Transparent Experiences

  Starting from the beginning means understanding that my journey is different from yours. Trying to obtain if I am joking, means that you really were not transparent when I met you. I was 2 years old in 1978 and enrolled at NationHouse. I participated in numerous activities when I was a student at NationHouse. At Bell, from 1991-1993, I was 14 -16. I have no clue who nominated me to participate in the completion that I participated in from 1992-1993. When I was a student, I was only attracted to boys. Boys who act like gentlemen. As an adult over the age of 30, I am only attracted to single straight male over the age of 30 who act like gentlemen. When I worked in various settings, I was only interested in the services that I provided, not dating. It is unethical for me to go on dates when employed. I have removed myself from those settings. Since 2018, I have not provided any educational, career day and free services. Better questions produce stronger answers.I have thrown away ma...

Dating Ethics

Dating co-workers in professional work settings is inappropriate. When employers hired me to provide a specific service from 1995-2018, I will always remain professional. I do not believe in dating my former co-workers of the opposite sex. I will remove myself from the setting first when I have noticed that I developed such attraction. Making a bet and bribing co-workers to go against their standards is unethical. If you have an interest in me, then you should have asked for my contact information. Numerous people do not know me at all. Contact me only by phone at 202-384-5925 Preference - single straight male over the age of 30 I no longer provide educational, career day and free services. It is not the past and I am not interested in dating women nor boys.

Love’s Foundation

    Love’s Foundation. Digital art created on canvas. December 27, 2024. Afrika Abney  Wondering how many times that I need to convey to single hetrosexual men about my attraction towards them? This question is connected to the trait determination. Determination to highlight the importance of genuine and meaningful connections that encompass passion, compassion, respect, commitment, loyalty, desires, genuine affection, appreciation and understanding. Coupled with the significance of harmony in work - life relationships which could mean different things. For instance, taking a moment to enjoy nature walks, waterfalls, and observing the animals. In each of these pleasures, I have remained determined on my path.  I do not believe in love at first sight. I believe that if it is genuine and sincere love from a partner of the opposite sex that is the foundation of love. Without that love remains unstable, unsupported and imbalanced just as the mountains of snow or the bric...

Moment of Chance

    Moment of Chance. Digital art created on canvas. December 26, 2024. Afrika Abney  I watched briefly on television a chance encounter, a television movie released in 2022. I have an extensive music background. Reluctant to give me a chance because of the lies and your own experiences, well is like building walls and bricks. I have stated numerous times that no one is perfect. Acceptance and understanding plays a crucial role, as well as establishing ground rules. 

Christmas Eve

    Quote found on the Internet It is Christmas Eve and I pray that those that celebrate Christmas prayers are answered. On this Christmas Eve, I would like my only prayer for a single hetrosexual male over the age of 30 to marry me. I believe that Christmas eve and Christmas are about genuine love, affection, showing compassion, demonstrating understanding, being trustworthy, loyal, faithful, having mutual respect and meaningful conversations without judgement, bias and prejudice. I do not want a hetrosexual husband that has no respect for himself and those that raised him to be a gentleman with standards, values, ethics, and self-expression.  I do not believe in the superficiality of Christmas eve and Christmas. I believe in the essence of gifts that come from the heart and treasured stories that have symbolism, inspiration and instill principles such as determination and purpose. Some of the movies that I watched in the past on Christmas Eve include Frosty Snowman and ...
