In a word, I am REAL. Strong but gentle, trustworthy, confident, and natural. I enjoy 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 two 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 are always reasons for joy. MY girl will have what matters most, and find her home in my arms.

The foundation of a lasting marriage is built on realistic expectations, not a wish for something ideal. I dream in reality you might say, determined to find that heart-to-heart/soul-to-soul connection! Thousands of beauties here, but I look deeper. After all, we end up living with who the person is INSIDE, even if we are initially attracted from the outside. Who you really ARE, who you are as a person, is what 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, among those good things, magical feelings with that special person is a realistic expectation). Is a smile often seen on your face? Do you want that 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 be like heaven, but when two people complement each other, their 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, naturally affectionate, truthful in everything, and able to show deep respect for her man. I tried to keep the list short, but at least you know the qualities I seek)

Some people complicate life, even love. But for those teamed up well, 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.
