Maybe I'm old fashioned when it comes to relationships, but I believe in nurturing. Unfortunately, one of the legacies of the "I-I, me- me", 60's generation, is that people have forgotten the true essence of love, which is giving. I don't mean it in an altruistic sense. There is a selfish motive behind the desire to give. It brings the giver pleasure and happiness to function that way.
The other social trend with which I find myself out of step, is Feminism. Women have come to view nurturing, as a sign of weakness, and an act of subservience to men. This misguided notion is not only contrary to a woman's nature, but it is very harmful to a relationship. Men need and thrive on the unique kind of nurturing that a woman can provide. Men have traditionally responded with a desire to protect and care for women. Unfortunately, what used to be considered chivalrous, is now often viewed as chauvinistic. If a man tries to open a door for a lady these days, he's just as likely to be sneered at, as he is to receive a simple, gracious thank you.
My fulfillment and gratification in a relationship comes from being able to give to my partner. It might be as simple as just accepting him for who he is. Whatever his interest and whatever his needs, I would want him to pursue them. If sharing them with someone would enhance his life, then it would be my pleasure to do so. Well, I hope that you don't find all of this too philosophical. But isn't how one functions in a relationship a lot more important than some silly astrological sign?!
I'm very fit, as I have been exercising with weights daily, all of my life.
I'm the glamorous type, so if you're looking for the "girl next door", I'm probably not the one for you.
MUSIC is my greatest passion. I play guitar, dobro, piano, mandolin and sing. Baseball, aviation, and the investment world are also passions of mine, which might provide common interests with a man. And, of course, I like most things that other women do, like cooking and shopping.
I enjoy an occasional glass of red wine, but I don't smoke or use drugs.
I spend winters in Costa Rica, and Summer and Fall in the Blue Ridge Mts of Western N. C. However I would be willing to relocate anywhere with the right man.
My Ideal Person:
I am not nearly as interested in your "looks", as I am in your heart, character and personality. I would like to share your interest, and to be able to give my heart to someone worthy in mind and spirit.
If you share my interest, that would be a bonus, especially if you are a pilot, a musician, or if you are really into weight training. I must confess that I adore muscular men, although that's not a requirement. I do prefer taller men because of my height.
Please don't worry about how handsome you are. Good looks are not what I find attractive about a man.
You might appreciate that I do enjoy many things that most men like. However, more importantly, I am eager and willing to acquire new interest to enhance the relationship. After all, isn't giving, sharing and accepting the essence of love?
