i have tried the online dating sites and met a few ladies that were fun and interesting, but no lasting connections. i thought i might give this a try since giving up on the regular dating sites almost a year ago. is it me, or are most people my age hung up on there past mistakes and concerns of not repeating them to the point that they have a very closed perspective when meeting new people? i am hoping that the nature of this site allows for more open minded views and outlooks on meeting new friends. i would like to meet ladies who can keep an open mind and treat life as an adventure and not a daily grind that is simply endured as a means to an end...i am immature, irresponsible, impulsive, i like to take chances and push my luck and these are my good qualities...i like to work out at least 3 days a week, but i am not a muscle head, i do it to stay in shape and because i enjoy it. i am lucky in that i love what i do for a living and havent lost my passion for it in over 16 years of doing it. i love to ride and go to north georgia twice a year to camp and ride the twisty mountain roads.

i dont know if i have a type, not one that can be quantified in a paragraph. i am attracted to many different things about different ladies. sometimes it may be her eyes, her smile, the way she carries herself or maybe its something intangible like her sense of humor or something else that only i can see in her. i believe that setting preconceived lists about what we want or dont want in a partner or friend, we are inevitably doomed to failure and i think that if we keep an open mind, anything is possible. dont get me wrong, physical attraction is important, but the last girl i dated (met her online) looked fairly average in her photo, but when we met in person i couldnt take my eyes off of her. i am glad that i took a chance. i have had it go the other way as well if ya know what i mean (photos from highschool, or that look nothing like the person, etc), but i try to stay positive.

if my honest approach about myself has netted some flaws, look at it this way, at least you know now and will not have to meet and find yet another person who has created the perfect profile, only to find out that, again they have misrepresented themselves to "set the hook"....i have no illusions about being perfect and i have accepted my flaws.........have you? if ya want a pic, just ask. i will not post one up in the main area, until i feel more comfortable about the site and its users....update: busted...face pic in main now..

i am looking for a lover and a friend or maybe just an adventure. what are you passionate about and what will it take to get you out of your comfort zone? i am passionate about quite a few things, but you will have to contact me to find out more....

is it obvious yet that i dont follow directions well....
