FYSA (For Your Situational Awareness) : I plan to leave this app next month or by February 2025. I might keep it up till my membership expires to try to answer questions. I wish everyone the best. I am moving forward with someone I met in Kenya. I hope the information about immigration can help. It's best to apply and have a passport ASAP, so you can apply for a visitor visa to the United States if you get engaged. Otherwise, you will need to wait longer for a fiance visa. Applying for a visitor visa after your fiance or sponsor in the United States files a 129F application for a fiance visa will only cause complications and possible delays for a fiance visa. You can find the information about immigration to the United States under my "Seeking" section. If you are "Separated" and not "Divorced," then it will cause complications. Your "Fiance" or "Sponsor" has two years to file a 129F application for a "fiance visa," so there is a time restraint. If you get married in your country, then your "Sponsor" has to file a 130 application, which can take 4 to 5 years or longer or two times longer than a 129F application (fiance visa), which takes about 2 years. I received my passport in November 2024. I received my "Global Entry" and "Yellow Fever" vaccine to enter Kenya on 13 December 2024. I am planning to visit Kenya in 2025. Expressing Gratitude 🙏: I would like to express my gratitude to the person who had the courage to share their perspective about my profile for me to process to change and modify it for the better. People who have the courage to share the truth with you to become better is an extremely rare trait. Yet, at the same time, we must be humble enough to listen and reciprocate their true intent in helping us to become better. A demonstration of true effective communication skills Let us be thoughtful and respectful 🙏: I am very compassionate, empathetic, and understanding, with wisdom forged by emotional maturity from life lessons learned, yet firm in establishing boundaries with moral character. Trust is the foundation of any relationship with moral character and emotional maturity as the cornerstone. When there is a lack of moral character or emotional maturity, the foundation of trust becomes weak, failing to establish a relationship of trust resulting in anger, resentment, anxiety, and unnecessary stress. Please be decisive. Your decisions should not be based on the person whether or not you want (more) children. You need to know clearly what you want or what you do not want. Do you want (more) children or not? Trying to conform or compromise your values (wanting or not wanting more children), morals, moral character, or goals to fit someone's narrative to what they are seeking will eventually harvest resentment, anger, unnecessary stress, and anxiety, eventually blaming the other person or me, which is emotionally immature Let's be honest and real with each other, "Hi" or "Hello" is not a great way to start a conversation with anyone emotionally and intellectually mature enough to dedicate and invest time and money to find a genuine true connection and love. I spent much time processing my thoughts and past life lessons learned when writing my profile. My profile is extended because I am serious about finding a lifetime partner that will eventually lead to marriage—a lifetime partner with "moral character" who strives for integrity, honesty, and transparency. Someone who believes in the idea and philosophy that they will tell the truth and be honest no matter what with the courage to possibly hurt or anger someone with the brutal, bitter truth rather than cowardly comfort them with a sweet white lie (like infidelity). Therefore, the bitter truth is far better than a sweet lie. In return, you can show some common courtesy and respect by reading my profile before sending me a message to use our time wisely. Our lives are too short to waste time. I will also read your profile and reciprocate anything that stands out to me or impresses me about you. I might message you first (which is extremely rare); therefore, I am interested in learning more about you. If you avoid video chatting, I will know you are not seriously dedicated to this dating site, and I will no longer respond to your messages. Video chatting is the quickest way to eliminate scammers or others who are not serious. Again, life is too short to waste anyone's time. About Me 🤙🏼: I am a retired Combat Veteran. I was a Certified Master Combatives Instructor and a Senior Human Resource Sergeant in the US Army. I have a great sense of humor with a bit of sarcasm. I bought a newer house in Alpine, Texas, around June 2023. I train and instruct Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), self-defense, and Law Enforcement Officers (LEO), including basic and tactical combatives including de-escalation and less lethal force tactics. I have a 22-year-old son in college and an 11-year-old son who lives with his mother. I live alone with my dog in my house, a primary question I answered in my profile. Therefore, asking me if anyone lives with me indicates that you did not care to read my profile when it states my current living situation in two different places of my profile. I do the maintenance and repairs on my house, truck, and two cars since it's too easy to do than to pay someone who will rush and do a half-ass job. I enjoy writing, hiking, walking, mountain biking, and grappling (Jiu-Jitsu). I own a publishing company called "Positive Power Press" and wrote a book for my two sons. I strive to have moral character, integrity, honesty, transparency, and being upfront with courage. As for me, trust is the foundation of any relationship, especially with a spouse, significant other, or better half. FYSA 📸: My primary profile picture was taken on 23 September 2024. The other images I posted were within the last two years. Please be ethical and post recent pictures without filters or AI filters to avoid wasting my time or your time. Let's be honest; no one likes being catfished. PLEASE READ the "Seeking" section at the end of my profile. If you message me asking, "What are you looking for?" Or anything similar; then I most likely will not respond and delete your message since I explain that in my "Seeking" section at the end. Sorry, I will not waste your time or my time. Messaging me before reading and processing my profile wastes your time and my time. Let's be honest with each other and not waste time. Again, life is too short to waste each other's time. FYSA 👍🏼: I do not care about your height. Unfortunately, most women have a height requirement. I am okay with that since we need to know what we want, need, or expect to avoid disappointment. All I ask is for you to be honest with yourself so that you can be honest with me so that we do not waste each other's time.
