My name is John, I'm a 45-year-old man from Chicago, standing 5'7 and 184 lbs. I'm a dedicated, determined, passionate, ambitious and creative person. I spend most of my time working or working out, not much to do behind these walls yet I love listening to music, reading, writing, drawing and most all self-educating myself . There is no use sitting around, I use all my time to better myself.

I love laughing and making others laugh. I got to have fun, and I strive to make the best out of every situation. It is important to maximize our experience and stay positive. We only live once and we have to take what life has to offer and one of the most important being that of genuine friendships. I'm looking for a woman to correspond with. I'm not trying to lock anybody down or force anyone to do time with me. Selfishness is not in my DNA. We all got enough problems of our own, no sense in adding someone else to the mix. I'm just trying to find someone who is capable of holding a decent conversation.

I believe that a man with an unrealistic expectation is prone to let realistic opportunities pass him by. So, I have no outrageous expectations with this. I don't need to lie or be lied to. I'm just trying to find a friend who will appreciate me for the man I am and we can take it from there. Although I am physically trapped behind these walls, I recognize my reality for what it is, but I do my best to escape this bleak environment through my creativity. I'm open minded and only looking for someone to learn, feel and have fun with. I'm also open to sharing my experience with anyone who is interested. I hope you decide to contact me; I look forward to hearing from you.
