Date someone special from United States. I have been on and off this site a few times and it looks to me as though that is the case with many of us. Match is definitely interesting and I wonder sometimes if, like me, you have learned as much about yourselves as you have about others?
What I?ve learned about me: I?m a ?good guy? and not a ?bad boy?. It was a close vote. There could be a recount someday but at this point in time I think the good guy wins. I like?.everything! Everything I?ve ever done I've enjoyed and more often than not it?s because of who I was with at the time. For the last dozen years that?s been my kids more often than not. But the last one just got his degree and someone actually hired him!!! I?m not that surprised, really...okay maybe just a little). The most valuable things I've learned is who I am and what Iwant.
What I?ve learned about?you?: You?re probably a pretty ?good girl? or at least that side is pretty evident. You are likely a parent or you at least get all that goes with that. You, of course can go from jeans and flip-flops to a little black dress in seconds?? You?re not terribly damaged by your past and looking forward. You know what you want.
What I?ve learned about us: It seems as though there are all sorts of things to do in this world. Who you are doing those things with is all that matters. I'm ready! Are you?
Please...no winks.

Meet a man from United States. I am a man of passion and compassion, who is the epitome of "what you see is what you get." I do not either pretend, or am pretentious. I can be your cuddly Teddy Bear when love is in the air and I will always be your protector. You will never feel insecure in my presence and you will never doubt my commitment to your security. I have a strong passion for health and fitness and devote a significant portion of my life in that pursuit. I have no boundaries when it comes to friendships and intimacy and am attentive to the sensibilities of those I love and care for. My life to this point has been grounded in Honesty, Loyalty, Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity and that will not change.
Over the past year since beginning my journey here on Match, it has become apparent to me that I need to make one thing clear: I am not "laid back." I am intense and passionate about life and those things of importance to me. If you are looking for a "Golly," "Gee Wiz," "Hail fellow well met" kind of guy, I am not your man. If, on the other hand, you are seeking a man who is the ultimate "protector," full of love to give, whose energy is palpable and who is a whole lot of fun to be with, reasonably intelligent and fairly well read, then perhaps we could be a match.
I am seeking a woman, regardless of age, who embraces a mind-set and lifestyle that is reflective of her verve for life; a woman who is self-assured, confident, intelligent (knows the difference between compliment and complement and; your and you're for starters), kind, compassionate, sexually uninhibited and who cares about and takes pride in her appearance. She is a woman who is still a girl at heart, who is hungry for excitement and eager to push the boundaries of her personality; to go, perhaps, where she has never gone before...but has often fantasized about; to be loved like she has never been loved before and to open her heart and soul to all that love has to offer.
She does not have to embrace my intense passion for exercise and fitness, but she should engage in regular vigorous exercise and embrace a diet that is relatively "clean," which will be reflected in her figure and overall physical appearance. My photos reflect what I look like right now - July 25, 2012. I have worked hard and long to achieve my physique and am not attracted to women who are unconcerned about the physical condition of their man, or who are not HWP. I prefer women who take great pride in their physical appearance and condition and engage in a regular vigorous exercise regime resulting in their bodies reflecting the results of that lifestyle.
If you post photos that are not representative of how you look right now and show up at our first meeting significantly older and decidedly heavier than your photos, I will not continue with the meeting. Over the past year, I have come upon women who I would not even recognize, unless they identified themselves to me. This is unconscionable.
Physical appearance is important to me, as is intellectual acuity and verve for life. Mutual physical attractiveness, while only one aspect of the whole person is nonetheless the initial and primary motivator at the beginning of any romantic relationship and through the development and nurturing of love, is sustained, ideally, forever. The best and most accurate means of determining mutual attractiveness is not with photos, but with personal contact and the sharing of time and space together, where the ever ellusive but requisite "chemistry" can be determined.
While I am initially interested in making friends and meeting interesting people, I am very open to the possibility that I will meet someone with whom I will connect deeply and who will connect deeply with me, leading to a long romantic journey. Life is a journey, not a destination. I seek to enjoy the journey and let the destination be a pleasant surprise

Date someone special from Chandler, United States. PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND WITH A WINK.IF U CAN'T COME UP WITH A FEW SENTANCES,PLEASE PASS MY BY.
Also, IF YOU ARE NOT IN AMERICA,PASS ME BY.
Name’s Paul
I’m not the best looking guy in here, but I’ll bet I’m one of the best.
I’ve been a part of the trucking business for 30 years and it has made for a very stable, good life for me. But, being on the road all the time can leave a romantic guy like myself feeling isolated and longing for that one woman to come home to. I dream of the day that I can look across a table into my woman’s eyes and hang on her every word. But, it’s tough to find that with a job like mine so hopefully within the next year or so I’ll be able to transition into a sales role again and that will allow me the home life I’d like.
I’m a sweet, generous guy with a good sense of humor and am looking forward to finding a lady who is the same. I’ve got two kids and 3 grand kids and I love every minute of being with them, so I would need someone who loved kids as much as I do.
I can’t wait for the day that we both get home from work, make a big home-cooked meal while I help or tinker with one of my muscle cars, then we share food and a lot of laughs, then collapse on the sofa together and watch our favorite shows while we hold hands. It’s a simple life, but a happy one.
I know that a road warrior lifestyle like mine isn’t ideal for everyone, but I’m looking for love and I can promise that our time together will be worth every frustrating moment away.
I run Mesa,AZ to Albq,NM 2-3 times a week,so Im home often.
My plan is to run the wheels off the truck for 3 more years. Save 100 grand and then purchase a self serve storage facility.
I will be doing sales work at the same time.
I used to own my own freight brokerage company and am familer with my business in a larger way then your average trucker.
YES, I'm business smart.
Paul...

Meet a man from Chandler, United States. This is the part where I lie about how great I'am.
If I strike you eye. drop me a line. OK they say this isn't long enough
so I will say don't let the bike scare you off. It's just one of the toys.
And I don't want to go to California.
There.

Date a soulmate from Chandler, United States. I have gone through a lot of changes in the past four years and am just coming out on the other side...maybe. Slow and easy with no plans for anything. I am my own man and don't let others make decisions for me. A quiet dominate, your life is your own, mine is definitely mine.
I have never smoked cigarettes in my life but do have an occasional cigar. I am not trying to quit. Sometimes a single malt scotch will go along with it.
I am a smart enough to know I'm not a genius but close enough to it to know when others are not either.
I try to stay cool and calm even in the face of drama and would really like to be with people who are not insecure. Hopefully they are comfortable in who they are no matter what social economic level they are in.
At our age I hope you have your own thing going on.
I have all my teeth, most of my hair. I won't borrow money from you or pawn your jewelry. I hope you can see I have a sense of humor too.
Recent changes in my life have made me question a lot and am still looking at the big picture and have more questions than answers. It hasn't always been that way.
Please be kind and nurturing but understand I am not looking for a mother figure.
As soon as my profile was up I started getting emails from much younger women from across the United States. Frankly I am not interested in someone 15 or 20 years my junior. I suspect if given a chance they would try to get money of of me, so please read my profile and decide from that if you would be a good match. Also please have a photo otherwise I will not respond to winks, emails or firebombs.
You need to know that I am in the intelligence industry. What this means is I guard my privacy till I get to know someone. I have been on the front pages and sometimes don't make people very happy but my life is filled with adventure that takes me across the country and out sometimes.
I have been to many dozens of countries so have some cultural awareness. I come with challanges, if you are looking for someone to garden with with or join a book club, I am not that guy.
I have been divorced for 27 years. Had a long term relationship for ten years that ended 3 1/2 years ago. I helped raise her son and it made me a human. The young man now lives with me.
If you have questions then ask...

Meet single man from Chandler, United States. If you have tried to find your soul mate through online dating sites and continue to strike out, perhaps you should turn to online video games. New numbers show that playing interactive games, like World of Warcraft, may increase your chances of finding true love.
Online video gaming has become more mainstream, with men and women taking part. And when you look at the statistics and data put together by onlinuniversity.net, the case for falling in love via World of Warcraft (WoW) is pretty compelling.
