I am an introverted, basically shy, football watching guy who's tired of being alone and lonely. I'm smart with a sarcastic wit. I'm a country boy who has been to the big city.I liked it then but not now. I'm not handsome but I don't scare dogs and small children either. I dislike arrogance, politicians, pushy people, annoying drunks, loud-mouths and liars. I'm a bit stubborn and can be a little cranky at times. I like what I like and don't like what I don't like and I'm not going to apologize for either. I am what I am. I make mistakes and I own up to them - and I expect the same of others. I do have a softer side as well. I like puppies and kitties (with salt and BBQ sauce). I love nature and wildlife. I like rock oldies and real country. Action, horror and sci-fi movies. I like the outdoors, watching football, some travel, observing wildlife, seeing nature's masterpieces.I think there is nothing more beautiful or awe-inspiring than a thunderstorm. I like going out occasionally if I have someone to go with. I like sharing quiet moments and exciting times. Sitting together and just talking. Holding hands during a quiet evening walk. Snuggling close on stormy nights. I miss the comfort of just knowing someone I care about is there. I'm looking for a woman who is easy to talk to and just 'fun' to be around. It doesn't hurt if she has a crazy side. Honesty, the ability to carry on an intelligent conversation, appreciation of humor and not hung up on age are musts. I'd really like to meet a woman who flat-out says what she thinks (or feels) - no word games. I know I'm no prize but I have some good qualities ...............and some good years left.
