Man. 54 years old. Zodiac sign: Aries.
Looking for: woman. In age: 51-61
Here we go again! I tried dating someone exclusively and that didn't work, so I scrapped the idea of internet dating. Tryin this again because it doesn't look like God is going to drop a good woman through the roof of my custom guitar shop (and she'd probably break my neck in the fall).I'm direct, honest, sincere, funny, intense, intelligent (except about women), and always thinking. I raised my two oldest daughters singularly for 7 years and they are wonderful adults. Survived cancer in ***and have a job that I love (so you won't hear me complain about work). I have all the free time that I need when I need it but tend to work 60 hours a week to keep myself occupied. All of that I've done by myself, a partner in crime would be great. I've parachuted, saturation dived, blown up everything known to man, and all those I consider safe compared to internet dating!Spending time with my 3 daughters and granddaughter is important to me.. They are still the most important people in my life. Going to be a grandpa again early in ***and think that just rocks! I have many interests: guitars, motorcycles (you can do everything on a bike just short of conception), guns, old hot rods, baseball, music, good books, road trips, sailing, horseback riding, surfiing, my morning workout & meditation,repelling, bad guitar Thursdays (lots of marginal Jimmy Pages &I have this huge bucket list to work on and I'm just looking for one good woman that GET'S IT.;Stairway to Heaven" exactly right!What I've learned about internet dating in 90 days:a) Have you ever looked at your "matches" on this site? I look at it sometimes and think, huh? I can only assume there are 2 criteria for a match, you are a female and breathing!b) Any photo will work! You don't need to have a recent one. Just pick your favorite photo of youreself. In can be a Polaroid from 25 years ago, just as long as it makes you happy!c) In the days of camera phones, cheap video recorders, etc. almost no one has any real friends to take their photos. Hence, everyone has to post a profile pic of themselves standing in front of the bathroom mirror.d) The body size "Average" encompasses everything from small to a sub compact car. Talk about a wide range, its like defining the word normal. All sizes should be listed in inches and pounds. Men's minds work that way! What do you mean a woman's size "7" if you are 5'1" isn't the same as a woman's size "7" at 5'10". Who the hell came up with that system?e) Over 50% of the profiles contain "wine tasting, red wine, or just wine" as an interest. Are you kidding me? Personally, I prefer whiskey (it is the most refined of all spirits). I don't put it down as an interest. I'll bet the guy living under the overpass, that wears the rain coat, and carries the brown paper bag around would list wine tasting as an interest too!f) A woman that doesn't like motorcycles will actually message a man that lists motorcycles as an interest, has several photos of motorcycles in his profile. She will chat with that man for the better part of a week and then tell him continuing any communication wouldn't work because she doesn't like motorcycles? DUH?g) Internet dating is the modern day version of "Let's Make a Deal". You remember the original version with Monty Hall as the host (crap, am I dating myself or what?). A woman will blow up your inbox with messages, text you, call you for several days. Then one day, "POOF" You were traded for the man in the big box with the red bow or what's behind door # 3.h) Meeting? You mean we actually have to do that at some time? I thought this was going to be like that scene from the movie Demolition Man.i) There should be an added catagory for, "I don't want to date. I just want to piss off the person that I've been dating for years to get a little more attention."j) Shopping as an interest? Yeah, men get that! NOT! Men know the location of a hardware store, sporting goods, some of the aisles in a grocery store, and if he owns a bike, the nearest Harley dealership. We don't get shopping but we know it happens. Sort of like us (men) burping and fondling the TV remote. Do we need to list those?k) And NO, texting is not a form of conducting a relationship. Its purpose is for "Can you pick up a gallon of milk & a dozen eggs on the way home?" GEEZ, sometimes the wonders of modern technology diminish social interaction! Dinner, a drink, casual conversation. That's the norm, isn't it? This time of year I'd prefer a motorcycle trip north. A bad day riding is better than a good day at work!

I am a creative sort, and tackle many projects. From cabinet sets to boat building, and furniture building. I really like working with my hands. The computer and TV are not my thing. I am a very active person.Some times I feel like a young man trapped in an old mans body. But I keep on rollin'.During the warmer days, I am out in the yard, or at a river or lake enjoying the water. The colder days, I like to go to a casino somewhere. I like to go pawn shopping or garage sailing, and occasionally at an auction. Tools are my thing...I have over ***power tools...whoo hoo.I have a few types of music I listen to. Southern bands in classic rock are my favorites, I also like some Indie, grunge, alternative and pop. My manners are good, not great but good, opening doors, take the check, seat my date before myself, public affection, you know normal stuff.Dressing up is nice, been awhile since last did that, I do polish up ok, wanna' see?I do work, have a good job that I enjoy doing, and can make as much money as I want or as little as I need.So, I am not looking to be supported, and I do own a home in the valley, so, I don't need a place to crash.I have my independence, and believe it is important.If your looking for eye candy...ya not me...but I am presentable. My boss told me that some time ago.My character is good and like to be busy most the time. I am not a couch potatoAND I recycle. Meet for a drink or coffee. See from there. I can be spontaneous.

**Sep ***How is it possible to go away from this site and come back and see the exact same people? :) :) :) :) ** Okay, so I have taken out my little mini-novel; this is the "short" version of my profile LOL. :)When I first put my profile out here quite some time ago, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I wrote that I must be completely bananas and that I hoped that this place would be “a peeling” in one way or another. After a short while, I reached an epiphany. That is, maybe I shouldn’t be looking at what I can “take” from this place. Perhaps I should also be looking at what I can contribute. (Think JFK’s speech but apply it to cyberspace. ) Isn't that just totally bananas? So yes, I decided to make lemons out of lemonade. Where is that “lemon” icon???? I know some of you will think this is cheesy and maybe even ridiculous, but here are some of the things I have been doing lately:- answering every single *** me regardless of my “interest”- writing to people who seem down for the “soul” purpose of lifting them up- being a friend to those who request it and offering whatever wisdom I might have.Do I have tons of free time on my hands? Believe it or not, I don’t. I just believe that the way we behave in cyberspace should parallel the way we behave in the “real world.” Am I the only one out here who believes that "character" is really important in an individual? For what it's worth, here is some free advice that is hopefully worth at least a few cents more than what you paid for it! If you ladies find yourself attracted to a certain guy, I encourage you to guard your heart intitially and look as deeply as you can at that individual. When all the “props” are removed, what is left? Can you really trust that person? Will he really care about you in the good times and not so good times? Will he stick around in the long-run? Character, character, character. It's not what the man drives, but what drives the man. A few more details about me:My Objective for Being Out Here: Although it's nice to log in once in a while to a mailbox full of messages, that's not the reason I'm here. For me, it’s really not about filling up the boat with fish. It’s about making quality connections. Quality is better than quantity any day. And when I say quality, it doesn't mean that you have to be perfect. Nobody is. (Well, I'm just about there, LOL. ) In fact, from my point of view, it doesn't matter where you have been or what you have done, if you are in the process of constantly striving to become a better person, then I'm very impressed.Paying it Forward Online: The Golden Rule. Awesome, isn't it? I think it applies to online communication as well as face to face communication. I would encourage everyone to behave as if the person who wrote to you were sitting right next to you. Maybe that person is not your type. In fact, odds are, that person is not your type. He or she could be too heavy, too thin, too tall, too short, too far away, too close, too old, too young, too, too, too something. And that's okay. But if our kind words and/or behavior online can lift up someone's day, why not pay it forward? Just my 2 cents worth. Philippians 2:3: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves."Honesty: I will always be honest with you, even with the minor issues. Isn't it better to go through life with the truth, even if it sometimes stings?On Being Myself: I agree with what I once heard someone say, "I would rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not."Age: I notice that this site allows you to exclude people from writing to you for certain reasons. One of these is age. All are free to contact me. Marital Status: I have never been married and have no children. Anything wrong with me? Yes, actually I look like a monkey and am addicted to organic bananas. Well, that's only partly true. ** BTW My preference is someone who has never been married before, and who has no children. There are of course, exceptions. :) **Religion: I am a Christian and try to live my life by Christian principles. I am a work in progress. I will always be a work in progress! Hopefully, each day, I can improve my life in some way, and in some way make the world a better place. I don't consider myself to be "religious" if that makes any sense.Health: I am somewhere around the 5'8" area and around average weight. I am also a vegetarian - almost vegan. It is important to me to try to live a healthy lifestyle because I believe that our physical, psychological, and emotional components are very much interconnected. Also, I am a vegetarian for more than health reasons. There is enough cruelty in the world without me adding to it. Of course, this does not mean that you have to be a veggie too. . . .;I never let my schooling interfere with my education." :) I will just say I have a lot of potential "interference." :) However, I realize that there are those with very little education who are "smarter" and wiser than even the most highly educated. I believe that our education never ends. We are all fish in the "school" of life. My Photos: Since this site seems to be sea- :)Answering *** know it sometimes takes courage for people to send *** here. In the past, I have answered all of my *** now, I will do the best the I can. :)A Couple of Questions for You: 1) How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?2) What is one thing you've done in your life that you are really proud of?"Describe what would you do for a first date. (optional) "I'm not sure what I would do. It's really not about the "doing" or about the "location" but about the person. With the right person, I could have a picnic next to a dumpster.
