Derekmeyer, 57

I'm an optimistic person to the core. Having a lower right leg prosthetic has/is a challenge, but, I am adapting. I have owned and run a residential construction company since March 1996. I closed it 2 years ago because of injuries. I opened a new construction company with my oldest son at the beginning of this year. I'm used to being hands on. I enjoy teaching and mentoring those in construction. I'm not an angry person, but found it very difficult to accept my new limitations. My son and I are adapting. I have 5 other adult children- 2 in the Navy, 1 is a nurse, 1 is a Sr at the University of Hawaii. My final child is Sr in HS. She will attend U of Hawaii next year. My honesty about my children- they unfortunately lived through a difficult divorce. My relationship with each of them could be considered repaired and pretty good. I'm a believer that each child has their own perspective about life's events. They know that I have my perspective. They all know that I'm open to honest, raw conversation. Anything is fair game as long as we all speak respectfully. They know with me, that it is ok to have heated, open conversation.
My goal is to be an active person once I figure out my leg. During recovery I swam and lifted weights.
My wish to doing anything active. My goal is to do a triathlon with some of my kids.

What am I looking for in a partner? Any ethnicity. Any body type. You can be an introvert or extrovert. I'm a larger person. Definitely need to lose plenty of weight. My kids want me healthier so that being an active person can happen

I can meet people easily. People have called me easy going and mellow. I don't enjoy the bigger get togethers unless it's family. I function best with 1 or 2 other couples at a gathering.

Touch- I enjoy all touch. From passion to the soft touch on the shoulder. I enjoy the gentle kiss to the full on passion. I like to be a giver when it comes to passion- I enjoy trying to make the partner feel good. Experiment
