People tend to always post with specifics about the type of person that they're looking for. . . after years of fishing with that particular line myself, I've realized that doesn't typically work. The person that we end up wanting tends to be the person that we least envisioned ourselves with. . . it's always some kind of enigmatic quality that winds up drawing you to a person. So, I won't say that I'm looking for a slim, sexy, hot and beautiful woman.... because, the woman that I want may end up being short,chubby, and fair. Who knows exactly what their looking for?.... Anyone who stops at some pre-prescribed schema of their ideal mate is simply cheating themselves out of a world of possibilities. Be like Christopher Columbus and explore.. :)All I know is that what I'm looking for gives me a certain feeling. . . that feeling that I am fully seen/understood and appreciated. That, even though our interests may be vastly different, we want to immerse ourselves into, and explore, each other's worlds. I'm looking for someone who makes me think, and makes me laugh, and makes me want to do things that I normally might never consider trying with anyone else. . . someone who thinks outside of the box and is adventurous. Someone who takes risks (within reason, of course) because, without risk and adventure life becomes a stagnant routine. I want us to feel comfortable together, but never too comfortable..... we should be able to read each other like a book..... but maybe like one of those "choose your own adventure" books (anyone remember those?) wherein there is always some element of surprise. I want us to have amazing communication..... to the point that we could never say anything to each other that could shock or offend the other person. I want us to live as independent people with their own lives, passions, and ambitions.... who support each other through each of our endeavors and who do not need to be attached at the hip, yet miss each other terribly when we are apart. We have our "little ways" together that others need not necessarily understand and can exchange a thought with a glance. Our love is irrepressible and uncompromising. I'd like the mere thought of your scent and your touch to make my heart pound and drive me wild with desire. We would have an incredible, passionate, sex life.... full of the same kind of "joie de vivre" as everything else we share together. I'd like us to be able to explore all of our fantasies together -- no matter how "taboo" or how tame.... we revel in our sexual prowess and open-minedness, because our trust in each other is both explicit and implicit.... What can I tell you about me that would make any difference in finding the kind of woman I look for here? I would rather reveal myself through dialogue but, I can tell you that I'm very artistic, kind of quirky, loyal, open-minded, educated, driven, and compassionate. I don't hold anyone up to standards that I can't hold myself up to and I detest all forms of hypocrisy. Typically, I lean towards the center-left politically, I enjoy all styles of music..... very eclectic, am an avid filmgoer, love to read both fiction and nonfiction, and I have a real hunger for knowledge, adventure, and... mind blowing sex.
