All the things I can & can't say... Actually, I have found there to be some confusions.... I am reform. I served in the IAF, and still am on the inactive list. I clarify, since it seems to be so important to some. I suppose one could say I have more of a Mediterranean look, all this from a Dutch/Russian couple. Who'da thunk it? I just tan so very, very well, is all I mean.

I am a romantic at heart and a driven professional on the outside, My strong suite is being softer to my partner than to others, but there are occasions when I will be misunderstood. The Chinese call me a Water Dragon, but here, I am known as an Aries (if you follow the astrological).

I love the outdoors and especially lakes and oceans! Sailing and walking on the beach are my favorites.

Born and educated in the US and speaking three languages (I’m working on the fourth, and considering the merits of learning the fifth (please pardon the play on words)). I have traveled the world and have worked in different countries and will continue such pursuits with the help and understanding of my intended. (The old saying of…. Behind every strong man, there is a strong woman…. Well, I believe it to be true.)

Looking for a loyal and loving woman to share my experiences with... Fun with magic and sparks! Chemistry, you know...

I have some limitations due to industrial accidents during my errant youth so… strenuous activities have been curtailed, but I remain active. Thunderation, I’m 56, what business do I have playing football or soccer again?

As previously mentioned, sailing is my favorite sport but flying runs a close second and I imagine, at the end of the day, cuddling in front of the fireplace in some secluded place with that special one.

And yes, I am for honesty and monogamy... I carry no baggage nor do I harbor grief of any kind so please only positively inclined apply...

On to more important matters: I'm quite well-versed and extraordinarily conversant, I'm searching for the same. I'm looking for a girl that is not too tall, not too short, but really sweet would fit the bill nicely. Someone that can keep the gorilla in me on a leash without making me crazy is mandatory.

I do own a full-service advertising agency and have an extensive background in computer, electrical and mechanical engineering. I am well-versed and adroit with most things and not hesitant to talk about these matters when you have questions. I'll try not to be boring with all the details of how things work, unless you ask the questions.

I have worked as an on-line volunteer (counseling battered women), I continue to work with disabled veterans. I have built specialty prosthetics and engineered new appliances for these guys. On the lighter side, sometimes just howling at the moon and carrying on into the night is what these Vets want, and need, to do.

As you have determined, I am a thoroughly adorable individual that needs feminine attention. If you can accept a busy schedule or if some of what is mentioned fits nicely with your pursuits, let's talk. I'm not a loser (have too many bad habits) and I won't/don't quit just because of a little adversity. I am particularly interested in a woman that wants to live life to the fullest and is not afraid of challenges.

I'm not interested in too much younger than myself (I have lost the art of relative interpretation) and still have a 1960s & 1970s mindset. But, hard work has paid off and I'm ready to enjoy the fruits of the labor.

Initially, I was leveling off with something simple like.... "A nice smile to go along with a mischievous nature would be splendid. I seek a woman that can be as comfortably dressed in a pair of jeans hanging pictures on the wall or in a bikini walking on the beach as she'd be in a Dior gown at a dinner party is a given." But then I got serious about it, what it meant and what I was really meaning to say.
So, you're wanting to know what it is that I "really" see when I imagine my mate. I sat down, anguished over it a bit, wrote it out and then read it and decided it spoke very well of my needs and wants. So I will post it here for you to see. This is very important that these beliefs and understandings are a part of you as well. If they are not, that is ok, it simply means you are perfect for someone else and not me.

I decided to write the following, expressing thoughts about someone I hadn't met yet:

She meets needs that I did not know I had until she met me. She is passionate in all she does. She has great wisdom and incorporates it into her life. She lives on a higher level than the average girl. Her soul is clean. She is beautiful to me. She is shapely and has a beautiful smile and bright eyes. She has direction and purpose in her life. She is successful in her career choice. She is humble and respectful at all times. She is not a whore who has been touched by a lot of other men. She will and can grow (has the capacity) to love me with all her soul. Not heart, but soul (you love your neighbor with your heart, I want deep, all the way to your core love that comes from the soul). She is very health conscious. No drugs. No heavy drinking. When I look into her eyes, I get swept away in our inner connection that flows through us both equally. She has grown to believe I am the most wonderful man in the world and would not trade me for anything. She knows I believe she is the most wonderful girl in the world and would not trade her for anything. She understands my every fear, dream, and mistake, and has grown to love me all the more for it and in spite of it. Her love will complete me. She will take the time to groom, perfume and prepare for me, for our pleasure and mutual satisfaction. To me, even the simplest gesture, touch, caress is very satisfying. Everyday for the rest of our lives, she and I will agree to remain steadfast and true, even when this is not possible. She is intelligent and has a high IQ. She is loving, compassionate, giving, thoughtful, generous, respectable, passionate, true, honest, faithful, devoted, forgiving, understanding, trustworthy, helpful, gentle, romantic, prudent, mindful, and capable. She may not be perfect in some ways for anyone else. But, she is perfect for me. Her flaws will be more beautiful, in my eyes, than the polished perfection most other women have spent years to develop.
