I'll answer emails when I get back..Headed to the beach.

Ok, Right to the point. I know what I want, Do you? Don't hide behind your computer. If you don't actually want to meet then please don't waste my time. Online chatting will be limited. We are all busy with life, but you have to make time to live it too. If you like what you read, then message me. Don't be too shy to say "Hello". And don't be afraid to meet either. I don't bite.

I don't do casual flings, Not into One Night Stands. If you Don't know how to be serious in a relationship, then I'm Not interested. Don't start emailing and then just dissappear. At least say "See Ya" or "I've changed my mind". That is only polite. Show some Class.

Don't read any further unless you are truly looking for a great guy. That being said, If you're serious about finding one of the last really good men, Then Here I Am. (and before you ask why im still single, I'm very picky and don't put up with B.S. or Drama) I'm kind, caring, honest, loyal and very fun loving, affectionate, trust worthy and gainfully employed.

Have all women been burned so badly by the bad one's, the "players", that they now don't recognize a good one when he knocks on their door? I don't get it, If you never take a chance how will you ever meet that "Right" one. I know I'm no Brad Pitt, but try to look past the outside, Beauty fades and all that is left of the person is what is on the inside.

I understand all about being busy, BUT if you seriously are interested in someone, you make time for them, I work an average of 15hrs a day 7 days a week most of the time, and yet I can still make time to spend with someone.

I'm over the game players that are on here. Over the one's that want to talk and talk and never meet.

I'm looking for a woman who is independent, beautiful, and yet considerate without being self-absorbed. I'm looking for someone who is a real lady to enjoy life with me. I'm more interested to see if you can hold a conversation. Looks and hot bodies are nice, as there has to be some physical attraction, but it's the conversation and personality that will keep me.

I'm NOT into long term chatting. If you're not interested in meeting or just want online friends, then please don't waste my time. The only way to really get to know a person is face to face.

I'm looking for someone who is honest, real and wanting to date, leading to a relationship and more, not games.
Distance is not an issue to me for dating.
You can do much much worse than me. I live to laugh, and never let life get me down. I love to travel, and am up for a roadtrip and the drop of a hat. I hate being bored so try to stay busy. I'm looking for one good person to share life with. All I want is one.

In Pictures I always look like I'm a "bigger" guy, I guess that's why the "Bigger" girls always want to write me, I'm not. I tend to be between athletic and average (average meaning height/weight proportionate based on the BMI), depending on the time of the year, I'm always more active in summer. I hate the cold so tend not to do as much (unless it's going to someplace tropical) I am NOT interested in someone who is overweight (sorry if it offends, but we all like what we like). So please don’t waste my time or yours.

I’m the managing director of cyclotron operations for a nuclear pharmaceutical company.

I know what I want out of life. I am brave, courageous, honest, loyal and very protective of my loved ones. When you think of me think more of a John Wayne type of guy. Because I have a strong will, that leads people think that I am rather intense, or rigid and stubborn, that's just the packaging. The ones who really know me will tell you I'm pretty "laid back". Inside, I am very tender and passionate. I have a good sense of humor and can be a little sarcastic with my wit, but it’s never meant to hurt. I care very much for others, but I don't suffer fools lightly.

There are several things in a relationship that I hold most important. I believe respect, love, sincerity, honesty, trust, passion and communication are what make a successful relationship. Leave out ANY ONE of those and it's doomed to failure. My feelings about someone tend to be very deep and profound, not superficial. I don't give my love or my trust lightly. When I do give it, I give my all. I've been deeply hurt in the past, but I promise you it's worth the effort to pull the walls down and get the armor off. Though I warn you the walls are high and the armor thick.

I have an in depth understanding of people and of life in general. I am perceptive and unafraid to speak my mind. (Been accused more than once about not having a filter between my brain and my mouth)

I was raised in the south, and was raised to be a gentleman, so I only know one way to treat a lady and that's with respect. I still open doors, make sure you always walk on the side of me opposite of traffic, hold out chairs..Etc, etc.

"Too Nice" I've been called too many times, I'm just looking for one woman who won't try to take advantage what I have to offer. Most mistake my being a gentleman and being polite as a weakness, I'm not weak as they soon find out. You can't take advantage of me, so just looking for one who won't try.

My self confidence comes from the fact that I believe in myself. If you don't believe in yourself, no one else will. I don't let life get me down. I am a true Scorpio and all that it implies (Might want to look that up).

I'm not looking for someone I can live with; I'm looking for someone I cannot live without. I'll not settle for less ever again. I do believe that there is a soul-mate for us all. I've been close, but it's always ended up lacking one of the important factors (respect, love, sincerity, honesty, trust, passion or communication).

I'm looking for someone who is drama free (by my definition of drama) and who truly wants a commitment, someone who knows the meaning of family, how to live life to the fullest. I have no time for B.S. in my life, so if you're about that, then I'm not interested.

to recap :
You
between 21-40 years of age (not that I wouldn't consider younger or older)
attractive (not interested in anyone that is overweight and by overweight I mean someone who has a bigger waist than I have...a couple extra pounds are ok just dont be grossly overweight..be height/weight proportinate..sorry)
non-smoker (Preferably)
children are ok
employed
race unimportant

First Dates Hmmm? That really depends on the person. It could be simple coffee for the first meeting, Dinner and drinks. Or we could hop a plane to Disney, the beach, or Vegas for the weekend. Bungee jumping, SkyDiving (I've always wanted to try it..cant find anyone to go with me). I tend to prefer the adventurous personality type people. Are you willing to just throw caution to the wind? Do you know how to live life? Most talk a good game but can't step up to bat. How about you? Don't step up if you can't keep up. We only have one life to live and it's a short one at that, Too short to be bored, and Too long to live it alone.
