This is a long read!!! partially because I want to filter out the lazy brains, partially because the devil is in the detail. I am 30 years old, a father to one little girl, she lives with her mother and stays with me sporadically, I have catholic beliefs but am a sinner unfortunately, I'm done with messing about I got it out my system in my 20s, wouldn't say I'm looking for anything in general but I'm open to everything, first time on a site like this I've always done it the real way, not from behind a screen. I'm a confident guy, and don't need reassuring constantly, id say I'm a traditional mans man. old school values. a man should be the head of the family and pillar of strength in a relationship or family in general, and a woman should be a home maker nurturer and help to enable me to do my part for our relationship/family as the protector and provider in general. I don't beat around the bush I say wat I mean, I cant stand woke nonsense so if your about that save yourself the time. if I sound like your kind of guy maybe your my kind of girl who knows. I'm over the looks are everything phase. I love to discuss meaningful topics and respectfully engage in debate, if a woman is on a similar wave length to me in terms of wit and humour that's what's truly important to me. obviously has to be some level of attraction but the older I get the more I find beauty in imperfections and less in perfection.
