Hey Everyone, I've decided to downside my friends and fan of sections since I can't devote the time to visit with everyone like I would like, so if you're one of those who's been removed, please forgive me. In fact, it may turn out that I'll be removing my profile altogether, time will tell.

Now that I've been here for a while, I figured it was time to update my 'about me' section. For those who didn't read it before and would still like to, I've moved 'my life story' into my blog section. My first ever blog in fact.

I want to say that I've talked with some of the truly wonderful women here. I can’t express enough how much talking with them has meant to me. However, there is one Lady in particular who’s gone well above and beyond the call of friendship to help me. I'm sure she knows who she is because I think I tell her every chance I get, and perhaps one day, I'll be worthly of her considering me FU-family, but for now, her time and counsel has meant the world to me.

I rarely notice the shout box, so I've decided to switch it off. The best way to reach me is a message. I forget to change my online status too. So I may not be here even though it says I am.

I am separated and I've given up any further hope of working our difficulties out. Technically I'm still married, but only for a while longer. I mention this only because I don't want anyone thinking I'm trying to hide anything. Should I ever make a personal attachment with anyone, I don't want them or anyone else thinking I was playing them. If you have questions ask, I'll talk about this or anything else.

I won't go into details here, but over the years, I believe I've grown a lot. Now days, I realize that it's more important to meet a woman's needs over my own. I do still have some shortcomings, but I am or will be trying to improve all the time. I've also come to realize that in a relationship, there needs to be a common shared interest. Someone who can get the same joy you do from an event. You can still have separate interest, but in the end there has to be one or two that you can talk about and share the excitement and joy. I also believe that you need to have alone time too. I believe that there's a case for separate vacations as well as shared ones.

I usually read someone's 'about me' section before I look at any photos. If I visit your page, the least I'll do is rate you a 10. I usually only rate photos of people, although there are a few of the posters or jokes I've enjoyed and rated. And if anyone rates me less than a 10, I ususally go back and rate them a 10 anyway.

I rarely add men to the Friends section unless we have something in common. For the ladies, I respect all of you and doubt that I will ever ask you to F/R. On a few occasions, I've felt enough of an attraction to ask to be friends, but as it should be, the right to refuse is always your decision. I will not ask to look at your NSFW or ask you to look at mine. Of course, I don't have any, but if I did, I wouldn't force them on you. But I also wouldn't run screaming and crying if you did allow me to look at yours. And I'm still not sure what cyber sex is, therefore I don't know how to do it, so it's a pretty safe bet that I'm not going to be asking for that either.

No one has to earn my respect, I believe respect is a birthright. However it can be lost. But you would have to really mess up to lose it. I believe we all make mistakes and forgiving is the first thing we should do. Sometimes, more than once.

If anyone is interested, I'm a hair guy (not to be confused with 'hairy guy', which I am, but that's not what I'm talking about). I'm usually drawn to a woman's hair first. I prefer straight, styled hair. But that doesn't me I'm not attracted to a woman features too, her eyes, smile, etc. and should we ever meet face to face, I'll be looking you in the eye (usually the right one for some reason). But I can't guarantee that I won't sneak a look elsewhere during a lull in the conversation. But if I've visited your page, it's usually because of one of those two reasons.

I'm disappointed that so many women here don't smile in their pictures. Most are looking all serious, mean, or tough. I wish there were more smiles out there. I also enjoy looking at photos of people out in the world and not just sitting at a monitor.

I should point out also that I really suck at the Secret Admirer game. So if you happened to pick my picture and wondered why I didn't respond and somehow find my profile later, that's usually the reason. If I manage to get it right, I will visit your page and may leave a note.

I don't expect anyone to return a 'fan' and I'm not looking for ratings (although they are nice). There are just so many of you who have similar names, photo poses, etc... and I sometimes forget I've been there before. If I've fanned your page it helps me to know I've been there before. I hope that makes sense and I hope no one is offended.

I'm retired Air Force and have been a 911 dispatcher and Security Officer. My hobbies are building models and attending Science Fiction (Star Trek) conventions (and before you think, 'uh oh, another geek who lives in his mama's basement' let me stop you right there, some of our mama's don't have basements. And guys, let me tell you that there are some super hot chicks at these things in very revealing outfits.) My other interest include UFO's and all things Metaphysical and Paranormal. I enjoy making gifts for friends during the holidays. I used to be a member of MENSA, but my membership expired in 2001 or 2002. I'm not sure if my brain did too, but if so, that would explain some bad days I've had. LOL

I have seen and done things that others only dream about, yet I'm still looking for more. I've written poetry and short stories. I'm an artist in the since that I have drawn portraits, painted pictures, built models and dioramas for friends.

I've lived in England and Korea. I've worked in Kuwait, Turkey, Egypt, Okinawa, and the Philippines. I've set foot in Germany, Hawaii, Japan, Sicily, Spain, the Azores, and Saudi Arabia.

I hope I haven’t come off as arrogant, egotistical, rude, sexist or boring. I'm sure I've been all those things at one time or another, but I don't try to be. I believe we should strive to do two things in this life. Love everyone and Serve others to the best of our abilities. If you'd like to talk with me, please feel free to do so. I've also been told that I'm a pretty good listener, so if you need to talk with someone who won't judge you, I'm up for that too. Thanks for taking the time to read all this. I hope it's given you a better idea of the type person I am. But there's still a lot of me that you haven't heard about. Have a wonderful Life. And for those of you that did read all this, here's the answer to the test question. My Favorite Aircraft is the 'F-4 Phantom II'. (okay, there's really not a test) Don
