I am looking for a sweet girl who is both passionate and classy.

I am on pof because I work a good deal and rarely go to bars or clubs anymore. My strongest assets are probably my sense of humor and honesty. Everything else like smarts, strong work ethic, family values and etc. aren't bad either!

I enjoy both the outdoors and "highbrow" activities like art and civic activities. I'd like to go to a pumpkin farm soon. I enjoy romance, travel, family, movies, laughing, and many types of music. I'm interested in being with someone who has a good heart and really wants a loving long tern relationship.

I am looking for a deep mental connection and strong physical chemistry. Someone who will be my life partner, with whom we will work together on our next accomplishments.

I enjoy outdoor exercise and prefer it to be with someone else - biking, hiking. I *really* enjoy doing either while on a day or international trip. I might be open to a new sport or outdoor adventure if your knowledgeable about it. I'd enjoy biking and would probably try ultra-light flying.

Music I enjoy ranges from Pop, Blues, Sinatra, Baroque to Mettallica. I am a classically trained musician, but have not played in years.

I would like to visit latin american countries (I visited non-touristy Merida, Mexico 3 times last year)including costa rica and, someday, perhaps argentina

I have a higher than average passion for... passion, and find intellectual curiosity sexy! I really need that in a woman. A healthy daily dose of relaxed snuggle is good, too, even if its just before going to sleep for the night.

One example of a time I was very intellectually stimulated was during a personal tour given me by a very knowledgeable guide at the Chichen Itza ruins in the Mayan region of the Yucatan in Mexico. I would greatly enjoy being able to travel the world for this kind of experience.

Other passions I have had have been education, food, people (in the sense of getting to know strangers different than I,) cultural activities, oh, and long ago religion.

I probably do not want to date women who already have children or who often hang out in bars. I say this after meeting a nice woman a few times, and then learing she has seven children. Completely overwhelming to me. I think I would like to have children of my own, if I find the right woman for that. Someone possibly good enough to be my wife might not necessarily be good enough-if I have the choice- to be the mother of my children.

Going for a walk, maybe an art museum or forest preserve, etc. Rest and chat at a cafe. Hopefully winding up doing something fun together that was unplanned.
