I am looking for my mindmate and companion to grow old together in a serious, close, bonded, exclusive, committed relationship, as a shared and reciprocal safe haven. My wish is a relationship according to the 'Egalitarian Rational Commitment Paradigm'. A web search will lead you to my blog, where you learn more about this concept.

I do NOT expect you to ~ be taller than myself (5'4") ~ be wealthy with a high social status ~ be a strong and muscular stud I want to love, not to puke. I do NOT want any contact with men, who evoke my nausea, because they are: ~ cheaters; ~ promiscuous; ~ looking for the use of female bodies without long-term commitment; ~ consumers of ography
