If I liked what I read in your profile (yes, I do go beyond just looking at a beautiful face) I will probably write you. I'm looking for intelligence and beauty.
Everyone gets a lot of responses, however, one must know how to sift through the real and unreal. Not all is what it appears to be. No one knows what they want and everyone is always changing their mind based on a "doctored" picture or some bs they had someone else write to try and please you.
I have a great sense of humor and love to make people laugh. I take life seriously, however, if you can't laugh at your mistakes, where's the fun (life's too short). I am a romantic at heart, however, I believe in being friends first and then see where it goes. I don't have the time nor the desire to play games. A picture tells you very little. It's all about the person inside.
I have 4 wonderful children who have made my life so worth it all. Perhaps when you feel more comfortable (or should I say "if" we can email each other, or meet for coffee. Chemistry is very important to me. I can sit here and tell you I am kind, secure both financially and mentally, considerate, a great listener, generous, and very caring but the only way you will learn these truths is in getting to know me.. There is nothing phony about me. I don't play games and I am looking for a sincere friendship that might develop into a serious relationship. I totally believe in giving a person all the space they need to be themselves. Love children, and most animals. I am healthy, eat healthy (organic whenever possible), take supplements & vitamins, a total believer in holistic medicine, workout every day, and love to take long walks and hold hands.
I try not to take myself too seriously, and I would like someone who does the same. I have learned that to make mistakes is part of living, I am not judgemental, and have learned to forgive easily. I can be reserved and professional, or a free spirit who likes to live in the moment depending on the situation. I enjoy having set plans, or being spontaneous. I like someone who has a sense of humor, is willing to see different point of views, and can relax accepting the roller coaster of life.

ps: If you haven't posted your picture, I will not respond; that's only fair!

pss: Unfortunately, I put the wrong age, my bad. However, this site would not allow me to change it. So this is the only way to correct it. I just turned 61 and I'm proud of it; I am stronger, smarter, faster, healthier, fitter, look younger, and wealthier (not that I'm rich) than I ever have been. Also, I understand that any meaningful relationship must start with friendship and one day at a time.

I would like to meet for coffee or a drink somewhere public and quiet enough for us to talk and decide whether we want to meet again.
