. . . in my opinion, it isn't being alone, heck I like my own company. Rather, I think it's waking up every day knowing you are next to the wrong person. I'm tired of 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. 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 intense displays of passion. I relate best to intelligent women who are self-aware and have high emotional intelligence 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 or have just an online affair. 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. 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 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. I'm tired of doing most of them 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 girlfriend.

If you are straightforward with me, open-minded, honest, and are an attractive lady of 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 is all about patience, persistence, perseverance, positivity, and purpose. Can you relate?
