. . .  isn't what you feel when you’re alone, rather, it's waking up every day knowing you are next to the wrong person. I'm tired being someone else’s last priority, my emotional and physical needs being neglected for years now.

I'm not sure how many (if any) real women are out here. But if there is one who happens to read my post, maybe this will catch her eye. I'm looking for a woman who I can't wait to chat with each morning and see as often as our hectic lives allow, for fun, romance, and eventually sharing intense passion. I relate best to intelligent women who are self-aware and have a sense of humor too. Be real about who you are and what you want. Life's too short to play silly games.

I'm only looking to connect with ladies in the NYC and Long Island area. Sorry, but I'm not looking to travel over bridges or through tunnels to meet someone. Nor do I want to have just an online affair, so please be willing to meet. I find younger women attracted to me as I am to them. But, please be at least 28 y.o.

I'm not changing my situation due to my circumstances and don’t expect you to, either. Ideally, you're in the same boat. Mutual attraction is important, so please be HWP, a non-smoker and D/D free. A plus if you are petite or fit. Race and religion are not important to me. If you're not willing to share photos, please don't ask for mine. Reciprocity is important.

What you'll get in me -- An intelligent, very handsome, witty (often sarcastic), romantic, professionally successful, open-minded, caring, passionate man who has a high emotional IQ that is looking for someone to spoil -- emotionally and physically. I have so many hobbies and love to do so many things, the list is too long to write here. Boating season is right around the corner, so if you like being on the water, that’s a big plus. I'm tired doing most things on my own, so I'm hoping I can find a companion here. There isn't much I'll say "No" to trying, so if you have your own ideas, bring them on. I want to make you laugh, wine you, and dine you -- like a part-time girlfriend.

If you are straightforward with me, open-minded, honest, and are an attractive lady with substance, maybe I'm that unicorn you just might be seeking. I have a lot to offer the right lady. I know you're out there somewhere ... find me. My journey has been all about patience, persistence, perseverance, positivity, and purpose. Can you relate?
