Been in town for a while, looking for a friend, and serious relationship.

Besides of being dedicated to work, I love the outdoors including swimming, canoeing, or just being on the beach enjoying the oceans breeze. (I LOVE THRIFTY FUN) Some other interests would be motor sports, reading, photography, and enjoying the simple things that life has to offer. I would like to meet someone that has a good head on their shoulders, "roughly" has their life together, and is an overall good person. I like a woman that is gentle and womanly when the situation calls for it but is not afraid to kick butt and take names if that is what is needed. I guess what I am trying to say is I am looking for someone that is aware of their surroundings and can respond as needed to fit the situation. what I do not what is a woman that is too timid or sub-servant all the time. I know there will be times I may need to step down and let my wife lead if that is what is best. I have no problem with that. I do not mind pampering or taking care of my wife. I would love to treat her like the queen that she is. I think it would be cool to marry someone that is Muslim but of a different cultural background like european or south-american. meaning raising our kids in a Islamic household but also teaching them about different cultures. For example, being married to a muslim from Spain, Russia, Chile, or China. My mother would prefer that I marry someone from the same ethnic region as my family (ie Pakistan) but i would beg to differ.
