I was trained as a Classical Ballet dancer. I took my first degree in Classics (Greek and Latin), my second in Mathematics, and my third in Chemistry. I am literate in 7 languages, and usually spend my summers keeping myself reasonably literate in one of them. Despite my classical background, I am very much a modernist. You will find artist, humanist, mathematician, and scientist. Mostly you'll find me disarmingly and irrepressibly human.

I've chosen the things I have chosen for absolutely no other reason than I thought they were beautiful.

You are content, self-content, and would rather whisper than shout it. You are kind, compassionate, warm, consistent. You have a playful spirit, an easy smile, and a healthy disregard for the more prescribed trappings of maturity. You are calm, and you engender calm. You are over 40 (perhaps 45 ), because a shared sensibility brings it's own effortless rewards.

A brief aside regarding age: I do understand that that there are younger women who prefer to date older men. If this is you, that is fine, I am happy to talk to you -- I never unequivocally exclude. The above is a preference, because I absolutely love women in my own age group. But I am certainly aware that in matters of the heart, one can never prescribe....

I truly enjoy, and crave, the company and inspiration of highly intelligent, polished, well-educated, sensitive, aware, three-dimensional, calm, mature, philosophically-inclined, open-minded and creative women. When I am genuinely inspired, I am at my best; and when I am at my best, I can promise a love that will give us wings on the good days, sustain us on the bad days, and generally content us on the days in between. This is not hyperbole. I have no will anymore to share anything less than my best -- it is soul-crushing.

A little playfulness wouldn't hurt here: A direct quote from a friend of mine -- " You're the Scorpioest Scorpio that ever Scorpioed". In all the good ways, I promise.

What I do best: Eschew banality.

Please message me if:

If you DESPISE the phrases "living life to the fullest", "love to laugh", "partner in crime", "soul-mate", "glass half-full", "work hard and play hard", "work in progress", "feeds my soul".

If you think you might enjoy having someone practice Latin hexameters on your body...

Physical appearance, if this should matter to you: 5' 11", 155 lbs, dancer's body. Long curly hair -- think Einstein, but with black hair.

P.S. Any reference in my posting history to kink, BDSM, DDlg, etc. is online theater and persona…. It is NOT the person.

Be safe, be well.
