I am looking for long term but I can't see getting there without dating...so I date. I find I am having to be more strict in what I am looking for because feelings just get hurt too easily. I am dedicated to staying fit and would like to find a woman with like attitude. She doesn't have to be Miss America but there has to be a physical attraction that pleases me. I am looking for athletic/thin/slightly better-than-average physical attributes. I like quiet times and I love to get out and dance the night away and throw in a little karaoke because I love to sing. Not into watching sports by myself...would rather participate. Intimacy and affection are important to me...can't get enough! I am experimental and totally open-minded. I love wine and love collecting it (about 100 bottles now). I have four successful adult children and 4 grandchildren. I love my kids. Honesty is important to me! If you don't want to know...don't ask...I will do the same! I do my best to be tactful but sometimes honesty is going to hurt no matter what you do...I would rather deal with the hurt. My education is broad...life being the hardest teacher! If you are looking for respect, honesty, open-communication, affection, a person who is non-judgemental (I have no room to throw rocks!), fun, and a great sense of humor...you may just want to give me a few minutes (or more!)of your time. I am totally young at heart...if you are 40...I could be too young for you! lol Please...if it is obvious that we don't match what we are looking for in each other...there are plenty of fish out there! I'm not looking for a woman for her money or a woman looking for mine (she will be disappointed). My desires do not override my resolve to be a gentleman. I am not a "bad boy"..I am what I need to be when I need to be it. Come with an open mind because I will do the same. I do my best to live up to the way most describe me..."real".

I expect nothing but am ready for ANYTHING on the first date. Depends on the chemistry and whether we are comfortable with each other. No pressure. I have my Starbucks card that is loaded!
