Piratejoe, 49

Looking for that funny, quirky, pretty girl I am a DC lifer that is currently renovating his boat in SW to live on. It's the best place i've ever lived & i never wish to move. I am smart, funny, attractive, empathetic & in great shape. I am here because I am so tired of the pain that wells up emotionally when I have to tell whomever I have been dating about my affliction when it is time to take things to the next level. The varied reactions have stabbed me in the heart every time (even acceptance) & I never desire to repeat those conversations again. I wish to spend the rest of my days chasing joy instead.
I am looking for someone to share a life with that has the same value set that I have. Honesty, integrety, & an aversion for negativity & conflict. Humor & passion. A sense of adventure. Someone who can find the 1 thing funny in a crappy situation & make it alright. Someone who loves to kiss & spoon & be held & hold in return.
My carreer is set and my reirement fantastic although I do not care if I will ever get filthy rich. Money doesn't hold too much value for me besides it's necessity. I value live experiences above sitting on a mountain of gold.
My one rule is that I feel the need to wander---- once a year at least, going to a country I have never been before and experincing what the world has to offer. Venice is next on my list. I could be persuaded to delay that for an alternative destination by the right person!
