The heading indicates "About Me," I'd much prefer to hear "About You." OK, we'll follow their directions at this time. I'm 6'1' 215, extremely clean, in good condition with my real salt and pepper hair and my real teeth, let me add, a sense of humor as well.

I'm an open, honest, to the point, passionate, fulfilling, romantic, respectful, enjoy pleasing, kind and compassionate guy. I'm a non drinker never have acquired the taste for it, if you do in moderation that's fine. I am a respectful smoker. I've been in the investigative profession for 28 years. I'm also involved in business consulting for small business start-ups and corporations. For fun on occasions I do DJing.

I don't ride motor cycles, I don't have tattoos' or piercing, never have I used illegal drugs, never have I been arrested. I actually carry auto and home owners' insurance, I know, I'm the exception. I just had to mention that...LOL.

I'm a liberal Democrat that enjoys a good debate with moderate or conservative Republicans. It's always fun, they aren't going to change my mind and I know I won't change theirs.

I'm a single proud parent of two boys both well out of the nest, through collage, both home owners and gainfully employed. I've been happily divorced for 24 years.

Enjoyments and passions include, traveling, RV camping, flying, boating, auto racing including, Indy cars, driving and ownerships of sprint cars, midgets and even stock cars. I'm more of an open wheel kind of guy then NASCAR. Water skiing, fishing per trips to Wisconsin, Minnesota as well as Canada, even short trips to the Mississippi.

Casino action also is a favorite including the occasional slots and a true passion for pari-mutuel betting the Greyhounds. Culturally I enjoy live theatre productions as well as the symphony, comedy clubs, and much more. I love animals, from dogs and cats to horses and cows. Being a "city boy" my exposure to farm animals have been minimal. However, I would enjoy learning more about them.

In the food category, you can't beat a good steak, pizza, pasta or BBQ with an iced tea even in the winter. If I can't identify it or it's green, I won't eat it.

Music, I enjoy all with the exception of twangy country. TV....I seldom watch. I do catch the news as in CNN and yes, I even listen to talk radio and read the Wall Street. Movies, if it's not a documentary, I probably haven't viewed it. My profession is so much like a movie. Therefore, the "action" and "drama" of a movie are sometime ho-hum.

Speaking of drama, my personal life is drama free. I simply don't allow drama to enter into it, never have, never will.

I enjoy communications as well as listening, obtaining as well as sharing thoughts and ideas, carefully listening to others is often a true education. I'm always open to suggestions, new ideas as well as new adventures.

Now, what do I have absolutely no interest in doing? Hanging out in bars, drinking, playing pool or darts, and Square Dancing. To sit on my butt and watch TV sports? I'll pass! I'm more into viewing in-person or being a participant. My enjoyments far out weigh my dislikes.

All in all, I'm a down to earth respectful individual that simply enjoys the hell out of life, living life daily too the fullest.

What am I seeking? A down to earth, nice looking, intellectual, secure woman who is comfortable with who she is, where she's been and where she's going. A goal orientated successful woman that is out going, not at all "stuffy," very compassionate, fun to be with, that shares some of my enjoyments as well as some of my philosophies of life.

First let me say that if you're merely seeking an e-mail "pal" then I'm not the guy for you!

Looking for a "long term" relationship....who isn't? No matter what that relationship entails or to what depth. To promise a woman rose gardens, a white picket fence and a walk down the isle on the first or twenty-first "date" won't happen here.

I'm honest, very open in saying what I mean not what I feel that an individual may desire to hear.

Treating a woman or anyone for that matter with total kindness, respect and compassion will in fact happen here! I'll meet with most anyone once for an iced tea as I'm a true "people person."

Will I meet with you if you've categorized yourself as seeking "Other relationships, Long-term, short term, intimate encounters or activity partner?" Of course I would, why would I not?

If you're 35ish-60ish, possess a moderate to a high libido with passion and a total zest for life, you're clean, kempt and in addition, you're fun to talk with then you and I are certainly on the same page.

To rendezvous for a casual iced tea or your drink of choice, conversing over topics of mutual interest, that is a great way to meet and check each other out. Let's get to know each other in person, it's much more fun then typing back and forth.

"Nothing ventured nothing gained" If we meet and we click....cool. I think that is called Chemistry? In the event we meet and don't click, no problem, no hurt feelings. We both know or should know and understand we aren't going to click with everyone we meet.

If you're a woman that craves passion, cuddling, intmate romance and fulfillment, I as a man ditto those desires.

Like yourself, I have no time or desire to play games or adhere to anyone's agenda. Total open and honest communications is vital in any situation.

Why spend more time then what it takes to do coffee or an iced tea with someone that upon meeting doesn't fit 95% of what you're seeking? Without actually meeting in-person how would you know unless of course your a psychic....:)

To actually discover a life long monogamous best friend and fulfilling lover takes meeting and kissing many non qualifiers.
I know it's a true challenge, one that will be well worth the efforts.
