As I am not a man who chases pipe dreams, I set goals without limits; and for most of my life i have achieved every goal i have set for myself. Starting way back when i was hit by that truck at 5 yrs old by a hit and run driver where as he left me for dead and left me in a full body cast from head to toe for six month's starring at the ceiling until they cut me out of that prison that encased me. Only to find out I couldn't walk and had to learn how to crawl again to learn how to walk. Then over 35 more times with life and death experiences but more like 50 I just stopped counting and look back and laugh at it. And my mother thought I'd never be normal again because the x-rays in pointing out my lower spine is zig zagged, but to everyone's surprise I have been able to achieve taking all state in Jr. Varsity Football & Gymnastics, have a Professional Record of 26-14-2 losses in Martial Arts with 2 Black Belts accredited to my name, a full Scholarship given to me before my senior year in High School to any college, a member of the US Navy and Special Forces which I also taught hand to hand combat and took part in recon operations. As there was one mission which I received the Humanitarian Metal of Honor for rescuing a group of children and took a bullet in took a bullet in the process. And for a short spell I was an Honor Guard for President Reagan of the US. When I gave up my Scholarship to join the military it was a turning point in my life as I look back and wonder where I would be today if I had chosen to go the other way. As I am not one to dwell on the past as what is done is done. I was the one who made the choices I did and accept the outcome. One thing you can't put a price on is while serving in the Navy and being fortunate enough to have made two world tours and virtually been to just about every place on this earth where as the US is allowed to go to. But being able to see 3rd world countries and seeing how they live has taken apart in molding me into the man I am today. weather that be good, bad or indifferent. i know myself and love who i am as i promote good things with a sense of honor and dignity. As I was brought up to respect my elders and display good morals and mannerisms. After two relationships with one woman cheating on me after 3 yrs and I was fathering her 2 little boys with one of them being autistic and yet another relationship with a ready made family of 3. Ages 3,6, and 9 2 girls and a boy and later had a child of my own with this woman only for her to wake up one morning and she tells me you've done your part and to go on with my life and when I came home from work and she was gone. So now I'm at a cross roads once again and in uncharted territories where as I'm 59 and trapped in the body of a 30 yr old Male due to my athletic abilities through martial arts in which I still exercise. But today's dating scene is a little different. The game hasn't changed the players have. As the people have different Morales and outlooks on life such as it is today. Back in the day there was chivery among men and today with a lot of man it's wham bam thank-you-ma'am. There seems to be no self respect or dignity among men or women. As I am looking for and intelligent, vibrant, romantic and passionate woman where as the bedroom is concerned. As I make love as though it was an art. Which is what I do now, Art. That is with the time i know have on my plate since my ex walked out of my life. I do as a hobby and like to think I'm at a professional level as i have been told my portraits are phenomenal. That's always nice to hear, and hopefully With over 200 portraits I've created I'll be able to display in an art gallery while giving and selling some of course. I do hope this helps you in determining I might be someone your looking for. Robert
