Hi, my name is Greg.

I'm a real, living breathing man, looking for the same in a woman.

If you are hoping to meet a good man, in person, it's worth your time to read more. Even if I don't think we're a match, I'll treat you with respect and, most importantly, I'll be honest. I won't lead you on; I don't want your money, and I'm not here to harvest your data.

I'm looking for the love of my life. It could be you. These dating sites aren't magic; as with anything of value, you'll get out what you put in.

I'm smart, and motivated. I have a good sense of humor, and I'm pleasant to be around.

I want a full partner, for the rest of my life. If you're the one, then I'm ALL IN.

I have my own business, a nice home, several cars, and zero debt. I don't want your money or your stuff. I have a farm I can't keep up by myself, so I need you to be an able-bodied woman who likes living in the country, and wants to share the work on a homestead. I'm not rich, but I do well enough. You can work outside the home if you want, but we won't need your income.

I hope you enjoy good conversation. I'm a reader, so I've always got interesting things to talk about. I enjoy music and movies, board games and card games, walking in the evening, and drinking a beer or two in the hot tub before bedtime.

I like to sing. You don't have to be a singer too but, if you are, it will be so much fun to harmonize around a campfire while we share a blanket under the stars.

We don't have to see eye to eye on everything, but we should at least see the world somewhat the same, if we expect this to work.

My honor is very important to me. If I give you my word, you may rely on it. I will expect the same from you.

I believe in personal freedom. If you are a leftist who believes we should all be required to do... whatever, for some reason, please do us both a favor and swipe left.

My sense of humor is not politically correct. If you can appreciate jokes without being offended, we'll get along great.

If you've had the Jab, or ever plan to have it, please swipe left. If you think anyone should ever be required to have it, please stop reading now, and kindly set yourself on fire. Maybe I should have led with this one? If so, I'm sorry for wasting your time.

If you live ten thousand miles from me, but you're willing to relocate and live with me in Tennessee, that might work. But if you live fifty miles away and have a job or something else you're not willing to leave, it's not going to work.

I love dogs, as long as they are not yappers or ankle biters. I might tolerate a cat, but I don't prefer them. If you're going to insist on having more than one cat, we probably won't get along.

If you have kids still living at home, and you're also willing to relocate-- we'll just have to see, won't we? It's not necessarily a deal breaker.

If you smoke cigarettes, I have to ask-- why? Tobacco, by itself, is not bad for you, but tobacco companies poison cigarettes with chemicals, and you pay exorbitant taxes for the privilege of hurting yourself. Have you no self-respect? If you want to grow your own tobacco and roll your own cigarettes, I'll respect that.

There's a lot more I could say, but that's enough to get us started. If you're still reading, it's time to talk. I have some very simple ground rules-- I will not give you a phone number, email address, or hangout ID, until I have either met you in person, or at least done a video call. If you ask, I'll know you haven't read my profile, and I'll figure you're a scam/bot.

If we're far apart, a video call will help give us both confidence in who we're talking to. I subscribe to a service that let's me quickly spin up a private area for chat and video. It's free to you as my guest, and you can use any browser, I only need to send you a link. I can't use it to track you (or you me), so it keeps us both anonymous until we're ready to take the next step, which will hopefully be lunch or dinner in a public place.

What are you waiting for? I promise I won't think you're forward if you message me first :-)
