IN A NUTSHELL: I'm sincere, straight-forward,open/honest, very affectionate/snuggly/kissy type. Intimacy is vital to me. Excellent cook, quite tidy, animal lover. BTW, while I live a healthy lifestyle, I'm not fanatical. I enjoy beer and ice cream, am happy to lounge around, especially on a dreary day with someone special. I'm not part of the "serial dating subculture" that abounds online and don't even casually date more than one woman at a time. POTENTIAL MATE: should be patiently looking for a long term relationship. I DID NOT JOIN FOR recreational dating (been there, done that)...just looking for a quality partner in life.

I have lots of family in Oregon, DC California and love to visit relatives. I travel quite a bit for work, but the locations are often resorts, and can bring friends or someone special (you!)
I prefer small gatherings of special friends to large crowds of strangers; but do just fine in crowds.

A very special place I go on working vacations is Mustique Island, a very small (3 x 1.5 mi) privately owned island in St Vincent, Grenadines . I uploaded a few pics from this x-mas there...

I confess to being a little nervous about online dating; I try to keep a low profile, but my work involves some high profile aspects...

Anyway; if you ask me straight forward questions, you can count on same honest answers.The specifics of what I'm looking for in a woman are difficult to define, as this is an interactive package equation. I play nice with others and have many long term friends, including former relationships

depends...open to suggestion, but always have ideas
