SBM, 48 yrs old, 195lbs - 5'8" tall, average/athletic build, nice physique (still have a few things to work on though smile), intelligent, handsome, openly affectionate and passionate, hopeless romantic looking for a queen to share my castle. I enjoy reading, writing, cooking and eating good food, playing card games, board games, watching TV, DVD's, on occassion play some Tekken or Space Invaders...(old school!), hanging with my girl, family and a close tight little circle of friends. I have a big loving heart, very caring and sensitive gentlemanly manner about myself. I am a very confident man, I dont think of myself as arrogant by any means, always respectful of another persons thoughts and feelings....I am at ease and at peace with who I am. Way passed the ego trips and no I dont tolerate any drama in my Life anymore and wont bring any into your Life either. I am a family man, a one woman man that has learned through the years and relationships the things that have real value and purpose cannot be counted with or by dollar sign....but by how they touch your heart and affect your Life. I am looking for a woman that is attractive (race is open), someone intelligent, romantic, passionate and very affectionate. I need a woman that has goals, plans, ideas and ideals for her Life, her future, for and with her man...and independent woman but not so independent that she doesnt need a man and acts like it. That I dont want in my Life. You should be trustworthy, able to commit to a relationship, able to communicate freely, talk about her feelings, the world, Life in general, someone who is not afraid to love someone or to allow herself to be loved. A woman that is ready to start a long term relationship, mature enough to know that compromise doesnt mean bowing down, someone ready to deal with the trails and tribulations that sometimes arise as we go through Life, and not just give up at the first sign of trouble and go find someone else to settle with cuz we disagree on something without talking it out, trying to work it out. I want a relationship built on friendship, open communication (with and to each other not AT each other), common traits, love, passion, honesty, truth, desire and mutual respect and attraction. So if being in a relationship with a good man that will love you, honor you, take care of you the way a man should, and you are willing and able to love me, take care of me the way a woman should, then by all means write me back and lets see what happens
