Date someone special from United States. I'm tall, blond/gray, fun and fit renaissance man. I do not have tattoos or other bodily adornments save for the scars and extra holes from a sometimes tumultuous misspent youth. I am a relative clean "package" with no baggage but plenty of issues. I enjoy the romantic poetry of Robert Burns and Rudyard Kipling among others. History...Dust Bowl/military--American/British/Canadian. Music...Romantic ballads/CW/Classic Rock. Woodworking/home repairs/old cars/trees...Ideally you will be at least 5'9", a strong-willed independent woman with a mind of her own. Hopefully a wild side with spontaneity to boot. Keep in mind that even if you are 6' wearing 4" heels, we will still line up for the "slow dances". I am most comfortable with a woman of substance more than one veiled with a superficial veneer. I am not cowed by strong, independent, successful women. Paraphrasing one of my literary heros, "I've walked with queens and commoners alike". Loyalty is a highly desirable trait as is honesty and it cuts both ways. In my personal life as well as my professional life, I do not protract losses...I cut them up-front. I also have a few personal caveats...Do not compare me to your father, do not backseat drive the car and do not have dysfunctional or problematic children be they twixt twenty and forty!
