I am fourty six years old, but other than being a lot wiser and more responsible, I do not believe that my views on enjoying life and having fun have changed much. I have a fifteen year old daughter who I love more than anything. I like the usual guy-stuff, fast cars, boats, cool houses, etc.. I LOVE to cook, especially for other people. I like to host parties on occasion, so long as the house is still standing the next morning, I am happy. I like to be on the go a lot, I do not like to sit and watch too much TV. I do have a good sense of humor. I have spent considerable time living outside of the USA, so my views on the world are not exactly mainstream. I spent about four years in the Middle East during the late eighties and early nineties, spent a year in Brazil returning to the US in November two thousand one, and eighteen months in China returning to the US in July of two thousand and six. I returned this past August (two thousand and eight) from a eight month work assignment in India. I do not do drugs or smoke, however I do like to have a few drinks with friends and unlike many non-smokers I do tolerate those who choose to smoke. Actually a nice Cuban cigar is something I enjoy a few times a year. I am somewhat musically inclined, I play guitar, bass, and keyboards. I like rock, hard rock, or jazz and enjoy seeing live bands, and I like listening to almost everything except rap. My ideal match is a beautiful lady who is proud to be a woman, and not afraid to show it. I would really like it if the lady I eventually marry is interested in having a family business we can share in. I have already met my share of liars and cheaters, I am not one of these and I am not interested to meet one. I would like to meet a lady who wants to enjoy a healthy lifestyle. She should love children, and if she has one or more of her own, that is not a problem for me. I do love kids.
