I'm content with being single but I'm not against meeting someone happy with life. I have no kids: haven't ever wanted any. Rode a Harley for 5 years, sold it to get a better truck. No tattoos. Politically, I vote on the right, but I'm more libertarian than that would probably suggest to anyone who votes on the left. I do not love Big Brother and I don't understand why so many do.
I like to camp. Don't fish. I have zero interest in spectator sports. Nor do I rollerblade, swim, run, bike, or play group sports. I will not go bowling with you. More negatives: I don't dance, give flowers, wear sandals or flipflops or shorts, nor suits, nor jewelry, nor do I smoke (anything), or hang out at bars or enjoy parties. I like alcohol (Scotch and Guinness are my favorites) but absolutely hate getting drunk and try to avoid it.
I live in an apartment but I like to imagine I would love to live in a cabin out in the wilderness. I wish I could afford to be self-sufficient. I'm attracted to the idea of it. I have a strong desire to live out west somewhere, but can't afford that either. My idea of a wonderful vacation is heading west, not east, and traveling Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, etc.
The Frontier experience intrigues me quite a lot. About 15 years ago I was in an Old West reenactment group for around 5 years. I got disappointed after a while because it wasn't real enough. This wasn't a group with much of a devotion to horses or 19th century style camping, which would have appealed to me more.
I'm a Life Member of the NRA and I have a handgun carry permit. If we're showing up as enemies in the match searches this is probably one strong reason. Other reasons may have to do with my position on sex: I like sexually submissive, kinky women, and I do not want a partner who feels pornography has no place in a relationship. Finally, I do not use drugs and have no interest in being with anyone who does. Alcohol is fine. I like it and don't think I abuse it. You don't need to be a drinker yourself.
Tattoos have been a loud cattle call ("packaged rebellion") to youth, now, for over 20 years, so it's likely you've got at least one. It's not going to turn me on, and if you went overboard (the way I see it) it'll actually turn me off. If you've got a "sleeve" of ink or made your navel or back the center of a huge body piece, then move on and pass me by - you've ruined your body as far as I'm concerned. Getting a tattoo doesn't make you exotic, erotic, or mark you as a rebel. The tattoo as a mark of rebellion is almost five decades in the past. These days getting a tattoo just shows that you follow the fads of your generation, which makes you just like everybody else. I'd strongly prefer you to have no tattoos at all, but I realize that's wishful thinking given the current group-think culture.
_________________
This profile may come across as brash. My motivation is honesty about what I enjoy and what I don't enjoy. I need to emphasize this because I'm aware of how I am so unlike the sort of man most women seek.
Being an introvert, I am content alone and enjoy my own company. As someone once explained it to me, an extrovert gains energy from being around large groups of people and feels depleted when alone, whereas an introvert feels depleted after being around large groups of people and gains energy when alone.
I am not crowd phobic, but I don't seek out the experience of crowds for its own sake. I've said more than once, I could probably survive solitary confinement quite well, as long as I had a good stock of books and a computer with a text editor to help me structure my ideas.
I am a loyal man. When I make a commitment to a woman that is where I remain until it's clearly better to move on. I am slow to give up on a relationship, or at least I have been. I need communication. Being an introvert, my mind, any mind, matters to me. I need to believe that I interest you as a personality, and your personality has to mesh well with mine. The physical world is secondary to me.
That said, if you weren't female and sexually interesting and satisfying to me, I probably wouldn't want to spend a lot of time with you. I don't have any "friends". I haven't cultivated any, and, to be honest, I haven't as an adult gotten to know any men that I'd want to hang out with. There is no "boys' night out" with me.
The bad side of this is that I tend to hope that my female partner can be not only my lover and best friend, and so forth, but also my best buddy. For clarification, watch Hitchcock's "Rear Window", where James Stewart's character is concerned that his lover, played by Grace Kelly, cannot be sexually alluring and classically feminine and at the same time able to rough it and be the tomboy he also needs. She proves herself more than able to be the kind of woman he craves, and his eyes sparkle with happiness and love when he discovers it.
