How many of us really don't know what to say here? I like to consider myself romantic but responsible. To me the most important part of any relationship is being able to enjoy each other completely.

When you meet me, you will meet the real deal. I'm honest, caring, passionate, and on occasion, a little goofy. Life experience has made me guarded, but who isn't after a few bad relationships. Nobody likes to be hurt.

Now that the cold weather seems to be upon us, it's time to start looking for someone to stay warm with during the frigid Iowa winter. During this time of year I like to hibernate with a good book or rent some movies. Occaisionally I'll venture out for some outdoor activities but as a rule I hate cold weather.

My friends would say I'm like a rock. Solid, dependable, strong work ethic, and caring. I like to be involved in community projects, and as a member of the American Legion, I am committed to many patriotic ceremonies throughout the year. THANK A SERVICE PERSON FOR YOUR FREEDOM!

There is no perfect woman for me. I feel personality is the most attractive aspect of anyone. Body features change with time, gravity takes over, and some times health problems can rob someone of their physical attractiveness. A strong spirit, however, will remain the same no matter what the body looks like. Longer hair is attractive, tattoos are seductive, and piercings are intriguing.

A drink or two is cool with me, but falling down drunk every night or weekend may be a problem. I smoke so I don't mind if you do. I do have issues with drug users. If you can't face life without that kind of escape maybe you should look into treatment. (Stepping off my soapbox)

I am a big man! I always have been and always will be. I am comfortable in my skin and prefer women who are as well. People who obsess over looks are shallow and leave themselves open for disappointment. While I agree with most people on this site, there does have to be an attraction, but there is more to a connection that a six pack and a perfect tan.

If I haven't bored you away by now there must be some interest there. Drop my a line, if I like the bait, I'll bite.

Coffee and pie at Village Inn if it's cold out or a picnic in a park if it's warm. I love the outdoors so maybe a walk along the river or around a park would be nice. Maybe a ride through the country to see how we'd compliment each other on the road.
