Just here for the forums....found my mate right here on POF!! Can you believe that!! Had a great time here and went on many dates.....wasn't as hard as most say. Created a great profile and got a reasonable amount of *** women approach me *** the other way around and had much more success that way!!Now that I'm taken, I'll leave you ladies with a few tips on things to be mindful of when you write your profiles. Here are a few things that turned me on and turned me off when reading ladies profiles:1). Seeing a preferred age range that is much younger than you (i.e. woman is 42 and is looking for a man ***. This was a huge turnoff to me and simply told me she really wasn't seriously looking for an LTR with someone from her peer group. She wants a boy toy for a short fling to make her feel young. I skipped ALL of the ladies that had this kind of criteria........2). Saying your kids come first - a complete turnoff! As a single dad, I have committments and responsibilities to my son. HOWEVER, the lady in my life is as equally important as my son, as is her kids too, and I expect she treats me with the same respect. How can you possibly build an LTR with someone when there is NO expectation that you will be an equal part of her or his family at some point? No one in their right mind wants to come second, third, or fourth in a relationship........being a responsible parent is cool (we all have to do that, and with that does come commitment). However, stating outright that your kids always come first is a complete turnoff.......3). Do show your softer side. Too many women take their independence to an extreme and are quick to shout that they "don't need a man but want a man". Ladies, let me be the first to tell you that I NEED a woman. Not to clean my clothes or cook meals, but for companionship and love. I am incomplete without it. Its good to be independent, but if you have no need for a man then why are you bothering to date? Ladies that showed me they needed me for those things as much as I need them (some vulnerability there for sure) got the green light.4). Tattoos. Yea, if you felt a need to tarnish your body with some permanent bumper stickers and then show them off like they are some kind of trophy, thats an immediate "pass" from me..........its simply trashy, and I don't care what kind of "meaning" they have to you......skip.....next.........One other very important nugget you single moms should know about us middle aged men.-habitate with you for a time and things between us go sideways (even if you're already getting support from your ex)....due to this kind of law, its VERY hard for us to commit to a relationship that involves co-habitation while you have young kids......I made this clear to alot of ladies that I dated and some of them didn't like my stand, but I have to do this to protect the financial obligations that I have to my son - I can't afford to pay more Child Support than I already do. Its good to be aware of the legal ramifications that we males risk if we engage in a relationship with single moms, but I think this fact may also reveal why some of us men are so non-committal at this age.....something to think about, for sure..... My first dates were always a hit.....just something laid back like a walk in the park, glass of wine, etc.......did me well!!

I\'m a respectful person who knows how to treat a partner. I\'m a good listener and believe that communication makes for a better relationship. Search for reasonable people to make a good couple.

I'll make you a deal. If you take a chance and get to know me, I promise that I'll treat you with as much respect and consideration as anybody has.Me-I enjoy doing different things than most people and although I would always appreciate having my mate along, I know that everybody has different interests and I'm certainly not trying to find someone to join me in all of those activities. What I am looking for, eventually, is a best friend, lover, a strong connection and a healthy relationship.I'm really into nature and spend most of my spare time hiking in the local forests or paddling through the wetlands. As a hobby I teach wilderness skills and survival and do a lot of overnight backpacking where I can hang out with all the amazing wildlife we have here and watch the incredible night sky as I fall asleep. I probably get out doing things like this at least twice a week. I see such amazing things! A lot of people say they like to hike and camp but I live it. I hang out with the deer and porcupines and the peregrine falcons. I also spend time hanging out at home with the cats, having friends over to visit and creating stuff. I guess if someone was here with me I would be snuggling up on the couch and talking about life too.I never watch sports. There are plenty of other men for that. Actually, I really don't watch any tv and feel like I'm wasting other real life experiences when it's turned on. I don't think mine has actually been plugged in since the storm season started...two years ago. I do watch the odd movie on my computer, mostly in the winter.I'm very much into conservation and I'm active in a number of organizations that work to protect nature. I mainly do this to keep up the exercise that I wouldn't otherwise get in the winter.Because I hike, bike and row a lot, I'm physically fit. Most people think I'm in my mid thirties.I always park my truck in the summer and tried it this last winter too. Some people will think it is weird that I bike to most places but it keeps me in really good shape, I save a ton of money and it's a good example for conservation. I have plenty of good friends that always offer me rides to pick up big items and they know that I am always willing to come and fix their computer or help with whatever. It builds community.My home is a very quiet sanctuary. I'm kind of a minimalist so its a simplistic, cozy, small home. I'm very tidy.I eat very healthily but fall off of the wagon occasionally (damn ice cream!).I'm very mild mannered and non-confrontational. I'm not possessive, needy or dependent. I'm not going to have a problem with you getting together with your friends (male or female) to do other activities on a regular basis. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to be out in the bush all day looking for a pileated woodpecker nest.I'm a bit of a romantic I guess. I own the most powerful astronomy equipment in the Red Deer area but nothing seems to make me feel closer to the stars than cozying up in thick blankets with someone under a starry sky.I'm very lucky to have a lot of very good friends. I'm not sure what I've done to deserve them but they take very good care of me and we do a lot of interesting things together. They are all very involved with the community. I don't speak to my family and I think I would go crazy if I didn't have other such good, salt of the earth people in my life.I'm really easy going so message me anything, even if you have no idea what to say and just say "Hi." At least I'll know you are interested.“Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment.” - Nice setting. No stress, just appreciation for each others company and experiences.
