First I must say... there are a lot of women clicking on to read my profile... but, no one writes, so I suspect you are just courious... because of what my headline reads. You just want to see if you know me or if we've crossed paths in Walmart or Lowe's... well maybe so. However... that's just wrong, so if my headlind got your attention and what I said in the profile got your interest then write. I figure there are many women in the "same boat" as I... they just won't admite it... So, if you are just courious... click off or go find someone who is into motorcycles, NASCAR, TV sports or their Saturday night 6-pack... this is not me.

We may not be a match... and I will just not settle, however, if you write and there is some chemistry I will write back with contact info. and we'll go from there. If not... don't take it personal, but I will say... thanks for writing. With this in mind continue.

I am an artist (Murray State, BS 1970) however, it's not my source of income. Same job for 17 years... retiring late 2011. You can be creative in your own way... you don't have to be an artist or writer... your creative interest could be in music, yard work, cooking good healthly food, exercise or whatever. However, I am not into sports or NASCAR or hunting... fishing is okay, but I always throw them back.

This part is VERY IMPORTANT: I am looking for a woman who will accept my non-religious(atheist) beliefs and someone who either has or has an understanding of herpes. Remember some men won't tell you this upfront or until it's too late... so appreciate my honesty. If either of these are a problem after reading this far or if you seriously believe you can't deal with one or the other or both then stop reading... really... stop reading... as nothing will change.

Okay... I may be an atheist, but that doesn't make me a bad person just because we just have different religious beliefs. I have strong values and even stronger principles. Probably more so than many of the "so called" Christians I know or those you know. You will learn to know these... should we meet.

I would perfer that you are around 50-60, a little over or under is okay... you decide. You are slender to average in height and weight and under 5-9. However, you decide on the height based on my profile and what you are looking for.

I also perfer no kids at home and would rather you not have house pets. I am allergic to most cats and also some perfumes. However, a very small amount of some musk oil might be okay.

There is a lot more I can tell you so write and lets talk. There is probably nothing I will not discuss or talk about... anything... just ask.

The first photo is early 2007 and the second (blue shirt) is late 2004, however, not much has changed in 2009. I hope you will send yours when you write. I suppose I am somewhat selective, but I expect you to be as well. Never be willing to just settle? I am not shallow in that looks is all I am looking for... but it is important. However, our attraction (chemistry) and our communication and interest levels are important. But, you decide... based on this ad, my photo and what you are looking for... where you fit in. Then I hope you will write. If you've read this far you are either interested or just courious... either way you never know where your writing will take us, so consider the possibilities.

I have no expectations, but if we were to get serious it will be up to you to relocate, although I will make the first trip to meet. This is something for you to consider before you write.

A 3-4 hour drive is about my current limit... but if you feel a serious connection and live far away, then write, you never know what might bring us together. So, again consider the possibilities.

It doesn't matter where we go on the first date. I know I am suppose to pick some special spot, as it will be our first date and it should be remembered. However, if we don't make it to a second date... it won't really matter? So, where ever we go on the first date will be special... as I will always remember it. Life is to short to be spent alone.
