sorry guys but I have to say this...if u are from a different country and ur profile pic is a hollywood actor, dont bother. the fact that ur from a different country should be enough of an alert, added with the fact that u might think all american girls are into hollywood types is just plain stupid, if you're so far away that I cannot actually see your face up close & personal, then please don't waste our time. Too straight forward??? if yes, then I wish you luck in your search, if not....please read on.

Ok, so here I am. I like a guy with a few extra pounds, facial hair, salt & pepper, u know, an average guy. If u use more mousse than me, please don't bother. I'm not into the expensive things, if I want it I buy it, but I dont charge it if i dont have it. I like to get up early and have my coffee in the back yard when it is very quiet. Such peace. I enjoy my huskies. I love going to the park with them. I love barbecuing. I love fish but I havent been fishing in years.

I love doing things in my house, like sheet rock, insulation, flooring and yes I did fix my boiler.

I also like to dress up pretty when I feel like being a girl. I admit I do have baskets of girly things that make me feel sweet :)

I try to find something to laugh about everyday. It's not that hard.

If you would like to know more, just send me a note.

I'm in my 40's. I have sons that do not live with me any more as they are of age.

When I wake up in the morning I want it to be beside someone who knows that I am not a materialistic person. I don't need jewelry, fancy bags or a mercedes. I need someone to be there for me when I want to snuggle, when I get home from work to ask about my day. I want someone who remembers what it's like to have that kiss on the neck...I don't need someone who is perfect. No one is perfect. I excercise, I ride my bicycle, I have some power tools and don't know all of their purposes, but I do try, usually I don't mess it up. I do not play games with someone's head and all I ask is that you don't play with mine. We all have a past. We all have baggage. What we do with that information is entirely up to us. I choose not to carry it on my shoulders. I won't hold my past experiences against you. I will believe what you tell me until you give me reason not to.

I believe that a woman should be a woman and a man should be a man. I appreciate the sensitivity of situations where a man can feel what women can, but please understand, sometimes I need you to be strong, and tell me that it will be ok. I promise, I will do that for you.

If you are reading this and you've come this far, then you might agree with or like some of what I've said. If you are interested in what I've written here, then please email me and I will certainly answer you back.

I wish all of you luck with your search.
