Hi... I'm looking for a friend and long term relationship with someone to spend the rest of my life with until I'm so old I'm wearing funny hats. I'm happy with taking my time until I find a thoughtful, TALL and balanced man who is looking for the same. I believe that the essence of life is really who you share it with, which results in the routine becoming pleasurable. Laughter and touch make my world complete. Intimacy is reserved for my chosen man. I need a tall strong man. I would like to think that by now I've developed character, wit, the ability to be fair and flexible and an ever present need to learn. Apologizing isn't a problem for me...sarcasm can be fun when doled out harmlessly, enthusiasm for the little things is a must so long as you can still observe them. Can you? I am definitely a sapiophile. Yes I am single. My photos are all within last 24 months. I love my gym. I've been a pilot, a Russian linguist, jewelry designer, wildlife rehabilitator, jet inspector...I've worn many hats in my life, therefore I've many humorous stories to tell :) I love bubble baths, a powerful engine, beautiful organic food, architecture, kayaking, elephants, Beef Wellington, dogs, kisses, cuddling, laughter and flowers A LOT.reading, a roaring fire and always - stimulating conversation. I golf like Charlie Chaplin. I love that I am authentic and self aware, looking for same. Those whom I respect say that I am gentle, strong, sensitive, compassionate and always looking for the beauty and funny in moments. I can be a dork. ..an affectionate, loyal and humble communicator...The palms of my hands are sensitive, I love to be romanced. I'm not looking for a hookup. Please take the time to fill out your profile. If you have only one photo, I probably won't respond. I'm a navy veteran from years ago. I love driving my mustang gt, left to my own devices I make terrible coffee. I can park like a boss. I live in Washington but will be moving to Montana in a year to buy some land. If you haven't taken the time to provide any info on your profile, it speaks of indifference and so I'm likely not to engage in conversation ;) I think this is universally true. My best to you all and may all of you find that one special someone
