I`m new to this area & thought I`d try this, I don`t know if this is the way to go but I`ll try.
Pure and simple I spent the last 5 yr with the wrong person in the terrible land of Chicago,,, lessons learned. :)
This is a little hard but, I`ve been told that if my name is said to people who know me they smile, that was really nice to hear.
I`m affectionate, loving, strong with a willingness to bend at the right time, able to try to see the other side, said to be a stand up kind of guy.
I`ve heard how some guys are on here,,,,,I don`t need a hook up, quality will always win over quantity so I don`t go looking at bars or parties.
I`m not here to collect names or for a hook up, I hope that there is someone here that feels that way too! I don`t need an internet bar lol
Would like to find someone that is done with the bars. I`m looking for a home life not a night life.
As for me,,I`m like giving a good message, candles, music,, it`s a good workout.
I`m passionate about people I care for and my work.
I`m a loving person and need only one to make me happy.
Communication is a must.
I`m not "too much of a man" to have emotions and would love to have someone to share lifes goods and bads with. If someone thinks this makes me less of a man, well, have your thoughts, but I know what it is to be a man and it`s much more than what we are fed on TV.
I raised my children on my own when fathers just didn`t do that.
I`ve always been around and a part of nature and realize we need hunters as much as we need Green Peace to keep a balance,, it`s just tolerance for some something different than yourself.
I`m artistic, use to paint in oils but now can bring it out in my landscape work building waterfalls. The painting will be back when I`m older :) .
I want happiness in my life,, I have it and will keep it,, but life will throw some bumps now and then.
I`m very laid back but but seem to do some things that are high intensity.
I have no problem with giving a strong message & being close, holding hands, laughing & just enjoying each others company whether doing something or nothing at all.
I`m in shape & lean and would like the same from my mate.
Someone that understands the importance of communication with each other & that life comes from all the little moments in life.
What I`m looking for is someone who can enjoy the outdoors with me, be that in the western mountains or in the yard & can be just as happy setting beside each other watching TV or giving each other a message. Someone that isn`t so self centered that you think your never wrong & are big enuff of be able to say & mean, sorry.
Someone that is able & willing to work thru bad times and has tolerance for differences or people who don`t see things as you do.
Someone that can enjoy simplisity, if you live for the week-end your missing so much.
If a 7 day vacation means more than the 358 other days of the year, well, I wish you well with someone else.
The honeymoon ends when people stop trying, why not keep it? A great love life comes from having a great HOME life, why loose that?
I stay fit & am lucky enough to have genes that keep me that way with a little effort.
Would be great to have someone to run with cycle with hike the mnts with to keep the landscape looking good,,, or to just set & grin at each other because of how happy & lucky we are.
I`ve found out that I`ve played around with my age to long, saying 95-25, now it won`t change, I`m 55 on paper regardless of how I act or the things I do.

Something that is comfortable for both, but I`d rather have a cozy get to know each other kind of place.
A bike ride or walk is nice too.
