Retired from teaching, do a lot of cycling and some hiking and would enjoy partner who does the same. Financially independent and expect same of partner who needs to enjoy a laugh, a good meal, great conservation and likes to dance. Diet on the conservative side and I have made my own sauerkraut. Prefer outside activities to maintain fitness. Keep informed by reading newspapers and journals.Will respect partner's feelings to help maintain a relationship. Find myself attractive to partners who smile and have sparkle in their eyes.
