i am a mid-western guy who is entering the dating scene again. my time is spent either at work or with my two s. i am intelligent and love to talk(argue?) about politics, religion, current events, etc. i also like to read, and i write romantic poetry. that doesn't mean that i am a wimp. i also like to play basketball and take long walks. i am about 5'10" tall, 170 lb., fair-skinned, with red hair and a goatee. i like to take my time and make sure that my partner is every bit as satisfied as me. candlelight and incense help to create a mood of euphoria and escape; when i am with a woman, my focus is entirely on her.

My Ideal Person i would like to meet a woman who is smart, and knows what she wants. i need to be able to carry on a conversation that goes beyond tv guide and the national enquirer. while a "quickie" might be ok sometimes, i prefer a woman who is willing to take the time to really explore her sexuality.
