Preface: I created this section to try and make myself clear as to what I am looking for, answer frequently asked questions, and address a few pet peeves. If you're offended by my candor just move on. I am not interested in exchanging dozens of emails each asking a single question (so annoying) or exchanging anything more than a few emails or calls that have to do with when and where we are meeting. We're either interested in each other or we're not, no need to belabor the issue. If we share a “vibe” it will be immediately apparent thus no need for the “tell me about yourself” email requests, all we will want to do is figure out when our schedules will allow us to meet face to face. Regarding the ages of women I’m interested in (30-55) I have met 30 year olds that are just as sophisticated, grounded, mature, successful, and desirable as women in 50’s ...and 50 year olds that are just as beautiful, sexy, playful, and free spirited as 30 year olds. I don't believe, within reason, that chemistry is bound by age and if you do i'm not interested. I'm attracted to women who take care of themselves, inside and out. INSIDE: Please be emotionally stable and well mannered If you see a therapist that’s cool as long as he or she thinks it's safe for you to date and he or she has figured out the perfect psychotropic cocktail for you AND YOU TAKE IT AS PRESCRIBED. Rough around the edges is completely acceptable but if you let F and A bombs fly like there’s no tomorrow i'm not interested. OUTSIDE: fit, slender, muscular, athletic, toned, average, and curvy are all good. Just like age, beauty has a range, but know that my idea of curvy is Ana Nicole Smith before she was heavy and long before she was dead. Also, a few extra pounds doesn’t mean your physician suggested you drop 20 (or more), it means you just don’t feel you are where you would like to be even though you are probably ideal. INTIMACY: I love intimacy-- physical, intellectual, heartfelt. I'm playful, flirtatious, attentive, and affectionate and you should be too. I love a courtship but not a game and nothing contrived. I'm not interested in going out with you and your friends the first time, can care less if they approve, and think women who need the consent and approval of their friends are more girls than women. If the instant we see each other we want to hold hands, wrap our arms around each other, or share a long, soft kiss we shouldn't pretend otherwise and if you think we should because you’re “old fashioned that way” i'm not for you. Religion: I respect all religions but the world can do without zealots of all faiths. ABOUT ME AND WHO I AM LOOKING FOR: Trying to find the right words to impress upon you exactly who I am and what landed me here is difficult. I consider myself to be quite sincere and this format makes that difficult to convey without sounding cheesy or contrived. I like to think of myself as intelligent, strong, witty, direct, effective, attentive, and affectionate. I tend to be quite romantic when inspired, love to spoil with words, gestures, letters, and attention. I believe in sweeping a woman off her feet, nice dinners (though i love neighborhood, family owned, hole in the walls), never ending eye contact at the appropriate times, soft touches, firm embraces, dancing close, long walks, and weekend get aways for no particular reason. I also believe in the type of passion that leaves you fighting to catch your breath and wishing you never had to part. I'm very active, eat healthy, hard working, diligent, tenacious, and not to shabby in the brains department. I enjoy reading in my down time, cooking, do a little writing from time to time, love to laugh, and would love to find a woman to share a passionate relationship with.
