My "Type"

I know that I'm single. Everyone else knows that I'm single too. However, I don't need to be reminded of it every single day when I go to work, when I see my cousin and her boyfriend, or when I see two people happy to be with one another.

When people ask me why I'm single, I tell them that it's because the guys that I'm interested in are all straight. Call it my curse, but as my straight friend Gio says it, "flamers and fruitcakes need not apply". He's actually very right.

I like guys that are guys - not guys that are women trapped in a man's body. I don't like the stereotypical lisp, the 17 year old boy look, limp wrists, or anything that even remotely appears to be "gay" on a guy. And I hate the term "boi".

I'm looking for a guy that I can sit and talk with while I wonder "is this guy really gay"? I like guys that are rough around the edges, a bit rugged, and can take a hit if they get in a fight. Granted, I'm not looking for a caveman named Gronk either. He has to be articulate, well mannered, an generally friendly.

Introversion is ok, but I like more outgoing types. If he likes video games and other nerdy pasttimes like RPGs and computer games, then that's a plus. Having a job and a modicum of independence is key as well, though I can make an exception if he's still in school.

Recently, I've been enjoying physical activity a great deal more than I used to. If he can keep up with me or introduce me to something new, then I'm all for that too.

Physically, I like guys that are my height or a little taller (but not too tall). Dark hair and light eyes are nice too, but not required. It all depends on the person.

I don't think that I ask too much. The main problem is that there have been precisely 4 men in my life that have fit the bill, but 3 are straight, and one is taken. Such is life.
