I am just a single dad of 2 teens, looking for a special friendship. Someone whom I can go out with, someone to be my friend and possibly more...... I am a foreman for a local construction company and I also have my own carpentry business. I have been in the military for 19 years, I just returned from a year in Iraq and am ready to find the special person.....One that I can laugh with, and share life experiences with....
I am tired of all the stuck- up females around here. At least some sort of a response would be nice..... Sorry, I am a straight shooter. I hide nothing and I say what I feel. If you can't deal with someone that is forward, or speaks his opinion, you might want to move on. I am no "yes man". But, if honest and upfront is what you want. Give me a holler. I can be reached at yankee_161 on yahoo messenger. Oh yea, why do most 30 to 40 some ladies feel that they should put up pictures of them at a bar or drinking.... does this seem like an attractant to them....It shows that they are partiers.... or a bar fly.... not really what all men want, but, if you show this, your going to get the same type of man.... good luck with that....If you do have bar pictures, make sure they aren't of you in a drunk state, or being stupid. I good friend of mine, on here, has several of her in a bar. THey are nice pictures, they do not give off the impression of her being a bar fly at all. If they did I would tell her. LOL
Another thing I have noticed. If you feel you have to show a picture that is full of your cleavage or a ton of skin to attarct attention to your profile....You might what to do a little soul searching. You don't see me with a picture in spandex shorts so my junk is exposed... Most guys that respond to a profile with a picture like that, are looking for one thing. If any girl wants some advice on thier profile from a man that is going to give an honest "man" opinion. Shoot me an email. But, be prepared to hear what you don't want to. I am quite sure, my opinons on here will drive more women away than it will attract. But, thats fine with me. THey probably weren't the one's I would want to be with. Ok I am off my soap box......
I made a change on my profile on my status... just too see if anyonw would notice....
Also., My profile says friends..... I hope things can start that way then progress. If We meet and things are good but, not upto long term status... THen I hope that the friends status will remain.

Anything that will make us both feel at ease and happy. Oh yea we must laugh....... I love to laugh! Dinner, movie, maybe I nice walk.
