lover4real, 60 - Cape Town

I would like to describe myself as a very straightforward person who likes to take things in his stride in a very level headed manner.Life is quite exciting to me as it has galores of opportunities and experiences to offer and i feel one should always make the right use of it. I am adventurous by nature for I like to take up new challenges. It gives me the zeal and impetus to work towards excellence.One thing I firmly believe in is that one should always strive towards individual betterment, in whichever form it may be.Therefore I'm never tired of beginning where others end.

A woman (40 - 67)

If I were to describe myself and what I’m looking for, briefly, it would be someone who’s opinionated, interested, passionate, engaged in the world; someone who is self-made, funny, interesting, a good conversationalist, warm, and puts me at ease. Someone who can relate to my background, or at least find what my family has accomplished impressive and not look down at my modest upbringing. I tend to be attracted to clean cut, white collar types, but again, I try not to be too picky about that sort of thing.
So, any thoughts about how someone who is, comes from a very unconventional background can find someone who’s perfect for them, either online or in person? I'm looking for ANY tips or suggestions or real-life examples of what has worked for you. above all love is the key
