Are There Harley Riding, Country Music Loving, Tattooed, Bald Jewish Guys?

Not one of mine, but beautiful.

I was asked yesterday if I have a “type”.  If you look at the last couple of men I’ve had relationships with, one could argue that yes I do.  There were enough similarities between the two men that it would appear that I do have a type.  The problem is that my “type” is not easily found.

I like a man who rides a Harley.  Lots of men ride motorcycles, but there is something about a Harley that is special.  It is iconic, sexy, and very manly.  It is so much power and takes confidence to ride it with ease.  If a man can handle a Harley, then maybe he can handle me.

I like country music.  I like the stories that are told and I can relate to them.  They are songs about our lives and I hear them sometimes and think they were written about me.  I’m not wearing cowboy boots, or sporting a Stetson, but you can find it on my iPod and programmed in my car.

I love tattoos.  I think they can be beautiful and are works of art.  The rules on tattoos for Jews are different depending on who you talk to.  The thought that Jews cannot be buried in a Jewish cemetery with tattoos is not true.  There is a great article on Jews and tattoos from a few years back in the New York Times.

I actually have tattoos.  Truth be told, I have six.  They are all small, discreet and commemorate important events in my life.  They are all beautiful, meaningful and important.  None of them are frivolous or silly.  They make me happy and are truly pieces of art.

I have had Jewish men tell me they can’t date me because of my tattoos.  I always thought that was interesting.  I’ve had a man tell me he thinks he is falling in love with me, then when he saw the tattoos, said I was not a good Jew and that he did not want to see me again.  Interesting.

I like a bald head.  I think there is something sexy about a man with no hair.  I’m not sure why, but perhaps it’s because I think it takes guts to sport a bald head. It’s bold to be bald and I like that.  Keeping up with a bald head is just as much work, if not more, than taking care of hair.

The question is:  Are there any Harley riding, country music loving, tattooed, bald Jewish men?  If you know of one, and he is single, I want to meet him.  I know Jewish men with a couple of the things on my list, but I never met one who had them all.  Maybe it’s an impossible list.

I like to think he is out there right now, listening to Garth Brooks as he cleans his Harley and gets ready for the High Holidays.  He is walking around unaware that I am looking for him.  If you know him, tell him to read my blog, let him know I am waiting, and keeping the faith.

I am not into motorcycles or tatoos, I like country music, don’t really have a preference as far as religion goes, but I can totally get behind the bald part! About 8 or 9 years ago, we went to the Philadelphia Opera Company’s production of Carmen ( my ex wanted to try opera)...anyway we got tickets that were literally front row, center at the Academy of Music ( I was tempted to pat the conductor on his head, but I refrained).  The actor who played the toreodor was bald and man was he HOT!  I swear he smiled right at me, (I was probably gazing at him in total lust), but ever since then, a man who shaves his head completely bald totally gets my attention!

ilana,
i got three out of your five requirements you want to find in a man…
my husband rides a buell (that’s the bastard child of the harley-davidson - a fast bullet bike - i (meaning he) have a need for speed type motorcycle - i (again, meaning he) want to die going 125 mph if not faster…).
music—that man can belt out around any kind of music county, blue grass, southern rock, jazz, blues, soul sister-soul sister, and just about anything. he just sings, if he knows the words or not—-he sings, sometimes funny, tear jerking and most of the time—without realizing he is even doing it-he is singing. but really—you just got to love a man with a song in his heart.
sorry no tatoos because he is a ‘blood-drive’ donor.
now the bald thing is god given, he use to have long black hair that waved down his back. he tells people i pulled it all out, now how cute is that. i sheep sheer is head about once a month, the shorter the better, but not the clean cue ball bald shave. he likes his salt and pepper around his ears—you got to give him that with his gotee stash.
plus he not jewish but neither am i…
i’m just sayin’...
(o.m.g.)
hey, my husband was my first date, first kiss, first love and yes i married him after dating for eight years.
september 5th was our 29th year of marriage. woohoo!!

my sister is looking for the same man although i don’t think she cares about the bald part.  and she doesn’t really care if he has tattoos.  so if you find your guy, ask him if he has a brother for my sister.  she’s 57, beautiful, and extremely young at heart. thanks.

Yes, we are out there.  I am 29, in the Army, I have a few tattoos, including a Japanese sleeve.  I ride a Harley, I’m bald and I love country music.
