I have blue eyes black hair 265lbs I have lost I have lost 35lbs its a work in progress I'm trying to loose weight. I am writing this in hopes that it cuts down on confusion and lost time trying to weed out the weirdo’s and idiots. First let me say that these are qualities that I find that I am looking for in a Woman. This is not to say that you are not a great girl, just one that may not fit with what I am looking for right now in my life. What I am looking to find is someone that is a compassionate, hard working, decent girl. If you have children that is great but if you are one of the girls that has to be chased and court ordered to pay to support the kids or you don't see the kids because you don't get along with the dad of your kids please move on to another add because I will never tolerate or stay with a woman that does not see her kids or has to be begged to send money to them. Second, If you have a lot of family drama please stop reading and move on because I don't need or want the problems that comes with a family that does not get along and that seems to fight all the time. I know how important family is and I don't want to be around people that want to destroy people that share the same blood. I want a girl that values her time and her relationships. At this point in my life I am looking to settle down. I want to have a relationship with one person. If I wanted something different I would have posted in a different section of Craig’s List but I choose this because I am looking for a woman and not a casual partner. I want strings attached because I want the relationship that I am in to workout. I have been in enough relationships that ended because of cheating so if you are not committed to being with just me than look in a different section because there is no excuse that will be tolerated if that were to ever happen. I will love you unconditionally but what In return is loyalty and commitment. There are enough jerks in the world without me inviting them in the front door of my house. So just be a good girl and have good intentions but not to good lol. I want to find someone that knows that romance is a part of a relationship and is willing to exert a little effort into making me feel special. That can happen in many ways but I like to just go to dinner and hold hands. I like to show a respectable amount of public affection and want to feel like I am the only man that you have eyes for. There is nothing worse than someone that is always on the lookout for someone else. I see it every time that I go out and It really bothers me. And both male and female are guilty of this. I hope that I can find someone that just has a job, any job.... I am not material seeking, I am man seeking so what you do for a living is not a concern to me. I really could care less. I tend to shy away from smokers. I don't have a set look that I find attractive, I think a woman can be attractive to some and not to others and vice-versa. The things that make someone attractive to me rarely have anything to do with looks and everything to do with what kind of person she is. I want a girl that knows that the difference between being a girl and acting like a woman. I don't want to raise another child so if you still want to drink and hang out with your buddies every night please don't waste my time because I am past the age of wanting to have that nonsense in my life. I need someone that has a purpose in life and wants to make me part of that purpose. If you give me your word on something I will believe you until you give me reason not to. If you want to play games go buy a monopoly board and a deck of cards because I will not continue in a relationship that is not productive or is counteractive to us as a couple. You want to be happy and that is what I want as well but that can't happen if someone is dishonest. You will be trusted without question and loved with conviction all I ask is for you to be respectful of my feelings and needs.

I want to love someone and be loved in return. So think about the things that I need before you respond because I don't want to waste time weeding out the girls that are not here for a real love and longevity in a relationship. Also give me a day to respond. I have a job and don't sit at the computer all day, so don't think if I don't respond that I am not interested. Just be patient. If after all this you find that I am not what you are looking for I wish you nothing but success in your search for happiness.

I know what I don't want and if it sounds like I hate women it's not that I just don't want the drama in my life. I send pictures once I get to know someone my company doesn't let us have social networks so please ask I have no problem sending pics.
