Hello. May I say, I appreciate your taking the time to read my profile. The profile is broken into sections in the hope it will make it easier for you to concentrate on the sections of greatest interest to you. My name is John and I pleased to meet you.

My Search
I am searching for a woman who holds marriage as the single most important relationship we can share. As for me; “marriage only”, nothing less is acceptable. I want a woman who knows exactly what she wants and has the courage to go after it. By the time we reach our age if we do not know what we want we are in a lot of trouble psychologically. If this is the type of woman you are then you are what I am looking for.
I am attracted physically to small women. I do not need large female attributes, but these things are merely physical and what is most important is the unseen attributes. I seek a woman who is trustworthy. This is a woman who gives her trust and if she is able to give trust then she will be trustworthy. People who are not able to trust others will usually be found to not be trustworthy and because they know that they are not trustworthy they also do not trust others because they believe everyone is like they are.
Sometimes I am taken, because I give trust freely until given a reason not to trust a particular individual.
Most people seek chemistry, but chemistry is nothing more than raw sex attraction. Though chemistry is exciting, It usually leads to broken hearts and separation for when the chemistry dissipates, which is usually within just a few days or weeks at best, then one or the other seeks someone more exciting because the excitement has vanished and there is nothing remaining to keep them together.

My Life Style
Like most people I spent my life trying to keep up with the Jones, living in ever bigger and better homes and collecting lots of important stuff. The last of the big homes I lived in had 5 bedrooms, several baths, large dinning room, very large kitchen with integral breakfast area. A master bedroom that would accommodate an entire family here, (Costa Rica a third world country) and they would think they were living in a mansion.
After my sweet wife passed away I could no longer live in our home, too many tears. The house is gone, the stuff is gone, and I thought to live temporarily in one of those very large fifth wheel RVs till I decided where I wanted to live. Having grown up in Southern Florida I decided to have Florida as my retirement base and purchased an RV lot there. After a little over two years of the RV life I have found that I love this life style and now know that I will never go back to the fixed life style. Finally, I am making friends who have nothing to do with my business interests, real friends who I want as friends, no hidden agenda.
Travel Within the USA
With the RV in tow and when the weather begins to turn less appealing in Florida I visit the west. On the way out and back there is always the option to stop for a day or a month to explore new places. When traveling the RV is pulled with the ford flat bed truck; the Harley is stored in the garage in the rear of the RV.
Off Shore Travel
I never did much traveling before the death of my wife, But in the past two and a half years I have visited Uruguay several times, Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. This year I am in Costa Rica and have been here for three months (ending on November 18th, 09). The small villa that my apartment is located in is very open and secure (walled in with security). Of the 15 families that live here there are a few children who play outside in complete safety. This place is so nice and the country is beautiful and the people are content and easy going for the most part, that I have decided to keep this apartment and come here on a permanent basis each year.
Harley Davidson
I love to feel the wind while riding. It is a must that you enjoy motorcycles as I ride almost everywhere I go. I have an Escalade in Florida, but only se it when I need to carry something too big to be carried on the bike, or if it is raining or if on one of those rare occasions, I am going out for a special event and am dressed up. For the most part, I prefer jeans and tee shirts or a dress shirt with jeans or sometimes casual slacks.
It is a lot of fun to take off for the day and ride to someplace new and different for lunch or to plan a two or three day tour on the bike with stops along the way. There is so much to explore in Florida that it will be years before we see it all, if ever. There is something special about having your special gal riding behind you with her arms wrapped around you.
One of my favorite places to ride too is Naples Florida at night. On those nights when I cannot sleep (do not sleep well without a companion) I love to put on a nice shirt and ride to McCabe’s Irish Pub, for dancing to Jerry’s tunes the entertainer there. I go wherever and whenever I feel like going and sleep whenever I want. No schedules, no rules, no restrictions, just pure freedom and life to it fullest, or as full as is possible without a mate. Life alone, in my opinion is just survival, for it is the woman who puts real life into the man’s world and I miss that.
YACHTING & SCUBA DIVING
Part of my retirement idea was to buy another yacht, only a little smaller so it could be hauled on a trailer, either to the Keys or to the east coast of Florida for access to the Bahamas. This part is almost ready. The yacht has been modified with a long range fuel tank and all new electronics, new life boat with motor, new swim ladder to support the weight of divers and other minor stuff. All that is remaining to do is to have the boat documented so it can enter foreign ports without trouble.
The boat should add a fun dimension to life with sightseeing, beach hopping in remote locations of the Keys and the Bahamas, diving in new locations, and just boating about.
If you are a diver then you know the amount of work needed to carry all of the tanks etc to the water. Though we will have a couple of tanks on board if needed, most of our diving will be using Hookah. Hookah is a surface supplied air system with a hose bringing the air to the diver. No heavy tanks to haul, no cumbersome equipment to swim with, instead just your fins mask and snorkel and the air line. Hookah; provides true freedom in the water.
Spare Time & Rainy Days
I am writing a book and do research into ancient history. The book is almost ready to be edited and if my new wife has anything in her background that would lend itself to helping with this task that would be a big plus, but is not a requirement. I also go through reading cycles where I consume large quantities of books and then through dry spells with little or no reading.

CONTINUED FROM ABOVE (Wasn't enough room)
This past summer I started up a trucking company with a partner. We now have two trucks on the road and are sorting out things and getting the company running smoothly. Within a couple of months things should be running as they ought to be and we will then begin adding more trucks. If my new wife has a talent for business any help she may decide to offer will be well received, but again, it is not necessary. What I need is companionship, love, and all of the rest that goes with a great marriage including great sex. I am sorry if my speaking of the subject of sex is offensive to you, but I have no inhibitions and feel if there are topics that cannot be discussed between us then we are not right for each other. I am one man who will always speak his most inner thoughts and you will always know what I am thinking.
Relationship
The woman that will fit with me will love adventure and not be concerned about downsizing all of the stuff she has collect over the years. What she does not give to family and friends she will sell. This can be time consuming and some of the stuff I am still going through and discarding. I donated between 20 and 25 boxes of books and am still reducing the remaining books to what is essential for my research work. She will have no fear of just picking up and wandering to some new place that we both decide we want to go see. Our security will come from each other and not from stuff. She will crave that special, close, connection that is only attained in a permanent relationship.
She will have a finely tuned spirit within that is connected to His spirit and she will know without needing but a short time, a few minutes or hours, that she has the right man just as I will know. She will reject the time consuming game we are taught by television and the traditions of the past 100+ years, that we must spend a lot of time to make sure that the mate we choose is correct. This system of finding our mate has failed miserably to the point that our marriages now have a better chance of failure than success.

How can one tell what they would do on their first date. Certainly it would be whatever both are comfortable with.
