I am a man (born and raised American, but self-educated and -developed in essential aspects beyond this kind of social-cultural nationality) living long-term in Moscow and seeking a special woman, possibly Russian, for a serious, intimate, hopefully long-term relationship.

She would perhaps be...
intelligentnaya, well-read, cultured; attractive, somewhat sexy; sincere (if somewhat sophisticated), mature (perhaps suffered), loving, tender; not an "emotionally provincial" woman; somewhat independent-spirited; a lively woman. Ready to think, feel, travel and experience. Perhaps about 35-45. (I might perhaps admit to often being attracted to women with longish darkish hair.)

I like intelligent, serious, discussions of history, philosophies, religions, ideas, the condition of mankind; classical music; cultured activities; travel in the world; observing people; suppers with wine; wit; very much like playfullness; quiet, calm intimacy...

I am a Sagittarian (for those who can gain insight from such).

I do not have, nor probably want, children; but I am not against them.

I frankly hate smoking and vulgarity, and try to avoid them when possible.

I want someone who clearly recognizes they are 'outside and above the common crowd'.

I have good work and income, though I view these more as
means than ends in life.

I am a rather serious, very sincere ( "sweet"), yet intense man, with a lively, active sense of humor. Passionate; perhaps somewhat too sensitive and deep feeling; with an interesting biography.

I am in good health; exercize regularly.

Speak English, German, and passable Russian.

I live in the Krylatskoye area of Moscow.

That is perhaps enough for now...
If you are interested in me, please send an email with some biographical information and photo(s)! to:
TaminoMoscow@yahoo.com
and, if appropriate, I will do the same.
(I do not "live" on the internet, so I may not reply for a few days.)

But please note:
While natural scientists have pretty much taken the mystery out of chemistry
per se, I cannot say the same is true for the "chemistry of attraction" between a man and a woman. There are still in my experience "mysteries" here . So, please, if you write to me, yet I do not reply, calmly do not be offended or upset, for it is not always possible to know or say why one is attracted/ive to one person, and yet not another, however fine and interesting that person be in themselves, and to another.
There is much that I might say about my views of life, mankind and world, but if may be worth saying that my summary now would be:
live deeply, but dont expect the world to change.
And I, by personal character and custom, prefer discussing aspects of e.g. Faust, to fiddling in a garage with a car, or going fishing!
