I recently moved from Chicago. I am originally from NYC, have been in the midwest for 14 years. Studied art and ended up in the advertising Internet business. People consider me smart, talented, strong, slightly different, fun and made of the highest ethics, morals and standards. Looking for that elusive someone who lives life to the fullest as if this may be the only one we get. I would like to share my life with someone who gets as much as she can out of life, but gives as much and more to this world. She would believe there are no coincidences, life is what we make it and not controlled by outside forces, and understands the cosmic fairness of that law. Those who have experienced the highs and have seen the lows are much more attractive to me. This person would put loyalty, honesty, kindness, humor and keeping a positive attitude among their highest personal attributes. Intelligence and savvy ness are also very attractive to me. I love the water, sailing, swimming, beaches, etc. I have swam with sharks and dolphins. Physically, I am in great shape, modesty aside, my body looks like a person half my age. When I am 80 yo, I hope to do the things I do today, like roller blading, sailing, dancing, etc. I am not going all the time, and also enjoy just staying in, making dinner with a fine bottle of wine. A turn on for me are women who like to slow dance, appreciate unexpected gifts, playful, and not afraid of life. Of course, I also like women who have great sense of style and can make her way in the circles I keep. You know what happens when we get old? We become practical and reasonable. We question the subtle instead of the obvious, we think and recall our experiences to make decisions that have no place in them. If I have touched you in this brief, then please contact me as life really is too short and too many waste it on the average.
