我眼中的自己

Salt of the elite, actively retired, seriously humorous, politically liberal but personally conservative; peaceful pugilist, animal-loving carnivore, smoking health nut, access to wealth but lives humbly, musician who rarely dances, elegant bohemian, loves people but is wary of humanity, somewhat wounded healer, sober addict (> 30 years.) Hopeless romantic with a sarcastic streak; too old for drama, to young to give up!

I'm here because at my age, all my friends are married (I've come close a couple of times) with kids and/or grandchildren, and many live a good ways away, so I'm not meeting people at parties. As administrative issues sucked the joy out of my career, and I don't need to work any more, I don't, so I'm not meeting people professionally.

我理想的对象

Ultimately I'd like to find THE ONE. Call me shallow if you must, but I do seek someone younger: It would be one thing if I met a partner in our 20's and grew older together; I'd still be able to see the hot young girl she is/was when I look at her. I have a hard time doing that with folks I might meet now who are closer to my age; rarely (if ever) do I find myself attracted. So there's that. Could well be that I'm chasing a pipe dream, but in my heart of hearts, I'd like something that looks, feels, and behaves like a real-world relationship, and which might actually develop into that.
