I am not a complicated man...but there is a lot to tell so one may understand what I state here is a bit difficult. I will say, however, that I truly believe in love. I have had the pleasure of a small number of committed relationships, and I am not one to shy away from traditional values of one man and one woman. Thus, I am a one woman kind of fella. I have the "stuff" we think we want to make, and keep, us happy and fulfilled. I can tell you, with true honesty, that material things will not do the trick. I've seen both sides of life, its amazing wonders and its darkest horrors, and real love is what matters...goodness matters...character and integrity matter! NOT whether I have a beautiful home and a yuppy sports car! Ladies, please know I am not your average man. I have been nearly everywhere and done nearly everything, except find the love that can last a lifetime through the pitfalls, oceans, and mountains that come before us all. This is not a game for the fainthearted. Love can have you flying through the stars, and I want that again. So, if ya want a real man, with real ideals, a real heart, real desires and a love of life...then write to me. However, if you are looking for someone with no scars, no remembrances of heartache, and one that has only kinda walked the proverbial fence of life...pass me by. But, if ya feel like living, and being deeply loved...latch on...I promise it will be a ride you neve[/U]r t[/I]hou[/B]ght exis[/SIZE]ted![/B][/SIZE]

My Ideal Person I'm looking for a woman who believes in a one man, one man relationship. I don't like to share and I don't have time for games. I like a woman with a great sense of humor who can appreciate a good man that works hard and does the best she can. I am looking for a woman who is warm, sweet, gentle, affectionate, passionate, honest, down to earth, genuine, understanding, committed and a non smoker. Someone who is romantic, and knows how to treat a man. Now a days that is so hard to find a queen with those traits.also I look for woman that attend church and will attend with me sometimes, and enjoy doing things together weather they are things she like doing or things I like doing. I strongly believe a family that prays together stays together. You can never lose with God on your side. Just put him first and everything else will fall in line.

I am not looking for controllers, abusers, bigots, players, liars, thieves, cheaters, slobs, cowards, , couch potatoes or neat freaks.

Extra bonus if I can find a woman who enjoys cooking, plays a musical instrument, is creative in the arts of any kind; writing, painting, photography - whatever, who enjoys building and/or fixing things and who loves/respects animals as much as I do.
