LOL Mellow? Experienced? Not to much fazes me. I just go with the flow and don`t like paddling upstream. Content being single, a lady would be a plus? I can be had, but it might not be easy?

Just real laid back and content, no hurry to disturb that action! Don`t have any great needs, wants, or desires. LOL go figure on some of my matches?

Open, honest, and faithful, not into games, not a player. You might not care for some of my answers, but they will be honest ones. I can no longer do what most people can,and I am cool with that, laughing is better than worrying about "stuff".

What am I looking for? 2 strikes at the marriage game, no hurry to strike out. Marriage? Just a word? It`s what`s in your head and heart that counts. To me a commitment is a commitment, doesn`t need a label.

The best looking lady on the planet? with a body that won`t quit? That will love, honor, and especially obey? LMAO ya get real? Really don`t know, obviously I haven`t found it yet?

Make me an offer? a few kinks won`t hurt? I can be very agreeable? Really looking for a long term relationship with freedom from stress, hassles, and unhappy people. Label it what you want.

The drugs deal? Alcohol? 420 friendly and a beer or other drink once in a great while, not opposed to either, they just don`t run my life. I can be good without either.

Age? can you act it? Not looking for a 50 going on 20 year old. Some mature and are content at different ages, cool with that. some wiggle room. Be happy don`t drive me crazy is the deal.

I can support myself, have my own home, car, most if not all of what I will ever need or want, show you have made an effort to get there. I am not a sugar daddy, daddy, or a crutch for bad decisions.

A fiscal conservative, and somewhat of a social liberal, everyone has their own thing, why make rules for them and then complain when some one makes rules for you.

Chillin, the peace out thing, 58 worked long and hard, retired now and I need to do a lot more to be happy? In your dreams!

If I get up and see the grass from the top? it`s a great day! Don`t worry! Be happy! If your not? please leave my space?

Got my own little park like yard, 4+ acres in the country, green acres is the place for me? Where I want to be? Back yard cook outs, bonfires in the evening, family and friends, and my dog. I need to do more?

I would like to move a bit farther south, the snow and ice deal, when you dance when you walk on dry ground it sounds like a good plan. LOL I would volunteer to go to Tennessee? Don`t know anybody there, don`t care, I make friends easily.

My play list (music) sort of all over the place

http://www.playlist.com/searchbeta/tracks#heard%20it%20in%20a%20love%20song

Being happy! disabled to a degree now so a lot of things I did in the past are not a good plan?

Interests?
Family
kids, no I have enough thank you! nice to talk with others though.
Auto repair, anything mechanical.
Home repair
Bass fishing or others.
Talking!
Friends
Women, still can`t figure them out, a guy thing?

I`m easy?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to get along with!

I tell it like I see it.

Don`t have a lot of use for Richards? irresponsible people, dishonest people, unfaithful people.

Easy going, mellow, but not stupid, if you are? Keep your distance.

[Books? Sci-fi, mystery, adventure, not really something I have done recently, but a 12 grade reading level in 7th grade.]

[Music? Classic rock-n-roll is #1 but a mix that can go anywhere but rap and urban noise.]

[Food? LOL one ex didn`t like green peppers. the other ex onions. I ate them both, take that anyway you want to. Set it in front of me? I might eat it.LOL]

[Nice melons and whipped cream.]

My previous answers may have appeared flippant so a change to a more serious set.

My kids, they didn`t ask to be here, a decision by me and a partner to create them, it`s only logical for one of us to put aside our own wants, needs, desires, and be around for them? Tough love though babies, at some point you have to grow up.

Coffee, not really down with alcohol, pop-aka soda, fruit juices are cool though.

Smokes, ya my bad.

Freedom? I don`t cheat, lie, or steal. A little space is nice though, a little room to explore the inner workings of my own mind. I do have interests, hobbies, none harmful, none dishonest, just a little freedom from grief or negative comments over them from some one that will do or can do nothing constructive with their spare time.

Peace

Happiness

Again my answers may have appeared flippant, not really my intent.

How difficult this is? Finding a match on line? or in the real world? Do you ever really know a person? All that glitters is not gold? Where do you look to strike gold? Is it really worth the effort? Have we become so shallow and self centered that we must have gold?

Is the personal cost, freedom, contentment, relative happiness worth the sacrifice? the commitment? of the search for a golden partner? Just the thoughts of perhaps a "quirky" older man in search of the unknown?

Wow, too much time on my hands? People and questions have me thinking? Maybe I am more complex than I thought, or is it sensitivity?

I know who I am, what I am, my limitations, I am a realist and I try to be logical, and I have a basic idea of what I am looking for. All women are probably beautiful in their own way, and beauty alone isn`t the be all, end all for me. I consider myself average at best.

I can talk to people, years of dealing with the public at work, and 36 years of trying to steer my kids and their friends down the right path in life, has it always worked? if only life were that easy, and I have made my own mistakes in life, the school of hard knocks? I am reasonably sure if you asked one of my kids, or their friends they would say I gave good sound advice.

I graduated from high school a month and a half or so before my 18th birthday, and almost immediately started dating a lady (28) that I met at a party. She was a student at the Cleveland Institute Of Art, articulate, intelligent, creative, mellow and a great sense of humor. Certainly not a raving beauty, average at best. We clicked, we spent most of our free time together, never had a disagreement and had a lot of the same interests. We dated for about 1 1/2 years, I ended it, as gently as I could, peer pressure, oh you brought mom to the party? you took mom to the movies, dinner ect, and meeting the parents of your love, and her sisters are there? One a classmate and one a year behind? awkward? Especially when they start calling asking you what you are doing dating there older sister? A mistake? who knows, but memories. Age doesn`t scare me any more.

quarks, quasars, quantum mechanics, if you know 3 of the flavors of quarks? you got a 50/50 chance of scoring! LOL don`t cheat!

LOL wimmins? getting a little kinky? doesn`t mean it`s anything more than an abstract, or that I am in a hurry to go there!

Family and kids, it`s a tougher deal for all these days.

Not into the bar scene at all, been there done that a couple of times in my life when I was single, really no desire or need to do it again. Yes I partied, and hard, those days are over.

Home, it`s just another day, I am retired, every day can be a Friday if I needed it. Most of what I need or wanted in life is right here, a park like yard, pool, I can shoot here if I want, bonfires, cookouts, just a little room to roam, why ask for more? If a lady happens to find me here? and can deal with me and peace? great! Not really going out of my way to look for them.

Private stuff, is private, a time and place for everything, this isn`t it. I likes wimmins? but one at a time.

I am kind of old school, tats, body piercings don`t do much for me, the classic single piercing in each ear is enough. If your not happy with your own body? painting or piercing it up like a carny act isn`t going to attract me. I have none.

I answered a lot of questions, and intend to answer them all. Most are more or less meaningless to me, I value faithfulness and honesty above all else. It can be tough to get me to commit to anything other than friendship. I don`t take commitments lightly, or marriage vows, say what you mean and mean what you say.

If you don`t think I am any crazier than you, be fair, admit you might be.

You can hold a conversation without American Idol or Survivor as the topic, no I don`t watch them, and will not.

You aren`t up tight sexually, doesn`t mean it will go there, but play might be fun?

We need to talk, from a distance before a meet, if you get too close to fast you might be trying to tie me up! LOL or take advantage of my good nature!

No fear, just a slow starter, I have the rest of my life to find love, and have my dog for now. LOL he is just as mellow as me! go figure!

I don`t want to change you! or have you attempt to change me! I want you to be happy, me to be happy, and a team.

Pulling in different directions isn`t a team, know where your head is at, I will let you know where mine is. Too much work and I lay down.
