It’s official. I found my true calling.
I’ve often fantasized about leaving the intriguing world of coiled tubing rigs, subsea trees and light well intervention for something a bit more on the creative side. Perhaps I could frequent my neighborhood coffee shop and write a best selling book on the back of stained paper napkins. Or I could move to New York City and become a Pop Watch blog writer for Entertainment Weekly. Maybe I could finally achieve that life-long dream of being a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader.
Never in a million years did I think pimping would be something I enjoy. And I certainly didn’t expect my Big Pimpin’ category to get almost as many hits as my Bachelor recaps.
Granted, my first subject was quite the catch. And since we share the same DNA, I was able to work out all the kinks with his “season” just in time get everything in order for our second installment.
Meet my friend Lawrence.
I know. You should see his eyes in person.
Ironically, it wasn’t his eyes that caught my attention when I first met him. It was his smile. Or should I say teeth? Have you ever seen pearly whites this perfect before? Is his Dad a dentist? Does he have floss in his desk? Does he use those Crest white strips?
Clearly, these were questions that needed to be immediately answered.
About a year before I left the Dallas agency where I used to work, Lawrence graced us with his presence. And when I say “us,” I mean me and webMAN.
The PR department and the Movie department cubes were right next to each other. Lawrence was the young guy straight out of college that had to do mundane jobs, like clip movie ads out of the Morning News and stuff passes into envelopes.
webMAN and I immediately sized him up. Sure…he looked like he could hang with the cool kids, but looks aren’t everything. There was a delicate inner-office balance and this Lawrence fellow could throw us all off if we weren’t careful.
I had my first breakthrough with Lawrence inside the storage closet that our departments shared. I was stuffing our side full of Central Market cookbooks and Maggiano’s lemon cookies. He was stuffing their side full of Polar Express toy trains and Mean Girls posters.
Lincee: “Look. You’re new. I think you need to know how things go around here…”
Lawrence: “Hey! [signature grin] Do you want a screening pass to Harry Potter?”
That’s when I knew that he was one of us and this would be a friendship that would last forever.
Lawrence is a sweet guy who is always surrounded by friends and fun. I’m excited for you to get to know him better in the next few weeks. I’ve made it my personal mission to find him an adorable girl. Call your friends, daughters and sisters people. He is a good one!
In keeping with tradition, I provided Lawrence with a list of questions to answer. I will be revealing a few more details each Thursday in the upcoming weeks. Feel free to email me with additional questions.
And if you are bold, go ahead and send in your own personal profile and accompanying photo!
Let the pimpin’ begin!
Age: 28
Height: 5’9”
City: Dallas
1. What is a typical work day for Lawrence?
I am a film publicist. My official title is Senior Account Executive.

Frosted Flakes or Shredded Wheat
I also really like Maypo (Maple flavored Oatmeal)
4. Mountains or beach? Beach
5. What is your favorite food?
I’m a steak and potatoes kind of guy. But I like pizza, fish, pasta, burgers and bratwurst. Pretty much anything that you can grill.
6. Favorite TV show?
Can I name shows? Weeds, Entourage, Californication, How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men, Big Bang Theory, NCIS, 30 Rock and The Office. Wow – I might watch a little too much TV.

I would love to be able play NHL hockey and win the Stanley Cup. It’s a dream, right?
12. What qualities of the opposite sex would you HAVE to have in a potential mate?
Funny, ambitious, caring, not afraid to show me who she really is. I need someone who believes in communication. Someone who thinks that a compromise is better than a sacrifice. Ideally this person’s looks would only add to the positive qualities.
Now THAT’S what I want to see on the Bachelor. No more rejects! This guy is pure gold. I’m going to ask my husband if I can put him on my “list.”
ugh. too bad i live in kc…he is a catch!
Seriously, where was this kind of pimpin when i was single? I know where to look next time around. I am a teeth freak and he has the prettiest teeth ever. Any girl would be happy to see him show up at their door. HELLO HANDSOME. I will be telling my friends about him!!
SERIOUSLY PRECIOUS! I AM IN LOVE WITH HIM ALMOST AS MUCH AS MIKEY MIKE AND THE FUNKY BUNCH! THAT’S IT I AM MOVING BACK TO TEXAS!
Wow! Looks like I need to start hanging out in Dallas!
You sersiously found your calling. RETIRE – NOW – and do this full time. Pimp me out up in Vermont. I’m serious. I’m convinced that the men here live in a bonafide man cave up in the mountains, sit in a circle, beat on a moosehide drum and chant. They just haven’t felt the need to come down yet. So let’s hope they have WiFi in the cave and are filling out their I Hate Greenbeans profiles together over green tea.
I’ve always said i would NEVER EVER IN A MILLION YEARS MOVE TO DALLAS OR HOUSTON FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY DEAR JESUS. I’m from Austin, can you blame me? But this, this lovely man bless his beautiful face and sweet heart, might prove there is hope for the Big D yet. And the fact that the best friend is there helps.
Loves, my dear. Keep up the pimpin’ perfection.
Heart. Melting.
I’m so MAD at myself for leaving Dallas! If I only knew . . .
As a DFW gal, I’d really like to know where this secret stash of guys are hiding.
How could I have missed him!?!? I must have left L&H too soon! Just know that I’m in Dallas and I’ve decided that this is my “summer-O-dating”…….I am channeling my inner Jillian.
Oh. My. Awesomeness.
Lincee you’re too good at this!
Holy crap, he is gorgeous! If I didn’t live in CT, I’d be signing up in a heartbeat!
ok – close the phone lines. i know who his perfect match is….what email address do i send her info to??
seriously…i can’t get your email to work. we’re talkin’ baylor grad, too. what’s lincee’s email??
I have a lady for Larry, how do I “submit” her???
Ashley,
linceeray@gmail.com.
So exciting!
He’s adorable, and must have a great sense of humor too, judging by the plethera of fantastic tv shows he watches (apparently I watch too much tv too)! Unfortunately for me, not many guys are willing to relocate to Lubbock (and I can’t leave)… so I’m probably out.
Unless he’s got some crazy thing for Buddy Holly or the Maines brothers and is willing to relocate? Here’s to hoping!
By the way, I’m not sure why you keep fighting your calling- it might be whatever it is you’re doing, it might be pimping, but it MIGHT be writing. Write a book, girl. I’d buy it.
I live in Dallas!! But what I really want to know is does he love Jesus?
how can we pimp YOU out, Lincee? Great sense of humor a must.
I think I found my TV match made in heaven. Our DVR’s would be madly in love.
He’s a cutey. Good luck!!!
I feel the love…..but he’s my height. I guess it’s a good thing I’m happily married! He sure is a hottie though………
Man, if I wasnt married!! I hope you find him somebody amazing!
What a great idea Lincee – keep it up! Both he and your cousin seem like great catches! Too bad I live in Philly or I would get right in line. Keep us posted!
lincee… why don’t YOU go for lawrence?! you’d be a cute couple.
love,
your matchmaker,
ruth
p.s. your bill comes to $75 for this match service. thank you kindly.
Oh Lincee, you little vixen…. at it again! And quite a cutie this time too!!! I was thinking the same thing…. of course the last one was blood related, but this one isn’t!!! Send yourself your own profile!
I’m racking my brain for more single females in my life in their twenties… I’ll get back to ya! Oh. My. Awesomeness. is right.
I don’t know, something shady about this “Lawrence” character… if that’s his *real* name. Might help if you post another pic of Lawrence doing his Halpert face.
On another note, since you seem to be expanding your range of services, can you pls provide any suggestions you may have for a little girl’s name? I’m almost 6 months along and so far it’s looking like Jane Doe.
OMG. This is sooooooooooo fantastic! I live in DFW. I’m friends with Lawrence. He’s a GREAT guy! If you are considering sending in your info… JUST DO IT! (thank you NIke for letting me borrow your slogan)
OH.MY.AWESOMENESS is right! Too bad I’m in Chicago! hmmmm…tell us Lincee – how does he feel about out of towners? I’m willing to relocate – I’d probably can guarantee I’d miss my flight back staring at those eyes and yummy smile!
You’ve got two callings sistah – writing and pimping out hot dudes! WORK IT!
This is so fun!
I happen to know Lawrence and he is a great guy, ladies! Go for it, send your info you…you know you want to
I know this guy! We went to Tech together and hung out quite a bit after graduating and moving to Dallas! He is super nice, fun AND a good kisser!!!
Oh, if only I weren’t about to get married! Where was he when I was single and living in Dallas??? and working in PR???
I am too old, darn it…he is beautiful. Does he have a single uncle/brother/dad, late 40’s? AND thanks for rubbing it in # 31!!!
man, poor lawrence…all the marrieds… but at least we have confirmation that he’s legit (2 legit to quit??) AND apparently a good kisser. On Tech alumni to the next… does he want to come to a football game? Cause we have season tickets.
Again, i can’t emphasize enough that if he’s willing to relocate, i’m IN. 
if not, sad story. oh well! Good luck gals!
He is too cute! Why are you pimping him out and not keeping him for yourself? Is OKC too far of a commute for Lawrence? Thats where I’m at, and I have more single lady friends too!
I find myself looking/staring at his picture…..
Wow, I’m just glad I got pimped first or this guy would have left the cupboard bare! Ha, good luck getting pimped out. Lincee is the master.
I have to say, his smile was the first thing that caught my eye too. What a cutie! I’m sure it won’t take long for him to be snatched up!
So Elliot….did the “pimping out” work for you? You don’t have to kiss and tell but let us know.
Lincee…Do you not see love staring YOU in the face????
WOW — what a beautiful man and I’m happily married. (rats
) .. kidding my husband 
Lincee – I don’t understand why you’re not smiling that smile at him??? Geez… don’t pass along the good stuff… keep if for yourself!!
He is awesomeness. To bad I am a bit older than he is. If you ever find some older gentlemen……
Thanks for all of the kind comments.
Very nice! Can Houston girls get in on this??
I am terribly sad that I am 10 years old than this adorable man, conveniently located in my town. Good luck to Lawrence.
How do you know 40 is too old? Maybe he likes older women. I’m 54, single, petite. Houston area. You just never know. I’m fixin’ to move soon though…lol.
My house is for sale, unless I find a reallllly good reason to stay here.
OK — the next guy has to be over 50 — for your “senior” fans!! I’m serious!
BTW – I’m looking forward to meeting you at Lauren’s wedding in August. I’m one of your biggest fans!
#26 Broady: I’m about 5 1/2 months along. I’m having a boy, but If it was a girl, her name would’ve been Sadie Grace. Hope that helps!
To address the growing concern about why Lincee and I don’t date…as much as we both know how magical it would be, being friends is the best thing for us. If we were dating, then how could she “pimp” me out on her lovely blog?
I hate arkansas is sooooooooooooooooo far from Texas. I am in the wrong state apparently haha!
How about a southern girls in NYC edition of Big Pimpin’?
Nice pick!!! I’m scrolling my DFW single ladies rolodex now…Q2: If Jake is NOT the next Bach- do you think he would let you pimp him?!! I hope so!!!
#48 W3 I agree, next pimpee should be over 50.
Adorable. DFW in the house here. What’s your age range Lawrence? So we know if we have a shot. Is lower 30s too old?
I am moving to Dallas…tomorrow.
Ummm… THOSE EYES. Hello!
Wishing I could deal with the Texas heat to be a contender… but alas, I am in San Francisco. I had to comment though because he got the “best concert ever” answer exactly right! That DMB show was amazing… hands down, best show ever. Not to mention his answers to most of his other questions… He surely is a catch. Now if only they made them like this here in SF!
Hello!
Please move to San Diego, California….we need more guys like this
Is Wichita Falls too far? I visit friends in DFW all the time!
Well…I have a fabulous sister that needs a great match. She’s a nurse in the ER at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas. 5′4″, auburn hair, hilariously sarcastic, but an amazing heart and love for God and our family. She’s a catch, but it’s going to take a special guy…… Hmm, maybe we should arrange a meeting?
Holy cow he is a hottie!! Oh and the teeth, I am a teeth nut, it’s the first thing I notice and he has such great teeth! He has to have someone in his family that’s a dentist!
Oh, those eyes. Lawrence sounds like a great catch! Where can I send the profile and the picture? Here’s a preview of me –
Hi, my name is Jennifer. I am 29, an attorney, 5′10″ and I have strawberry blonde hair. I love to travel and to cook!
Hi! I have a sister who would be a great match!. Lincee are you drinking from your pimp cup today or what? What is the process for sending the info for potential set ups!!?!
Dang, I wish I lived in TX. Lincee, can you big pimp some of us ladies out too?
Is this for real?? My sister-in-law is 32 and she is beautiful. She lives in Atlanta now is that OK??
Lincee, you need to capitalize on this! have a pimpin’ dallas, pimpin’ NYC, pimpin’ DC…particularly the DC one…we definitely need more men like yours!! 2:1 girl to guy ratio around here…
Is Lawrence a friend of yours on facebook? (So I can facebook stalk him before I buy my plane ticket…)
Would he want to move to Atlanta?? He seems too good to be true! If Kiptynitous and I don’t work out, I am totally going for Lawrence.
OMG I think i know this guy. Did he go to Texas Tech? I recall making out with this hottie at a frat party one sophomore night. Go Red Raiders!!
