Hi, Do you mind being treated like a lady? I believe my mama raised me right, and that i raised my son likewise. There are true gentlemen left in the world they just don't seek the limelight. I am a florida boy that finds himself in socal working for the next few years or longer as a construction manager. I am divorced and my 23 year old son is holding down the fort in Florida. I enjoy meeting people and can't recall making any enemies. I am an explorer of life and enjoy new things, places, and people. Though i am myself conservative i am tolerant and inquisitive of other points of view. Deeply patriotic and totally loyal to my friends, the problem i face is all my friends are in florida and being lonely isn't my cup of tea. I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but i do not fear it. if you've read this far, maybe i've gotten your attention. I think if you really want to know someone you'll take the time to find out and anyone that wouldn't read this far just wouldn't get me. I am an ex-smoking (20years ago), social drinking, real man who isn't afraid to talk to strangers (they can be the most interesting). I enjoy doing most anything with the right person, and am capable of doing most everything, former mountain man who has slept in the snow in the rockies, herded cattle from the back of a horse, swam (swum?) with alligators, and been to the symphony (that big drum is so cool). I have no expectations of how life is supposed to be, i only know that it can be whatever you are willing to make it. The only thing i offer is the opportunity. thanks for listening (it's important). the facts are i am nearly 50 and still don't feel i've hit my peak, at just under 6 feet tall and 250pounds of mostly muscle, i still have hair, energy, manners, propriety, a sense of humor, and a desire to be someone special to someone special
