Meet a man from California, United States. I am a clean, reasonably healthy, stable, honest and reliable, considerate man. I am not addicted to drug(s), alcohol or tobacco. I still have all my teeth (I don't keep them in a glass at night). ;o]
I prefer to keep a positive attitude about life. Some people dance in the rain while others only get wet. I'm not much of a dancer, but I can splash in the puddles with a smile on my face.
I am younger than my years. I'm affectionate and not afraid to show it anytime or anywhere. While I don't believe in horoscopes, for those who do, I'm a Scorpio.
Things I enjoy: Photography, model railroading, fishing, hiking-exploring, travel, nature in general to name just a few.
I have a great, (some say 'warped) sense of humor and can enjoy a good joke. (Have you ever lain in bed at night and go from giggles to uncontrollable laughter over nothing ... and the more you try to stop, the more you laugh?).
I, like everyone have my own flaws. But when I or anyone else identify one, I do my best to fix it. There's always room to improve oneself. I'm fairly 'flexible' and willing to bend.
I own my home on acreage located in the conifer forested mountains of northern California. A beautiful river runs though the place. The fish are native and difficult to catch, but it's still fun!
What I'm looking for in a companion:
I am looking for a warm, playful, adventurous and loving woman who enjoys being a woman with her man, and enjoys her man being a man with her. I would prefer that she not be neurotic or addicted to drugs, alcohol or tobacco. (My sister-in law says I am setting the bar too high. But I know what I want and feel I must not settle for less if I am to enter into a new relationship). I would not expect you to settle for less than what you are looking for either.
I'm not into 'mind games'. Nor will I present myself to any prospective companion as anything else than what and who I am. What you see is what you get. I would appreciate that you, (if you are interested) present yourself as you truly are. I want to meet the real you as I want you to know the real me.
I don't mean to be a snob, but "Winks" do not impress me and I will not personally respond. I'd like you to touch me with your words. I hope you can understand that. I will answer every e-mail I receive; but my subscription with Match.com will expire 12-06-10. However, I expect Match.com will keep my profile on display. If you write and I do not answer on or after 12-06-10, that is likely the reason why.
If I sound interesting to you, e-mail me and I'll send you more information about me. If you still like what you see, then eventually, lets get together, maybe have a little drink, get to know eachother and see what happens.
