You girls SAY you want an honest man, but you don't. You all are SO used to being lied to, that honesty is foreign. I'm as honest as it gets. Just don't ask my honest opinion about your dress, or hairstyle, or ANYTHING... unless you want an honest answer.

I am 44 yrs old, I'm very discerning, and I'm an intelligent man (I know, it's hard to believe... I'm starting to think I'm the last of my kind).
I'm Dominant, and often butt heads with strong personalities.
I'm very much into Martial Arts. I have been practicing martial arts/self defense for most of my life (Kung Fu, Aikido + Kendo), and it's just a part of me now.
Music is important to me, and I always have a song going on in my head. I sing (I used to sing semi-professionally) and play some instruments.
I'm very aware of my environment, more than anyone else I've met so far. Some of my friends call it my 'danger sense.'
Those close to me call me 'loyal, intense and observant.'
Friends have also described me as heroic, and protective (sometimes too protective).
I've been a leathercrafter for 20+ years, and I make custom orders only.
I have 1 son from my previous marriage, and he lives with my ex.

I live, I learn, I love.

Sometimes... (but not often)... I get bored.

I'm best at being observant, or aware, mostly reading people... interests... desires... intentions..... that sort of thing.

I'm also good at protecting (I have saved a few people from dying and/or coming to great bodily harm), and making people feel safe+secure.
massage (most people say it's due to my large hands, but it's more due to my studies of martial arts and human anatomy)
Singing.
Mixed martial arts.
I'm a good shot (consistantly 95%-99% on range tests: M-16, 88mm Mortar, pistol, rifle, archery... and pretty much everything else I've shot)
Leathercrafting.

(Update: I guess I'm good at a bunch of things. LOL)

I think the thing most people notice about me is that I notice everything around me... or maybe that I'm intense. If it's close up, most people say they notice my blue eyes.

Typical? Now just what is typical?... Particularly when discussing a day of the week!
Who knows? Every day is a new day. =)

Nothing is private. I'm willing to admit whatever.
For example: I was hit, and run over at 11 yrs old, and I almost died.
