Beowulfman, 63

I'm an intelligent idealist and humanist who appreciates kindness and a generous spirit. I value a good sense of humor and an open mind. I prize affection and communication. I have a full and active life so I need someone who can keep pace. I am a liberal, without apology. I am a man of wit and grace, distressed by bigotry and hypocrisy. I adore my family and friends. I will keep you on your toes, challenge you to grow, and lift you up when you need a hand, and hope that you do the same for me. I am looking for a secure woman who is not afraid of intellectual and emotional intimacy, is passionate about life, and values honesty, introspection, and personal growth. She knows how to give and values herself enough to feel comfortable embracing and accepting what I can give to her in return. I am looking for a polite woman who will appreciate and respect me; a woman of knowledge, wisdom, dignity, and humility. She must be gentle, yet strong. She is responsible and knows what is good for her life and scam it without hurting those she cares about. I am looking for a woman to compliment my life, not complete it. I simply would like to fall in love with my best friend
