Hmm. . . after 24 years "off the market", what to say. Well, in keeping with my headline, I'm pretty much a "generic" guy in a lot of ways. That means that I don't like to shave on the weekends, watch the NFL on Sundays while eating chips and drinking beer, don't like to go shopping or care what's on sale, and scratch myself in all the wrong places at exactly the wrong time in public. I've also been told that I'm "brutally" honest, so you probable shouldn't ask me if your rear end "looks to big in this" dress, slacks, etc. , unless you're looking for an excuse to commit murder or it really doesn't. I also wear shorts and old tee shirts with holes in them around the house in the evenings, and don't get rid of my underwear so long as there are two or more underwear molecules still intact. Up till then, they're kind of like old friends. I'm definitely a little rough around the edges, but clean up well. I do have somewhat of a German Tumor (beer belly), but it's all bought and paid for. I also hunt and shoot, so if you have a problem with hunting and/or firearms, read no further. If I haven't scared you off yet, you'll definitely need a good sense of humor if you decide to give me a chance. It will help.

My ideal partner would be someone who likes getting a dozen roses at work just because I feel like it. I like to give small gifts just to say "I'm thinking about you. " I did all this in the past, and it was never appriciated. I'm pretty set in my ways and will continue doing it. Must like to treated as a lady because my parents raised me to be a gentleman. Must be comfortable in either a dress at the theater, or bluejeans fishing on the lake/stream. Flyfishing is a plus, but I can teach you, or you don't even have to go so long as you don't mind that the kids and I go. Other than that, I guess I pretty much want what everyone else does. Must be willing to be a partner for life. I never want to go through this again. It's been hard, but being with my kids was worth it. Now, my kids are with me. I'm looking for a happy ending, you should be looking for the same.
