I've decided to change my profile from dating to relationship. I'm of the mindset now that I'm looking forward to waking up each morning with one special person that I feel completely comfortable with and can look forward to many mornings to come.

As for me: I’m 6’1” and 230 lbs. I’m a fairly typical alpha male – strong-minded, slightly stubborn, good at lifting heavy things, and fiercely protective/loyal of those I care about. Women raised me, so unlike the typical alpha male, I also recognize that I have emotions, able to communicate my feelings, can admit I’m wrong, and extremely easy going in my demeanor.

My sense of humour is across the spectrum, but mostly off center. I am not high maintenance, but I do dress up well when the occasion warrants it. I am a regular participant in a variety of sports (hockey, skiing, snowboard, hiking, base/softball, etc) - you don't have to play, but it would be nice to share some physical interests as well.

If you are reasonably tall, in above average physical shape/health, have opinions (and not afraid to voice them), and you don’t require heavy doses of medication to get through the day – let’s talk! I don't want to come across as shallow, but I do require a photo before I will respond - physical attatraction is important after all!

Oh........I'm not a huge fan of endless emails of IM - I want to see how we interact in person, so please pass me by if you are not serious about properly introducing ourselves.

1st date/meeting should be kept casual. Until both parties have a chance to find out, in person, if they'd like to spend additional time with each other, a long date can turn out to be painful!
