Meet someone special from Ventura, United States. I put forth a lot of effort into my profile I believe you get out of it what you put into it Thus, get comfy, we might be here a while (lol) Thank you for reading my profile!
It's been an interesting past few years, probably for all of us, right? In my last go-round with online dating, I was dealing with tons of family emergencies, illnesses, and deaths - just not fair to anyone, including me
During that time my last relationship and I tried again - just didn't work out in the end Beautiful lady, warm heart, we just couldn't pull it together in the BIG picture Kenny Rogers said "gotta know when to hold'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, and know when to RUN! I learned a lot from that experience, most of it good (I hope anyway) I am ready to find my next forever girl ASAP
I've never been one to date a lot - always been in relationships However in this online world I understand we must meet (aka date) to see if any spark connection or chemistry exists ALL I ASK IS THIS: Please look like your posted pictures Not 50lbs heavier, 10 years older, etc. If you MUST "reduce your age in your profile for the sake of attracting those to whom you are attracted" PLEASE clean it up in your first correspondence to me I promise you I am who I say I am
About me: I don't smoke/do drugs I do enjoy a drink socially I AM A NICE GUY (I do not believe nice guys finish last!) My Mom raised me to respect women I pride myself on opening doors, giving LOTS of flowers, walking on the correct side of the sidewalk, treating my lady with "old-school" manners and respect
As for athletic, average, etc (body type): To be clear I am definitely athletic as I have played baseball/football and now golf at very high levels I am at the gym 4-6 days/week. However I do not have 6-pack abs or a 32" waist Im a BIG BOY (big chest, big legs, big hands/feet (size 12) you get the idea) Just putting it out there I don't eat junk/fast food I tan every other week (being a golfer, if I didn't you wouldn't like to see me w/o clothes (lol) No really L-O-L! I take "farmer's tan" to a whole 'nother level Trust me it's not pretty I am not ready to give into my gray hair yet so I leave a little in and get rid of the rest I get mani/pedis once per month I have NICE feet (I've seen other guys' feet in the gym (nasty!)
Is this the MOST HONEST profile you've ever read?
OMG I'm out of room! I'll Cliffs Notes the rest:
I will happily provide details about my kids/income after we get to know each other
I'm not a player and am not looking for one Yes, it goes both ways (you know who you are :)
I am NOT possesive, but extremely protective You will always feel safe with me
I'm not the hit-it-and-quit-it guy Intimacy is much more than a physical act to me
Don't be shy! I may be the ONLY man online who answers EVERY email that comes his way
Who I'm looking for: I want someone feminine, soft, has lots of love to give who knows how to ACCEPT being loved (sounds simple, but apparently - not so much) spontaneous, funny (no cliche' here I'll make you laugh and hope you can make me laugh) inspirational (see funny), athletic, energetic, motivated, passionate, happy, family-oriented Is that asking so much?
I am a "cup is half-full" guy NEGATIVE BREEDS NEGATIVE I've had ENOUGH of that! If you believe that a couple MUST fight in order to grow together or REQUIRE drama in your life to feel better about yourself ... see above
Communication is key If you are willing to communicate your needs, wants, desires,feelings, I will make every effort to reciprocate
I believe in PDA (Public Displays of Affection)
I MAKE time daily to do something to enhance my life. Hope you want the same. We could/should inspire each other, right?
Thank you for reading my mini-novel! Probably need a bathroom break by now (lol)
VERY IMPORTANT - If you don't feel I'm the one I sincerely wish you the
