This PROFILE has been UPDATED!!! I am a single father of a 16 year old girl who moved back to California from Hawaii. I'm not as wild and crazy as I used to be, but I still like to get a little nuts. The guys at work tell me I should be in comedy on a stage somewhere but I don't think I am that funny. I really consider myself to be shy, but when I tell people that they say I am crazy. I am honest and sincere. My daughter has changed my life and has taught me to be loving and caring about something other than myself. I am 6'1" tall, with brown hair and eyes. I have always been considered a big guy and I think I am kind of muscular. I am a pretty casual guy even though I wear a tie to work. I used to live in Hawaii so I love water sports and the ocean. I love spending time at the beach (I will bet that I am the only person on here that says that... lol). My daughter and I love to ride bikes at the beach but we end up spending more time in the sand than on the bikes. I have raised my daughter on my own so far and it has been tough the last couple of years. I have never been a teenage girl so I guess it has been a bit hard for me to relate to her lately. She is the best thing that has happened to me. A couple months ago she told me I need to start dating. Honestly, I have been so busy with her and work for the last year I haven't even thought about it. I haven't had the time lately to do a lot of the things I like. That to me is crazy! I like to have fun and share experiences with someone I care about. I am no spring chicken so I have been in relationships before. I would like to find someone that is honest and comfortable with themselves. There has to be a mutual attraction and some commonality of interests. I have come to the conclusion that I am ME. I can't be anyone else and frankly, don't want to be. I want someone that understands they are who they are and don't have the desire to be anyone else either. Being honest, I want honesty in a relationship. We tell our kids that they will get in less trouble if they tell the truth, and as we get older, it seems easier to lie to "get along." I have flaws as everyone does. If your flaw is that you have to suck the life out of a man because you didn't get enough attention from your daddy as a child, please bypass my profile. I don't need continuous accolades, but I won't spend the rest of my life proving I am a good man to someone that doesn't love me because her daddy doesn't love her. I just reread this and it sounds either dreadful or, to the point. I was going for "to the point." I won't hold you responsible for any past relationships, I promise. I am seeking communication, great conversation, intelligence, compatibility, commonality of interests... you know... everything! Happy hunting ladies. We all deserve to get equal to what we give. UPDATE:UPDATE:UPDATE: After the update above, I went to "My Matches" and only men appeared! Did I just describe myself as homosexual? I didn't mean to! What the heck did I do and how do I undo it? BTW, I have a house and a good job. I have my own cars, motorcycles, and toys and know how to fix them all. I have health insurance, and I have money in the bank. I don't want anything from you that I am not prepared to give. I guess a lot of you have been burned or turned off in the past from freeloaders... for lack of a better term..."That ain't me!" UPDATE:AGAIN!!! I appreciate all the responses I have gotten. Don't take it personal if I don't get back to you. This isn't a friend site for me. There are things I look for in a woman in their profile. If your boobs are pushed up past your chin in every picture that tells me a lot about you. I adore boobs like the next guy, but we aren't 20 anymore. If I read in your profile that you are in your 40's and you feel your best match is a man 22-33,that also tells me something. I look for fun people who know how to write a profile. Fun comes through in your pics. Good luck!
