Trying to describe yourself in this kind of environment is difficult at best. I'm a normal person who happens to be gay. I don't get wrapped up in the "gay lifestyle" or identify myself first as being gay. Rather, it's simply one room in the house that is me.

I hold my family and friends close and dear to me, believe in monogamy and moral values. I'm not a religious zealot, although I am religious in a very private way. I respect other religions and philosophies. I think you can learn from everyone else something. I'm not into drugs or a free-willing lifestyle. I have a career that I enjoy and am financially and personally grounded. I have goals and dreams like everyone else.

I'm honest, sometimes to a fault, and have never really gotten into the game playing thing. I take things one day at a time and try to find the best in people that I meet along the way. I'm just a genuine honest person who happens to be gay. No ulterior motives or games, just me. It's hard to explain yourself in these boxes! I can be comfortable in shorts or jeans or a coat and tie. I can fit into just about any environment when needed, but prefer the casual laid back smaller group environments.

In a soul mate, I want a true partner. By that, I mean someone to share in my life and let me share in his. A relationship is a 2 way street, with give and take on both sides. That's the first thing. Someone to support me when I'm down, laugh with me on a good day and cry when needed. And, someone to allow me to do the same thing. It has to be a partnership. He has to be able to be my best friend and accept me for all my faults, as I will accept him likewise. Secondly, I don't want him to be defined by his sexuality. Being gay is fine, but your life shouldn't revolve around it. It should be part of who he is, not WHO he is. He needs to be masculine and independent. He should have goals and dreams. I don't care if he has a degree in nuclear physics or such, but that he has aspirations beyond just today. Goals are important. He has to be financially stable. I'm not looking to support anyone. He also has to be an independent personality. Someone who wants to be with me and also can give me ... as needed.... Co-dependency is a big turnoff. He needs to be true to himself and his beliefs and be willing to stand up for them. I respect that and want that in a partner.
