I Would Describe Myself As

Hi my name is Richard; I am a fifty-seven year old single black male. I stand 5’11” in height and I weigh approximately 210 pounds. I am not a bodybuilder but I have been told that for my age I have a nice physique. Of course you will have to decide that for yourself; I live and work in San Francisco. I was raised with a simple set of values that still guide me in my dealings with others. I will not cheat, steal nor lie. Nor will be associated with anyone who does. I will not do drugs of any type nor will I drink to excess nor will I associate with anyone who does. I don’t smoke, gamble to excess and one woman at a time is plenty for me. I was married for more than twenty-two years I was never unfaithful to my partner. I and my sister take care of my mother. She is not well mentally and in order for her to live independently I and my sister must live with her. I am a man in full and I don’t think I am better because I can play with others emotions. I suppose if I were a car I would be an “Oldsmobile” I may not be cute, shiny or fast. But, you know when you put the key it I will start. I have been described by my friends as; dependable, generous, and serious minded, mature, and trustworthy. I don’t disagree with any of those descriptions. But I would add more, I am above all loyal and I care about my partner, my family, my friends and the community that I live in. I am my brother’s keeper and I do not mind telling people that I do live in fear of god. (Of course they would have to ask) You can see I don’t have a lot of time to date. However, I am not so busy that I don’t. Yes, I am looking for a serious and committed relationship. I am not afraid of the “M” word but I know that for many reasons serious relationships don’t need to end in marriage. What I am saying is that sometimes things get a little hectic for me. So I am not always available. But on the flip side you will always know where I am and what I am doing. I have been divorced for two years. Up until we got divorced I had only dated my wife. So it came as a kind of a shock to learn that things are very different now. When I last dated, ladies would give me their phone numbers and I would contact them and we would talk; if we clicked we could take it from there. Now it seems that we have to exchange a bunch of e-mails and most of the time we never meet. I know that we have all got to be security conscious about giving out personal information. But, I much prefer to talk on the phone instead of exchanging a bunch of e-mails. If you feel the same way as well. I am not shy about giving out my phone number nor am I shy about calling you if you feel more comfortable if I did. You may rest assured that I handle myself as a gentleman at all times (well maybe not all times) So now that you know a little more about me the ball is in your court I hope that you will like what you have read but in any case I would love for you to reply. Thanks and I hope to talk to you shortly.

What Do You Find Attractive?

Empathy, Good Looks, Humor, Intelligence, Sensitivity, Wit

What Do You Look For?

Of course a big booty and long lovely legs and a great rack. But if a woman doesn't have all that I would settle for her being kind, considerate, moral and decent. She should show affection and not be afraid to offer her opinion on important decisions. I value my parents advise and respect her judgment so she needs to let me know how she feels about things. I am not a saint but I know that I want a partner who is faithful and who cares about others as well as herself. Of course if she also has a big booty I won't complain. (Just saying)

What Kind Of Relationship Are You Seeking?

Friend, Intimate, Committed
