Heart of a lion with a very old soul

I am a funny, lively, compassionate, highly accomplished, PhD-educated, professionally successful man who strongly believes that being physically and verbally expressive is an important part of romance and passion in a relationship. I have a great job, am financially stable, and am very family-oriented. I love creating or keeping up family traditions (even if they aren't my own) and being of service to those I care about. I am a bit traditional from a relationship standpoint and tend to embrace people who share and those same values. I take my relationships, my job, and my parenting very seriously, but I never take myself too seriously. I love to clown around and am the first person to crack a joke or be playful. My sense of humor ranges from Dave Chappelle to Will Ferrel and everything in between. I am a man who can work 50-60 hours a week, runs home for date night, wants to be a good role model for his kids, is romantic and passionate about family. I am also very grateful when the woman I am with appreciates me simply for being the man I am and nothing more. If you know what you want in a relationship and are willing to go for it, keep it no games and don't hesitate to say hello. If what you see here fits that description, then maybe we should talk because what you see is what you get... no games or hidden agendas.
