Recently divorced for nearly a year. Would like to meet someone and develop a true friendship that has no secrets. I want to truly know a wonderful woman from the core out & for her to get to know me the same. Then if the friendship develops from there, we will actually have a foundation to build on and grow closer. A little bit about me. I have three children from my previous marriage. All three are unbelievable and genuine individuals of there own. Each destined to be truly great people who will make they're mark on this world and leave it in a better spot than what they had found it in. My first born is married with a family of his own and my daughter, 15 yoa along with my youngest son, 13 yoa live with they're mother. I am a Narcotics Officer and have a full time live in partner of four years now. His name is Repo and coincidentally has four legs, although he is extremely well trained and disciplined. He is NOT friendly. That being said, he's not supposed to be. However, once he's seen that someone is an important part of my life, he accepts them and they become an important part of his. And he turns into a lap dog. GOD, help you if that happens, he's a real ham if you get to that stage. So, whom ever I might come to know, will no doubt have to have a strong fondness of Canines. I don't drink, not because I've anything against it, other than when they've been drinking and then get behind the wheel. And I don't smoke. I do dip snuff and have done so since the age of twelve. So just to be clear, I have no wish to stop, if I had I would of already done so. Besides, no one likes a quiter! I love to tease and kid around. I'm blunt and direct and in truth, I'm perceived as being rude at times. Never an intention to be rude or disrespectful to anyone. I try hard to be as nice as I'm allowed to be. I have no issue telling anyone the facts as I see it. Most everything I do is iether 100% or not at all. I have a strong belief that anything worth doing is worth doing well and all the way, otherwise, why bother. And last but certainly not least. Money, important to all of one degree or another. I could careless about money. I've seen it ruin Marriages, Destroy lives from the lack thereof, and from those who have way damn to much. Money is not a measure of wealth, but rather a measure of ones character. I measure Wealth by the amount of true and close friends. Money is spent and then it's gone. A true friend will always be there. So, I hope this gives a little insight to what kind of man I am and what is important to me. I hope there's a beautiful woman out there that might believe and feel along the same as I do.
