I value kindness, integrity, and honesty and find these qualities very attractive. I'm educated, traveled, and not done seeing the world. I enjoy the freedom of an empty-nester without pets. I enjoy being active, but am not athletic. Love to go for a walk, a dance, a swim, but am not participating in next year's Iron Man. Love to explore, experience new things, people, and places. As for meeting after exchanging a couple sentences - I like to know a bit about a person before I commit to spending time with them - and that is easily done through this medium. There is no urgency ... I have no interest in meeting multiple gents or filling all my spare time with dates with men I may or may not have anything in common with or interest in. Just seems more prudent to put the effort in. PS - A note to all the worm-totin, virus-sharin losers on this site who have nothing better to do than send "loaded" emails to unsuspecting fools - if you ask for my email address before we have met in person - I will block/report you. Get counselling - obviously there is something broken in you.
