I enjoy a good challenge and I don't back down from many, whether it is attaining some sort of goal or completing a difficult project. I'm not one to always take the easy road, but I definitely enjoy the journey. I believe that the good things in life are worth working for. I also believe that communication is the key to a good relationship and good relationships don't just happen; they take work and commitment. I'm caring, affectionate and open about my feelings. I appreciate a woman who is also open and affectionate. I believe I know how to treat a woman but I'm always open to suggestions, communication is the key. I'm definitely a "glass half full" type of guy and I'm intelligent, have a quick wit and a good sense of humor. I usually find something positive or humorous in every situation. I'm pretty easy going too, but I can also be very passionate about things that are important do me. I have a lot of energy and if I didn't know better, I wouldn't believe that I'm 51 years old I'm a motivated, physically and emotionally fit guy with a stable career, good income and good benefits. I'm very active and enjoy a lot of outdoor activities as well things like riding motorcycle, flying, etc. I'm in better physical shape than most guys my age and I'm told quite often that I don't look my age. I have a full head of hair, even though it's getting a little gray around the edges. I enjoy traveling and have been to Hawaii, the Caribbean, Mexico, Canada and many of the western states. I really like the Rocky Mountains and places like Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Northern New Mexico, etc. I also like to get away somewhere warm during the winter. All these “adventure” stuff is great, but I also enjoy spending time with family(my mum) and friends. Although I don't have any kids of my own, I do have considerable “parenting” experience (I can explain later) and I understand the commitment, challenges and rewards that go along with raising children.
