Whatever happened to the old fashion way of dating? When dating was much simpler. You spot attractive woman in your village, go up to knock her in the head. Drag her back to your cave and after she recovers from a concussion and head trauma you can begin to talk about a future together. I'm not a a liar or a cheater I don't do drugs and my consumption of alcohol is very limited if any. I'm not looking for any one night stands or meaningless relationships. (The whole act is meaningless unless you have a loving connection with the one your with.) If what's what your looking for stop ,reading now. (Be warned Scammers and (Catfish) I will ask you to prove who you Really are So your just wasting your time on me. So unless your the real deal don't even try.) I am a man with a strong moral compass. A man that will Love you unconditionally that will take the time to get to know you intimately and be there for you durring times of both joy a sorrow. Someone to laugh with you and someone to hold & comfort you when you need to cry. I don't have much time to read but I listen to many books on Audible .

Then I check her out from head to toe from the way she styled her hair to the shoes she had chosen to wear that day & everything in between to see if there is any physical attraction. (Which I feel is very important in a relationship) If I feel a attraction from both her and myself then an intelligent conversation ensues. To find out if there is a chance for a deeper more meaningful connection. (I love smart women) Well we all have things we like/ find attractive about the opposite gender. I would have to say I prefer slim to average body types. So girls that's really all I have to add. I hope we all find someone who makes us Crazy in Love! I don't go hunting but I Love to go to the Range and Target Practice with my AR 15. I'm a big supporter of Our 2nd Amendment.( Rant Alert) I feel this country is headed for some real serious trouble if we don't make some Big changes in The way this Government is run. Ya know I never used to care anything about politics. I just thought Politicians Always made decisions based on what's best for the people they represent. After I was Awakened. I realized That our Government does what's best for Government and that they could care less about the people. So if you are not concerned about where we're headed as a country you haven't been paying attention. ( Rant concluded) I really don't want to make anyone feel rejected or hurt anyone's feelings so if I don't respond it just means I've read your profile and don't feel we would be a good match. Good luck to all finding that special someone that makes their palms sweat and their heart beat faster. Looking for a friend first then Maybe more if we Click. I live in Midland area But I Work out of Coopersville, MI (Relocating to another State or city would not be any problem for me for the Right woman)****************************************************** ************************************************************ ********************************************************* PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COPY AND PASTE THIS TO YOUR OWN PROFILE. IF WE MAKE IT HARD FOR THE SCAMMERS / CATFISH WE MIGHT JUST GET THIS SITE SCAMMER FREE. Well if you been on this site very long you've probably been contacted by a scammer and someone who says they are someone that they're not. So I want to tell you my solution to finding out if they are a Scammer or not and it seems to be working for me. If you suspect them of being a scammer. One of the first things a scammer will do on this site after they make contact with you they want immediately get off of this site, via email, text messaging, or ask to be on your Facebook account. The first thing you should do when contacted by a suspected scammer is politely ask them if they wouldn't mind validating who they are and that you're only doing this to establish trust. Which is the basics of a new relationship especially in a loving relationship. So the way I validate that their picture is who they say they are is :I ask them to take a selfie of them holding something you specify it could be anything it could be a coin it could be a spoon or anything and have them hold it up to their face so you can see their face in the selfie. And you can have them posted to their profile or you can have it sent to your email if you don't mind giving out your email.((By the way it is a good idea to get a alternative email just for dating sites. One you don't mind giving out and one that you wouldn't care if it got totally erased. Whatever you do don't give out your actual email)). Usually the scammers will be very reluctant to do that.They will say things like :What you don't trust me! You think I'm lying to you. Why can't you just take my word for it that I'm real.( Are just a few things they might say to prevent you from finding out that they're not who they say they are.) But my reply to them is: all I'm asking you to do is to take a picture of yourself holding something that I specify and it should take you all of one minute and if you feel that that's asking way too much of you well I'm sorry I guess our conversations are over. Because if you don't feel that my trust in you is worth the effort it takes to validate your picture then you don't value the potential of this relationship at all. So Lady's the lesson today is :" If it sounds and looks too good to be true it probably is."
