In His Own Words
About him
I'm upbeat, optimistic, successful, very well travelled, athletic, (skiing, golf, sailing,) very fit, eclectic interests ,well read, current events ,politics, stylish but not GQ . I spend winters in my home in the Bahamas with trips to NYC for opera, museums and reactivating the mind. Summers in my home in London.Travel in between.I enjoy dancing esp salsa, swing.
I believe in romantic love... couples holding hands when walking , kissing in the museum, briefly catching each others eyes at a dinner party as if no one else was in the room.....I believe in chemistry .. ( "coup de foudre" )....you know pretty soon ..... often the deeper friendship and companionship develops later.
I believe trust is a" sine qua non" in a relationship.
I would like to know a woman who is sportive, and would like to be a partner in my interesting life.
About his ideal match
Fit...whether it is from sport e.g skiing, tennis, golf or from jogging or yoga..she will enjoy some physical activities on a fairly regular basis.
She will want her freedom...freedom to express herself, to contradict me..she can even be feisty but not domineering. She will enjoy many of the same interests.
She will want to look attractive, to enjoy being feminine. She will take my breath away in a new dress (or no dress), with a new hairstyle. She will enjoy dancing at parties...and will be reasonably good .
She will enjoy the finer things in life...but will also be a trooper and not complain if first class is fully booked of we didn't get the best room in the hotel. She will expect me to open doors for her when we go out , to stand up when she returns to the table in restaurants.
She will want some quiet time for herself and will give me the same.
