Hi, I've been in Seattle for close to nine years, am a successful professional, and I have two wonderful kids.

In a nutshell, I'm looking to find a vivacious woman to whom I'm both physically and intellectually attracted. Someone who enjoys or wants to enjoy life to the fullest, who is curious about the world and what it offers, who is an intense valuer, and who is willing to think rationally outside the box and act accordingly. Someone who enjoys being with a man who has a very broad range of interests, and who wants to share those through activity and conversation (whether deep, witty, or otherwise). Someone who enjoys planned and spontaneous actions, and who has a great sense of humor (much more towards the witty/ironic than the sarcastic side).

About me:

Mix of serious and goofy/witty.
Like to plan and be spontaneous.
Confident but not arrogant
Needs good, honest communication. Can converse about anything, since I'm interested in so much.
Not religious at all, but believes in a rational moral code.
Loves to travel - especially road trips. My day job keeps me very busy, and boy, I could use a get away from it all trip!
Likes to dress up once in a while and enjoy the finer things in life.

Getting better in my career, enjoying every moment in raising my kids, and pursuing my piano and singing hobbies.

My height, intelligence, my assortment of interests

Books - classic novels and plays (Ayn Rand and Hugo are favorites)
Movies - love movies from 30s to 50s and some modern ones (anything with Grant, Garbo, early Hepburn, Howard Hawks films, Ernst Lubitsch films)
Music - 60s pop/rock, 80s indie/alternative rock, jazz/standards, romantic classical
Food - I'll try anything but avoid processed foods, grains, sugars

Philosophy
Books and movies
Good friends and conversation
Nice bottle of wine or good Scotch
Occasional hikes/walks
Good food
Scenic drives

My ambitions and goals

Not online!!!

You enjoy stimulating conversation, good food, and active pursuits.
