"Who are you?" *taps a pencil to his teeth and makes a face before repeating:* "Who are you?"Ok. Now that I have my "Breakfast Club" reference out of the way, I will continue with dissecting myself in a few paragraphs in the hopes of attracting others. (That's my sarcastic side)Now, to get a few important points out...I am technically married. My wife and I, have been together for over six years total, we've been married for three and a half, and have a 5 year old daughter. We do not live together anymore, and do not have a romantic relationship with each other at all. We are still very good friends, we agree on how to raise our daughter, and we work well together, so for now, the D word hasn't really come up.*Watches a bunch of people hit the "back" button and continue their searches*Anyway, so...more about me.Right...I hate these things. "Here, take this space, and fill out what you can that you think will turn other peoples' heads, and they will in turn take notice and wish to **** you."Really? Come on. Most people have looked at the pictures, and if they are interested after that, they move on to the words. They will then PERHAPS read them in their entirety, and at that point, make a decision whether or not to send a message, hoping that the other person will then like their pictures enough to get them to read their little summary of their self.Oops. I suppose now is where I add that I am a relatively cynical dude. I am learning to temper that down and think more positively, but it is a work in progress. Anyway, I have decided that for this section, I would just kind of type what is on my mind, and hopefully, that will give you enough of an idea of my personality, that you can decide if I am someone you wish to meet further.At this point, I will say that I tend to not have much of a self filter over my mouth, and I have a habit, (good or bad) of saying exactly what is on my mind. I tend to be a bit quiet in larger groups, but in smaller settings, I tend to be the one making people laugh. I tend to over communicate and I refuse to accept liars and devious people into my life. I have been wounded far too often and deeply by people of this nature, so I need people that will only speak their authentic truth around me. I prefer hard truth to soft lies, and as the saying goes: "I would much prefer to be punched with the truth than to be kissed with a lie". I have recently moved back to Michigan after living in Chicago for almost a year. Living in Chicago had been a dream of mine for over 20 years, and while I am very sad to have my dream not play out longer, I also am happy that I am able to do what I need to in order to be closer to my daughter who is the meaning of my life. I have recently had the realization that everything that has happened to me in my life, (good and bad) has molded me to be the best father I can be, and I love being a dad. At 39, my dream of having more kids, and a full time family of my own seems to be close to an end, but I will give it a few more years before I let that one go entirely. :PIf you don't believe that we live in a society that encourages, supports and apologizes for rapists, or don't believe that we live in a rape culture please don't contact me. If you do not agree that we live in a misogynistic, patriarchal society, please don't contact me. If you believe that racism is "a thing of the past" or that it isn't prevalent still on our society today, or if you disagree that white privilege is very real and a systemic part of our society, please do not contact me. We would be doing nothing but wasting our time. I cannot have anyone like that as a long term partner, and I am running out of patience when it comes to trying to educate or teach people about these topics. If however, you do not know what those things are, or are unsure or undecided or uneducated about those things, and you have an open mind, and are open to discuss and learn about them, then please, by all means, contact me. I am very open minded and I enjoy challenging my own belief systems as a means of growing as a person.I am a funny, cynical, sarcastic, kinky, and opinionated feminist.
