Describing yourself is almost like forced narcissism! I'll give it a try!
I'm a human being first and foremost. I have strengths and weaknesses just like anyone. I love laughter, and every day I try to make someone around me smile. I'm an optimist by nature, and even when things aren't so great, I will try to find the good in a person or situation.
I love my kids unconditionally, and have spent my life trying to be a good example of a human being. Be honest, admit when you're wrong, and respect other people. Work hard, and have fun!
On flaws - I over think things sometimes. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and sometimes I'm a little lazy and leave the dishes and cleaning!

My ideal woman is someone who is intelligent, and can challenge me. It doesn't matter if you have your own children - I know it's a package deal! if you want someone to have children with, I am not your man.
It's important that you can speak English well enough that we can actually speak with each other. How can anyone actually fall in love with someone they can't discover their inner world?
