I hope I am the last man you will ever have to date. I am interested in many different types of people and have an open mind. Whatever your past or present situation, don't be afraid to contact me and chat. Even if we find that we don't have enough in common, we can still be acquaintances. I believe that making your choice strictly by age is closed minded. The person is what matters, not the number.
Another area of shallowness is in pictures and appearance. I am posting the most recent picture I have, but I do have more pics. I could even take one just for you, if you want an updated current picture or want me to make funny faces for you lol. I am willing to please whenever I can. I don't feel that you can get a lot out of a picture though, no matter how current it is. Some pictures are cropped very creatively. I have been told that I look better than my pictures, and I have met others that looked much better than their pictures. As long as your picture is honest and current, that can be a start. I just do not believe that you can decide right away from a picture.
I believe that two people need to work at a relationship. If you want strict role playing, that is not for me. Yes, I will open doors, give you nice things, do things for you, and do chivalrous things, but I also believe the woman should have some responsibility for making the relationship work. By that, I mean showing your heart, letting me know that you care, what you want if I don't see it easily, and stepping up when you are needed. I enjoy when a woman is forward and lets me know what she wants... and when lol. I don't always pick up hints.
I don't mean gender roles like cleaning the toilets or taking out the trash. I want a woman who can communicate, as well as take initiative. I would like an equal relationship. I guess I am looking for someone with a mature mind and a young heart.
I believe two people should be adults, independent souls, that want to share time, space, and love. I believe that we should be equally involved in the relationship, both want to give and take, and contribute to the well-being and happiness of each other. Without work from both sides, there is no relationship.
I live in SLO on the Central Coast of Cal, but am willing to meet others around the state if the match seems solid. It would take a lot of information before we would meet, to see if we might be compatible. I feel it is more respectful to decide online if you don't have a chance, than to draw things out and meet just for curiosity.
I am intelligent (in MY opinion lol), funny, and interesting to many. Do I sound conceited yet? lol I am really not conceited, but I do have confidence in myself, and who I am. I take charge when required, but can also take a back seat and enjoy the ride.
I like adventure, and to explore the Central Coast. Contact me and ask me whatever questions you want to ask. No matter how strange or offensive, I would still like to see what you have to say. If it is rude, I could use a good laugh :-)
