Thanks for stopping by! I’ll cut right to the chase...I’m looking for a woman who’s intelligent, capable, head strong and open to trying new things. I have a preference for women of substance...one that wants a man capable of good conversation, a fair amount of depth and expanding your horizons. I prefer a woman who has a palette for beer & wine, crafts/arts, music, travel/road trips, social events and outdoor stuff, like camping. I’m interested in a connection on many planes...but what that means is very open to definition.

I'm ultimately looking for a LTR with an option for more, but that obviously has to start somewhere and is dependent on WAY too many factors that neither you or I should have to think about right now. In the end, a solid foundation of friendship is the only thing that will make the above last...so that's my number one goal.

About me...I’m 30, 5’10, 180lbs, decent looking, and for the most part, have my stuff together. I’ve never been married, don’t have children, have a vehicle, am well employed, and am financially (and mentally) stable. I have a lot of interests, almost too many to go into...but suffice it to say, I have a good blend of crafts/arts, technological and philosophic interests. I find myself drawn to interesting things.

I’m socially adept and can blend into almost any situation...my persuasion is serious, yet I know how to kick back and make people laugh. I know when to speak and when to shut up...and I'm neither a gossip or a rat. I believe that trust and respect are earned, not expected. I'm both a leader and a follower, but find the former my more natural role. If minds were an object, mine would be a steel trap...I'm pretty intuitive and grasp things pretty quickly. I am far from the definition of mainstream...but in a perfectly normal, unconventional sense. I'm not the kind of guy that sits around and watches TV...in fact, I don't do that at all, except to watch a movie or documentary. I keep busy & take on a lot of responsibility...but I make time for the right people. Doing what I say (honor) and saying what I do (honesty) are important things to me. I don’t like secrets, but I also don’t reveal myself in one sitting.

Music is very important to me. I shed my bias of favorite bands and genres long ago and consequently, my taste is rather diverse. I did desire to keep a certain level of taste and admittedly, spent more time in some genres than others...but, thankfully, it's not like music is over for me at this moment. I like it hard, soft, sensual, stimulating...from popular to obscure, new to old...there is hardly anything better than discovering a new great song. Music is my diffuser, my inner-peace, my lifelong companion...it's what keeps me sane in an insane world.

What do I offer? A strong, faithful relationship - for the right woman. A man who can take care of things, someone you can trust with anything and someone who will help you achieve your life’s goals. I'm interested in building a solid relationship, rooted deeply in friendship, understanding and forgiveness, that will withstand gale force winds and all of life's tribulations that might come our way.

Since I can easily define what I don’t want, here are the deal breakers for me. If you can’t drive, are living with your parents, have three or more children, have been married twice or more, have baggage (e.g. x's that might try to kill me - good luck!), are a drama queen, or are insanely needy & will text message me thirty times a day...then I'm probably not your guy.

I have a few crutches...I smoke, but I hate it and won’t do it for the rest of my days. I drink moderately (maybe 1-2 times a week) because I enjoy the pursuit of the perfect beer...and I probably will do that the rest of my days. I also have a way of being insistent when something matters to me...but I've also learned the fine art of compromise. I'm sure there's more character flaws that I could point out...but I'm trying to get you to be interested in me here!!!

Anyway, I could go on all day...I think a personal ad should be somewhat revealing and designed not to waste any time. Nonetheless, I'll spare myself the "longest personal ad" award and let you get on with whether you're going to contact me or not. Hope to talk to you soon!

Something that would be comfortable, sustain mutual interest and allow us to get to know one another to see if there is a connection. I could think of a lot of things like that...just depends on what's going on and what you're comfortable with.
