Hi there, I moved up to Roanoke, VA for a job move with FedEx I absolutely positively felt I had to move and spent about 5 years there and I don't work for FedEx anymore so moved back to the Atlanta area to be closer to my daughter.

I spend too much time vegetating, watching TV or this, messing with my pc. I still need to know more folks to do things and go places with. Let me know what you're looking for as I can be good company and am very flexible. Not necessarily looking to find my soul mate here but hoping to find her somewhere, sometime, eventually though. Looking initially for social contacts. I'm open for just about anything to start with. Let me know what's on your mind and as they say, whatever happens happens. Chat buddies, meet and greet, friendly outings, dinner partners, friends - friends with benefits, workout buddies, hiking/walking partners, potential serious relationships, it's all good. I'm a homebody and like simple things but like to get out more. I can be entertaining, witty, funny, intelligent, compassionate and I almost forgot to mention modest. Drop me a line if nothing else just to say HI!

I'm looking for a reasonably attractive, height-weight proportionate women who enjoys conversation and activities. Having a fun personality with enough seriousness that a mature well adjusted person should have. Must be able to function independently and be reasonably low to medium maintenance but will make exceptions for a drop dead gorgeous high maintenance women. I am a guy and being mildly superficial I would like to see who I am talking to if you don't have a picture you really need to get one they're so easy to get. I don't exclude profiles without pictures but definitely pay less attention to them.

There's a growing trend I see not to post a picture for various reasons, most say safety, which I think is ridiculous. I don't like people who hides who does. I would be very hesitant to talk to someone with a bag on their head or to Wilson wannabe's. I could write a response to every reason you have but won't bore the masses. Those interested can always ask; however, be careful what you ask for - YOU MIGHT GET IT.

I don't know what to think when you pop in and view my profile and don't say anything. Did you not like what you saw? Is it the modern equivalent of the old dropped handkerchief?

If you read everything so far, you've read enough you can stop here. I put the important stuff first. The following is just fluff.
Continue reading at your own peril, you have been warned!

My profile is a work in progress - In process of updating. Really, working on it, soon, anytime now. It'll be done before you know it. Check back. I will do a complete update soon! No really, I mean it, seriously, believe you me, I'm not kidding, any time now, you'll see, one day soon, perhaps. Is it nap time yet? Talking about doing stuff makes me tired.

This is myUpdate Section:

I saw 50 first dates on TV again it was a very good movie. I'm hard pressed to name my favorite movie but I was very fond of Lonesome Dove. "Very fond of" something Gus would say.

I started watching Tough Love on VH1 and am glad there are a few gals starting to realize THEY have problems and it's not always the guys fault. There seems to be quite a few girls on here that could benefit from some tough love esp ones I see on the forums.

I got banned off of forums AGAIN a while back but I say good riddance, too many Commie Canuk's and way too many Femi-nazi's who call themselves "independent" women. Biggest bunch of man haters I've seen collected in one spot, patting each other on the back for their warped man hating ways while wallowing in their own misery but willing to share.

Soapbox Section:

Still kicking myself for missing the Fallout Boy concert.
'... I can promise you that by the time we get through the world would never ever be the same and you're to blame" LIVE, missed it.

I will say it again, if you missed the Blue Man Group, a Vegas quality act, you missed a lot. I tried to get Black Eyed Peas tickets at Chastain when they had Fergie and toured with **** Cat Dolls sold out in a few hours.

Dorothy was right when she got back and realized what was in her own backyard and what life was really all about. "If I only had a brain"

#$%@!, I see they censored the name of the group, (slang term for cat) Pu$$y Cat Dolls. It's their name, I wasnt trying to use the slang term for a vagina. I wonder if my name was Richard and I like to use the shorter nickname would they bleep me. What if I had a male pet Chicken and didn't call him a rooster but a ****. Wow they did it, they cut out my c0ck.

In my old age I like some and tolerate the rest of country music. It's a step up, I used to hate it. I'm in a bluegrass phase and like picking and a grinin'. No, I didn't even think about going to see Brad Paisley but if I knew a pretty girl that wanted to go. Part of the fun of being with a woman is doing things you don't like doing but do it for her.

fixitfred’s guide to understanding men and relationships.
If you don’t understand or agree that men and women think differently and men are more visual you don’t understand men. Men are very simple it’s women that are very complicated. Understand and satisfy our needs and we will do anything for you. Lay down in a mud puddle so you can drive over us and not get your tires dirty; Take a bullet for you; listen to your boring stories and pretend it’s interesting, ANYTHING. Men are often compared to dogs and it’s a fair comparison. Satisfy a dog’s needs and they will also do anything for you. You can control dogs like women can control men. Women have all the power. To the unbelievers let me give you a simple but powerful example. If a man is upset a woman can change his mood every single time. That’s having the power to control. If a woman is mad and wants to stay that way. That’s right; there is absolutely nothing that can change that. NOTHING.

If you read this far you really have too much time on your hands, get a hobby. If nothing here made you giggle or crack a smile you may have no sense of humor or I'm not nearly as entertaining as I think I am. If you were offended by any of this you have lived a sheltered life and maybe shouldn't be here. Either way we would probably not get along or enjoy each others company.

I just about maxed out the text how's that for verbosity!
I did warn you and told you to stop, don't blame me if you were dumb enough to read it

If you're with the right person, it doesn't really matter what you do or where you go, you're going to enjoy yourself. So instead of focusing on what I would like to do I would like to concentrate on who I do it with.

I would just like to briefly meet and greet initially. I don't want to plan anything too elaborate. I would hate to get stuck in a situation or put someone on the spot where we are uncomfortable because one or the other discovers they don't want to be there or even worse it's mutual and we're locked in pre-planned series of events that needs to run it's course before we put an end to the misery in a tactful manner.

I'm not pessimistic but a realist who has enough life experience to know to try to avoid certain situations that may turn bad if possible. There's always time for a second, third, fourth, fifth or sixth date, etc. I'm too old not to at least try to do some pre-screening to see if we are compatible. Hopefully we would have talked quite a bit already before meeting to see if we could get along or have anything in common. I didn't want to use terms like "fit", "click", "chemistry" or "attraction" but it needs to be there to some extent in both parties or at least the possibility of it developing.

Like many sometimes I am quick to judge but there's a danger of a bad first impression or snap judgment or not allowing enough time to explore or discover what the other person is really like and possibly missing out. I don't want to get overly philosophical but think about events in your life that with a minor tweak or change of circumstance would be totally different. Relationships, jobs, acquaintances and more all different in the blink of an eye if only this happened instead of that the stuff movies are made of.

Life really is marvelous and full of surprises if you're not surprised by where you are compared to what you envisioned the future would look like 5, 10 or more years ago. Maybe you've led a truly mundane and boring life even if your life is right on plan.
