l try to live my life openly, without secrets, lies or regrets. l value honesty. I love hard, true, and unconditional...once you are my friend I'll love you that way forever...I trust fully until you give me reason not to. I dislike confrontation, like to look at the big picture, and pick and choose my battles.l act pretty silly most of the time...l can be just as serious and insightful as the situation calls for, but l really enjoy playful moments more. l enjoy a variety of activities... scuba diving, wakeboarding, volleyball, basketball, skiing in the winter...that sort of thing.
Why does everyone say *life is short*? For some it is, but the majority will live 70+ years. Life is too long to be around the wrong people. I can put up with most anything for a short time, but want to be around honest, happy people with a positive outlook. Time is not the enemy...maybe its just me. l really enjoy hand holding and other PDA's...in fact, l can't not do it...maybe just me again.
l have 2 golden retrievers, Diesel and DJ. Update...Diesel is dead...just 1 now...l need a puppy. DJ is kinda retarded in a good way. l believe in being a gentleman, opening doors and such, but wonder why a lot of women don't allow a man to honor them in that way...old fashioned values rock...pause a moment and see if a guy takes the initiative.
l'm kinda outta stuff at the moment...l'm thinking though.
l have a question. Why does EVERYONE take their photo in the bathroom mirror? What's up with that? The forums on pof are a hoot...you should take a look if you've never ventured in there.
My baggage is pretty small, almost rucksack size l saw a good quote the other day, "l may not be perfect, but parts of me are excellent" ah, the profound wisdom of POF. At some point l should probably say what l am looking for in a potential partner, but l don't want to limit myself by any preconceived notions...knock me out of the box, suprise me with who you are and what you bring to the relationship table. l should put the disclaimer in that l am kinda (ok, not kinda) picky and am looking for a woman who is slim/slender or athletic. lts been my experience here on fish that women use average to mean size 12-16...that might well be true for the general population, but l don't want to date the general population. lf your pants are bigger than mine, we probably won't be a good match. That being said, l have dating listed in my profile because that's where all relationships start. What would make me the happiest would be to find my last, best relationship in all ways.

l think 1st meetings are best just being a glass of wine or something similar...no pressure.
