What is a an mah profile?

Cyber speak. More like the inability to interact on a human level. My 4 year old granddaughter navigates a computer better than I do. A Scary sign of the times. Thankfully, her mum and dad focus a lot on playdates and interaction with others.
What you refer to as Neanderthal, can also simply be someone who is not up to date on the written times.
I must be a Neanderthal!
I understand the concept of "people don't change, only the way we see them" or in this case, how we interpret what they have put on on cyber paper.
A person writes ."I want to meet someone with the same beliefs and values as mine" what does that even mean? How do you put your beliefs and values into a few sentences?
Discussion closed! How sad.
I prefer to cook rather than eat out on a regular basis. Does that make me cheap?
Call me cynical if you will,
Where family is concerned, I would not even want to introduce or oblige someone to do home visits with me until we are ready to see if we can make this new relationship work. My adult children might understand, but the little person in my life doesn't need to be subjected to a revolving door model. Children become attached and feel separation anxiety differently then adults.
Some of your suggestions make sense. And I will add a few pictures of me in a more natural habitat.
It would seem that people look at what you represent more than who you are. Feeling safe with someone has to work both ways in my world. Sales, engineering, self employed (house cleaner or CEO). Level of education, I'll take character over the rest of it anytime. Definitely more interested in who we are behind closed doors.
One profile that I read was about a love of travel with a "where will you take me" as opposed to "where will we go".
What dos that tell me about the person? How do you know without a real conversation?
Time to sign off and go for a walk.

The power of the written word. Intimacy to me is a lot more than sex. Partnership denotes complicity, equality and more. Dating is easy when you are in the public domain regularly as I am; whether working or dancing salsa in different venues twice a week. No ego in that statement, simply fact. My profile does say "relationship" not dating.
I believe that we can write whatever we want to get a response, but will ultimately reveal our true selves in a first meeting with someone. The fact that I am active in my kids lives; and that of my granddaughter does not in any way take away my availability for a "partner" for all activities that we would do in common,
I am looking for someone to enrich my life with. Revolving doors are not my thing.
And yes, I am looking for a friend, lover and life companion; the reality of day to day. I do have dinner with my son once a week. I do visit my granddaughter weekly, and I do travel to New York when I can get an appointment with my daughter whose career has her away from home more often than not.i meet friends for lunch on average once a week, and we do a cigar evening once a month.
So, Pacificstar48, the person that I hope to attract, is the person who will be complicit in getting me off the "dating" site.
Actually enjoying the interaction. Isn't clarification a wonderful thing.

PS. Based on your your interpretation of "intimacy", I better understand the hits that I am getting from young women. Thank you for that.

Thank you. I will add some more pictures. Will definitely participate in the community.

Wow, thank you for your feedback. Talk about being blunt. I can add more photos. Intimacy doesn't refer to sex. The 20-30 is a reality that leads me to question what the site is all about.
What I'm reading from you is that I need to be less forthcoming with information, and less transparent.
Don't quite understand your negative reference to the importance I place on family and friends.
I thought that I was clear when I said that I wanted a partner.
The wall is China. Easy enough to replace that photo.
Ps. I walk 7-8 k daily and go to the gym 3-4 hours per week. I salsa twice a week, and bike once a week with my son.
I have a commitment to staying healthy, energetic and in shape. The cigar, well. Just the truth, a heads up if you will.
No surprises with me. I won't lie to get a date.
Cheers

Fairly new here. Don't quite know what to expect. Flattered by hits from 20s and 30s, but let's be real.
Please give me feedback on my profile.
Thanks
