Strength and tenderness are my usual combination.
Strength and tenderness aren't opposites, but my natural combination. I love learning new things. Lightness, humor, and zero drama - I value that in people and try to give it myself. I'm looking for a man who knows what he wants and knows how to show it.

I'm attracted to a man who is reliable and stands on his own two feet - one who knows what he wants from life and is able to take responsibility. Maturity is important: not just in age, but in his attitude toward life and people. I'm attracted when a man sees me as an equal partner, not just his other half - one who knows how to negotiate and respect boundaries. I value respect, honesty, and the ability to listen - not just talk, but truly listen. And, of course, warmth - care that's felt in the little things, not for show, as well as a lighthearted attitude and a sense of humor, without which any relationship quickly becomes difficult.

I'm looking for serious men from Europe! (I have two children, 18 and 12, both independent). Please don't waste my time. I'm asking for serious, long-term relationships! I'm looking for an athletic man who stands firmly on his own two feet and knows what he wants in life! (I look 40 years younger than my age and am slim.)
