Single women who are: Independent- I work 11 hour days and have other commitments on the weekends.* Generally I have evenings available. Lets enjoy the time we have together and yet also have separate interests.Financially Stable- This means that you don’t need a man to support you or take you out. You have a job and a car.Local- I live and work in Santa Monica. Be within 15-20 minutes drive if you plan on having me over more frequently than some weekends.Confident- I expect no drama or jealously from you.Non-Smoker/Non-Drug User- Do I need to explain this one?Social Drinker- As long as you are not an abuser of alcohol we are good to go. I happen to love the occasional bottle of wine.Ambitious- You have a career, whatever it is and are trying to better yourself. You might even make more money than I do. I’ve never dated a woman whose income I didn’t at least double. Challenge me. (This doesn’t disqualify anyone, I just don’t want to date anymore whining “poor me†little girls .)Adventurous- I love the snow. I’ve skied most my life and recently started snowboarding. I also enjoy the boating thing. I have a good friend with a boat which we will probably be taking out next summer. Plan for it. Did I mention I love the snow?Baggage- I understand that as I get older the women I date will have more and more history. All I ask for is that you don’t have any restraining orders on any of your ex’s and no criminal history. I have a great relationship with my ex-wife and since my divorce I have not had one issue with her.*Children- I have a 5 year old son that I get to see every other weekend. You will NOT be meeting my son or have anything to do with him until I am quite certain you are a long term. This means that you keep your child away as well. In fact in a perfect world, you have no children but want some. I do hope to meet someone that I can start a family with.Rest assured that that I am not asking for any of the above qualities without having them to offer myself. Most women I’ve met only needed to know that I’m easy on the eyes and able hold down a steady job. I am hoping to meet someone a bit more creative. If you feel you’ve the need to get to know me, then please write.
