Okay... here goes.
I am trusting and can be trusted (I know, I know, already too good to be true)
hard working, motivated, loyal (almost to a fault) open, loving, generous, and oh yah, REAL!

There are far far too many people on here who deceive and mislead...if your picture is your daughter, friend, or sister, or from 15 years ago, don't contact me!

If you are looking for a guy to take advantage of, or plan on cheating on him, or if you use kind hearted men, then vamoose!

If you are not good to children, and don't help those in need, scram!

If you are dating 20 guys, sleeping with half of them, go away (and see a doctor)!

If you have no faith in god then run along

If you think the government owes you a living then move. (I'm okay with helping people in need, not people who don't feel like working)

I may sound harsh here, but all of these things HAVE happened to me on here. I don't know why I keep trying, eternal optimist I guess.

With that said, if you are honest, genuine, kind hearted, spirited and looking to find ONE very good man, who will love honor and cherish "the one" for eternity (or until his mind goes :) then PLEASE PLEASE contact me!

I have met a few decent people on here, so don't think I'm a pessimist, but I have met some dooseys too! I love to laugh and make people smile, I don't fight, I hug and kiss...sometimes it's tough, but if you love someone there is no reason to fight. The occasional disagreement is expected, but if things get tense, I just throw my arms around you, plant a gentle, loving kiss on your lips, then once all is calm, talk it out. I love to pull out the chair for a lady (no, not so you fall on your keester) open a door, bring flowers for no reason, cook dinner (and clean up and do the dishes, I even know how to work a washer and dryer!)...chivalry is not dead here! I will give you the remote control, put up those shelves you asked me to in a timely manner, but most of all, I will just plain love "the one" absolutely, unconditionally, and completely!

I do live life, and each day as if it were my last "every breath I take brings me one more closer to my last". That is a line from a song that strikes me to the core every time I hear it. With that said, I am currently attending college for Business Management. I have been in management for over 20 years, and now am "semi retired". No, not rich, just in a place where I can afford to slow down and smell the coffee. I have always wanted my degree, but raising the kids I didn't have time. Now I have the time so I am doing it for me.

Some of my likes include:
Walks on the beach at sunset, 80's rock (and pop) Jazz, and even some modern music. I love architecture, travel, cooking (yes, me cooking, not you)Sunday drives down a road with no lines in a classic convertible, anything and everything outdoors, camping, boating, snowmobiling, motorcycling, museums, wine, beer, NASCAR, Brewers, Packers (but I will put up with Cub and Bear fans)and charity.

Is it so hard to find a good, kind hearted, non judgemental woman on here? I know you are out there! I am not looking to rush into things, I am not looking to marry next week (but it would be nice eventually) I am a single father of three, I raised them myself for 16 years, but they are now out of the house. I love kids and have no problem if you have them! I am fairly free of drama, I have a few issues, but don't we all?
The last thing I want to say is I know I'm not Brad Pitt in the looks department, but I don't believe I'm too hard on the eyes either. My mother told me many things shortly before she died...one of them that has stuck with me is "looks fade in time, but persobnality endures" Yes, I know there must be some physical attraction, but to all of you who go for looks first, ask yourself why am I still single? I have made bad choices in my life, and that's why I'm on here instead of happily married...what I have been doing simply isn't working. Is it working for you? Take a chance, drop me a line, or answer mine...what can it hurt?

I guess I have taken up enough space and time here, If you want to know more, drop a line!

Just depends on the lady...maybe coffee or a drink, a walk along the river ???
