Outgoing, voluble, and gregarious personality. Extremely honest and loyal. Very direct and straightforward. Dependable. Intuitive, good judge of people. I am very "black and white", with a strong sense of right and wrong. Judgemental, but open-minded. I am a "trouble maker" and like a little controversy. I can take it, as well as dish it out. Very independent. I do not want or expect someone to DO for me...just SHARE with me...or do for each other. I believe in doing a job well, playing to win, etc. I love competition, in sports, work, and debates (fun) only. I know how to turn it off. I do not feel threatened by strong, intelligent, independent women...on the other hand, these are the types I am attracted to. I am secure in who I am. I understand my strengths and weaknesses, and I am aware of my limitations. I enjoy laughing and being playful. Use my sense of humor often. I am very passionate person, in ALL things. Expressive. I am spontaneous, not a planner. I am more disorganized, than organized. My house is not dirty (of course,"dirty" is relative :) ), but everything is definitely not in it's proper place (if it even has one). Very considerate and compassionate. Always treating people with respect and courtesy. Extremely friendly. Always smiling and saying "hello" to people I meet. I stand whenever a woman comes into a room, or approaches or gets up from the table. Love the outdoors and travel. Believe in the importance of good communication. Enjoy doing and learning new things...experiencing life. I have an athletic build. Have hair on chest and head, NOT back. Trail hiking, canoeing, scuba, softball, tennis & horseback riding are other activities I enjoy. I am a HUGE animal lover. I am the proud owner of three cats who are permanent members of the family. I believe in giving to those less fortunate, and I donate my time to charities periodically. I was a Big Brother to a young boy in the Buddies of Nashville program for 3 1/2 years, doing activities every week with him during this time and trying to serve as a positive role model. I am interested in intelligent and independent women. Trustworthiness and loyalty are list toppers. Someone with a good sense of humor. Someone who can be playful, as well as serious. I find women who can handle themselves in a variety of situations very attractive. Someone who treats everyone with respect and courtesy. Someone with deep beliefs and who is passionate about them, but open minded enough to listen to divergent views. Emotionally stable. Someone responsible and who possesses sound judgement. Christian preferred. I have not attended church regularly lately, but have been thinking about finding a church to belong to and attend. She needs to be an animal lover. I would like a woman who continually seeks to improve theirself and/or increase their knowledge. Someone who leads an active lifestyle, otherwise we would have very little in common. I like to socialize outside the home, so I prefer a woman who enjoys going to parties, dinner, plays, concerts, dancing, playing pool, etc. I also enjoy quiet, intimate times at home, but do not want to feel as if I have to drag my girlfriend out of the house with her kicking and screaming and clawing at the carpet all the while. I enjoy the outdoors, so I prefer someone who likes to hike, take long walks in the park, or generally do any outdoor activity. Would prefer a woman who enjoyed sports and competition. Romantic & affectionate (ie. likes to kiss and hug). Enjoys and not afraid to express their affection. I do not believe in overly affectionate displays in public, as some things are meant to be private. I believe it takes time to get to know someone, so I prefer a woman willing to take the time to get to know me. I believe good communication is necessary to any healthy relationship. I possess these skills, and I want to date someone who is also committed to good communication. Passion is GOOD, senuality even rarer and highly desirable, & GOOD KISSERS GET BONUS POINTS!

Don't worry, I do not think you will be disappointed. If you have preference, I can work with that too. The important thing is that we have enough privacy to have some time alone to get to know each other, without so much privacy that you do not feel safe and comfortable with being there with someone you do not know yet.
