Joe

I am old fashioned guy who believes women should be treated with dignity and respect. And I believe that men and women are equals and as such there should be mutual respect shown. I wasn't always like that, I was brought up that men were men and were not suppose to show emotion and definitely didn't share their problems with a woman. My God that would be a sign of weakness and men are fixers and conqueror of all things. As I grew older I realized that all that was probably the reason for so many divorces in this country. Men should be equal partners with their women, he should trust her and share all with her as he would want her to do with him. Another trait I learned is to listen, just not hear but truly listen and not be so anxious to fix everything. Some-times a woman just wants to know that she was heard and is supported. A hard lesson to learn and a lot of guys just don't get it. I'm very diverse and enjoy doing many things. I enjoy sports, reading, horseback riding, cooking and I do a lot of charity work. I enjoy helping others, it's giving back and being thankful for what I have. My main goal now is to find that one good woman who will become my friend, life long companion and lover. I'm looking for a full time relationship and I am one guy that isn't afraid of making a commitment with the right woman.

I am looking for a mate, an equal partner, a best friend, someone I can exchange ideas, thoughts, and experiences with. Iím expressive, passionate and curious about life and all the exciting things it has to offer. I am very happy in my personal life and career. My favorite things are traveling to different places both home and abroad, spending time with great friends and family, experiencing new cultures, relaxing on the beach and watching sports. I love nature and activities like walking, tennis, bike riding and going to the gym. I strive for peace and tranquility in my surroundings. I enjoy trying new activities as well as the simple things like cooking, goofing around, gardening and just hanging with someone I really like also brings me joy. So much of life is routine so just connecting with a mate is great. The fun is in each other.
