A'salamualaykum & thank you for taking the time
to come here in order to satisfy your small curiosity in me.
I do hope that you find the information which I have placed here, to be both convenient, & useful to you in making up your mind as to whether or not you deem me worthy enough of any more of your valuable time. I do hope that you can both enjoy & appreciate what you find here about me, as I am very eager to begin to learn more & more about you. Thank you for your consideration, enjoy.

Im not a liar.
Im not a cheater.
Im not here for Sex.
Im not here for fun either.
My intentions are sound.

I have lived through enough to be able to understand what the greatest things in life are truly made of, & they are not material. Yet they do have substance. Among'st them are integrity, morality, modesty, & selflessness, to name a few. These are traits you cannot fake, you cannot buy them in the store or imitate them from watching television. They are gifts, God given & you either have them or you do not...

I will try to sum things up best I can, & while doing so, I promise to be honest with you. I am not going to make you spend the next few moments of your life listening to the same'ol tired routine of some @sswipe writing down everything he thinks you want to hear, fluffing himself up with attributes from a fairy tale & doing whatever else he can in order to blow enough smoke so far up your butt that you start to think your underwear have caught fire. Thats not me. Im not going to waste your time or mine by insulting your intellect. This is my 1st act towards you in order to keep your attention & earn your trust, because those are the foundations of any lasting relationship, & thats what I am here to find. All I ask for in return, is that you appreciate this respectful courtesy which I am extending towards you, & that you please extend to me the same courtesy.

Now, before you read any further, the next fact that needs to be made abundantly clear is that I am nowhere close to perfect, not by anyone's standards. I am not wealthy (far from it) & I struggle through this life just like you & everyone else out there, if not more so. I am not skinny, or obese, nor am I the muscular & athletic type. I am however, a big, strong, healthy, loyal & very protective Alpha Male & Father. I am an honest person, understanding, patient & realistic. I am not controlling, abusive, or insecure, nor do I have a jealous bone in my body. I am highly emphatic & am ever aware & care very much about the effect I have on the people that are around me in any given place & at any given time. I am not thoughtless or insensitive. I detest rudeness & despise bullying of any kind, be it physical, intellectual, emotional, whatever, I wont have it & will not allow it to take place in my presence. I am a bit old-fashioned & I tend to romanticize the world, life & everything it has to offer, from the best of it, to the worst. To me it all has meaning & offers opportunity for learning & growth.
I do not believe in coincidences, accidents, chaos or chance, I believe in One God & I know he does not make mistakes, so therefore he would be contradicting himself if he were to allow them.

& If it's not crazy, mad, passionate, extraordinary love, then it is a waste of time. I have enough mediocre things in my life already & I refuse to allow love to be reduced down to just one more mediocrity.

I am in search of a woman who knows exactly whom she is. Someone who has struggled through her entire life, in order to be able to hold onto her true identity, her God given individuality, in order to be able to accept the person she sees staring back at her when ever she looks in a mirror. A person who can realistically accept herself for all that she is, both good & bad. Someone who accepts responsibility for her own actions & choices in life. Someone with empathy, patience & understanding. Morality, modesty & selflessness. Some one who loves for the sake of others & not merely for the sake of herself. I don't care what you have done,or haven't done (I haven't done much myself) I am no one of any particular importance, but I am an individual, & one of a kind. And that is pretty much all I am ever likely to be. I live my life by the examples which I set, based on the consistency of my character, & God willing, I will continue to do so until the day I die.
So, if your biggest fight has just been holding on to who you are, & not so much as what you have, then you & I already have something in common. I may not be much, but at least I am me, and I don't have to compromise my morality just to be able to blend in with everybody else out there.
All I want, all I have ever wanted all of my life, is for someone to treat me the same way I treat them. That may sound cliché, but it is true nonetheless. I am an easy man to please. The little things matter to me more than anything else, & I am a True Romantic in every sense of the word.
I am only looking for one Girl, so if you read this & see yourself staring back from between these lines, then perhaps I have already found you.

I do not smoke, drink, or do drugs. That does not mean that I judge either. I just dont partake. I dont mind what you smoke, or if you drink. Everything best when done in moderation. But I will say this, I am not interested in competeing with any substances that a person chooses over & loves more than me or anything else in their life. But if you do have a problem with something, that is not a dealbreaker either. Times are tough, & we are all hung up on something, in one way or another. Im here for you, & always will be.

I am not a sports fan, sorry. I just can't seem to be able to give a crap about any of them in any way whatsoever. (I remember a time when a woman would be relived to hear that.)
However, I can be talked into attending a game every so often, I just wont pay any attention to it.
If you have kid's that are on teams, I will be as supportive & as involved as I can be.
I enjoy literature & I like to do a little writing myself from time to time.
I am handy, & I prefer to fix things myself.
I Can't dance.
I like to cook & can cook.
Im a neat person & I tend to keep things tidy. I have
3 cat's. That may sound a bit excessive, but how many pairs of shoes do YOU own? They are very special to me & their sense of dignity and independent personalities are a nice compliment to that of my own.
I'm not a selfish man, in bed or out.
I'm not impulsive & I don't jump to conclusions.

I a Muslim. I saved this for last because 90% people out there have a habit of lumping someone in with everyone else they have experienced in life. I can assure you, you have not experienced me.
Hopefully by now, after all of this, you can admit that I stand nowhere close to any of the other carbon copied behaviorisms that you have endured. I'm not some fanatic, chauvinist, controlling *******, I did not raise myself that way. I am a rational, open minded non-judgemental individual. I am Muslim because of my own ability of subjective thought & by my own
choice. Not because of influence, heredity, or culture. No one talked me into this.This isn't just something I believe in, it is something I am convinced of.
I wasn't born into a Muslim lifestyle. I have no Muslim family members, or friends. That means, I am not doing this to impress mommy, daddy or anyone else.(Trust me, none of them like it one bit) This is for me, it is something dear to me, & it makes me feel better about you, myself, & everyone else out there. I am a man who would rather follow rules & morality more than just his own selfish impulses, un-like most of the inconsiderate lil sh¡ts you've come across throughout your travels. I am more focused, more disciplined, & a much better human being than I ever dreamed I could be. And being human is all I have every really wanted to be. And because of that,
I love being Muslim. It is the most important thing in the world to me, and InshaAllah that will never change.
