***PLEASE READ CAREFULLY***

I have tried this site a few times over the years. Of course you have to give it a break sometimes...but I read profiles carefully and really try to pick out ones I really think I am compatible with.

The biggest complaint I read is guys are not being real men, not stepping up to the plate. They're playing games and lying and...looking to "hook up"!! And yet, I have some women...not alot...say, "Wow, your a really nice guy, when I first looked at you, you were so intimidating"..or.."I'm not usually into muscular type guys.".. or.."You probably want someone who works out alot..."

With that being said, ladies...real men are strong, yet sensitive. We are sweet, yet not pushovers, affectionate without thinking it's weak. Real men are supposed to be well rounded...big, strong, educated, decisive, kind...this ladies is what I am!!

I am an old fashioned guy with a twist. I'm very ethical and loyal, sometimes to a fault...I love to try new things, share my feelings, and be affectionate.

I would love for a woman to give me a better definition of loyalty than I have. Loyalty is the biggest turn on...to be unconditional is amazing!!

**OK, BACK TO BUSINESS...**

Don't get me wrong...lol...I do come with faults. I am a "Leo" to the definition. I am stubborn, straight forward, opinionated and can generally just be a pain in the ass. But the traits that drive you crazy are usually the same ones you crave.

I do come with a warning label-Granted my wilder days are behind me, I still enjoy being a little crazy. But I am very much a homebody, and enjoy cooking and wine and a movie at home.

Some of my interests are working out, cooking, reading Nicholas Sparks' books, I'm a movie freak (especially horror movies...vampires, old zombie movies, etc), traveling, history, walking malls and people watching, I love sports, I do love to shop, and pretty much everything else!!LOL

When it comes to what kind of woman I like...I do not have a "type" like alot of men do. I will say that I do LOVE eyes and hair...I melt for both!

So there is my description and how I feel...I am a man who is very deep and worldly and I have alot to offer the person I let in my heart.

I hope to hear from you and if you really read all this, God bless ya'...you're a patient person..LOL!!

Thanks for checking me out and you will get points for knowing my name! :)

I'm a big fan of Caribou Coffee. I do enjoy meeting early and if things go well maybe go for a walk somewhere. I am a big fan of lunch or dinner, we all have to eat!lol...
