My name is Shane. I'm 26 years old. I'm a prior service Army soldier from FL, born and raised. Unlike most men these days, my parents taught me to respect women and my military duties shaped me into the man I am today. Though a leader in the military, I live a quiet, introverted lifestyle. I'm hoping to meet a nice woman someday, with whom I can share some of my passions. I would like to find someone who is into camping and she'd better like being outdoors, because every summer, I enjoy continuing my favorite pastimes; fishing, four wheeling, hiking. Brings back good memories of fishing with dad and brothers or hiking the hills behind our house when we lived in Maine.
The things I want most in life is to have a family and a good career. I would like to get back in the military if I can, but currently I am getting things worked out to go to the police academy. I have never been in any serious trouble with the law thank god. One day, I would very much like to work for a Federal Agency like the FBI or US Marshals. Time will tell with that one.
I was raised in a pretty tight nit family. We take care of each other as best as we can. Whenever one of us needs help or one of us is in trouble we try to help them out. Just like we do for really close friends. I was raised with manors and to treat people the way that I want to be treated. Even if those other people do not treat me in the same manor. I'm the kind of guy that will stop and help someone stranded on the side of the road, providing I am able to do so.
At heart, I am very much a romantic at heart. I like walks on the beach to talk, candle lit dinners, picnics on Sundays and even cuddling on the couch to watch a movie. I can be a bit clumsy which is fine by me because I will even laugh at myself. Every day I try to live by 7 values I learned over and over in the military. Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage. Believe me when I say those have really helped me to become a better person.
A little more about what I like, well I love music, art and sports. I have been drawing since the sixth grade and I am fairly good at it. If I can draw peoples portraits, that has to count for something right? Music, well I listen to just about everything accept for mexican, polka, opera, techno and pop music. Most of the time you will catch me listening to country or hip hop. Generally I like music that I can relate to in one way or another or something that just has a good beat that I can actually understand. Football and mixed martial arts are my favorite sports but I will play just about any sport.
Anything that gives me a good work out and lets me have fun is great to me. I also enjoy paint ball and go kart racing. So if you like any of these activities we could get alone pretty well. Maybe we can even spend a day at Grand Prix in Tampa. Other activities I enjoy are relaxing at the beach or watching a movie. I like kicking back and having a few beers with close friends and loved ones around a bonfire.
I love learning about just about anything I can learn. History was one of my favorite subjects in school, especially military history. Over all I am a pretty easy person to get along with and a good person at heart. I do not play games, cheat, lead people on or use them. Anything that I want, I go out and earn it for myself. So basically this is me, take it or leave it. That is all up to you, but good luck if you decide I am not the right one. Even if I may not be, couldn't hurt to make a new friend though, right? It's in your court now.
