Idahojoe, 80

I'm a yankee gentleman born & raised in Chicago then lived in Indiana for 35 years. I'm far from perfect, but I believe I am a good man. I believe in going out of my way to treat a lady like a lady, & to make sure she is happy & satisfied by doing whatever I can to fulfill her needs & wants. I like to think of myself as a adventerous outdoorsman, but I'm not afraid to admit I have a greater than usual romantic side also, & I enjoy the warmth & softness a man can only feel from the closeness of a woman (or his hunting dog). I love nature & the great outdoors, & I've yet to meet an animal I didn't like (except for that camel that spit on me at the zoo). I like the sound of heavy raindrops beating on the roof & windows, & I love watching lightning bolts flash across the dark sky, & I especially love running around the neighborhood butt naked during a pouring down thunderstorm.
As for the ideal woman I"m searching for to spend the rest of my life with. I'd like her to be easy on the eyes since I'll be looking at her everyday for a long time. I prefer her to be more on the thin side than the heavyset side, or at least somewhere in between. I'd like her to be fun loving, adventerous, frisky,independent & with a good sense of humor. I want her to be willing to do things with me that I like, just as I will do things with her that she likes. I'd like her to be a good conversationalist, debate important things with me, be strong willed enough to stand up to me when she believes she's right, & not cry too loudly when I pull her hair if I lose an argument. I'd like her to be young in mind & heart, still believes S-- can be fun, exciting & enjoyable, & I'd really like her to have close to a 36-24-36 figure (just wishing).
