jbstoke - Smiling is the second best thing to do with your lips

Thought I’d try this t’internet dating lark to see what the fuss is all about. I guess you could say I am your typical happy-go-lucky, laid back type of fella. I’m 36 years of age, medium build, fit and healthy, full head of hair, origingal teeth and I don’t think I’m a bad looking lad although you could say I am more Vinny Jones than Tom Cruise. In fact, if the light is just right and you close one eye and squint with the other I look a lot like Brad Pitt :oD
I did think about taking a few topless photo’s to show off my torso like a lot of other people on here but to be honest that isn’t me and I didn’t want to come across as a vain pratt. I do like to look good and smell good when I can but I’m more of a T-shirt and Jeans bloke and my bathroom mirror is purely for shaving in.
I do go to the gym now and again (when I can be bothered) but I don’t live there and there are other activities I’d rather be doing to keep fit. I love to go mountain biking in the Peaks and I like to walk cross-country up in the hills out in the fresh air. Im an out-doors type of person and I like to be out in wide open spaces.
At the moment I live over in Leek although I still work in Stoke and I still spend a lot of my time around Stoke. I’m a Surveyor and Estimator and I spend most of my working day on building sites in very male orientated environments. So that’s basically my excuse for not meeting enough ladies and part of my reason for coming on this site.
Im looking for an intelligent girl with a good head on her shoulders who is kind, considerate and caring. I'm a sucker for girl-next-door types and I don't really go for women with fake tans who wear 2 inches of make-up and spend all day down the spa putting it on. All I ask is that you are of sound body and mind and you have to promise not to boil my little girls pet rabbit at the first sign of a domestic.
I’m a very open minded bloke. I have a very cheeky and sarcastic sense of humour and I take most people as they come. I believe in good manners and showing others respect when it’s due and I try not to judge people on first impressions; but if someone is acting up and playing the fool I will usually step in and say something.
I have a 4 year old daughter who is my entire universe and everything within it. I believe that every little girl needs her daddy and I will always be there to provide for my little princess for as long as I am able to. If something goes wrong and she needs me, I will drop everything for her. That said I do have room in my life for someone special. My little girl does not live with me but I do have her to stay over at my place every other weekend and I take her out to tea every Wednesday night after school. Other than that, the rest of my time is my own and I am not the type of bloke who would leave you feeling left out and unwanted.
As far as hobbies go, I like to do all the typical man things like watching football, mending things (usually broken toys), general DIY (Tiling is a speciality of mine), listen to music, playing about with cars, Film and Comedy. I’m very independent and I’m the sort of bloke who likes to use their hands. I can cook, clean, iron, do a week’s shop (alone with a toddler in tow), sew, use a vacuum cleaner, wash dishes and I put the bins out every Thursday night without fail. I suppose in many ways I don’t actually need a woman ;o)
A good night out for me would be a curry in a decent restaurant with a few friends followed by a few beers around town. I’m not really into the nightclub scene these days because I don’t know the dance music anymore and although I still feel like a 20 year old, I’m quite conscious that if I step out onto the dance floor I might look like a caveman trying to stamp out a fire.
Well that’s enough tittle-tattle from me. I’ve waffled on loads but I want to know what the women on this site are about, so if I haven’t put you off yet and you want to know more then get in touch, say hello and tell me a bit about you.
