I do not play games, I am not looking for a 'hook-up'. Friends to start and more if it works.

I am not really photogenic and hear it all the time. Those pics are from 1 year to 1 month old. I have hair now.

Below is a brief outline of me, if it intrigues you then learn more.

Most mornings your will find me starting my day with the drink of the heavens... coffee.

Nights, you will find me riding the bike to a different spot to grab a bite and see what's going on around here. I am still trying to get to know the area. So if anyone has any good ideas of places for me to go feel free to let me know!

Weekends, riding the bike, grabbing a movie at some point and just having some down/me time. The usual mundane chores of course

Now let's see, more about me? How about some single words: loyal, honest, spontaneous, stubborn, open minded, fair, smart, handsome, nice, generous, and more.

I am a once and a life-time guy. Not into BS or playing games. I’ve had enough of that stuff for a lifetime.

I am looking to treat someone special in the best way I can. If I find the right woman I am loyal to a fault.

One of my best friends has been there for me and I for him for the last 29 years. How many people can say that?

I am a caring and loving guy. Yes, I have my faults, but I do my best to treat others well.

What am I looking for?

Most important to me is a woman I can trust. Someone who will not run out at the first hint of hardship (in whatever form it takes). Honesty is key and open communication.

I think the obvious, someone who is intelligent enough to hold a conversation... ie if your IQ is that of a q-tip, maybe not you. Someone with a sense of humor, even if it has a little sarcasm every now and then, as long as you are smiling I’ll laugh.

I would love to find someone who likes to do whatever and can focus on who they are with more than what is going on. They will let me treat them with the love in my heart and will accept it happily. If you are the right person for me, I won't care what we do so much as I will care about just spending the time with you.

She should be able to let me know how she feels and gives me the chance to listen or try to help.

I pretty much find most women to be physically attractive and can like a woman with little/no make-up or one who wears it. I would think I’m not into allot of it, but who knows. :) Jeans and a button down are just as attractive to me as a skirt and blouse. Though I tend not to be into really dressy, it obviously has it s place. The down to earth woman is great.

A note in regard to turn ons and offs: everything in moderation. If someone has a couple of tastefully placed tattoo(s)/piercing(s) that can be a turn on.

I love to hug and love people who enjoy hugs.

For those of you who actually read all of this, I need to add a rant: It's crazy how many people respond to ads and a couple of e-mails go back and for with no end result. I don't get it. Why be on match? People play enough games off-line that I do not want to be a part of.

I would like to meet someone in the hopes that we connect and possibly have a future together. If you are interested in finding a great guy and perhaps building a relationship, even if it is just as friends, write me and let's get together and figure out if there is chemistry, etc. If you are just on here cruising around 'cause you are bored, move on. I am not looking to have e-mail buddies or whatever.

I dunno what to say really. I guess I am rambling a bit. I think I am better off saying - ask me some questions so I can fill in the blanks in your head!

I am a realively simple guy. A first date is all about getting to know someone. So I say it should take place somewhere you can chat and get to know the other person. You need to listen to who they are. I want to see their eyes as they speak.

With that said, movies are out. Jumping out of a plane also. Any extreme sports where you need to scream to have them hear you doesn't really fit what I am looking for.

Maybe a coffee shop?
