Is there anything more difficult than trying to describe yourself? Well, I'd say that it's true about me that I...love to travel; read; spend time with my grandkids; listen to music (my fave classical piece is Scheherazade); keep up with politics and world events. I am dedicated to my fitness, and work out at least 4-5 times a week. "Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing".

PLEASE READ...I DON'T WANT TO SEEM RUDE, BUT MY STRONG PREFERENCE IS FOR THIN OR SLIM!

hmmm...well, she is a lifetime learner; she is willing to work at maintaining herself (I have a strong preference for slim women); she is emotionally stable; she is active, and enjoys some sports. She has an intellectual side, and can hold her own in a conversation. She is capable of real intimacy (and I believe it is the need of a deep feeling of connectedness to another that all of us yearn for) And, finding a woman who has a keen interest in traveling (especially by train) and exploring new places and cultures would be great.
