I live alone in a spacious house in a small beautiful town. The house is surrounded by trees and shrubs and is located on a large tract of land in an attractive location. There is plenty of open space around the house and in the general vicinity. I was a professor for many years. At present, I have a second career in management. I am financially comfortable. I believe that a husband and wife team should treat each other with dignity and respect. I believe that a good marriage should be based on love and trust. I also believe that a husband and wife team must always be forgiving and supportive of each other. To me the ideal husband and wife are happy, understanding, monogamous, and loyal by nature, and do not depend on a therapist to advise them on how to get along in order to be happy. I am physically and mentally healthy and can perform all expected activities very well. My friends tell me that I have a pleasant professional appearance and look much younger than my age. I am tolerant of religious and cultural differences. and believe in strict equality between men and women. While there are many attractive women herein, the woman I am looking for must fit the description of match, below. Only sincere women should respond. Any games or tricks do not work with me. Looking For: I am seeking an attractive, educated, intelligent and healthy woman for a long term relationship or marriage. The lady friend/wife I am looking for is a very special and steady person. Being so special, she can expect to be treated with loving care and affection throughout our lives together. I expect her to find joy in watching the beauty of nature, in contributing to worthy causes, in the knowledge that she is loved and loving, in being safe around me, in being free to be herself and to pursue innocent fun, in being free to take time and space to be alone sometimes, and in being free to do whatever pleases her so long as she is loving, loyal and responsible, rather than finding joy only in thrills, unusual adventures, or uncommon excitements. Further, she can expect no intervention from me against her religious belief and practice or the lack thereof. Yes, my prospective lady friend/wife will be the master of her own destiny throughout our marriage.
