I'm a retired Federal employee. I worked mainly as a nurse. I also worked about 7 years for The Salvation Army as a volunteer.I consider myself to be very easy-going and gentle. Working exclusively with women, gave me a HEALTHY respect for women in general! I witnessed some truly selfless and beautiful women! I have plenty of time now to devote myself to someone who is serious- minded . I truly do love the simple things in life and I'm not materialistic in the least. Most of my interests aren't what most people consider typical of a guy. I don't drink, I hate bars,partying and I have little interest in sports (although fishing and camping are fun!). I do however, love music. Don't worry,I'm not a nerd or some sissy guy. I assure you that I'm all male and can handle myself quite well if the need arises. I just know that that's not what life is about. I have an apartment filled with guitars and I love to serenade and slow-dance. I love reading, the arts,anything to do with nature and animals. A nice tear jerker movie is always good too;especially when you have popcorn and can snuggle.I have a NON-STOP! sense of humor and I love to joke and have fun constantly.
