As I browsed some of these ads, & noticed that most seem to place a great deal of importance on hobbies & activities.. the matchmaking attributes give it a high priority as well.. while I understand the merit of common interests I'm not so certain that predefining is the key to finding a successful relationship..from what I have observed people tend to connect when there is mutual attraction to one another..Once they connect, the successful ones blend their leisure time together naturally & comfortably, because of their mutual desire to be around one another..My reason for falling in love would not be because she likes to read, hike, or travel, neither would it be because she has children or doesn't have children..rather it would be the sound of her laugh, the touch of her hand, her attitude towards life..powerfully simple, yet tremendously elusive, but if discovered time shared together would be effortless.. Oh boy.. the tough part..without writing a novel - I am someone who loves life, feels very blessed, and yet would love to meet someone who can share the laughter. I enjoy being active, traveling – so far 52 countries - and just experiencing life. It's not where you go and what you see or do that are most important - it's who you get to experience life with. I like to think of myself as a balance of Bohemian by night and executive by day. I'm looking for a woman who is genuine, likes to laugh and yet can also carry on a conversation. I try to "mean what I say and say what I mean" and really value that in others.. Although I would love to meet that soul mate (what everyone hopes to find) I really am looking to start as friends. A coffee, a movie, a long walk on sandy beach. .who knows what may happen! My life is pretty full but after a lot of years of work, work, work.. I'd love to have a companion to travel with dine with and exploring in full of everything. I'd like to meet someone who has healthy body and mind with positive attitude towards life
