I am extremely passionate and compassionate. I'm intense with my feelings but like to consider myself well grounded and introspective, especially when it comes to meaningful thoughts, ideas and emotions.

My interests are very eclectic and include the usual suspect activities but I especially enjoy doing simple things with those whom I care about. I can be just as comfortable watching an old movie and eating stale popcorn as I am going out to either of Emeril's restaurants in Vegas. I'm especially fond of cooking. I'm a gourmet wanna be but tired of dinner for one. I’d like to move past my rut of selecting a meal based upon how easy it is to clean up afterwards.

I'm seeking the company of a woman who can compliment and enhance me in adventurous ways. I don't expect, nor do I desire, someone to be a mirror image of me in interests and life passions. I’m committed to expanding my horizons and learning new things. Basically experiencing life in ways I have not yet tried.

The woman who captures my attention will be a peer both intellectually and emotionally. Looks count but I'm so much more interested in the depth of the person and the luminance of her inner qualities. But I will state that when I walk into the room … I want the thrill of knowing the thermal temperature of my woman rises -- just because I'm there.
