Ok-It's time for "As I See The World". I don't want to sound negative, just real. I think, people come on to these sites, expecting to find "that perfect match." Let's get real here for a minute-No one, is perfect, if we were, we surely won't be on here. I have made mistakes in my life just like the rest and have I also have faults just like the rest of the entire world. If you are REALLY LUCKY, you MIGHT find that one that shoots off stars as soon as your eyes meet, but chances are, it has to build over time. And that, happens only one way. It's just like the old saying, "easy come-easy go." We have all become part of that "throw away" generation. It's an outright shame the way people treat each other. Someone takes the time, and makes the effort, to write an intro email, and MOST people will not even have the common respect to reply, even if only to say "no thank you", so they never know. Anything worth while has to develop over time-you have to work and build on it. I'm not sure if this place is for real or not. I was on here several years back, and I see the SAME faces. I'm not a game player, I'm just wanting to find that one lady. I've been around the block a few times, and I know what I want. I don't need a relationship, I want one, and when I find her, SHE WILL BE IT.
I'm not looking for a long distance relationship-those are not fair-someone always gets hurt. I want us to be "close" so that we may build on the relationship. I'm not saying that you need to live in my back yard, just fairly close. I've made a couple of long bike trips this year, and I missed having "my lady" along. I'm a veteran, so I love my country, God and my family. I have 6 of the BEST grandkids anyone could ever ask for. I'm not perfect, and I don't want to be. I may not be the "best" man around, but my grandkids think I am, so that's good enough for me.

On another note: if you're not ready or willing to put forth a little effort in finding out, please don't waste our time. For me, if I'm interested in someone, I want to know all I can, and this will not happen unless we spend time talking and seeing each other. I don't mean to be glued at the hip, but come on---it's really hard to learn anything about someone if you don't spend time talking with each other.


Update: I truly don't know what to think of these sites. I'm a good, honest, caring and loving man. But I'm treated as if I'm a dog, because some guy you choose to have a interest in, was married. I'm sure that there are some on here, both men and women, that DO NOT tell the truth. You claim that you don't believe that you should have to fix me from my past relationship. Well then, don't punish me for choices you made on the men you choose to date. If you want to be treated fairly, then you treat people fairly. I have not told you anything that was not true, cheated on you, stole from you, caused you any pain-emotional or physical, or harmed you in any way. ALL I ASK, IS THAT I BE JUDGED AS ME, NOT BY WHAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS DONE.


Update: I try to always keep a positive outlook, but this place is starting to feel like a "meat market". Ladies, PLEASE, if you are not in my country, older than my oldest child (37),or trying to run a scam--please DO NOT email me. I AM NOT INTERESTED!!!!!

Now that's a really good question. I could plan something that might knock your sock off, but, I think it might be better to get the ladies input. If I get my way, it would be on my motorcycle, headed down the highway.

As I said earlier, I don't need one, I want one. I believe that one day she will come along, and when she does----
