Hello everyone! What's good with ya? How are all of you doing? How are things going for you? I hope all things are going very well with you.

I'll be more than happy to tell you about myself. My name is Edwin Williams, and I'm a single African-American 100% openly gay male (I'm NOT straight & I'm NOT bisexual at all) who resides on the southside of Chicago, IL. I'm 6'5" in height, weigh 280 lbs., muscular build, 38-inch waist, bald, have 4 tattoos and no piercings. I have my own place, financially independent, very well-educated and possess a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from Chicago State University. I currently work as an Legal Administrative Assistant of a law firm whre I support two attorneys who specialize in personal injury law (I was also a model and did a recent photoshoot for www.taggaz.com and www.dawgpoundusa.com, although I don't plan on making modeling a full-time career as I love my present job very much. I informed them to remove my pics from the websites due to people wanting one-night stands, booty calls and casual encounters, and just to clear up any misconceptions, I'm not a porn star at all).

I have a friendly, perky, outgoing and friendly attitude and I love to be crazy. I love meeting people.

I love my friends and family very much. They know all about me and have been so supportive of me. I can't stand people who are racists. It's a shame in this day and age that racism and prejudice against people of alternate lifestyles still exists and that other people still believe in it. In addition, some people will teach their children to hate other people based on race and religion. I'm so happy my parents didn't raise me that way because they were never conformed to racism. I've seen the new movie Hairspray (based on the original version that starred former talk show host Ricki Lake) and this movie is about segregation and racism, and Tracy Turnblad (brilliantly played by Nikki Blonsky) is one of my favorite characters. She was one of the few characters who loved everyone for who they are, not for color or race.

I'm not in a relationship right now due to my hectic work schedule (my boyfriend, Steve, passed away from a car explosion on Christmas Day in December of 2007). For now, I'm focusing on me and my career (not that I'm "married" to my job though lol). I'm just seeking good friends with good hearts and good intentions.

I'm going to be direct and upfront about this (people don't even want to say this either), but thugs act like they want to get to know you, but they're just looking for a piece of ass to fuck and I avoid thugs very easily (although a few of them live in my area and some of them are very smart and intelligent). My friends have informed me of their personal experiences with thugs, and according to them, thugs are incapable of keeping committed relationships. One of my friends told me, "Edwin, do not even become involved with thugs because they're a waste of time, and all they want is a piece of ass. Thugs act like they love you, but they don't show it and don't know how to keep committed relationships, and they're so dense they wouldn't know what a committed relationship is if it was handed to them in a specially-marked box." I can't say that I've been involved with a thug because I'm not around them, but if they communicate with me in a certain way and say, "Yo. Wassup? This is yo boi J. Holla back," I'll know instantly they're thugs. I'm NOT a thug and I'm NOT a gangbanger at all. I'm just me - plain and simple Edwin Williams. I want people to communicate with me the regular way, not the thuggish way (and I don't speak the thug language either). I'm no better than anyone else, but if you're going to communicate with me, don't talk like that please. Communicate with me like a normal person.

I dislike being around people who abuse drugs, smoke excessively and drink excessively (as I've seen indicated on a lot of profiles). I'll accept a person who drinks only on a social basis, but I will NOT tolerate people who drinks too much to the point where they're drunk and stupid. Smoking bothers me very much and I will NOT be around people who love to smoke so much and drink so much. I'm a non-smoker, non-drug user and non-drinker, and I prefer to be around people who don't do any of these. I've never done these in my entire life and I never will. My health is 100% important to me. The day a person smokes or drinks too much is the day I walk away with a quickness.

My e-mail addresses are edwinwilliams2005@gmail.com and edwinwilliams2008@yahoo.com. Thank you all so much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you. All of you have a wonderful day and don't work too hard (lol). Take excellent care.

With friendship to all of you, Edwin Williams - Chicago, IL

P.S. If most of you have a problem with me being openly gay, that alright because I've fought gaybashers before and I made them sorry they were born.
