You sound swell - alot like the gentleman I am currently seeing.
I'm not so handy around the house. I can rewire a lamp, and replace the washers in a faucet, but I can't do much more than that. I have been lucky to have close male friends who are very good at that kind of thing, who will work for food.
I can fish, and hunt pheasant, but I don't clean the fish or game. (Mom told me not to learn how to do that or I'd be stuck with the job forever...haha) I do bait my own hooks, though. So do all 5 of my kids.
Dump cake in a dutch oven is ambrosia as far as I am concerned, and I'll eat darn near anything you grill, unless you put sweet bbq sauce on it, and then I will politely ask you to leave the sweet stuff off of mine.
I'll bet you are great fun at parties - you are the one telling the good stories that most people miss because they are too busy drinking and impressing each other.
I agree that trying to meet people in a bar is not a good plan if you are looking for a mate. However, I am a musician, and that is where I meet most people. Difference is, I'm there to play music, not to hook up. The man I am seeing right now is also a musician, and while we met in a bar, it was not a pick-up deal. We shared that common interest, and found that we had even more in common than a love for blues.
That seems to be the best way to meet people with whom you want to have a meaningful relationship, whether as a friend or mate - connecting over a commonly held interest or value. Hooking up in bars is too shallow for my tastes, though I will admit that I have met interesting people there. Just wouldn't want to be married to most of them!
PS - I think the pecan pie would ship, but I'm not at all sure about the meringues...

Now that means something to me, "swell" I mean.
Today, if I was to tell a woman she was "swell" she'd
think I was a rube.
What do you all play?
I used to play Mt.Dulcimore, and was apprenticed to a
man in Seattle and learned to make them, but later decided
to make blacksmithing my career and it is very hard on your
hands so now don't play. After thirty years of hot iron,
my hands give me a little trouble.
