About me and who I'm looking for

About me:

Chronological age; 60. 'Real Age' test result; 49.5
5'11"/ 160lb (Trim/ solid; Physically and emotionally healthy. All original parts in excellent 45yr. old condition (some 20yr) except for 5% grey locks. I'm independent, strong, assertive but gentle, articulate/expressive, smart and romantic. I believe open, honest communication is the foundation of any healthy relationship. Totally monogamous but need and enjoy separate time.

No chemical or other addictions - past or present. No STD -ever. Never abusive. No criminal record (FBI clearance). Excellent credit. Verifiable background/ credentials. Enjoy: fireside chats/cuddling; Flying (private); sailing; downhill/xc skiing; wildlife photography; tennis; hiking & walks w/ dogs; horseshoes; some golf. Sharing time with two sons (30s), two granddaughters. Occasionally smoke pipe-outdoors only.

Worked 10 years after college in psychiatric treatment of adolescents. Self-employed last 20 years: renovated and operate small office building and manage residential real estate land development/ conservation project in Minnesota. Semi-retired.

Can build a house from footing to fixtures, share decisions, give (and receive) expert massage. I'm a decent cook and a responsive partner. Turn-offs: Dishonesty; corruption; passive, aggressive or compulsive behavior; bigotry; 90% of country-western music.

Residence: Summer: Lake Pepin, Minnesota (sort of a Lake Tahoe of the Midwest); from Spring-Autumn; on one of the world’s largest winged migration routes. A Golden or bald eagle soars by at eye level 100 feet away nearly every day. Winter: Santa Barbara, CA for over 10 years ‘though I’m now more drawn to Big Sur/ Carmel area or north of S.F. I’m open to west coast being primary home. Family: Two sons (30s) and two granddaughters in Minneapolis whom I talk with 1-2 times a week and usually see each month.

I'm looking for:

Seeking Slender/Trim lady who Sees Ocean, Mountains and No Daily Freeway in her Future.

She's self-directed, confident, expressive, decisive, emotionally healthy, warm woman - 'uncoupled' at least 6 mo. - Without Children at home; who enjoys downhill skiing; prefers living outside city with mountains, forests and ocean/ lake view. I appreciate a woman who has a mission or craft which challenges, but does not consume, her. I'm especially attracted to a woman with long hair. Goals: - To have less business interaction. - To relate more with friends, family, nature. - More photography, flying, sailing, tennis and travel. and most of all; - Sharing life with an exceptional woman whom I'd searched the planet for.

Ultimately; a balanced synchronization of physical, emotional, sexual, mental, political, lifestyle, time, financial, power, decision making and philosophical/ religious components. Call it 'Chemistry Plus’. I believe sex reflects rather than creates real intimacy.
