Man. 50 years old. Zodiac sign: Cancer.
Looking for: woman. In age: 47-57
I'm an active, 50 year old guy who loves the outdoors, sports of almost any kind. I try to stay physically fit and healthy, I love to cook, I'm told I have a great sense of humor. I recently graduated from a certification program for computers in hopes of bettering my opportunities in these tough economic times. I don't believe that you can't teach an old dog new tricks.lol. I love all kinds of music, though not a fan of Rap, I still respect the Art. I love ALL animals. I have 3 cats. I'm very outgoing. Kind of a Jack of all trades when it comes to working around a house. I consider myself to be a romantic at heart, compassionate, and affectionate. I'm a lover, not a fighter, even though I spent most of my life playing hockey...lol. Also, I probably won't respond unless you have an updated photo in your profile. I like to be able to see the person I'm chatting with. It's only fair, I have mine up. On a first date, I'd have to say I'm the gentleman type. I first like to find out what type of foods she enjoys, whether she prefers wine or a beer with her meal, or even just soda or water. I'm the type that will hold a door open for a lady, and help her push her chair in when she sits. I certainly have no problem with a kiss on the first date. Anything else beyond that has to come through chemistry. I always found that if a conversation comes easy between 2 people, then there is a certain degree of chemistry already there. If there is any sign of difficulty in holding a conversation, I tend to take that as a bad omen. It probably just isn't meant to be. But I also feel it takes more then one date to get to know someone well enough. I don't believe in one-nite stands

Everyone on a dating site should read this! "Life offers a surplus of things to do and several ways to meet potential dating partners. A city’s culture of abundance with respect to dating, is further perpetuated by online dating sites that make it easy to meet people that one otherwise may not have met. Ironically, while the option to meet new people increases, it becomes more and more difficult to build a serious relationship.Access to endless people through online platforms makes it difficult to decide who to date. The task of choosing is “debilitating” and once a choice is made, one wonders if it was, in fact the right one. Committing to a person becomes a herculean task, where no matter who one chooses, one will always see someone better. This opportunity cost is not just limited to a potential date – people are stereotypically busy, and have to choose between working, exercise, socializing with friends or, meeting a stranger to see if there is a 'connection'.Similarly, online dating sites create a sense of removal and apathy during the initial stages of the relationship due to the impersonal nature of exchanging inbox messages. Dating requires time and effort, and falling for someone requires repeated human interaction in several forms – making eye contact, laughing together and revealing something about oneself. The more investment one puts in a relationship, the more of a return one can expect to get out of it. A sense of removal means that personal interactions are fewer. Therefore, one has less of an investment in the relationship, and gains less of a return.“How can you get dumped when you were never really involved?”Interesting,isn't it?I saw it on another profile and copy/pasted(I asked her first!),because it explains why people keep coming back on these sites,or never leave them in the first place! Hopefully the awareness of the problem will help us avoid it....But about me :)I'm pretty smart,pretty quiet,kind of sarcastic although not to hurt anyone,see the humor in most situations,don't have a big ego but I'm confident in myself.Never married,have kids that I see regularly,my relationships generally last a long time-not a serial dater at all!I'm busy with work,exercise,renos,family,etc,but want to make time for someone important to me.Like the headline says...Don't be shy to message;it's not a commitment,and I've found that looking at a profile tells you little about how attracted you're going to be to that person in real life! We'll figure it out

Man. 48 years old. Zodiac sign: Leo.
Looking for: woman. In age: 45-55
Family and friends are most important to me and I enjoy spending time with them, usually filled with good fun and lots of laughs. I enjoy traveling and have been very fortunate to have traveled many places around the world and I would love to share my future travels with someone special. I very much enjoy riding my motorcycles, ATV's and snowmobiles, more opportunities to have fun with family and friends. I am pretty handy so I am the guy that all my friends call when they need something fixed which is fine because I get great satisfaction from helping others. Most would say I am fairly traditional and a man’s man, I can build and fix things, I drive a pickup, open doors for ladies, most comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt but enjoy dressing up for the right occasions. I am pretty vain, my image is important to me and I am quite the smart ass ;) I enjoy a very broad range of music, enjoy a good movie, I don't do it often but do enjoy a good art or technology museum.
