If you are in Africa, don't bother to write. If you are going to ask for money, pass me by. I only respond to responsible, solvent ladies. THIS MEANS NO SCAMMERS! I WILL NOT SEND YOU ANY MONEY! I am a Christian man and I am hoping to find a slim of face and figure (why do all the girls suddenly have such big, ungainly butts??) Christian lady to be my friend, girlfriend, wife, and lifetime lover in that exact order. I am an affectionate man, and want someone who is also affectionate. I want to kiss my future beloved goodnight, and wake up with her in my arms in the morning. I want to touch her face with my hands, caressing her cheeks, her lips... well, you get it. My daughter (of whom I've had custody since she was 6 years old) says I am the nicest, smartest, funniest, most reliable, and most affectionate person she knows. High praise from a teenager. She graduated High School as Valedictorian (class of 2000) and BIOLA University 4 years later as Magna Laude! She still has the highest grade point average in the history of her high school (begun in 1979). Am I a proud father? Yeah. I would like to find an intelligent lady with a sense of humor. A bit of sarcasm is okay, too, as long as it is in fun. I appreciate a woman that enjoys making simple meals for her family. I don't eat many sweets, so she doesn't have to be a pastry chef. Please, NO SMOKERS!!! My favorite pastimes are riding dirt bikes/quads, drag racing, and playing racquetball. I don't get to do the first two very much, though. The racquetball I do 3 times a week, and lift weights the other two. I had enough of camping in tents while in the army, so now I use a motorhome when I go riding. It is fully self-contained and makes the stay in the desert much more comfortable. I hope to find a lady that will like riding/camping, too. I also enjoy watching videos at home. I like a few TV shows such as Gotham, Big Bang Theory, Columbo, Superman, Batman, Wonderwoman, Lost in Space, Svengoolie, Star Gate, Star Wars, Star Trek, Star Star Star... oops, got carried away! I am very handy around the house and can do anything on a car (I'm currently restoring a vintage muscle car), but I can't cook to save my life. It would be nice if she were to enjoy racing and classic cars, too. It would be special to me if she would enjoy keeping me company, or even helping, when I'm working on a muscle (or hot rod) car. I love dogs, especially German Shepherds. We got a new puppy! A little German Shepherd female. She is sweet as pie and really smart. The "puppy" is huge! She is getting sweeter (and bigger) every day! I hope that sweetness is a reflection of her upbringing. That is she, kissing me in the photo. :-) My sweet doggie had several medical problems and eventually passed away from liver cancer. I miss her a lot. She was the only dog that I ever let sleep on my bed. Years have passed since writing this. I have a new doggie. He is the very symbol of joy. I got him from the pound, so his age is unknown. I think he is about 4. I'm currently working on my cars, quads, motorcycles, and motorhome. It is too hot to work outside right now, so I'm trying to get one room cleared out in order to build my weight bench.
