Hello I am Gary.Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.It's kinda like a resume' isn't it ?I seek long term friendship and companionship but only with the right lady. I am patient . The one for me is out there somewhere .I am 52, 5'10" tall , 230 lbs. ,brown hair and eyes , single and white . I have 25 years with the federal government . I like to ride my HD electraglide motorcycle (rode to Niagra Falls 07-'07) , eat out , take weekend getaways.I like to go to events,concerts,drag racing or just go for a long ride. I have lived in germany,japan,Ky.,Texas , Detroit , and now Albany,Ga. for 11 years .Originally from Ky. I guess sometimes I can be intense, but mostly just laid back. I am overweight at 5'10",230 lbs. ,I am working on it.I smoke too much .I can be a neat freak at times.I like to be organized. I am habitually early.I enjoy companionship however I appreciate my ME time as well. I have been a leader in many situations and everyone says I am a natural, but I think I am a better follower.I love to have the wind in my face on a brisk morning with the sounds of my bros pipes sounding off.I really like a pretty lady sitting behind me. But, hey if you have your own bike we could ride side by side.Sometimes I wonder if it is all worth it and other times I know it is.I like long relaxing hot baths , quiet dinners(maybe I will cook)Don't really like the bar scene(maybe now and then ) , massages(been told I do it well). I like to take my time and enjoy the moment .I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but I am not the dullest either. I do not lie for any reason ,so be prepared for the truth or don't ask. I am an optimist,I always find the good in all situations.I am happy to have lived as long as I have but sometimes I miss my youth.I sure am not the most handsome man around but you won't run screaming either, at least I hope.I work a lot of hours so it is early to bed and early to rise for me. Sometimes that is a bad thing because even on my day off I am wide awake by 5 or 6 and that stinks(wish I could sleep in like I did when I was 20).I am a gentle man and would not hurt anyone. I always mind my manners and try not to say anything that would offend someone.I won't say that I will never fall in love again because you never know,it will take a very special and determined lady however. Right now I just want to work on my retirement(6 years left)and on my free time enjoy the company of a nice pretty lady. I am really not into huge ladies but don't mind a little extra.Attitude is everything to me . I like fun uplifting ladies that aren't always complaining about everything.I like to make a lady feel speacial,not only to me but to herself and everyone else. If you don't love yourself then I think no one else will.Some folks think that they can find someone to make them happy but really it is up to each of us to find our own happiness. I am happy just to make it through the night (someone didn't,poor soul).I have ridden motorcycles since 1974, but I don't have any tattoos or piercings. There is so much more to me and everyone else than what you can write in this space or have the time for, that takes time to really know someone. I am not perfect, but who is really ?If you want to know more you may have to write me. I am very picky as you should be also. Please take care of you because this ain't no dress rehearsal.It is hard to sit in front of this pooter and tell someone about yourself. Maybe if you have any questions would help . I am just an ordinary guy , I am not here to steal info so I can rob you or anything. I am always a gentleman after all really one of the only things that I will take to my grave is what people remember about me. I would not hurt anyone. I am sure if you met me you would like me. I work a lot and don't frequent the bars so it is hard to meet folks , so I am on this site.I have two daughters back in Ky. and they are 31 and 29 (both are good girls luckily).I have a few gray hairs starting to pop up on my head , but at least I have a full head of hair. I haven't really been having any luck off that site.Some seem to be on there just to be on there, some just want to talk,andtalk,and talk and never intend on meeting anyone,just playing games. Sometimes I have written someone many times and I know they have been at the site recently but won't write back.I hate that, I would rather they simply say not interested or kiss my butt or something.Some are not who they claim to be either.And the ladies I like and think there might be something with live so far away that it would be impossible to have a relationship with.I am a larger man and trying to lose some weight ,but I told exactly to the pound how much I weigh(230, 5"10"),But a lot of these folks won't send a dag gone pic.and will deceive you into thinking they are different than they really are. I don't beleive that is right. I DON'T think you are one of those women !!! I immediatley assume everyone is good and honest but many have shown that they are not.And you don't always know immediatly,but as time goes by the true colors will show. Maybe we could have dinner some weekend with absolutely no expectations. Take care of yourself .Gary

dinner or something we both agree on and if everything goes well hopefully and second date.If there should be instant sparks then so be it.I would want to be myself and hopefully she would to. I would hope we would both want to be as comfortable as possible(It can be awkward for a first meet).
