oh good grief!.. unfortunately my town is small enough that if you were to turn in a circle you could find my condo.. .. and if you do drop by i'll take you to the mountains and there will be a hell of a lot more interesting things to shoot then ducks.. .. and as for the 'real' man debate.. Petey my darlin' all of the men up here are real.. this is an honest to god man's man environment.. there are no sissy's in sports cars, or manicured man hands in cashmere.. Or self important Suits wanting to know where to find sushi...

Sounds like plaid shirts, pickup trucks, gun racks, and coffee with the grounds left in it.

you forgot the antlers as coat racks, chewing tobacco and football games... ..

Yeah, lest we forget a trailer with a snowmobile on it.

hmm.. not sure if i've seen that one. But, this is only the first week of -14 degree temperatures.. give it time... .. I forgot about the Carhartts and wranger wearing, calf roping cattle raising types, which is a seperate breed completely from the Valley cowboys.. all a little tricky to figure out until you live here.. and then classifying the cowboys, ranchers, urban cowboys and real ones is pretty simple and can be done at a glance of their boots... But, all the same i'd be pleased to have ya over... We can go eat deer steaks and wander up to the hotsprings or go snow walking to find Elk.. .. if you're up for it that is..

The shooting gorgeous nature & animals part sounds good, as for the men...eh, they sound slightly too macho for me. Of the other description you gave, I could feel the testosterone. I like my men a bit metrosexual.

I don't mind the rugged wood chopping type (we got them up north), but I'm afraid I'd not be able to date one for the long run. Seems there'd be too many differences. I want a liberal, somewhat travelled man. And I do have a thing for men in suits & generally well dressed. lol I also like sushi...

As long as his beauty regime isn't 3 times more complicated than mine I'm happy.heh.

You'd have loved my dad. He was a real renaissance man (painter, musician, sailor, etc.) He also designed chainsaws 'back in the day,' and had no trouble fitting in with lumberjacks and their ilk.

I'm more liberal than the generation before me.. But, I suppose at heart i'm pretty country.. and I haven't successfully dated a man with more than one of the above qualities..

Belmondo, I do like the arty type. Arty & engineering combo type seems to be my thing judging by my track record. hehe

Sari, I've dated two Alpha males. Fun while it lasted, quite macho guys, but players. Fun for flings, bad for more.

Oh come on, it's getting boring here.

We won't tell anyone.

If they could only clone me. (Wait, is that patting on my own back I hear?)

I'm such a perfect catch, if I do say so myself. I'm just average looking. (There have been pictures of me before here) I keep myself in shape and always have. I'm a gentleman. I'm married for 26 years and still open the car door for my wife. Every time.

I have great respect for women and their happiness and satisfaction is a major concern of mine. If they're not happy, neither am I.

I still make my wife breakfast in bed on the weekends and love doing it.

I've got a steady, high paying job, but plenty of time for my son and two daughters and three dogs. I'm allergic to cats.

Drawbacks? Other than the fact my hair has gone from dark brown to what some call gray. I've never been good at color management or white balance, as others swear it's going gray. Uh-uh, say I, blonde. That's what I see.

Oh yeah, I need glasses to read now.

And my wife has told me I'm starting to snore a bit.

So, who wants me?

Petey, I know you do, my wannabe metrosexual.
