If only I sought a moody woman who wants a tall, wealthy, hunky-attractive guy to provide her with the best sex of her life, the finest things, gourmet vegetarian dining and non-stop 5-star travel. A woman who needs oodles of "me time" for clubbing, concerts, road trips with friends, dabbling in drugs, personal trainer work-outs, etc. A very religious woman--no matter what her religion today--who wants a guy who is only interested in what interests her. A reformed nymphette who wants a male grateful for any rare intimacies. A child-woman who views "age appropriateness," intelligence and or devotion as buzz kill.

There are so many of them on this and other sites...who believe they're amazing finds.

Can you recommend a place where I might find a smart, accomplished, stable, sane, solvent, sweet, modest, contented and trustworthy woman seeking the same for a devoted partnership notable for simplicity, reasonableness and mutual satisfaction? I'm a widower who had a blissful, soul-enriching marriage. And who stupidly believes such love can exist again.

Taking advantage of retirement with absolutely no strings or commitments.

Treasuring that which is worthy of being treasured. Ignoring that which warrants no attention. Valuing the genuine and enduring. Getting to the point.

Good people see me as being one of them. The devious and mean avoid me.

I don't have particularly strong favorites among these things. Instead, the most important, pleasing and memorable items are things shared in a loving, supportive relationship...serendipitous finds, the first (or last) time enjoying something my love introduced me to, the things we promised each other we'd do next.

Past favorites are not as important as those things that will grow to become OUR favorites and treasured memories.

--The friendship of gentle and good souls.
--Knowing that I NEED nothing other than the company and support of people of goodwill.
--A purpose.
--Hope.
--Love.
--Healthy skepticism of everything.

My deceased wife who was far too wonderful to have suffered the health issues she faced for so long.

At home (or walking) with my best buddy...my dog (actually, "her" dog).

What I've said so far isn't private or personal enough?
