Would you rather chase a dead end fantasy, or accept a sad reality?

I am smart, driven, educated, creative, fun, serious, assertive, passionate, emotional, responsible, together 40 year old with a zest for life and travel. Looking for someone like minded... likes to work out but yet is well-read and doesn't live at the gym, homebody who still likes to go out occasionally, and a travel partner to enjoy each other's company for a long time to come... I am not one to sleep around and I would expect the same of the person that I am with.

I am financially responsible and independent. I am clean and neat. I have a sense of style, I can cook, and clean grudgingly (thank god for sirvientas!). I'm looking for a person that wants to be with me, and wants me to be with. I have not given up hope though...The people on here who are all about games and BS should get a life, and stop playing those of us who are honest and real and truly looking for that special one, not just looking to hookup- there are much easier ways to go about this I must say, and it doesn't require one to be online.

There is another thing- I can never understand why someone would put up a profile without pictures. Please do not contact me if you have no pictures in your profile (Funny, but I still get several winks a week from people without pictures-obviously they are looking at my pictures without reading the profiles). It's unreal, and inexplicable in this day and age, unless you're hiding something or have issues (And even if you do not, do not write me unless there are at least 2 recent pictures in your profile- respect my wishes please!).

To those of you who do this, I say- get a life! Come in live in the present! It is almost 2008... Thanks to those who have been kind and nice, and shame on those who contacted me and/or met me just to get off. I believe in social responsibility, and in giving back to those who have less than us (which is about 95% of the world). Furthering positive stereotypes, and disavowing negative ones, make this world a better place. Thank goodness the asses won...maybe we'll have more balance and a greater appreciation for the middle and lower classes now- It's hard to understand this human need for more, more, more.

There comes a point where too much is just overdoing it. Nothing like seeing a smile, or a ray of hope in someone's face, when you help someone out who has less than you. Especially children, who are our future, and the elderly, which is where most of us are going in this great, great world.
