I am a people person and I especially love women. Women of most shapes, colors, backgrounds and creeds. I love the way they think (it's so different from most men), smell, feel and how they react to positive stimulus, and their willingness nurture and teach. I spent 22 1/2 years in the U.S. Navy and retired in 2003. I have traveled the world several times over and have experienced women from many countries, cultures, and races and have learned a great deal from each and every one of them. These women have so enriched my life that I consider myself truly blessed and ever so grateful for their unselfish manner and to be treated very well and teach me the things that I needed to get to where I am today. My life is an open book. If you want to know something about me, all you have to do is ask. BUT, be careful what you ask because you may not like the answer. I am considered by many to be honest and sometimes brutally honest. This is perhaps my weak spot but, I believe if a person has the curiosity, drive, or thirst for truth, then I will give it to them. So, I always warn people to not ask a question that you do not really want an honest answer to. Because with me, that is exactly what you will get. Sometimes, my responses are lightly sugarcoated(but, only lightly) to spare some ones feelings and not alienate them. At any rate, I hope to make many friends here, and have long and enduring friendships. I am not now nor do expect to be looking for a long term relationship. Except, of course, for friends. And perhaps some of those friends will be a little more than friends but they will remain as good friends and should not expect to go further than that. I must add that I have a deep seated need for touch and closeness. I love to cuddle up and watch a good movie and just enjoy the touch and feel of a woman's body next to mine. I would also add that I love giving massages. I feel it brings me closer to the lady I am with. These are FULL body massages and are designed to not only relax sore and tired muscles but to stimulate and excite my friend in ways that they may not be familiar with. It is great fun, exciting, stimulating and relaxing, all at the same time. Maybe you would like to experience one of these special massages? You never know, it could happen. LOL
