I am an attractive and intelligent woman who is philosophical and very caring about those close to me. I take a genuine interest in people and find the best cure for a down day is to learn about somebody or something else. Since I currently enjoy a retired lifestyle I am open to anything that catches my interest, however my main passions are billiards and personal growth. I have done extensive volunteer work in a mental health capacity and prefer to read anything about psychology, self improvement, motivation to reach one's potential and triumph over adversity. I disdain romance novels. I spend a good deal of time managing my investments, doing personal examination, practicing and playing in pool tournaments and writing as I am a creative sort. I also believe in attention to personal grooming.

I am seeking a kind, caring and decent man who has old fashioned values and a deep desire to be married and spend the rest of his life with one special woman. Someone who dares to dream and believes in progress and limitless possibilities. I have a lot to offer to the right man and would only like to hear from men who think they have character and integrity and a lot to offer too! You will read this and think: finally, someone who can appreciate me! vs. this person is too picky. I believe in courtship and marriage and only want to meet men who are on the same wavelength who have made a personal decision to settle down but not to settle for unsuitable people. Most likely you are frustrated by meeting women who can't or wont make a commitment and you are fed up with not finding the soul mate you feel you deserve. You feel like you have so much to offer a person who you can totally trust implicitly and who you have a close connection and attraction to but have met no such person. You are the type of man who must be best friends with your mate and keep no secrets because it would go against your grain if it were any other way. You are reliable, dependable, CONSISTENT and live by the adage that ACTIONS speak louder than WORDS!
I would prefer to meet a professional person who is accustomed to an above average lifestyle. Furthermore, you are a rare breed in the sense that you are financially responsible AND a loving, caring, sensitive person. Seems like a needle in a haystack so far, however, since I embody these qualities I refuse to give up hope that a similar man exists! I ask for NOTHING MORE than I am willing to offer and feel it is only fair to expect no less. Please do not write unless you resonate with my honesty and don't take it personally. My intuition tells me that men who are SINCERE and PREPARED for the responsibility of creating a marriage that will last forever will have no problem with my being outspoken about finances. My hope is that an enlightened and open minded approach to finances will ensure that both people have taken some responsibility for their futures with a possible mate. Further to the above, you are not an arrogant pompous bore but instead appreciate that you have humility and like to learn about people and give them respect. You are a romantic and enjoy fine dining and weekend getaways and travel. You like nice things and want to live well. You are not the type of person who puts down people who live well or is critical of wanting more out of life.
I am a non practicing Jewish person but love yiddish jokes and am in the process of studying the old and new testaments. I love to learn and will always approach my heritage with scholarly enthusiasm. I don't think I could ever change to be anything but what I am so please keep that in mind if you are more observant.
