In a word, I am REAL. Strong but gentle, trustworthy, confident, and natural. I'm passionate about my work without letting it run my life. The true measure of a person comes from who we are inside, not just abilities. For some reason, people are drawn to me easily. I am my own man, purposeful, well-grounded, and true to myself, with intelligent wit and subtle sense of humor. Thoughtful, encouraging, a good listener, this also describes me. For my woman I will be her strong shoulder, her safe harbor and reason to smile. I am 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 draws souls even 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 it's NOT, and the keys to 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 difficult times no matter where you look in the world. But for those well-suited to each other, there will always be reasons for joy. I want to believe MY girl will have what matters most, and find her home in my arms.

A solid foundation in marriage comes with realistic expectations. The only "ideal" I look for, is if we end up feeling that way about our UNION. Perfection is not found in a world full of imperfect people) Still, when the man and woman are teamed up well, even on the worst days you are glad to lying next to THIS person when you fall asleep at night! So I dream in reality you might say, determined to find that heart-to-heart/soul-to-soul connection.

There are thousands of beauties here, but I look deeper. After all, we end up living with who the person is INSIDE, even when the first spark of attraction is from the outside. Who you really ARE, who you are as a person, matters most. The one for me thinks along these same lines. Is clear and open communication important to you? I think it precedes everything good that follows (& yes, magical feelings with that special someone is a realistic expectation). Is a smile often seen on your face? Do you want the man who feels like your own soul? These things will resonate to my kind of woman. She is mature enough to know the effort involved in building a happy life together. Some days may not always be like heaven...but when two people complement each other, love still feels good. They bring out the best in each other, with patience and understanding (..and a little playfulness sprinkled in :wink😃 I want someone with a bright spirit. She is genuine, kind, smart, loyal, and naturally affectionate Truthful in everything, and able to show deep respect for her man. Some people complicate life, even love. But for those who relate well to each other, I think happiness is pretty simple. You are not reading the words of an ideal guy or someone with his head in the clouds. Just a man different than most ~ in ways that will matter to the one for me.
