way to many ficus trees as I was limited in my outdoor space, but I now have also started growing an elm and mulberry tree. In a few years the mulberry should be a pretty nice looking tree.

Most people think I'm a pretty cool dude.

Self-promotion. No thanks. I'd rather not lie here.

I am an awful match for any female, and I apologize in advance for any that might, at some point in the future, be the other half of a couple with me.

Fortunately for you, this highly unlikely.

I watched my father's eccentricities and inappropriate/awkward behavior eat away at my parents' marriage until it finally collapsed. I don't want to subject any poor lady to the sort of thing with my behavior.

Obviously I can't tell that that would happen in advance, but I can't, in good conscious, assume that it wouldn't.

If, after all that, you wish to message me... go ahead, I suppose.

Re-Update time. New job, Account exec for the family business. I cover all of Iowa, Missouri and Texas. Bought a condo, still working on furniture and the like. Love to cook but live by myself, so I usually cook for about 5 people and have tons of leftovers. Just out of a relatively long term relationship. Overall I'm a pretty happy, outgoing, random type of guy. Despite working in a bar for 3 years and dealing with drunken idiots - I pretty much get annoyed with stupid people. If your main focus in life is getting wasted and high, we won't get along. I'm all for a fun night, but you have to have goals beyond temporary alteration of brain chemistry.

I'm looking for my Irene Adler or Christene Daae. The personification of a fictional muse, a courtesan of romantic-era repute. Beautiful, Intelligent and inspiring, a lady in truth, yet independent and confident. Not perfect, but exactly what I need. Perhaps I'm chasing a dream.

I'm trying to figure out who I am and who I want to be. I tend to be nice but.... sometimes I'm not so much. I love new experiences especially those involving traveling. I'm getting my doctorate degree at Iowa State and I love it, learning new things, trying different things.

I also love working for LGBT causes, trying to support people who are just coming out, trying to educate people who don't know, and enjoying shocking everyone by coming out and breaking their "typical lesbian" stereotype.

I think life is too short to hold grudges, so I'm working hard on letting things go when they don't go my way. Except for the few rare things that actually matter, like life, liberty, peace, justice, honesty, freedom, love. Those I will fight for.

I'm an honest, faithful man and I have a great sense of humour. That's what I have been told anyway, I like to laugh, joke around even if it's about me. I enjoy listening to most kinds of music. I like to go crusing around on my motorcycle or go crusing in one of my classic cars. I like to play pool, foosball, I like to watch football, I like to cuddle, camp out, grille. I'm more than willing to try new things, I'm open minded. I own and manage two businesses. I have been in business for over 15 years now. I'm looking for an honest, faithful, fun loving woman.

Hey all,

my name is mike and I'm a performing musician who absolutely loves meeting new people. I have lots of hobbies and interests which I would love to discuss with you. Feel free to shoot me a message. I look forward to talking to you.

I'm a trained massage therapist. I like to read, play video games and hang out with friends. I dont like filling in this stuff.

Well, I think those first three words explain me pretty well...But I'm a very fun person to be around, I like to do many things and I'll try just about everything once, and obviously if I enjoy it I will continue to pursue it. I love music of all types, but I especially love Rap, Hip-Hop, and R&B. I love the Broncos (since I was 5 years old) and everything to do with football. I am a basketball fan as well (Cavs and Nuggets). However the absolute most important thing in my life is my son and he comes before everything in my life!

First of all I like to start out with my religious beliefs...it turns many many people off but oh well....it's who I am. I am a practicing Wiccan (no, I'm not the wicked witch of the west..hehheheehe). I take my spirituality very seriously because it keeps me grounded. All I ask is for someone to RESPECT my beliefs and love of Mother Earth. I also have that Harley Davidson bug running through my veins....gotta have a man who has one or is open to getting one. I had my own but sold it when I moved to CA in 05. I will own another one someday. I also love my sobriety (11 years worth), but don't mind social drinkers, just can't handle drunks. I adore my almost two years old grandson, he is also a hugh part of my life. Family means alot to me but I don't want and can't have anymore kids. It's time for me now. I am a RN and work with the elderly and protect them with all I have. They are great teachers, wise and have some stories to tell. I love walks under the full moon, sitting by a fire on a cool, crisp evening. I am a diehard romantic, (that's the Scorpio in me...oh yea) and love spur of the moment things. I do smoke, however I am seriously trying to quit and have cut down quite a bit. I am working on my weight as well. I believe that it's more important what is on the inside than the outside, however, tall, bald men are sexy sexy. I don't play headgames, way too old for that, and can't stand it when men think they are going to find that "perfect" barbie doll, cuz nobody perfect in this life. I also have tattoos, a full back is the newest and totally believe in body modificaiton. Well that's enough for now, Blessings to all.

lets see i have a realy good scence of humor i enjoy listening to music being outdoors i enjoy maintaining my house and yard i like to detail my vehicles frequently. i enjoy going to parks i like to go on walks im a pretty honest and strait forward person

This is my MySpace Link: http://www.myspace.com/jeffadamsandeleventwentyone

To know my music is to know me. I am polymorous and like to live by that lifestyle

I am looking for friends, and perhaps more if the feelings are right, mutually. You would probably find that I am a bit shy at first, but I have been known to quickly come out of my shell. I believe in honesty and straight-forwardness, I give it and I expect it. Some of my other qualities, I am a good listener, loyal, and generous when I am able to be.

I like to play pool and watch NASCAR, that is about the limit of my interest in sports. I also am learning and doing web design, currently as a hobby, but hopeful soon as a money making venture. Should I find a special someone they would find that I also like going for walks, watching movies together, cuddling, or generally being in their presence. That is not to say I don't appreciate my space or their need for their's.

I am not interested in games and drama, however, as I have had my fill. As far as baggage, we all have it, I try to keep mine to myself. I don't ask the same of others, I only ask that I not become a victim of it. I am, however as I have said, a good listener.

(Between you and me, this profile is a work in progress, as I keep remembering things to add. ;) )

Hi, I am a country gal. I like everything about it such as: muddin, fishin, huntin, and riding horses. I am a big Chicago Bears fan and I love the color orange. I am a simple girl I'm not into drama or anything that has to do with it. I am 19 years old and love to have fun. I go to Iowa Central Community College and this is my second year here. I am from Centerville, IA, if anyone knows where that is. I love animals...I used to be in 4-H and FFA. umm if you wanna know more just let me know.

I enjoy being outside i go camping with my dad every summer and we take the horses with us every year. I love hanging out with friends. When im around new people i am usually pretty quite to start with but when things warm up i tend to change to a more interactive person. I love sitting down and watching movies or cuddling with the person that i am with. I enjoy spending time with my pets i have a horse, a dog and some cats. I enjoy working weather it is working with the horses (as in training the foals for the that year) or a paying job. I love being outdoors most of the time. I usually have to have something to do all day as in some kind of physical activity or i tend to get ancy and cant sleep at night. So i like to run i used to run 15 to 20 miles a day when i was in school but now i run maybe 5 miles a week if im lucky because of work, but physically i do stay in shape. If theres anything else you would like to know about me just ask i wont mind telling you. I enjoy meeting new people.

Most people would say im shy. I would say i am, but if i feel theres an injustice i will speak up. I have a beutiful 8 yr. old daughter. If you dont think you have the time or effort to love a child that is not your own, dont waste my or your time. I like most sports, especially billiards. I enjoy spending time with friends and family and meeting new people.

(Stop by often as this will be edited frequently...)

I am a single parent of 2 sons and the occasional adult stepdaughter who live with me. I love long road trips and miss overseas travel.

I'm a huge gamer with otaku tendencies, but I can and will talk if you want to. I'm a good listener, like to laugh, and try to hang out with my friends anytime I can. I'm new to dating, I know, kinda weird at my age. Didn't go out much in high school or college, just hung out with friends.

you will never be able to leave my side when you meat me !!!!

I am a single dad of my beautiful 6 year old little girl. I am looking for someone who is beautiful on the outside as well as on the inside but I'm beginning to think that that woman doesn't exist. I am someone who, when in a committed relationship, I am totally committed. I am a very open and honest person, sometimes I am to honest. I don't know if it is possible to find true love on the computer but it can't be any worse than trying to find it on a bar stool.

I'm bright, affectionate, loving, sweet, and sexy, or so I'm told. I love to read and write. I'm into self expression and feel like that's part of my calling in life. I'm unique... and that's a pretty darn good start. :o)

As an update: I'm currently channeling my inner grandmother/hippie/tree hugger. What this translates to is an interest in cats... and ownership of a significant number of the aforementioned beings, significant being seven. It also includes eating organic, locally grown or raised foods and those things that are best from my other homes (Colorado and Maui, Hawaii) are also included. Thirdly, I'm one of those people who owns a Prius and I prefer to date someone who is also a Prius driver, or if you do not drive a Prius, other hybrid drivers are acceptable.... and I suppose I can allow for those walkers and bicyclers of the world too... but just this once ;o). I ride my bike to work and school or I walk. SUV's piss me off. I'm also quasi-involved in cohousing. Community in this culture is breaking down; families are breaking down... and sometimes it's good to get back to your roots. In my case, my roots are partially Native American... I'm building my own tribe in a way I guess.

I'm interested in taking care of this planet so that my son or his sons or their sons (and daughters) don't have to go to a museum to see trees or prairies. I'm interested in being a responsible pet owner... because I have cats, this means they are indoor only for both their safety and that of the local wildlife (they go out occasionally on a harness and leash in the yard or for a stroll around the block). I'm interested in helping my son grow to be the best person he can possibly be and to be okay with doing the right thing even in the face of a world populace doing the wrong things.

Update #2: So, lots of people seem to read my profile and see "BI" and think that means something other than it does. It means I think women are pretty and sometimes I think men are cute too. This DOES NOT MEAN I want to join your relationship as the girl to make this the perfect triad or to be someone's relationship garnish or side salad.

I have a beautiful eight year old boy I'm raising. I have eight... yes, you read that right EIGHT cats, four dogs, two bunnies, four Russian Dwarf hamsters of unknown variety, three rats, and fish. (No, there are no partridges in pear trees or french hens... though turtle doves strike me as kinda cool as do gold rings....but uh, I INSIST they be white gold and ethically obtained metal.... so, recycled preferably) I do enough juggling with these kids for all the circuses in all the world combined... you needn't apply if you want me to juggle my needs around your other relationships.

Sometimes I'm serious and sometimes I'm goofy, aww hell I'll admit it, I'm probably serious about 5% of the time. No that doesn't mean that I'm irresponsible because I'm very responsible. It also doesn't mean that I'm not dependable because my friends always turns to me first if they need help because they know that I'll be there. It doesn't mean that I don't own up to my actions, because that is far from the truth. It just means that I'm a goof! I like to laugh and have fun. Life is serious enough why make it more? I'm a single Dad (shared custody) of an 11 year old boy who is my world. I'm work but not a workaholic. I'm driven to change my life each day but not so much that I forget that this moment happens only once. There's more I can write but I will just wait for now...

I'm laid back. I enjoy reading and on occasion try to write. I'm a gamer out of boredom more than passion. I love politics, or rather, I hate politics but can't get over them. I drink too much, I smoke too much.

I'm a bit of a night owl, I'd just as soon sleep the day away. For work...who gives a shit what I do to pay the bills?

I am currently separated, on the road to divorce. I do have a girlfriend who lives with me, but we are open to threesomes or foursomes. If you're not into anything like that but still think I might be someone interesting to talk with, feel free to give me a shout.

I am an enigma, and an anomaly. I am unique.. Just like everybody else.

I am male, but not much into sports, or very 'mechanically' inclined. I have no great desire for the 'companionship' of other males, in either a social or 'intimate' context. I consider myself "straight", only in the sense that I have never, to this point, met another of my gender that I have wished to directly experience anything of a sexual or sensual nature with.

In the midst of a "Christian" society, I am pagan and heathen. As I incorporate attributes of both paganism and heathenism into my belief structure, I often find myself at odds with members of both.

Amongst a (supposedly) "monogamous" society, I am polyamorous and a swinger. As I display attributes, actions, and desires of both polyamorists and swingers, I find myself occasionally misunderstood and even at times shunned by members of both groups.

I am a father, although not a very good one. I am often short-tempered and impatient with my children, and I don't spend near as much time with them as I should.. I know I am not as 'encouraging' as I should be, and I seem to find myself much better at pointing out flaws and mistakes than praising more 'positive' attributes, of which my children have many. I do NOT, however, blame my lack of effective parenting on my OWN childhood!! My actions and decisions, whether good or bad, are my own, and not the result of some bullshit about a "broken home", a "dysfunctional family", or whatever. I refuse to give my 'past' that much 'control' over me.

I want love.. I want acceptance.. I want admiration.. I want to be 'desired'.. But I refuse to sacrifice or compromise who or what I am in order to gain any of it. And I refuse to set out to try to 'impress' anyone in order to 'convince' them of my worthiness of their 'attention', in whatever form. If my attributes do not stand out on their own, either I am not doing a good enough job displaying them, others are not doing a good enough job recognizing them, or others are in no need or desire of them.

I see the "forest for the trees" way too easily. I often wish this weren't the case. I would like a much better ability to be able to enjoy a singular tree a lot more often.

I consider myself intelligent. At least intelligent enough to realize there are many more things I don't know than what I do. However, I lack the ambition and self-discipline to use my intelligence to the best of my advantage. And, as intelligent as I am, I am still undeniably naive. I tend to trust people until given a reason not to.

Any or all of the above is subject to change or revision without notice.. Just like life itself....

I like to think that I am a nice combination of city kid and farm girl. I grew up in a small town and was involved in agriculture growing up. On the flip side I love cities and their excitement. I am a person that is comfortable in every environment and will make the best of it--I have fun in whatever I do. I graduated from Texas A&M University and moved for career advancement. I live for college football, coldbeer, concerts, good friends, shopping, and new adventures.

I'm very easy going and just like to have fun. I love spending time with my friends, watching movies, listening to music, cooking & learning new recipes, and playing with my dog.

I am not sure how much I know my self but I am Grad student at ISU and 10 month ago I cam to Ames but except cold weather I really love it.
I am calm but not when I be among my friend. I have to think about so many thing so I could never solve anything !!!!

I'm a nerd. Not exclusively, not entirely, but I'm definitely a nerd. I am a highly verbal, highly analytical person. My social instincts are somewhat duller than I would like.

That being said, I'm also a romantic. I'm a sucker for concepts like love, hope, compassion and freedom. I'm so optimistic I'm often characterized as naive. In truth though, I'm no less capable of seeing the problems of the world than the most jaded of cynics, I simply refuse to accept the assertion that they cannot be solved, or at least mitigated.

I'm a musician. If you haven't heard me sing, you've known me for less than two hours. Music is a part of me; it bubbles unbidden out of my soul and I do what I can to release it whenever the situation allows.

Finally, I am quirky. I love novelty, and I dislike excessive seriousness. I've been known to do completely random things simply to see what happens (within reason, of course). I find that it's easier to be happy and find justification for my happiness than to allow circumstances to dictate my happiness and spend my life in perpetual pursuit of more favorable circumstances.

I am about ready to graduate school and am looking to finally really get my life started. I am wanting to find somebody to go out and have fun with or maybe settle down with. I want somebody who is hard working and driven in life, but who also knows how to go out and have fun.

I'm 50. Corpulent. A bit of a wise-ass. An oddball musician. A geek. A father of three. I work my job. I pay my bills. I have fun after that. I don't particularly care for sports but I do like going to an Iowa Cubs game occasionally. I own too many movies and CDs and WAY too many instruments. I rarely drink, a bottle of Harp Lager once a year is generally enough for me. I have never done drugs and have little tolerance for those who do. I travel a lot, going to odd places to play music for no money, sometimes alone and sometimes with my band, who are as much oddball musicians as I am.
What I'm looking for in a partner. You create ... play music, write, paint, sing, dance, something, otherwise you will never understand me. And you must be beautiful, and it doesn't matter what you look like. And if that last bit makes no sense to you, neither will I.

Hi! I'm a graduate student working towards a PhD in history. I've been single my whole life, though not by choice. I like being with friends, though most are fellow grad students and spare time is at a minimum. I have a pretty weird sense of humor, largely due to watching too many episodes of the Simpsons. I enjoy music (mostly alternative rock, though I also enjoy other genres) and art (I do some drawing and painting when I have time). I also enjoy cooking for myself and friends (and I'm a semi-vegetarian, but tolerant). Movies are another passion; anything from classics, to foreign, to mainstream - as long as an effort was put into it. I'm slowly fixing up an old house I bought (cheaper than rent!) and I also make furniture (when I have time! - again!). I have three cats that I rescued, and they supply endless entertainment/destruction of upolstery.

I can't really see accurately summarizing myself within a text box. I'm more somebody you'd have to actually meet to get a feel for. But even then I don't know if you really would. I'll start by saying I'm nice... too nice... like gets-me-nowhere nice. Have you ever brought home a total dick to your parents and had them sit you down and ask why you couldn't just date that nice guy down the street? Yeah, I'm THAT guy. Well, I used to be, now I'm kind of a sarcastic cynic with a morbid sense of humor... but a good mixture of the two.

I love music, (ground breaking, I know). I found my first guitar in a dumpster when I was 12 and have been pretty obsessed ever since. Thereâ??s something extremely gratifying about being able to create the kind of music you like. I like playing and giving lessons, but I also love listening to music and discovering new bands. Iâ??m pretty much a rock freak. Everything from the Goo Goo Dolls and Gin Blossoms to Dark Tranquility and Dimmu Borgir.

Iâ??m also a huge stand-up comedy buff. Iâ??m always trying to make people laugh, so I guess it kind of fits my personality. Some of my favs are Louis C.K., Todd Barry, George Carlin, Jim Norton, and John Mulaney. Youtube em, itâ??s worth it.

Random likes: ripping on pop culture, concert shirts, Futurama/Family Guy reruns, writing, philosophy, sleeping til noon, sour patch kids, long drives with awesome music, intelligent conversations, tetris, vinyl albums, water skiing, rockband drums, late nights, the xgames, thunder, starry nights, haunted houses, roller coasters, mosh pits.

Random dislikes: watching pretty much any sport, snow, rap, Beyonce/Fergie/LadyGaGa, mornings, thug culture, MTV, the uber religious, spiders, Candy Corn, Nascar, ipods.

I'm 21 and go to Iowa State for Criminal Justice and plan on becoming a Police officer. I am part of the Phi Kappa Theta fraternity and absolutely love it. Couldn't ask for better roommates or brothers. I love to draw and play guitar and hang out on the weekends. I love to grill and cook. When i am not in Ames I'm back home in Clear lake ripping it up on the lake wakeboarding and chilling with my friends.I have a large teddy bear personality and I like to have fun and am very spontaneous and love to laugh and have a good time. I grew up religious but have leaned to more of an open idea on life and its workings. I love to analyze things and see how things work. I am ambitious and tend to do some crazy things at times but nothing that will put my future in jeopardy.

I do not have it all figured out nor claim to. I cannot promise that I have been perfect or never needed second chances, but I will always love you more than myself. If you ever need advice or simply someone to talk to - no matter where in the country I may be or what small town I might be stuck in - I am here for you.

I am a struggler, sinner, gentleman, and a fighter!!!!

I am a very independent, strong-minded person. I can be stubborn at times, but it gets me by. I have a goofy personality, and can usually make people laugh.

I am definitely an overachiever, but I know when to take a break and relax. I love spending time with people, whether it's going out for a nice dinner or chilling at home with a movie and a few beers. I also love being outdoors when the weather is nice.
