I am looking forward to retirement and spending the rest of my life with a wonderful girl always by my side. My hobbies are cars, motorcycles, exploring/adventure trips and creating things from wood and metal with my hands. I love children and animals, especially dogs and horses. I work in the city but live in a wonderful stone cottage on a lake in the country where I enjoy bonfires and barbecues with friends, kayaking, and fishing. I have everything I need but YOU!

Some things I believe:
Actions prove who someone is. Words only prove who they want to be.
The true mark of maturity is when someone hurts you and you try to understand their situation instead of trying to hurt them back.
A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for.
Life is 10 percent what happens to you, and 90 percent how you react to it.
90 percent of what we worry about never happens.
The greatest prison people live in is the fear of what other people think of you.
Never forget 3 types of people in your life:
1 - Who helped you in difficult times.
2 - Who left you in difficult times.
3 - Who put you in difficult times
Add life you your years as well as years to your life.


The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains and thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive and not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

And I've dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, remembered the thing you said
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

I’m not so much concerned about physical characteristics such as height, hair or eye color, only that my mate respects her body and stays fit. The qualities I seek are more internal.
- Honesty. On all matters. So if your pics are photoshopped to make you look 20 years younger, please pass me by. It’s easy to tell when the wrinkles & lines have been erased from a photo. Why hide something online that you can’t hide in real life? I don’t care for women who pretend to be something they are not.
- Faithfulness. I need to be your one and only man.
- Trust. An absolute necessity in any relationship.
- Maturity. I’m a bit flexible here, but when we go out to dinner I expect you to be recognized as my wife. Not my daughter or even granddaughter.
- Sexuality. I think this is an important and necessary part of a relationship between a man and a woman.
I hope I can meet the right lady and that I can be what she needs as well.
