Life is good, but there is something missing in my world... someone to share it with. I recently lost my mate to cancer after 40 years, and I know that I am not cut out to go it alone. I am looking for a good man to travel with (and perhaps also a soul mate for companionship) and for someone with a sense of humor as well as a sense of romance and adventure, someone who is well grounded and comfortable in his own skin: life is short and who has time for problems? I have been blessed with a great life and now have full financial security. The only thing missing from my life is a soul mate, someone who appreciates intimacy, loves to laugh, who wants to play and travel, and who lives by the Golden Rule.
If I were asked to give my set of values or list the qualities on which I place a high value, I would, to some extent, be talking about myself, and, if not enumerating my characteristics, at least giving those I aspire to possess: fair-mindedness, being grounded, intellectual integrity, empathy, stoicism, adaptability, modesty, abnegation, stamina, tactfulness, articulateness, refinement, generosity, energy, liberal arts education, creativity, personableness, financial success, and ability to laugh at oneself.
Ultimately, I hope to find a friend and companion for life. Could it be you? I am 69 years young, about 5'7", and of average weight. I don't smoke, and I try to eat right. I'm not a health nut, mind you -- I just take care of myself. I have blue eyes and am bald. I am one of the good guys: I kept my parents in my home for seven years when they were in their 80s. I have a sense of humor and tend to be contented most of the time. So, I want to meet a great guy/gal, travel around a bit, and, who knows? . . . live happily ever after. If interested, please send a note with photo, and we can talk via e-mail or later by phone to see if we are compatible. Hope to hear from that right person. I am a good catch and hope to find same.
