Hello;
Thanks for taking the time to read my hearts desire.
I am a 47 year old black male, living in Vancouver, who is gainfully employed, responsible and have a great sense of humor, love singing and I am easy to be around. I love movies. I have children, who do not reside with me, one in Victoria and the other overseas, they are apart of my life and do hope that this would not be a negative factor in making your decision.
I have learned through the years, not to be shallow and judgemental. I accept a person based on their integrity, character and word. Physicality is not the most important. I prefer a lady who is a lady, with class and self respect and able to carry on an intelligent conversation. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, not what others may say as acceptable.
We live in a plastic world and it seems that many men and woman only look for those who live and focus on their looks and body.
Beauty is found within the reflection of each other. Age is based on maturity, body type is based on how she feels about herself, sexy and attractive nationality is who she is and height and hair color, not and issue. I have tried contacting with some women and have been disappointed because some are just looking for a "sugar daddy" which I am not, or have their substance issues, which is a huge turn off for me and come across very plastic. I have just put up a posting on Craigslist to see if there is potential, other dating sites deliver nothing and just want your money.
I desire a woman who enjoys life and is also simplistic and down to earth, a woman who is REAL, not afraid to express her feelings, thoughts and values.
A woman that is NOT into playing games. I am wanting to share my time with that special someone, who accepts me as I am.
I do smoke, trying to quite. I don't drink or take drugs.
I am a positive person, full of life and risk taker. Having traveled abroad, I have learned to appreciate the value of life, not taking for granted those who impact our lives.
Far to often I have met women who live in the past, wanting a new beginning but unfortunately, let their past dictate their future. I am a strong man who is not dictated by the past but one who is willing to embrace a new opportunity.
As time goes by, both of us will get to that point where our fears will be lessened and a sense of positive anticipation will be a welcomed surprise.
Like you, being guarded has been a protective aspect due to being lied to, used and let down. Both of us don't want to have suffer in anyway because of past hurts, this is not fair or right.
I have been back from overseas close to a year now and have mainly concentrated on my responsibilities when it comes to my children. I work a lot and find it difficult to get out as to my work schedule. I just desire something real and a woman who has a good heart.
Like yourself, I have flaws made mistakes and learned from them and now desire to take that chance. I don't want to rush into things as I like taking things one day at a time. I have no expectations and I am real.
Please tell me more about yourself and if you so desire, please send me a photo
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Thank you for your interest and time and look forward to your reply.
