), and I have a general interest in the areas of philosophy, religion, culture, anthropology, history, the arts, and technology. I thrive on discussion and love interacting with people of all sorts. I am physically fit and enjoy the outdoors (an interest that I am looking to explore more), and, while I enjoy travel, I very much love exploring the simple pleasures of being in my home city and the company of people I know well.
Cooking (and eating!) and trying new foods are particular passions of mine. My body is my temple and I (almost) always aim to put the very best into her - and, as such, I refrain from smoking and other substances and drink socially only on rare occasions (this does not, by the way, imply judgment on those who do).
I am a demure but ------- person who enjoys her ------ity and the effect it has on others. I am socially reserved and yet friendly and outgoing, and I readily seek to make connections with the people I meet.
I am deeply spiritually inclined but not "religious" in any traditional sense, and I am (generally) open-minded and tolerant save for closed-mindedness and intolerance.
I am looking for friendship, companionship, intimacy, and maybe more, depending upon how we connect. ideally you will be intelligent, gentle, and personable - but above all, a gentleman who knows how to treat a woman as a woman. I prefer an older man who is physically fit, secure in himself (and in his wants and needs), and of some means.
I am not necessarily desirous of commitment in the traditional sense - relationships can take many forms - so long as openness and honesty are at the heart of whatever we may be to one another.
