would you like to feel safe secure special & loved? do you prefer simple over extravagant? do you love nurturing a beautiful garden & enjoying nature? have you prioritized tranquility & maintaining a healthy mind & slender body? are you willing to share clear open honest communication? would you appreciate equality in all aspects, seeking no more than you give? would you love learning from & teaching your partner? do you see & make the most of opportunities rather than always seeing obstacles & feeling entitled to more? are you respectful of differences in others rather than expecting others to conform to your beliefs? are you affectionate loyal playful responsible & filled with love to share with a reciprocal partner?
i enjoy being helpful when my help is appreciated & not taken for granted. i appreciate balanced playfulness & responsibility. i appreciate subtleties in all areas & don't like feeling overwhelmed by extremes of any kind. i make the most of & fully enjoy what exists in a relationship rather than dwell on what could/should be.
i'm a well-educated professional who cares about people. i love dogs but am very allergic to cats. i've always prioritized keeping myself healthy fit & trim. i've always dreamt of being in a relationship where both always feel safe secure & special; prioritizing respectful caring & openly educating each other without pushing our agenda on the other with 'shoulds/shouldn'ts' criticism demands or yelling.
i don't offer empty promises to entice. i'm not what most women seek but i know the value of what i bring to a relationship. my moderate income isn't what most women expect. i'm agnostic though respectful of other beliefs (as long as those beliefs are also respectful of other respectful beliefs). lacking cartilage in my knee limits certain types of physical activity though i still maintain my self-built home/farm alone & love hiking in nature. i have a wide range of interests & am willing to expand on them within my ability
