I once told my father that it seems like I always like women that, like guys that treat them bad! I complained too him that it seemed to me that "Good Guys!" always finish last. He then said to me, "At least when they finish, they are still "Good Guys!". So that's the thing, I have live by. 40 years old, no baby's mamas, takes a lot of effort! Seriously, I am not looking for perfection at all! Attractive, funny, intelligent, independent minded, is all I ask! Cooking, cleaning, housework, and etc., really I've got that covered! Not looking to date my mother, but she did raise me well enough to take care of those things myself. I love women, but I cannot tolerate a weak woman. You must believe that we are team, that is unbreakable! And you have to be willing to protect what I value and what you value. Family and friends come first, with the emphasis being on family! I am not a weak man, and if you approach me as such, you will be disappointed. I am simply a MAN that comes home to you everyday and appreciates the kindness and love that a woman can bring. If you give me this, then I will do anything in my power and ability to return it in kind! Love and Respect is all that I desire. When a "Man" walks with a lady, He should be with her. One thing that bothers me is to see a "Man" walking in front of his "Lady"! It really upsets me and I always wonder to myself, why are these people are together. I am not looking to date my mother (Women older than me!), I am also not looking for someone that is 20 years younger than, me! If you could be my daughter, I am not interested. I am not a pedophile! Basically, I am looking for a partner. In "Crime", sometimes! The one that makes life interesting, and keep me honest and accountable. Someone to have fun with and that is entertaining, and keeps me guessing. Really, I like the chase! But most importantly, I like women that know that they are "Strong". Women who know who they are and what's important to protect! If you are just looking for someone to be your baby's daddy. I am not the guy! But if you are looking for a man, to respect, love and treat you like someone he cannot live without. I am your man, as long as you treat me the same.
