    Word, I was thinking the same thing.

    ...and people already think I'm the ego maniac's ego maniac. The way I answer questions; the way mind starts off thinking about me, then jumps to politics and how much I loath republicans, then jumps to whether or not licking a shaved snatch is just as good as a curly haired one, then back to how great I am..

    ...it would not end well at all.

    There are of course some common traits, but I can say I have never dated a woman who was very similar to me. I like guns, xbox, I'm sort of a computer geek and a history nerd. No woman I have ever dated has been into any of the above.

    ...If I'm bringing soup to the table, and you are bringing soup to the table....I guess we will both sit there and slurp it down because no one brought the spoons.

    What I bring to the table?

    Hmmm...

    - open to lifelong commitment, like marriage
    - financial responsibility
    - self sufficient behavior (pull up my own bootstraps)
    - independent (like to give space for us to do our own thing, especially if we're not married yet)
    - reliable
    - encouraging
    - career in animation or animation related
    - a committed relationship with God.
    - love of comicbooks and most things that are superhero related
    - learning new things
    - good work ethic
    - generally healthy lifestyle, though two of my many kryptonites are reese cups and peanutbutter oreos

    Well if thats how you feel you better stay outta the bars/clubs in LA and almost any other big city in the US. Personally i prefer a 7-8 thats cool and fun anyday over a dime and wannabe dimes that await you at these venues hoping to rob you blind. Had my share of empty shells and curb appeals...no thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Where else can one boast about their own qualities, if not in a thread created for that purpose? Haters gonna hate.

    What I bring to the table. hmmmmm

    I can type over 70wpm (but with way more mistakes than I'd care to admit)...that probably brings it down to more like 50wpm.

    My love of life
    My sense of humor
    I'm aggressive, arrogant, cocky, at times haughty, boorish, crass, rude, crude, lewd, shrewd, obtuse, abstruse, instigative and argumentative. I don't listen, I'm hard headed, and I don't know when to leave well enough alone. I WILL admit I'm wrong when PROVEN I'm wrong.....not when simple TOLD I'm wrong, and I have always tried to make amends for my errors in judgement.

    I am respectful, honorable, dependable, loyal, caring, trustworthy...I'm just not easy. I demand far less from people that I love, and give them far more than I receive; however, I expect far more than I should from people I don't give a fuck about.

    I cry at movies. (no really...never figured out way) I'm a passionate man who is not afraid nor embarrassed to cry, feel pain, or show emotion. ...and have been in so many fights I just can't believe I'm not dead or well.......dead. I love to bully the bully. LOVE IT!

    I love my children more than I love life itself. My greatest fear is that I will somehow fail. That despite my love I will still somehow miss the mark. I love my mother and father and miss them more each year they have past. The most beautiful word in the English language is "daddy." When you see me, you see my children they have made more more of a man than anything in my life. How can something so soft and innocent, make me feel SO FUCKING POWER I will never know.

    I quit smoking because my daughter said "If you don't quit I will never kiss you again"

    DONE! haven't smoked in 3 years.

    If you are my best friend and you are wrong I will stand against you, if I don't know you, and you are right I will fight beside you....but both know my family comes before all others.


    I volunteer
    I'm a youth mentor
    I'm a published writer
    I published poet
    ....and a published photographer. I even publish my own magazine.
    I have a degree in African American studies
    I speak Japanese.
    I have two Golden [Welterweight and Light welterweight ]
    ...and one Golden Glove BC (Canada) [Light welterweight]
    I am a black belt in Shotokan karate
    I speak Japanese and some Korean
    I'm well traveled, I've been to over 20 different countries


    I'm a former Marine, and a proud United States Army National Guardsman.


































    I can shoot a sniper rifle

    ....upside down

    ....backwards

    ....on my odd hand

    ....and land a shot at 600 meters... (and everytime I do it I give myself a black eye...........but I can do it)

    I've been thinking about this and I can't answer IB. I can tell you what I think are positive attributes, but those could just as easily be viewed as liabilities in someone else's eyes. I think what you think you bring to the table is immaterial, it's what the person sitting on the other side of the table thinks that matters in this instance. If I see something as a strength and they view it as a weakness, then what I think really isn't going to matter cause we aren't going to get anywhere.

    I also think most people aren't the best judge of their strengths, it's the people who know them that often have a much more accurate appreciation of who they are. So some of us just aren't good at extolling our positive virtues. Sometimes you're just better off asking someone else what they think. I know personally people will say something about me that surprises me because it's not how I see myself.

    For instance, I can tell you what you bring to the table IMO:

    fierce loyalty
    complete honesty
    enduring commitment
    fantastic humor
    great nurturing
    fair mindedness
    adventurous spirit
    traditional values

    I completely understand where your coming from. All Im implying, is, Im tired of people looking for gold, when they themselves are working with copper.

    Yea, it seems like most the girls I run into in bars or clubs, are either self important pretentious types or there attractive but vacuous to the nth degree.

    I didn't make this thread to be a boasting session. When I have this conversation with my friend, it's not about boasting at all. He often asks me what am I bringing on my end, not in a braggadocios way. This isn't about me listing what I want from a man that this topic comes about, it's usually about how I can attract a man or get one I'm interested in.

    Just a few things

    -The usual shit like honest, dependable, respectful...
    -Basketball fan, Laker fan.
    -Anime/manga/gamer nerd that doesn't fall into the stereotype
    -Likes serious talks just as much as joking around
    -Avoids confrontation, especially among friends. Guess that explain why out of my 6 best friends, I'm the only one that hasn't had a major fight with one of them that ended up in not speaking to one another for a week/month/half a year.
    -Not a drinker/smoker/drug user/partier/avoids thuggish druggish crowds
    -Can be lazy but down for most fun shit.
    -Always looking out for those who are close to me. Need a sober driver at 4 in the morning? I'm there. I'm really shitty about my friends doing reckless shit or not doing anything with their lives.
    -Accomplishing my goals one step at a time
    -The kind of humor/sarcasm/assholism in a joking manner. This. Is. Me.
    -Horror and comdey movie fanatic. The more blood, the better. Love extemely sad and tragic parts in movies and especially in anime/manga, but it can't be an all tragic story. It's gotta be mixed in with action or comdey.
    -Hip-hop head, Funk and oldies fanatic and am down for any other kind of music. I can talk music all day.
    -Love drivin' around town like a muthafucka
    -Likes to make music.....when I actually know what the hell I'm playing



    I guess.....
