I'm a bachelor, divorced, who is happy but not totally content withouit a partner. I worked for a large company for many years, retired, and am now instructing in a community college. I lived in the LA area for several years, but moved back to the midWest (Indiana). I've had to do some tradeoffs in my new small town America life, but am satisfied with this because I now own my home and am near family again. I'm usually easy going and laid back but can work very hard to reach a goal. I'm honest and forthright, dependable, and considerate. I may be a little stiff when first meeting someone, but that changes when I know someone and I can actually be funny at times.
I like computing (graphics & Internet), fishing, camping, traveling, and especially reading. I do like nice things but materialism isn't necessarily "life" to me. I do some basics of cooking, am fairly neat and clean and keep my home that way. And, I am not afraid of being open-minded and trying new things - I took my MBA at 50 years of age and, of course, I'm trying this.
My Ideal Person:
First of all, I am looking for someone already resident in the United States or someone who travels here.
Secondly, the beard and mustache can be easily removed for the right person - this is just my most current picture.
I wish to meet someone who is relocatable and hopefully will become a partner, companion, and friend, possibly leading to marriage - age 36-56, weight proportinate to height (slim to average), educated, honest, and financially solvent. Also, this person should have no former or current gambling, drugs or stds problems. And she should also be someone who does not believe that living in a small community is the end of the world (no large shops, boredom, distance to family, etc.). In this age of transportation and communications large cities, and the world, have become much smaller and nearer. There are some great tradeoffs living in a small community versus living in a very large crowded, noisy, smoggy, city. There is less crime, it is more peaceful, you have space for lawns and gardens, and shopping just isn't that far away.
I believe a woman should be loyal and trustworthy in a relationship and still be able to retain the individuality to work on her ideas and search for her goals while maintaining a positive and active relationship.
