My Needle in the Haystack is beautiful on the inside and pleasing to my eye on the outside. We both exercise to keep trim and fit. We have a desire to connect on several levels including emotional and intellectual and we have incredible chemistry.

In addition to having a 34+ year Financial Services practice, my serious passion is Photography with a business focus in the areas of Glamour/Fashion, Portraiture, Events and Weddings. As as photographic hobby, I find it relaxing to be with nature and create artistic images. I have an in-home portraiture studio and a Website and Model Mayhem website for my commercial work with models.

This passion for photography complements my interest in travel/cruises/collecting art/very active politically/involved in the community. Make time to stay fit/trim. Traveled reasonably extensively in the US incl. Alaska, Hawaii, US Natl Parks, Canada, Europe, Tahiti, Cent Am, Caribbean, Israel. India, Far East. Never yet been to So. Amer/Africa/Down Under. Enjoy non-touristy things when traveling. Terrific bargain shopper of quality items at a great value. Collect serigraphs/lithos impressionistic/geometric. Since ‘75 I've been Self-Employed in my Wealth Mgmt practice as a Financial Advisor--Accredited Estate Planner/Chartered Financial Consultant/Chartered Life Underwriter who helps people make smart decisions about managing wealth. Read primarily the local news/WSJ & tons of financial journals. Most personal reading is photography/travel/nature/politics. Enjoy learning from the Discovery/Travel channels.

My perfect first date:
One that turns into a 2nd date! On the 1st date our personalities "click" and I feel an instant emotional/ chemical connection that excites me all over. It's not where we go or what we do that is important. The KEY is that undefinable "spark between the 2 of us.

My ideal relationship:
Mine, yours and ours. Each person has his/her own space, yet there is always a strong connection for the "us" as partners. We have a similar set of values, a certain commonality of interests and most importantly we just love chilling out with each other because we're in love. One of my business partners is Age 74 and he still refers to his spouse of almost 50 years as his "bride". I want the same thing.

I prefer a woman who is pleasing to my eye and who also has inner beauty. My ideal match is a svelte, seasoned, classy, cultured, articulate, attractive, youthful-looking, intelligent, feminine (with pretty nails), romantic, sensual, sexual, spicy, physically fit, well-traveled, non-smoking lady who is comfortable with her situation, but desires a man to add that "missing link" to her busy existence. I'm not threatened by your accomplishments. You must have a good sense of humor because I like to joke and make puns (but when I'm serious, I’m really serious)! THERE MUST BE THAT SPARK OF CHEMISTRY. You must arouse both my mind and my body; otherwise it’s not a good match. It's helpful to me to see a full-length photo of you. I generally am most attracted to women who are a bit shorter or taller than me or my same height. LOL. I like to see a woman who looks fit. Although the physical attraction thing can be ephemeral, it's nice to start out with strong physical chemistry. I take care of myself and I'd like you to do the same for you. However, rules are made for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men, so you might just be the one to "ring my chimes" with a somewhat different physical package, albeit still trim. I would consider it a plus if you are politically "savvy", are interested in current events (both domestic and foreign) and have some community-related interest, enjoy dancing and can be sophisticated or down to earth. I'm drawn to those who have an inquisitive, clever mind and those who think out of the box for solutions to challenges. I'm not looking for a "perfect" match because I know that is not realistic. Yet, years ago, I learned the saying "Shoot at nothing & you'll hit it every time!" Come out, out wherever you are!

My past relationships:
I cannot enter into a relationship with hopes that my partner will change certain things she does. Both of us must accept each other with our faults and foibles. For the relationship to work, our personalities must "mesh" and there must also be that magical element of physical attraction that excites us both.
