I would observe that we are not who we think we are. We are who other people see us. If I had to tell you who I think I am, I would say kind, witty, intelligent, perceptive, wise, strong, romantic, sweet... Considering all of that, I would suggest that I am perfect I have been told I am a competent man, and a "nice guy" (much to my detriment it seems, but to know me better is to know I am not always nice). I am ambitious, and driven to follow and complete my pursuits and interests.
你怎样描述你理想的伴侣?
She does not look like a pin cushion. Or a doodle pad. I do not know when women decided looking like a Merchant Marine sailor was attractive, but I do not find it so. She has her goals and ambitions and she can appreciate having a partner who also has goals and ambitions and does not expect him to change his for hers, and will not change hers for his. She is psychologically stable. She respects herself. She does not sit on the front porch in a bath robe yelling at people on the street (yeah, "I know, huh?").

请描述你理想的伴侣.
Instead of a direct answer to this question, I will be specific about why I am here. I am here to assess the suitability of a woman for an intimate long term relationship. I do not feel a need to be in a relationship. I want to find the woman I can be with for the rest of my life. I avoid getting involved with women who need a man. Need as opposed to want. It usually means they need more than just a relationship and I want to find a woman who wants a man to complement her. To bring her life and her world full circle and complete as she would do mine. I took some time away from relationships because I was using more of my time to make her happy and not enough of my time being happy myself. I have my goals and they do not get accomplished when I am with a woman who needs me to stop pursuing them to accomplish hers. Finding a woman who is exactly like me is not ideal to me. I would like to find enough similarities to keep us sharing and together and enough differences to keep things interesting. It is difficult to describe, so I can only hope you "get it". With all that said, I am very particular about who I choose to get involved with. I am not a serial dater-someone who dates for the sake of dating and chooses not to get serious about anyone.
I will be completely honest here. I work for a living, as I am sure most of you do. I have a good solid job that I can work until I choose to retire, if I wish. I also work two part time jobs; one for fun and one of necessity. I am doing well. Well enough to live a good life and put money away. I am not rich or wealthy by any means but I am financially secure. I would suggest that people who are wealthy do not really have use for a website like this. They have the means to meet women without the internet. This means that I will not go flying half way around the world to meet a woman on a whim or out of curiosity. I have my goals and ambitions and if I choose to make a trip to a land far away where I do not know the language or customs, I will not only be really sure the woman I am going to meet is the one I am looking for, but I had also better be the man she is looking for. Because I appreciate that it is a far more difficult decision for her as she will be leaving her home to live in a land where she does not know the language or customs. Also, I do not prioritize being in a relationship ("solitude is wrong, so say the herd"), but if I should meet the woman who I share a mutual attraction and interest with I would indeed make her a priority.
And to finish, yes I do read the profiles. I do not pursue anyone who is not looking for someone like me so if your criteria does not match mine I will not pursue. But I must say, some of you are quite clever
