I write personal ads because I have this unrealistic fantasy in my head that someday a woman will read my post and my profile and something inside will just click for both of us. Physically, mentally, emotionally, we'll connect. We'll fit together into each other's lives effortlessly.

Truthfully, any true connection takes effort. We both have to be putting in close to equal amounts. That being said, what is it that I'm looking for?

Intellectual and conversational connection first and foremost. If you cannot hold an interesting conversation, this isn't going to work.

Physical attraction has to be present. I don't have a specific "type" when it comes to race/age/body type, but if I don't feel a stirring in my pants when I think about you naked then we're not going to work together. I also realize I am far from being tall, dark, and handsome so am very realistic and hope you are also

If the above meet your desires, I'd love to begin the conversation. I'd love to start something that doesn't just fall off in a few message exchanges.
