Meet single man from California, United States. I'm a self-made businessman and I give back to the business community by lobbying on behalf of small businesses and their interests in Washington DC. I enjoy lively debates and rhetoric laced with biting wit.
Who I am:
I’m a Renaissance Man [classified now as a Metro-Man], born to the wrong century, perhaps a dinosaur, probably a pariah. I drink scotch at 5:30, eat red meat, smoke cigars and love beautiful women. I’m a knight whose armor needs no polishing and although I might need a boost to mount my steed, the dragons I slay are not windmills. I am not judgmental but I live by certain standards and, by example, encourage those around me to strive to achieve their goals.
On Women:
I'm "Old School" and a romantic. I believe women (real women) are special; to be adored and treasured, needing flowers in abundance, who appreciate doors being opened for them, wrapped in the finest silks or unwrapped in day-long spa treatments or just unwrapped one petal at a time.
I travel extensively for my business but am notorious for my spontaneity when it comes to "ducking out". My favorites are in Europe: Paris, Milan, Rome, Barcelona and the Aegean. I'm especially attracted to ancient Greek and Roman sites so Turkey and the near East are a fascination to me. Would you love to know someone who would call you and say “I’m flying in this afternoon. Pack for 9 days, bring your passport and meet me in baggage claim at……”?
I'm rather adept in the kitchen and in my youth, had a short but stellar career as a musician. Nevertheless, I remain forever the frustrated carpenter.
Thanks to my grandmother who raised me and was in the "rag" business, I appreciate and have a keen eye for fashion and what looks great on a woman. I may, if indulged, frequently show up with something that catches my eye and whispers your name especially the finer French or Italian designers.
Ideal Partner:
First and foremost you must be a Lady (do not reply if you don't know the meaning). I would enjoy meeting a confident yet sensitive woman who could hold her own at a power broker's reception and still remain sensual and uninhibited personally. My ideal partner would be versed in the arts, well read in the classics with an interest in history, philosophy, current affairs and loves to travel. She must have an ardent sense of humor and knows and appreciates the finer things in life.
