(1) You ... as long as you're genuine and not some self-important tosser like Simon Cowell, Rush Limbaugh, Donald Trump, Jerry Springer, Bill O'Reilly, a militant vegan, my ex-spouse, or just trying to sell me something or boost your numbers on Myspace, or a poser, or advancing a political agenda or most of all, one of those pervs my age who stalks teenage girls. Other than that I love to meet all kinds of people from everywhere. Your age, your nationality, shape and size and all that other outside doo doo doesn't matter in the slightest. Just be real that's all I ask.
