Well I'm also an artist and I play the piano. Next month I'm going to Australia. So I'm not a total fool. I also had a very successful career and I think I'm considered fairly well off financially. Yes, this does reflect my usual day but I crank it up sometimes. I've been to Copenhagen, Florence, London, New York and Amsterdam in the last two years. I think I'm pretty intelligent and have a good sense of humor. My dating life has been fairly dismal but a loser - I don't think so (well except for the romance part). I just mentioned the mountain climbing thing because the woman on this site seem overblown - like superheroes. Yikes! I don't think trying to date somebody in their 40s or 50s is being unrealistic. Somebody said because I'm 60 I wouldn't have nothing to offer except money - not true I think I'm sensitive, caring, intelligent and knowledgeable - I think that's being short-sighted. I think everybody is different - I know couples who are twenty years apart. I'm not going to limit my search because of my age - that's unrealistic.
