Seeking: Men Who Wear Camo in Martini Bars

I wear many faces...but all of them are truly mine.

    During the week, I'm in bed by 10pm, I wake up early and have an hour commute to work. I wear slacks and hide my cleavage, like a good little professional. I try to eat healthy and make it to the gym every once in a while. I don't get around to watching much TV or snacking on a bunch of potato chips...I pretty much just stick to what I need to do.
    On most weekends, I like to let loose. I like to see my friends and drink beer and scarf down a good burger. I like to stay up late so I can sleep in. I like to do fun, adventurous things and meet new people. I try to keep up with my Detroit sports, and I always feel like I will fit in a few loads of laundry - but let's face it...weekends are too damn short.
    There are times I like to get all dolled up and wear a pair of heels and some bright red lipstick. I like a good night out on the town with my girlfriends, tracking down free drinks and engaging in interesting, alcohol-fueled conversation with complete strangers at the bar. I like walking along the downtown streets at night, heels in hand, eyes on the stars above.
    On the other hand, there are weekends where I want to wear a pair of jeans and an old sweatshirt. I want to throw a can of Bud Light in a koozie with some unladylike saying on the side and sit on a truck tailgate next to a roaring fire. I like to ride shotgun down old dirt roads and explore abandoned houses and fire off rounds at some silly target a few acres back.
    I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty, I'm not scared of a toolbox and trust me when I say "I can do it," you better let me try. Then, there are times where I just want to be pampered. But we all need that, sometimes, right?
    I feel so completely in between labels...I'm not a "city girl" by any means...but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy the night-life and the artistic, creative ways downtown has a way of bringing people together. If I had to pick a side, I easily would say I'm more "country girl" than anything, but I would love to bring some city elements with me. When I envision my lifestyle 10 years from now...I picture myself living on a country road on a big piece of land. I see a country-style exterior house with all the perks of a modern home on the inside - obviously with some Shelby flare to spice up the decor. There are a couple horses in the back, an awesome tree house for the kids and a big ol' pole barn for its plethora of uses. And just a few miles away, my starry-skied, red-lipstick nights-out-on-the-town will be waiting for me on a Friday night.
    I know that's what I want. I am positive that that's who I am and who I want to be.

Now I just need to find my perfectly in between city-country boy to rock my world. One who dresses up nice for work, keeps his hands clean when he needs to, but loves to throw on those work boots and make his dreams become his reality.

Question is...where do I meet him? You don't see many men wearing camo in a martini bar these days....
