I am an honest, trustworthy, & responsible man looking for someone to share my time & love with. I'm not into the head games, jealous making & the drama some feel is worth their time. I don't. I have never been a cheater & never will be. I was married for 23 years to the same woman, whom I will always love & respect. If you want to date around, just make it apparent to me & give me the same consideration's. I will ALWAYS take your feeling's into consideration, BEFORE acting upon any situation that involves you, even on the first date. I would expect the same from you. Rather than playing games, I'm much more interested in pleasing you & fulfilling your womanly needs, than I am trying to fulfill my own manly needs & not just in bed. If you put those priorities in the proper order, one takes care of the other. I’m a happy very man. I like who I am & know how to treat a girl. It takes two people helping each other to actually have a happy and successful relationship. I open doors for my girl, pull out and push in chairs, actually, speak to you when you come home from work, ask you how your day was. I say, “Please.” & “Thank you.” I don’t mind helping to do dishes, fill up the car, help with the laundry, cook suppers, go to the grocery with or without you.
Satisfaction is usually not hard to come by, if there’s communication and selfless honesty. Those are definitely my two best qualities. Communicating with you...honestly.
If you like getting flowers for no reason, you will like being my lady. I don't just buy them; if you're that special to me; I pick them. If you like candy...so do I, so you may not get any. (Just seeing if you're paying attention, so when you write me, I'll know if you read my profile or if you're just after me for s*x. HA!) You'll get candy. I guess the best thing I could give you is....a kiss, but not just any kiss. I really do like holding hands, walking with our arms around each other & hands in our back pockets; I do….but I REALLY like kissing. I have a real NEED for my lady to like kissing me & to be kissed. If you feel that you might need a little help in this area, it's OK, just say so. I'll be more than happy to aide you in this area.
I enjoy being outside, working on our house, maintaining the things we own, building/repairing things (anything to do with wood), etc. I've gotten pretty decent at wood~burning; creating picture frames, plaques, wood puzzles, etc. & then burning designs into the wood. It takes a fairly steady hand & some patience, but the outcome is kind of unique. I like camping, fishing & frisbee. I don't get there as often as I use to, but I love the beach! I stay in shape by exercising, meditating, swimming & lifting weights, but I'm not a "gym rat." I enjoy a healthy aspect towards life.
My goals are to pay off my house, make sure my sons & grandchildren are "taken care of," & finding someone to share my time & life with. Along with finding that someone, I have a genuine goal of being an important, contributing factor daily & being responsible; but my girl will see me as a man who was never too busy to attend to her & that I was always willing and unforced in my decisions to maintain & honor her love towards me, throughout our lives. I want her to know, without question, that the man I decide to be is because she makes me feel the worth & importance of being there for her & had no doubt whatsoever that the choices I made throughout our lives were no mistake & were of obvious intent to better both of our lives. I will always be emotionally & physically available to you.
I enjoy the company of an open~minded, mature & attractive LADY. I'm not into mind games, immature name calling or being dishonest. Each of these traits are a complete turnoff to me. Those who are indecisive, selfish, inconsiderate and/or self~loathing are not seeing life clearly. I can't say it's a turnoff, but it's not a turn on. I believe that if you can't get passed certain daily or past experiences, you should be willing & capable of letting other's help you through the negative thoughts & actions you've acquired. Surround yourself with the right individuals & be willing to accept constructive criticism(in a positive form) from a positive person who can relate with your situation; being careful & aware of those who are just telling you what you want to hear. Every one of us needs help along life's road; we just have to put aside our pride, frustration & ego & be willing to accept the help available. I know that's not always easy, but it can be MUCH harder if you continue to ignore that help. I get so much more out of giving to other's than I do receiving from them. It really doesn't seem to matter whether it's money or my time; it just seems to pay off, in many ways. If someone asks me for help, they won't have to ask twice. If I do a job, it may take me a little longer, but the job WILL be done correctly. Money or compensation is usually not that important. I get paid back in other ways; money is not the greatest compensation you can receive.
I see myself as a very fortunate man. I was involved in an accident @ six years ago that nearly took my life & it was an experience that humbled me, causing me to re-evaluate my priorities. If scars bother you, I'm not your guy. They're not grotesque, but they are there. They are a part of my me, kind of a package deal. They're not a problem for me & I'd hope they won't be for you. I made a full recovery a few years ago & have managed to come out a better man for it. My scars are on my left leg, hip & under my left forearm. I lost a some muscle under that left forearm that doesn't allow my fingers to fully extend. I also lost some muscle behind my left leg and buttock area. If we get along & find we are compatible, I have no problem showing you. If you'd like to see them first thing, on the first date, PLEASE, DON'T BOTHER SENDING ME A MESSAGE OF INTEREST. I bleed red and breathe the same air as you. With all due respect, I have feelings and they're likely not of genuine concern to you. Rent a horror flick. All my body functions work normal & I don't need assistance in any way shape or form. I just have a few scars (and NOT on any of the important/necessary parts.) I have NO problems performing s*x in any way at all. Oh, yeah. I DO have one thing that I can do that no other guy can do. There's not a girl alive that wouldn't want to experience it and, yes, I'm serious. I've had only one girl that had an issue with my scar's.
Music? I have a pretty wide range of likings & interest's. I'm not big on rap or hip hop. I like country music, some classical & love the blues; but my heart has always been with rock & roll. Led~Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, Alison Krauss & Union Station (esp. her solo work), Aerosmith, Hank Williams, Jr., Whitesnake (esp. early work), Motley Crue, Steve Vai, etc.
I hope to hear from you; but if I don't, I wish you the best of luck. Take care. ~ Gene ~
