I'm an animal lover, total foodie, healthy lifestyle, no nonsense fun loving laid back kind of guy. I don't sweat the small stuff.I'm a sucker for a good glass of wine, foods of all kinds, bistro type environment (no franchises), and stump town coffee.I have a very kinetic job, which I love, and have been very successful at. It keeps me very busy, but unfortunately very lonely sometimes. I work hard, but don't play hard enough. I am looking for a HWP fit /healthy woman to join me.I've been accused of being very direct, which indeed I am. I don't beat around the bush. I just lay it all out. Some people say it's being****. I say it's being confident.I'm the consummate gentleman, because it's how I was raised. It's the thing to do, not because it impresses people, but because it's what men do. Boys pretend...I don't try to impress people. I try to be honest to myself and just be who I am. I don't expect handouts, I take care of my business, I don't subscribe to the need to have fancy stuff to present a status to someone who doesn't even know me. I buy what I want, when I want, because I want it and need it...I can read anything...but prefer books that have some semblance of historical meaning. Otherwise, they better be believable....Dan Brown, DeSilva, Clive Cussler.Any and all music works for me,But love alternative. The mood and location dictates the music. Nothing like a fancy dinner listening to a jazz or blues trip...St Germain Just to name one...
