I'm creative, intelligent, open-minded, lifelong learner, loved the college setting. I'm honest, kind, caring, compassionate, empathetic, build others up, Golden Rule. In romance, I'm giving, loving, warm, into pampering my partner. However: I'm strongly attracted to femininity in a man--in his dress and grooming, what's pretty, flirty, sexy, beautiful and different from a man, in his thoughts/feelings and attitudes as well. I'll respect him, but can't feel romantic if his only (i.e. always) dresses
frumpy, unisex or manly. I'm turned on by the differences in men and women-- enchanted and charmed by them. Femininity in you inspires romance and chivlary in me. (Is that for some reaon not a good thing?)
I do respect "need for space", apart time makes together time more precious. Enjoy fine other friendships, but be each other's best friend, closest confidante, port in the storm.
I love closeness, affection, handholding, sensuality, cuddling, kissing; does not have to lead to anything further, I love these all on their own. We could lovingly kiss for hours, my arms around your waist, your head on my shoulders, both of
us feeling so safe, warm, serene... turned-on with the thrill of being alive, in our precious shared moments of togetherness... We do this as summer rain and thunder crash, winds howling, or as deep snow gently falls, we watch through our windows... And not just cuddle, but
verbally communicate, all deepest levels, explore one another's mind and heart. Create shared memories and dreams. Love BBW's if they're tall (but not short, sorry!). (Some of you who think you're BBW's are not, so have courage, stick in there!)
Seek a man to share my cultural/ intellectual pursuits, who deeply loves his favorite books, music, classic films, classic literature, visual arts, creative writing. Strongly prefer activities which engage thinking and feeling. PBS, NPR, Car Talk, Prairie Home, American Masters, Dr. Who, Austin City Limits, Brit sit-coms, etc.
For music I'm huge expert on Grateful Dead, Gram
Parsons, Bob Dylan, Robert Johnson, Brian
Wilson/Beach Boys, Ray Davies/Kinks, British folk-rock especially Steeleye Span/ Fairport Convention, lesser expert on 100's more, incl. blues, folk, jazz, bluegrass, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Van Morrison, 1960's pop, dobro/pedal/lap-steel/bottleneck slide in all forms... I find I'm lonely dating a man who doesn't share such interests, having his complementary favorites and hopefully a few exact same; I want more than just physical presence and small talk...
I'm also down to earth, love nature, outdoors, amateur photography. Hiking, walking, parks/ trails, snow-shoeing in winter, enjoying the beauty of the woods and fields, sunlight and clouds, love animals out in nature, am not a hunter. I'm into healthy lifestyle and nutrition, keep well-informed on latest findings. Some sports:
NFL/Buffalo Bills, occasional specials like Olympics, World Cup.
I'm not jealous/ possesive/ controlling, I know need for space. Not one who follows the crowd, am independent thinker, seek same. I idealize marriage, prefer it, wish I was celebrating 25 years of blissful marriage right now instead of "searching" on here! I regret not passing lineage on into future (ie kids); so look forward to having stepkids, grandkids, etc. through my future mate. 17 yrs in same good job, 1st time home buyer. I won't bum, scam or steal from you, as I've seen "bad girls" do; am self-reliant, responsible. So: Let's share books, arts, music, kissing, fresh air & exercise; be partners with a common cause; companions of mind, heart, body, spirit.



============================

for fun:During my free time I enjoy going to movies, dining out, reading, skiing, exercising , travel, watching sporting events such as football, hockey, basketball, and reading. I enjoy the outdoors as well as a nice hotel. I love
winter!

favorite hot spots:I have traveled extensively in the South Pacific region, (I used to live in A. S.); Europe, enjoyed Italy and Spain); Ireland, Scotland, Mexico, and some of Canada. I would love to spend more time in Mexico and
venture down under to Brazil.
favorite things:As far as music goes I like old rock/roll, fun pop, some classical, and women vocalists. I'm open to new music. I watch very little t. v., I usually have other things to do. I do like "Brothers/Sisters," CNN, Sun A. M. Washington news shows,
last read:The Piano Teacher - an interesting drama beginning during WWII; Savage Summit; and many young-adult books.
Job:I study civil engineering, So i proudly say that i am a civil engineer and on the other hand i am a project manager and
general contractor at the same time and my Job requires frequent travelings. Hope that is not too much for a person.....?

I am devoted completely to the one I love. I will never cheat on you, will never lie to you and I will try my very best to never take you for granted. When am not busy I like Spending most time together with with my woman. Running away together for a weekend and forget about the rest of the world, or just watch TV so close one to the other it’s like we are one. Little moments are what make life worth living. It is these little moments that you remember for ever.I will make you smile,will put you first no matter what, will respect you as my significant one and I will most definitely take you for who you are and never ask you to change. We have very similar way of taking life and I believe we could stimulate each other on better
things . I have a very big faith and am faithful to the woman I love. I am a humble guy, pleasant, like to seek opportunities, have
good taste, love the finer things in life. I'm still a balance of sophistication and professionalism, mixed with just the right amount of mischief, adventure and humor. I can be a true gentleman, romantic or a naughty bad boy, and that's what keeps things exciting. I am "down to earth," not conceited or self centered, but I do succeed in everything. I'm a positive person, straight forward, open-minded, and I'm usually in a great mood. I am full of fun and laughter and I'm always ready for an adventure. I try to find humor in almost everything and I don't sweat the small stuff. I have a fast-thinking sense of humor and I'm a huge practical joker. I go to the gym daily to stay fit. I love children and all kinds of friendly animals. I like making people feel comfortable along with making them laugh I like people with a positive attitude.I will debate political issues at a black tie event, or tell the funniest jokes at the local pub, talk sport when I am on
a jersey. You can feed me prime rib, lobster or a hamburger and hot-dog,I'm good with any of them, infact I am a good cook, you can come contest I will definately win in 6 yards. I like to have great conversations and it can be on many subjects. I am not looking for whiners, complainers, guilt trippers or ex-baggage carrier. I am looking for women with an ambition, a goal, a passion.
I am a hard worker,I'm a business professional and poet in my spare time and I am very successful at what I do. I let nothing get in my way and I always reached my goals within the deadlines I have given myself. I am my hardest critic. I have built quite a good reputation for my life.I value my relationships more than anything. None of us are perfect, but we are responsible for how we treat people. It
will keep you around or
not. If not, lets do it with class and not burn bridges. Hopefully we learn from our mistakes & choose not to relive them. Not into online games, if this is your favorite sport, I'm not playing. Am not interested in casual, be it sex or serial daters.what I want about my partner its she should be strong, confident, with a heart of gold. Am Looking for the woman that understands that friends first, last & always is what matters most. A gem, genuinely a good woman willing to take a leap of faith & realize how great life can be with 1 special man who appreciates and adores her.In finding true love, I do not think distance matters. The world is small. I am prepared to travel. If your profile says you're looking for someone within 20 miles of your area, get out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself to find the true one.

Life is about
sharing all of its greatest adventures with someone you would love to relive it with. I think we all desire someone that makes you their world, and I don't mean in a smothering way. But that someone that you can't wait to see, share good news with and experience all that this world has to offer. That person makes you drift into another dimension when they touch you and kiss you. Someone that would be as simple as paying attention to the fact you like your coffee black to as big as taking a bullet for you. Someone that will know all of your flaws and still love you through it all. And especially that person you know will have your back day in and day out regardless of how hard things get. I truly believe that is still out there. :) Just have to keep looking.
Me.......I believe
wholeheartedly that you must give
more than you take. My greatest joy in life is seeing the person I am helping glow with gratitude because I took the time to care. I teach my daughters, and many other youth, the legacy you leave behind should be that you touched the lives of many. If you ask, most of my friends would split down the middle and tell you that I am this little princess/betty crocker/martha/red cross woman who definitely will spoil the people she cares about and go the extra mile to make sure that they are happy. The other half would say that I am outgoing/funny/crazy(in a good sense)/competitive/driven/straight shooter who loves a great adventure or challenge. And all of them know me as the one person who could turn their life around through a healthy diet plan and a fitness routine in the gym. Not all of them like the idea but they still know where to turn.I am a mother of three amazing
young women.
They are one of my life's greatest success! Now that they are building their own lives it leaves me with more time to rediscover me. I still love spending time with them of course now it's on their terms when their social calendar permits. ahahahaha I love it

What am I looking for? hmmmm Are there any real men out there anymore? A man that is not afraid to lead, rather than follow? A man that truly knows how to treat a woman. I am looking for just that.............he doesn't mind attention and has no problem giving it back. I want someone that when he leaves he can't wait to come back. Someone that looks forward to planning adventures we can enjoy together. I love to have a great time getting to know
someone and if all that comes of it
is friendship, great! You can never have too many of those. If the chemistry is there (for the both of us) that's even better! We will cross that bridge when we come to it. hahaha For now, lets start with hello
