Gobias, 38

What happened to maturity? To kindness and compassion? To honesty, integrity, humility and curiosity? To the genuine desire to be a 'good' person, whatever that means?

To a woman with substance, who can carry herself with pride, poise and grace. With a genuine feeling of self-worth and the belief that she has something to offer the world.

Someone spiritual, but without the need to define herself and the world by the god she chooses to worship.

Someone who recognises the value of family and nature.

Whose idea of fun doesn't only involve getting drunk on a saturday night.

Someone who loves life.

Who dances with her whole body and laughs with a carefree abandon that makes others laugh with her.

Who wants to be romanced, respected, protected and loved for who she is.

Of course, I'd be lying if I said looks were unimportant. However, I truly believe that individual beauty cannot be defined, explained or expressed by words. All I ask is that people make the best with what they have.

Ultimately though, I want someone with the neverending passion to be the best that they can be, and in turn will inspire me to be a better man also.
