:)Discrete professional that enjoys good company, conversation, and laughs. I do not take myself too seriously. I am successful in my career and hope to share that with someone I trust and can explore with in the future. However, I am not desparate to jump into anything too soon. I have recently lost my soulmate to cancer and I am looking to expand my social network of friends with similar interests as time goes by. I am looking for someone that I can care for and who will care for me in return. The sex is truly secondary (since I work so much, I've almost forgotten what it is) but companionship and coming home to someone whom I love and loves me is key. It doesn't matter if he had sex with someone else during the day. I am not jealous as long as your heart is mine and you tell me about your plans before they happen or immediately after. My true love of 16 years and I were in an open relationship and I feel confident that even though he may have been able to play the field, his heart and soul was with me. I know I will find something similar again. Maybe not here, but somewhere. Just a little venting: It amazes me how many people cannot accept a sincere compliment based on their sexual orientation and those of others. For a primarily sex site, where everyone pays for subscription, it seems there is a lot of intolerance. Certainly, preferences should be respected but to refuse to accept a statement of admiration for what another has achieved is beyond me. We all receive comments from those who may list themselves as straight, bi, or gay and may not be our interest. But to treat them as if you hold some higher standard is wrong, if not arrogant. Some seem to think so highly of themselves that no one else could care for, or admire them, as much as they do the per in their mirror. Just remember, as we all go through life, the day will come when you will want a sincere compliment and they're likely to be few and far between.

My Ideal Person Someone sincere, kind, and has manners. I cannot stand rudeness, someone who is boastful, pretentious, arrogant, or someone who perceives himself to be so hot that he can never be ugly (because his attitude has just made him hideous and very difficult to tolerate).
