Hi there, thanks for taking a minute to read my profile. I've been told I'm pretty much just the normal "guy next door", so to speak. I am well educated, keep myself well groomed and I believe I'm pretty well rounded overall. I am fairly athletic, love to get outdoors whenever I can. I am definitely a believer in the saying "Everything that glitters is not gold!" since it pertains to so much in life. That being said, when it comes to the woman I'm searching for, I am NOT a typical "guy" looking for a size 2 Barbie, who is all boobs and no brains. I want a REAL woman, and real women (size 2 or not) may have a nice figure, BUT more importantly...real women have brains too! I try to take care of myself so nobody is embarrased to be seen with me, so in the end, I do prefer a woman who takes care of themself and is fairly fit too. Sorry, Just getting tired of meeting people who look & dress like my Mom's age. Love my Mom, but don't want to date her!!

For fun I love doing lots of things, romantic or otherwise...walks on the beach or by the lake, weekend getaways, a hidden bed & breakfast, hiking, mountain biking, or just jump in the car or on the motorcycle with no real destination! I like to tinker and work around the house, or How about letting me cook dinner for you (Yes, I do love to cook), maybe going to the movies, or just a nice evening cuddling on the couch watching DVD's. I enjoy the arts, music, etc. I'm also a musician, and I sometimes perform with a Brooks & Dunn Tribute in Reno & Vegas, and they can make me all up to look just like Ronnie Dunn. (not like these pics, this is just plain ol me!) I enjoy long drives in the foothills. I like to go and spend the day at Apple Hill. I really enjoy camping and just being in the outdoors. I enjoy checking out antique shops, craft fairs, even finding hidden treasures at Denio's every so often. I LOVE going for a relaxing motorcycle ride. I have been riding all my life. I have extra riding gear, care to fill my backseat? Maybe you ride your own cycle... great! We could ride together, side by side! I also fly ultralight airplanes for fun when the urge strikes me. Everyone tells me I am very easy going, and I try not to stress over the little things, but let's be honest, it happens to us all sometimes. I have a great sense of humor. I also love to have hot chocolate, sit next to a warm fire with my loved one next to me on a rainy or cold night (actually I love to do this on any kind of night!).

I am a HUGE romantic at heart, and plain & simple...PASSION IS A MUST! I truly LOVE to cuddle (a HUGE understatement). I love big warm hugs and long...slow.. passionate kisses. I enjoy surprising the lady in my life with my romantic side whenever possible! Simple little things between two people truly mean alot to me. I’m a very good listener and I work hard to always keep good and open communication in a relationship. I try to be very non judgemental. At this point, I'm trying this out...hopefully even find "the right one". Basically, I'm more than ready to settle down, so Yes, I do want to "eventually" get married, with the right person, if it works our that way in the end! So let's just spend time together, be open minded and see what happens!

Like to laugh? Laughter is great medicine! I'm looking for a woman who has a wonderful sense of humor, good morals & values. A woman who is kind-hearted, warm, genuine, simple, caring and loving. You love your family. You like to travel. Hopefully you enjoy taking long drives, motorcycle rides, mountain biking and enjoy taking walks. You don't mind that I have a small dog (16yrs now, he's like my child, see pic). You can enjoy someone’s company even if sometimes very little is actually said. Sometimes just being next to the right person is pretty amazing. You have strong opinions about certain things, yet you respect the fact that others might feel exactly the opposite, in equally strong ways. You respect & value diversity of thought, values & culture. You're NOT perfect, and that's GREAT, because that makes you mostly normal! :-)
There is much more to me than I can possibly fit in here, so If ANY of this sounds intriguing to you, then PLEASE drop me a line or wink, and lets have coffee, etc & talk

favorite things:
I enjoy Italian, Mexican, Chinese & some sushi. I enjoy cooking. I like Rock (Classic, oldies, 80's, etc), Motown, R&B, Blues, Country...you name it. I use to have a saying that I listen to and perform everything from "Sinatra to Skynyrd" & "Haggard to Hendrix". I like a good comedy or action movie & even the so called "chick flicks". I'm pretty open.

favorite hot spots:
Anyplace with live music and/or dancing. Starbucks, Mikunis, The Melting Pot, Elephant Bar, Thunder Valleys Buffet, (great variety!). I love to check out the restaraunts and entertainment scene around town. I'm open to just about anything! Maybe even just grab a good movie and cuddle up on the couch in front of the fire!
