For those of you who understand the shortness of life, you’ll appreciate my direct and blunt nature here as well as when we are getting to know each other. I don't sugarcoat. • Calm, passionate, intense • Authentic. Old soul, young at heart • Confident and stoic. Introspective • Independent, but close with my family • Not conservative. Not liberal. • Not religious. • Genuine, authentic, direct; no game playing nor BS and appreciate the same from a woman • US+EU citizen (Italian and Greek American) I value connection, emotional intelligence, health, growth and abundance mindset, intelligence, maturity, and good communication. Interested to connect with an amazing woman. Someone who is genuine, authentic, kind, fun, funny, intelligent, generally positive, generally optimistic about the future, open-minded, a good communicator, and mature. I find I have the strongest connections with a woman who is an old soul, but young at heart. A good relationship with her family, calm, passionate, interesting, and interested. Please be an independent thinker, generally happy, and looking to add to your life as opposed to needing a man to fill a void. Do be open-minded, able to communicate or at least make an effort, and agree that happiness is a choice. Please don't waste my time and I won’t waste yours either. No one is perfect, myself included, but this should give you an idea of the type of woman I’d resonate with the most.
