i'm looking for someone who wants to, eventually, have a longterm relationship... if you're not sure what you want, then i'm definitely not the guy for you... i know what i want & i've taken much time to decide (as u can tell by my profile length;-)... i'm not for the "faint at heart" but i do love to laugh & have fun... if your interested in getting to know the "real me", send a message & let's see what's in store for us...

My careers/travels take me to many places across the USA & the world (including but not limited to, Baton Rouge, LA; Indianapolis, IN; Nashville, TN; Baltimore, MD; Huntsville, AL; Houston, TX; Fontana, CA; & many, many others)...

I understand that it takes work to keep romance alive in a relationship.

6'5", 269lbs, (but i've been told i look 10 years younger, but I'll let you decide;-) short brown hair, & "CRYSTAL BLUE EYES".

I'm a hard working, college educated Professional that works in the transportation & government sections (mainly in the Detroit, MI & Huntsville, AL areas). I like world travel, theater, politics, current events, & STIMULATING INTELLIGENT CONVERSATION (aka stimulate my mind & excite my senses ). I like a good (or even bad) joke even if someone else is telling it. I am intelligent, but not lacking in common sense & am a GREAT LISTENER. I am VERY PASSIONATE about life!

I strongly feel that the "EYES are the windows to the SOUL!".

World-wide travel (Russia: Bolshoi Russian Ballet, Ukraine, Germany, France, Italy, Norway, Mexico, Canada, Switzerland, Netherlands, Hawaii, etc.), tour North America, theater (have season tickets), museums, volleyball, home improvements (though I hate to admit that I need a women's advice/touch once in awhile;), gardening, camping, photography, & willing to try just about anything.

Since about 1/3 of our lives is spent sleeping, we better have a very comfortable bed & since about 1/3 of many of our lives is spent working, we better enjoy (and/or benefit greatly from) our jobs (that is if one needs to work;-).
This leaves about 1/3 of our lives for EVERYTHING ELSE.
Therefore, if we're going to share it with someone, we better enjoy the "heck" out of each other & the activities we take part in!!!

BTW: I do wear a size 15 shoe; so what size do you wear? lol..

the person I would like to meet:
COMMUNICATIONS is the key to a successful relationship!!!

I'm seeking a woman, not a girl. Easier said than done. Someone I can share life with... the good and bad. I don't run from responsibility, i'm honest, and fiercely loyal to those close to me.
H O N E S T Y, I know, that can be pretty tough for some women to comprehend, is extremely important to me, & if it is a foreign concept to you, maybe you should move on.

I'm looking for someone that is intelligent, tall, active, sexy, healthy, attractive, passionate, adaptable, to share life's experiences with (partner in life), someone that enjoys doing some of the same things that I like (stimulating intelligent conversation), & someone that is comfortable in many different situations (from bib-overhauls to Black Tie/Heels)...

Someone who is not afraid to show her feeling & is not afraid to share her hopes, goals, dreams, & fantasies...

Did I say attractive, spontaneous, dependable, fun, OPENLY honest, thoughtful, supportive, tall enough, & MONOGOMOUS!!!
