Open-minded atheist, empathetic listener, and sincere romantic

Romance, the love of family and friends, and the respect of others are the main things that make our short lives worth living. Since ongoing honest and kind communication is the foundation of any successful relationship, that's what I bring to the table - and likewise expect from my partner. I am very patient most of the time, listening carefully with my heart engaged. I am not one to leap to ill-founded conclusions, preferring to give others the benefit of the doubt wherever feasible. To be clear, one thing I have no patience with is bigotry of any stripe. In such circumstances I keep my cool, but I won't "go along to get along" with mean-spiritedness. Otherwise, I am quite playful much of the time, even goofy, making odd connections between my surroundings and this or that old commercial, song, movie, or TV show. I also love to dance and to sing; it's not unusual for me to start grooving around the kitchen to a favorite song.

Looking For

Must haveIntelligence, Good Looks, Humor, Empathy, Sensitivity, Wit, Thoughtfulness
Look for in a partnerInnate intelligence, kindness, and a good sense of humor are the three most important attributes I seek in a partner. As for the physical, I know that beauty is only skin deep, so I do my best to factor that aspect less than perhaps some other men might - still, the sparks from visual and physical appeal remain of some importance in my romantic chemistry. Regarding intelligence, I made a point of saying "innate (= inborn) intelligence," rather than emphasizing a certain level of education. Yes, I've spent years in college and graduate school, and, yes, a comparably well-educated partner would certainly be most welcome indeed, everything else being equal. But if perchance that isn't you - please know that the education gap really isn't that much of an obstacle where the human heart is concerned, for I have had very important relationships throughout my life with individuals with significantly less academic experience. As valuable as a shared higher education is for creating a common pool of resources and values for a couple, it is emotional intelligence that is more important for healthy communication, and that isn't something you get at a university. Of course, no two people will ever be perfectly aligned, but I place a high value on our both being "low drama" and consistently having each other's back. Mutual respect, patience, loyalty, honesty, compassion, and gentleness between partners then carry far more weight in a successful relationship than does mere book learning. Beyond these essentials of temperament, I should add the following: As a quite youthful-looking and -feeling 52-year-old, I'm searching for a woman who is likewise comfortable in her own skin and who fully embraces the joy of regular physical intimacy. Let us live life to the fullest while we still can! (or more classically expressed: "Gaudeamus igitur juvenes dum sumus!")
