A simple fellow, currently earning a substantial living, striving to maintain fitness, both in body and mind. When not reading, generally exercising, poorly playing a piece on the piano or engaging in deep thought. Admire a strong-willed, independent, intelligent woman who poses a challenge: a diva, that Cleopatra/Margaret Thatcher type who usually intimidates men too weak to meet her exacting standards, too stupid to stimulate her mind, too spineless to question her supremacy or disagree with her opinion. Unafraid of conflict or intellectual friction, I'm confident enough to engage anyone in conversation, state my point of view, listen avidly to others and treat women as equals.

Nothing too intricate or original--simply a rendezvous in a quiet coffeehouse or rookery for an introduction and conversation. Feel free to bring pepper spray and other safety devices, though they'll be unnecessary. I'm really quite harmless.
