I like a woman who is intelligent, with a good sense of humour. Offbeat sense of humour and sarcastic wit are welcome :). Physically I guess I wouldn't say I have a specific "type". Different things are appealing about different people.
I do like to exercise but I'm not the type that expects the person I'm with to do it if it's not their thing. I feel it's the healthy thing to do for me (especially now that I'm ancient. lol)
Personalities that mesh and good conversation with some common interests are usually the most attractive qualities to me. I am looking for a real relationship with one honest person who is willing to devote the time to making it work. I don't believe in flings or one night stands. Sex without attachment or some sort of deeper connection isn't something I'm interested in. I'm very open to conversation so if you feel like emailing me don't be shy. If you think you'd like to talk but don't like making first contact, adding me to your favorites works. (I'm not really sure why there's an option to see who's viewed you since, by most people's accounts, it doesn't have anything to do with being interested so it's a useless feature on a dating site. Logically, the fact that you can decide if someone can see that you viewed them would indicate they must want you to know they're looking at your profile, but this doesn't seem to be the case by most people's accounts. Strange.)

I have a wide variety of interests that range from artistic to nerdy to outdoorsy (is that a word?). I'm a passionate person in almost everything I do and can be opinionated about certain things but I'm a good listener and value my partners opinions as well. I like a wide variety of music and always keep an ear out for new things I may be interested in. I don't find too many newer artists appealing, however. I'm fond of classic rock, older R&B, funk and soul music.


I understand that there must be an initial attraction, but I'm not the type of person that believes in instant "magic" when meeting someone new. I think magic can only happen after knowing someone and being comfortable with them. If you are the type that's chasing some sort of perfect ideal or "love at first sight" we won't match because no one ever lives up to the expectations of people who have this unrealistic ideal and you will ALWAYS find something wrong with the person you meet. Meetings with these types are pointless and a complete waste of time. Also, if you are the ADD type of online dater I'd rather you didn't waste my time either. Making first contact with me then not being able to carry on a couple of conversations
before trying to land someone else just keeps you swimming in circles. If you aren't willing to barely talk to one person before jumping to another person please DO NOT email me. This seems rude to me. Getting to know different people is fine as long as you're willing to give some consideration to all involved. I don't want to make a big deal about this but for the most part these are the women that seem to email me and I'd rather not waste my time walking into a brick wall.

Getting to know one another. Maybe do something fun and casual. Talk, talk and more talk.
