I am an intelligent, well educated, sensitive, honest, uninhibited, patient, spiritual, and compassionate man. I do not play games (except for fun). I say what I feel and what I think. I value integrity and honesty above all. I have a good sense of humor. I know myself and what I want, and what I need. I am a good and generous person. I am fundamentally content, happy, and positive.

My most obvious attributes are my need to question everything, my intelligence, my kindness, my understanding, my love of animals and of nature, my grasp of reality, and my openness. I have this insatiable thirst for knowledge. In a relationship, I strive to enable my partner to be the very best she can be and at what she does.

I love the simple things in life, animals, nature, good company, cuddling by the fire on a winter evening, long deep conversations about a host of topics.

?I have spent the past 25 years in a loving committed relationship with a soul mate, life partner, business partner, a lover and my best friend. That relationship ended with her death two years ago. Prior to that, I was married for 14 years. We raised 2 daughters (now adults and on their own). The marriage broke up because of irreconcilable differences as we grew in very different directions.

I currently seek a soul mate, a life partner, a friend, a lover, a companion, a woman with whom I will spend the rest of my days. I seek a woman capable of giving as well as accepting unconditional love, a woman who can both make and keep a life commitment.

I am seeking a mature woman, a woman of the world, one who is emotionally, spiritually, and sexually available. She must be honest, forthright, and open. I am looking for someone who is intelligent, educated, and who is knowledgeable about a host of topics. I seek a multi-talented person, always eager to learn, to teach, to share, and to grow. She must be a good communicator, fearless and uninhibited about communicating her deepest thoughts, desires, needs, fears, and points of view.

You will catch my attention by what you are, by what you say, by your empathy, compassion, and by your intelligence not by your looks, wealth, social status, occupation, or possessions. Superficiality is a deal breaker for me.

I am living a very independent and unconventional life aboard my yacht docked in Brooklyn NY.

A first date should be fun for both, and end with each person knowing more about the other. The venue itself is unimportant.
