I am a grounded and down to earth guy that tries to treat others with compassion and respect. I am looking for others engaged in life with similar interests, a sense of adventure, and a sense of humor helps too. I like someone who can laugh at themselves and others, not taking life so seriously. All of us are our own best entertainment. I like those who are willing to stand up for themselves and be a bitch at times when they feel it is important. Being nice does not mean you are being true to yourself or others. Be to the point and up front, that is what I respect and will reply with in return. I don't pretend to be innocent or have not done one-nighters, but that is not want I want or am looking for. From my experience the easy part for most is just the sex, I yearn for the heart to heart connection. Sex can be just sex, but sex with passion for each other is the ultimate. That takes time, effort, and courage for those willing to try. OK time to quit lecturing or being idealistic. Take a chance and say hello. I don't bite and am willing to listen, learn, and share. Just be yourself and be real! :-)
