Searching for platonic friends, casual friends, and companionship, but mainly to engage in a mutually beneficial relationship/friendship, a REAL best friend, if you will. I am a single, laid back, shy, very open minded, kind, and gentle man. I have a good sense of humor and a caring nature. I enjoy a family atmosphere and adore children. I don't drink, but I do smoke. I'm NOT perfect in any sense of the word. I'm more of a fixer upper I'm into science, technology, computers (Linux, web development, PHP, MySQL), swimming, fishing, camping, hiking, gold prospecting (yes, there is gold to be found in VA), and more ... I enjoy all types of music but listen to top 40 and 70's-80's most often. I'm also a contributing member of communities for the underprivileged and displaced persons. I've even went as far as to take in a couple of displaced families in the past and helped them get back on their feet. On the mushy side, I am a Virgo-en, compatible matches for a Virgo include Scorpio, Taurus and Cancer, but the best match for Virgo is Capricorn. But who knows, they say opposites attract. I know the opposing polarity on magnets do. Not N2 drama or head games. If you're mental, fine, but you must take your meds on time. I believe friends should be able to work through their problems and conflicts or they don't need to be friends. Pet peeves: mean people, snobs, slow drivers, posting "any real men" if you know men that aren't real I think they make a pill for that, head games, people who are so naive to think that YOU waisting THEIR time. If you have made it this far you've probably guessed, I'm a kid a heart. I can even be down right silly @ times. But, that's just me ... If you want to know more, just ask! I don't bite ... hard. Love you all! -Troy What I'm Looking For I'm just looking for good friends and companionship mostly. I am very generous with my friends. Want to hang up that self destructive lifestyle and start over? If you'd like a shared living situation, that would also be acceptable. Asians and Latinos are a plus! No married women. Single Moms are cool ;)
