About Me

Well.... Were do I start? I'm single. Never been married. No kids. Don't do recreational drugs & almost never drink. Don't smoke. Go to church (Although I'm still a bit of a sinner once in a while. Ha!). My hobby is bodybuilding which keeps me in shape (I'm not one of those bulky guys who looks like a fire hydrant). I guess I'm not bad looking but I'm not full of myself because I grew up as the skinny, nerdy type and was a late bloomer. I couldn't get by on my looks so I had to develop my character and sense of humor. I was pretty much invisible until I got to college. I spent most of my time working and studying so I would get scholarships (Which I did!). Unfortunately because of this, I never developed the social/relationship skills that most teenagers have. The bad side is that I missed out on lots of stuff (Dates, proms, SEX, etc..). The upside is that I also missed out on lots of the mistakes that most people fall into (Drugs, alcohol, promiscuity, unplanned pregnancy, bad relationships/marriages, etc). Of course now I'm more than up to speed and very capable of playing the head games that most learn in their teens but I'm now wise enough to know not to lower myself to games or using people. Also because I was a nerd when I was younger, I'm able to see past most people's facades and figure out who they are inside. I'm very opinionated and a bit over the top in some of my views but I'm also very honest, loyal, and a good friend. I'm also very family oriented and will do anything for my parents (Still married after 42 years) and siblings. I'm also old fashioned in how I think women should be treated/courted. I'm a nice guy but I'm not THAT nice. I don't care much for random dating but I love going out on dates with the right person (And I believe that we should still plan dates when I'm in a relationship). I like going to movies, amusement parks (I'll never grow out of that!), and even museums & art galleries. I also like staying home with the right person and spending the entire evening hanging out, watching DVDs, drinking (a little), talking, joking, and playing (You know what I mean). Your results:

My Interests

Bodybuilding, comic books (Yes, I know that sounds dorky but I don't really care), KISS, Pro Wrestling (Yes, I know it's entertainment..... but it's fun!). I have a degree in fine art so I used to draw & paint but I've kinda slacked off for the last few years. I also go to church every week. I DON'T LIKE.... Tattoos, body piercings, short hair on women, political correctness, camping, hunting, fishing, outdoor activities, NASCAR, bowling, pool, golf, riding Harleys, drinking beer, etc, etc...

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet someone like myself (Same morals and lifestyle choices). I'd like to find the right woman to share my life with and start a family with but sometimes it seems a bit unrealistic at my age (especially in this area) so I wouldn't be opposed to finding a nice, attractive lady with minimal baggage to spend time with and then see what happens from there.I'm not attracted to overweight or out of shape women (She doesn't have to be a fitness freak. I don't need perfection because I'm far from perfect). Also since I'm still interested in starting a family (Yes, I know I'm running out of time...), I'm not very interested in dating older women (The same age as me is fine if we're on the same wavelength when it comes to taking care of yourself). For the same reason, I'm not really interested in women with kids (well.... okay, maybe one if the child has been brought up right and can accept me into their life..... But no teenagers or older). I've tried this in the past and It gets very old putting her as the number one priority in my life when I'm always stuck way behind kids, ex-husbands, and numerous other things on her list. It's not really fair to be expected to give 100% and get back 25%. I'm not saying this to be mean. There are lots of smart, sexy, and gorgeous women that are older & have kids. I just want the chance to experience all the same "firsts" in life that everyone else has. I've tried very hard to live my life right & stay on the straight & narrow path so I think I deserve to be treated like I have some value and refuse to settle anymore. I don't want someone who's given their best years to someone else and wants to stick me with the leftovers. Again, I'm not trying to offend anyone. I realize that we all made mistakes in the past and can change for the better. I just know myself well enough to finally realize that things will not work if I try to be with someone and we are at distinctly different points in our lives.To be honest, I'm not even sure how to do this right. I've been lied to and hurt very badly in the past and it's made trust very difficult for me. Besides, it always seems like when you look, you don't find. I think it's one of those things that just either happens or it doesn't.

That's It!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the problems I've had in the last few years is that, because of my age, older women (and some around my own age) seem to think that we would be a good match. Somehow they think that because we ...

Older Women

I'm sure that some would read my ranting and think that I don't like older women. That is far from the truth. Many of my best friends at work are older women than me. They come in all shapes & siz...
