Are you looking for trouble or a broken heart??? If you are, please stop reading now... Seriously, go back now before it's too late!!!

I grew up in a small rural town in Northwestern Kansas and moved to the St. Louis area during my divorce 14 years ago to be closer to my brothers. I am an honest guy and consider myself a realist. I was raised with good moral values and learned early on the Golden Rule of treating others with respect. Yes, this includes women too!!!

I am open to trying almost anything once, but I do have my limits. I have learned in life that if it does not kill you, it will only make you stronger. I own up to my mistakes and try to make the best of what life throws at me. Speaking the truth, even when it maybe painful, is better then telling a lie and then getting caught up in the deceit. Good communication is a key element in the success to any relationship.

As odd as this may sound, I know my way around the kitchen and I enjoy cooking!!! Oh, I do have a few tattoos so if ink bothers you, we could still be friends ;) I bet you thought I was going to tell you to move on to the next profile... Didn't you???

A good friend, companion, partner in crime is a good start. I am not on here looking for a sexual partner but if the relationship developes to that level, well we are all adults here. I don't have any need for drama or playing games...

I am looking to meet a gal who is level headed with a positive outlook on life. She should be able to talk about anything from her innermost feelings to current politics. Must be able to answer "yes" to the following questions... Are you happy with your life? Has life's experiences molded you into a better, stronger and more understanding person? Do you feel like you can survive and be happy without having a partner in your life?

If you are tired of the BS from the liars, cheaters and dead beats that you have been dating, inquire with in... Don't worry, I will only bite if you want me too ;)

Coffee, dinner, drinks... A place where you do not have to compete with background noise just to carry on a conversation. It really does not matter what you are doing as long as we are both having a good time...
