I am a Christian who is drug-free, disease-free (may need to hit the gym more), alcohol-free, smoke-free, baby-mama-free, prison-free, debt-free, etc. I was raised to follow good Southern gentlemen-like mores and common courtesy. Even though these following concepts could be lost in modern times, I still believe in: male chivalry, being responsible to your family, and treating women with respect. I am an affectionate person; however, I also believe in abstinence before marriage and I am not interested in any inappropriate encounters. I have a desire to help others, those who are less fortunate, and making ways for those to have hope for the future -- with the same encouragement and wisdom that I received for others. ------------ I am personally attracted to black, darker-skinned women who are plus-sized but not unhealthy. This is a preference, not a requirement. I prefer someone who is intelligent, charitable, kind and traditionally-minded. I enjoy educated and thought-provoking conversations with friendly people with an open mind. I would like someone who is a Christian AND virtuous. It is good to have a sincere and challenging talk about the Bible, salvation, religion and enriching experiences.
