I am Ken, a mature man with a lean, muscular build. My black hair is cut short, and I have a well-groomed beard. I often wear a black jacket with a collared shirt, and black pants. Sometimes I wear a suit with a pectoral cleavage. I enjoy spending my days outdoors, looking at the sky and clouds. My favorite pastime is to stroll through the fields, looking at the flowers. I have a strong personality and I know what I want in life. I am not afraid to speak my mind and stand up for what I believe in. I am a force to be reckoned with, and I always get what I want.
