Hi! I'm your textbook A-positive personality. Energetic, neat freak, organized and attentive to detail. Being over-sensitive would be the one chink in my armor.I'm a totally positive person who chooses to look at the glass half-full,never half-empty. I have a tremendous sense of humor and I love sharing laughter & happiness with my friends.Of course;I am serious when deemed necessary.A definitive optimist though so I surround my life with those who share this same outlook.Life is far to short for head games or having anyone in or around my life that cause people pain & sorrow. I choose alternative & sk8er clothing.I listen to a wide range of music.I am not into the bar/club scene.I only drink on special occasions.I write very passionately and sometimes sensuously however I am a bit shy until comfortable and I blush easily.;)

I would like and also expect the woman that I am seeking to possess intellect,femininity,social skills,humor,honesty,fidelity,compassion and at least a small degree of commonality.I am not intimidated by a woman who is intellectually superior to myself in fact I would love to be constantly challenged & further my knowledge.Understandably there must be an attraction between us both in order for us to proceed beyond a first date.I was married to someone who was narcissistic,controlling and possessed serious insecurity issues so them are definite red flags for me understandably.So needless to say I would never want to experience nor repeat that type of relationship again in my lifetime.

I love making new friends however due to previous experiences on this site,it has become apparent that I should choose my friends more wisely and most certainly guard my heart from any further pain.I have accomplished a great deal in my life that I am very happy and proud of.I am a Dad of three beautiful angels who are well grounded and college educated.They will always have the highest priority in my life until I am called home.I am haunted by the fact that I have not found my well sought after and highly elusive soul mate.Then I can only hope & pray that we find one another.My passionate heart & poetic soul seeks his Goddess.I am a honorable veteran from the U.S.Army 101st Airborne.Ft.Cambell,Ky.Until there is Peace.Amen.p.s.my pen name is Cybear.My pic.will be"furnished upon request"for obvious reasons for this is the Internet which is riddled with unsavory characters.Godspeed!Steven ;=)

I've been asked by several people at this site"am I a shallow person?"This is my response to their question.The bottom line w/ me on this subject matter is honest,open,straight forwardness right from the onset of your communication w/ this other person.Otherwise U are filling up this hot air balloon w/ false truths,expectations,exaggerations,promises,etc.cleverly concealed beneath some guise of deception.This dimwitted & dishonest approach generally leads up to the same inevitable outcome.Do I have preferences? Of course I do & they are plainly & clearly stated within my profile.I will say that my preferences are not based solely on superficial attributes however there must be a pleasant attraction between us two for obvious reasons otherwise the sexual component of your relationship later will certainly be compromised.Do I have flaws? Of course I do.And I'm equally certain that she possesses some likewise.

At this point & age in my life I am completely aware of what I want & expect within a relationship.And more importantly what I don't want in my next relationship for I have learned well from sheer experience that nearly destroyed me financially,physically & emotionally.Hence the saying"if we are not taught by our past we are doomed to repeat it".If my words have left U w/ the impression that I am shallow then so be it for I can assure that I will not be concerned nor lose sleep over your indifference.There lies no limitations or time constraints to-wards finding my S/O as far as I'm concerned.I've been here 3 yrs.with some wonderful friends & I find the forums to be highly entertaining.Within me lies hope that we will one day find one another but until then I shall bide my time w/o any regrets,false hope or disillusionment.Godspeed! Cy

~Death of a King's Poet~

My honest stroke falls upon primitive wood
Reigns have changed as the axeman had stood
Battles were waged from fortress's of stone
My candle as companionship while I sit alone
Knights in armor survived by mighty sword
A quest for supremacy for their mighty Lord
Anxiously;I pace about on my creaking floor
Many screams of death pass beneath my door
Flesh has so little value as said by a jest
Fell by minds of tyranny boldly to confess
The roar of the trumpets;let the games begin
Merely entertainment,there's no wage of sin
A gleeful crowd roared as blood freely shed
No tally required for the insignificant dead
Shadowed by my sorrow my tears mixed in ink
Poisoned hearts jubilant w/a chaliced drink
Thy heart has grown so weary from their lies
Even a strength of mortar carries their cries
Within a dreadful kingdom lies so little hope
Merely a servant of words by a hangman's rope
My dawn of change it lies best within my head
By slip of tongue;I would accompany their dead
A trifle bit frightened of their gallows bay
No utterance of words though my heart did pray
A chant of cowardice within some ruthless game
Saving of innocent life doesn't harbor shame
Profound arrogance sitting upon a gilded throne
As lions feed greedily on muscle,sinew & bones
Here lies my Testament hidden beneath the floor
Death has arrived as they batter down my door;(
My hopes of a civil society beyond power & lust
1 day perhaps righteous laws that man will trust
