In a word, I am REAL. Strong but gentle, trustworthy, confident, and natural. I run my own business without letting it run my life. The true measure of a person comes from who we are inside, not just skills or ability. For some reason, people are drawn to me easily. I am my own man, purposeful and well-grounded, with intelligent wit, a subtle sense of humor, calm in a raging storm, and maybe some understated charisma. Reliable, thoughtful, encouraging, resilient, good listener...this also describes me. For my woman I will be her strong shoulder, her safe harbor and reason to smile. I'm attentive and rather perceptive, the man who will understand her like no one else. Above all I am a GIVER, and looking for the same! It can be the best life for the ones who know how it naturally draws souls closer. Will we be "the ones"?? If so, I think it will be undeniable!

Common values, mutual trust, a home filled with peace, laughter, and unlimited kisses ~ these are my priorities. I know what love IS and what its NOT, and the keys for family happiness. I lead a healthy lifestyle and despite my age, am young in spirit, mind, and body, with qualities rarely found these days. My lady will see this. She will find a new meaning of happiness, and love that breathes life into her soul each day. These are chaotic times no matter where you look in the world. But for those well-suited to each other, there will always be reasons for joy. My woman will have what matters most, and find her home in my arms.

Perfection is not found in imperfect people. So, I dream in reality you might say. A solid foundation in marriage comes with realistic expectations. The only "ideal" I look for is an ideal UNION. For the man and woman who cherish what they have, no day is insignificant, no challenge too big. It's mainly about working through problems together, with the goal of finding a solution rather than winning.

Thousands of beauties here, but I look deeper. Who you are as a person is what matters most. Is clear and open communication important to you? I think it precedes everything good that follows. Do you find yourself smiling often? ..staying positive? Do you want the man who feels like your own soul? These things will resonate with the one for me. I look for the girl with a bright spirit. She is kind, warmhearted, smart, and naturally affectionate. Reasonable, truthful in everything, and able to show deep respect for a man with character, stability, and caring ways. Likely she is strong in some ways, yet desiring to be weak with him at times. I need someone mature enough to know the effort involved in building something strong and lasting. In relationships, not all days are like heaven. But when two people complement each other, love still feels good. That is real life, and how a great love works. They bring out the best in each other, with patience and understanding (..& a little playfulness sprinkled in 😉)
You are not reading the words of an ideal guy or someone with his head in the clouds. Just a man unlike most, in ways that will matter to the one for me.

(If you are self-absorbed or superficial, or if drama tends to follow you––pass me by. We are not a good match)
