I am a thoughtfull person who is practical, capable, resourceful, and very responsible. I am also a bit of a romantic for whom displays of emotions and tears are certainly OK. While emotion is very real and must be understood, it can't replace reason and rational thought. I am adventurous and have enjoyed many wonderful experiences on the ground, on the water, and in the air. I do not experience regret for something that I may have done, but I may experience regret for having failed to take advantage of an opportunity that was presented to me. Some of my activities have included competitive sailing, sports car racing, spending days on horseback pushing cattle, operating heavy equipment, flying---you get the idea. I am a reasonably good writer who enjoys the use of words and language and considers clear articulation of ideas to be a laudable quality in an individual. My personal philosopy is that life can be wonderful if you don't have expectations. One must be considerate, consistent, and let your actions do the talking. You must remember to both keep your word and your self respect---your integrity is your most valuable asset. You should be loving, be loved, and enjoy sharing with your partner the pleasures of living each day and enjoying any opportunities for learning..
I am, and enjoy the company of, a sensual person---someone who can share the pleasure of personal contact. Public displays of affection are fine, but some types and the places where they may occur are more approprate than others.
My ideal is a woman who enjoys life, nature, and conducts herself with style and grace. She is thoughtful, well-educated, articulates her ideas skilfully, speaks a language other than English and enjoys travel. She may be an active professional, or retired, but she is interested in learning new things, meeting new people, and expanding her life experience. Physical contact and touch should spontaneously be expressions of affection and caring for another person that is shared frequently and regularly. Such contact represents affirmation---I am OK, you are OK, and I like being here with you and want you to know it. R
