I'm pretty laid back. I used to dare myself to do some pretty wild things (not anymore) but am older and settled down now. I grew up building hotrods, motorcycles, and about anything I wanted. I'm handy to have around but I don't want that to be someone's goal! I'm old fashioned in that I was totally content in being married and having someone to come home to and do things with/for. I was the romantic fool that bought cards for no reason, other than sneaking in a Love You. Sadly, I'm the type of guy that assumes people are generally sincere in what they say, as I am. That is a big fault and cost me a lot of heartache. I don't hunt, I like animals. I don't smoke or care to go to Casino's. I can't swim, never learned! Therefore, I've not been playing around water much, like fishing or boating. Ha! I like the outdoors and enjoy seeing natural falls and, caves and such. I'm new to this state so haven't had much trail experience here. I'm the practical joker type who likes to kid around. I'm an Aquarian, so my sense of humor can be a bit over the head (abstract) from simple funny. I'm creative and like to make things. In the process I like it to have that little twist of something extra. I'm sensitive, I can be pretty y at times, but I generally like to express inner emotions with my partner. I have premature gray hair, I can't help that, but to me it's better than bald!
Things that have bothered me:
Users! Fake sincerity, people who like to use people as steppingstones to get to where they want to go. In relationships, I've seen the type who wanted to "try on" a nice guy, just to see how it feels. I've thought I had sincere love only to find out she had insecurity problems and was sleeping with someone who was playing her like a cheap piano. I've seen a lot but as the song goes: When a Man Loves a Woman, He Can See No Wrong! I was told by friends, and chose to not believe. Duh!
I am looking for:
I really am looking for someone who has her head together and knows what she is wanting to complete her life. Not someone looking to try on a new relationship to see if it fits right or gets her more prosperous. I want someone sweet who has managed to hang onto her values through her own ups and downs. I'm not into bar hopping anymore, I'm very content with a loving, affectionate, relationship. I want to look into someone's eyes and just melt. I want to feel warm when I think of her and, happy when I hear her voice. No Games, no lies, no cheating, no "out with the guys" excuses. I'm not looking for someone who likes to be taken out and entertained all the time. I'm not a party hound and won't connect with someone who needs the crowds. I think if the type I want reads this, she will understand if I'm looking for her or not!
My funniest life experience:
I walked into a bar in California (lived there from 85 to 93) and while on the outside noticed a limo going in I didn't see any special people. The place was rather empty, maybe 8 people. There was a couple older guys ( I was around 30) and a woman sitting a table not far from the jukebox. I didn't like all the moody elevator music on the box so I put in a couple bucks and started to rock up the place. In about two songs the people at the table left and I realized it was Jose Faliciano, his whatever, and his driver. The Driver was in casual dress so I didn't know they were the party in the limo. This bar had a fair share of famous regulars but I was new to the area and didn't know it.
Cool Movies:
The Green Mile, Hitch, A River Runs Through it, Music and Lyrics, Eddie and the Cruisers, The Divinchi Code, I need the list to think of all of the names!
My Favorite Groups are:
I like Classic Rock and Blues best, but I enjoy Temptations, Three Dog Night , Smokey, Allman Brothers, Little Feat, Springsteen, Mellencamp, AC/DC, Doors, Dead, Bonnie Rait, Jewell, Susan Tedeschi, SRV, Hooker, Buddy Guy, Santana, Petty, Seger, Stones, Aerosmith, Dave Mathews, Dylan, Marley, Marvin Gaye, Neal Young, Led Zeppelin, CCR, Skynyrd, Kid Rock, and about a 1/2 inch of country!
I am looking for a personality like:
I basically can't think of anyone who inspired me, but I've met some famous people and learned that they can still be A'holes. I have learned that I've been raised with a good set of morals, and I can take pride in being able to hang on to them through the years.
Are you willing to compromise in difficult times and situations?
Does living in an apartment after having a new home built (to my own drawings) in the center of 10 acres count? How about selling my Harley when it is almost paid off, just because I was so depressed I didn't have an interest in much of anything? I have stories of compromising my better judgement to buy a new truck for my wife and (two months) later divorcing her but we don't want to relapse my therapy now do we? I am compromising my life now just because I wanted to go far and start over. I figured that with all that the Katrina survivors had to endure, I can manage to pick up again.
Willingness to meet others from boM:
I'm on Eharmony now, but I don't get that many past the first step which is attraction! We all have our own criteria in what we are attracted to, if you don't, your head is in the wrong place. I consider any that wearing blinders and settling. I fall into the same boat, I don't want to be "settled for". Yes, I'm serious at considering meeting someone from here, if I feel the attraction ( I don't mean large breasted barbie) I'm going after her. I consider myself average, I'm content with average. I'm looking at profiles as well as looks!
Are you ready to start from scratch?
I'm definitely looking for a fresh start in finding the right person for me. I moved here from miles away and have been divorced for over 5 years. I've done my soul searching, reflection, seclusion, and regrouping. I'm hoping to find someone else that knows what's important to her, and I fit her wishes. I know there is never a simple formula to that but I am short with people I recognize as wrong. I'm not looking to get laid first, and get familiar later.
My typical day:
I have always hoped to just meet someone who, when we share stories, it seems as though we have known one another all of our lives. I've spent my life looking for some kind of connection that was never found, so you tend to just enjoy someone different. But, it seems that deep inside there is a bit of emptiness. I want to find the one who really shakes my earth. I've been on Eharmony and have over 800 closed matches because for one reason or another, I wasn't willing to compromise what I'm after now.
My Wish List Includes:
I'm past the adrenelin junkie stage. I'd like to go out trail walking and sightseeing around here. I've heard of people dying from that around here. I'd like to have a new home with a wife to share in creating our own santuary. I'd like to have someone to create our own history together. I wouldn't mind having another Harley sightsee around the state(s) on.
