I'm an easy-going, educated professional who escapes to my self-designed/built home/farm in the country. Though I'm found where the cowboy roams, I’m more into plants than livestock (CA Rare Fruit Growers Assn.) though have 1 dog & enjoy wildlife. I’m allergic to cats. I teach people to have healthy, quality relationships, a private practice in Canyon Country. I keep myself in good shape mentally/physically (6’/160#). I'm a functional introvert, preferring to know where I fit in. I'm creative, a jack-of-all-trades, enjoy woodworking, general repairs & volunteer with Habitat For Humanity & appreciate the arts. Communication is the key to any relationship, feeling safe to be totally vulnerable. I'm very close to my son who will be leaving for college this year. I was raised Jewish, but am no longer interested in organized religion.
I’m seeking the rare woman who truly values a quality equal partnership, seeing any financial, material or lifestyle gain as a bonus, not her primary objective. I seek a whole partner, not someone with low self-esteem who expects me to make her whole. I want an intelligent, tranquil, playful, creative, sensual woman who keeps herself healthy & fit mentally & physically (valuing tone over size/prefer small build), openly communicative (not expecting a mind reader), yet not talkative, focusing on what you bring to a relationship, not what you can get from it (offering all you seek), enjoying nature, gardening, being at home, occasional day/weekend getaways (cultural/educational events, concerts in the park, hiking, bed & breakfast, etc). You prefer simple pleasures & subtleties to extremes or materialism & value equality, teamwork & simple country living. We’ll share out of desire, not need. You're drug/disease-free & don’t need alcohol. You don’t live for shopping, travel or any wild or extreme lifestyle. You enjoy closeness, without being clingy, being an active participant in sensual massage, tender kissing & mutual discovery & growth. You have no more than one child at home (16yrs or older). Chronological age is irrelevant, though compatibility can’t be compromised. If you live outside the San Fernando, Santa Clarita or Antelope Valleys, please let me know what you feel makes us an ideal couple. I'm not into long-distance relationships.
