Hi, my name is Joe! Like everyone else, I joined POF as another outlet for dating. To knock it out right away, I am five years divorced, and I have no children. If you can get past that, so can I.

I am conventional in a sense that I believe in manners, being a gentleman, opening car doors, being romantic, and sharing an absolute 50/50% of the relationship. I am pretty self sufficient, and I love to cook and have been doing so since I was a kid.

I did grow up on Rock N' Roll [thanks mom]. So, some of my passions include writing and playing guitar. That has been the case over half my life now. I've also had the pleasure of studying Forensic Psychology, and I'm in the process of pursuing an advanced degree in that field. Consequently, that was my undergrad study also. My newest passion would be motorcycles. I bought my first bike a little over a year ago, and haven't looked back since. I love fresh air, I love road trips, and I love beautiful scenery. I've seen half the country in a car, and now I've seen some of it on a bike. I have a mid size cruiser, and my favorite speeds don't really go past 65/70. I bought it to enjoy it, not race in and out of traffic.

My general likes include movies, music, concerts, outdoor events, hanging with friends, sometimes xbox, I'm somewhat tattooed, and I'm always setting new goals. I also value my friends and family very much. I am employed as part of a management team in the hospitality business, and I have also been a substitute teacher for the last 7 going to on 8 years. I'm also a vegetarian, and don't drink or smoke.

I am looking for a girl to share things in life with. I think having common interests and goals are pretty important. However, it's equally important to me to have dissimilar interests in order to share new things together. I generally look for women who are strong, independent, intelligent, and who have their own goals. Ultimately, I'm looking for the girl to spend all different occasions with.

So, if you like what you just read, I hope to hear from you soon.

Joe

Anything that gives us a chance to get to know each other. Not a concert we can't hear at, and not a movie that we can't necessarily talk at. Low key is fine with me.
