So there is an article that's been going around in the world of blogs about how women should settle for a less-than-perfect guy rather than end up alone and childless. Some people think that this is good advice, while others think that women should hold out for perfection.

As a single guy who eventually wants to get married, my first thought was "where are all these attractive, intelligent, successful women who are willing to settle?" My second thought was "and if this trend really does exist, how can I use it to my advantage?"

This site hopes to answer both of those questions. I figure if there really are women who are looking to settle for a decent but less than perfect guy, then I could be that guy. I like to think I'm a nice guy, with a stable job, no criminal record, and secure finances. I'm not the world's most exciting guy, or the best looking. But I'm good enough.

So why should you settle for Anthony?

• Stable job in IT with a college (plus free tuition if we ever have kids!)
• homeowner
• owner of a shiny yellow pickup truck, which is almost paid off
• goes to the gym almost daily
• thrifty, never makes impulse purchases
• goes to church regularly, but is still pretty open-minded about religion
• well-read, knowledgeable about current events
• has a really cute cat named Nibbler
• well-educated, has an MBA
• disease free, no criminal records, haven't gotten a speeding ticket since 2000, seldom drinks
• a face that doesn't cause most people to recoil in horror

So now, you are probably thinking, gee, this Anthony guy sounds great. Why aren't women beating a path to his door? Well, I ask myself that every day. I'm guessing it's probably because I tend to be somewhat quiet and shy, because I'm not a soical butterfly or a party animal. I'm not the world's most confident person, I don't have any really cool hobbies, I generally suck at sports, I'm short, and I have the kind of body that is never featured on the cover of fitness mags.

But come on, nobody's perfect. Settling is good. Email me!

Are you serious? - yes and no. I don't really expect to meet the future Mrs. Anthony through this website. It's mostly a sarcastic reaction to the settling article. But I really am single, and looking for a long term relationship, so if you are an intellegent, single female in your mid-20's to early 30's, live in the Baltimore Metro area and get my rather quirky sense of humor (and slight sense of frustration at still being single) that led me to create this site, I would certainly love to hear from you
