Michael King

<p>I am: emotionally stable, intelligent, well-rounded, respectful, affectionate, kind, romantic & playful. Ardent lover of art, music, theatre, literature & film. An aspiring writer whose heart is inclined towards peace & random acts of benelovence. A grounded dreamer seeking a profoundness in life, that eclipses what the "rat race" can provide.<br /> Three years of former service in the Army has led to me becoming a well-traveled soul. & one that has an appreciation for other cultures & ways of life.<br /><br /> Cooking, dining out, attending festivals/concerts/art exhibits & museums are among many of the activities I enjoy doing. I also love running, reading, exploring new sites around the city, shooting pool & attending sporting events.<br /> I have an adulation for international and ethnic foods as well. & love discovering quaint, unknown hideaways. <br /><br /> The desire to spend quality time w/ a woman that shares similar interests is what has compelled me to post on CL. I am hopeful that this endeavor leads towards me finding a woman whose presence & being will add value to my life. I am NOT desperate; but rather desirous of finding a like minded soul in this city.<br /><br /> I am looking to experience that fantastic sensation that is ignited between a man & a woman, when they connect on a mental & emotional level. When they share a spiritual kinship that can not be communicated w/words alone. My ideal match would be a woman that is: intelligent, kind, loving, supportive, down to earth & fun. A woman that swims against the tides of superficiality, towards the shores self awareness, discovering & freedom. I would prefer a woman that possesses an appreciation for the arts...... and one that is not solely defined by materialistic wealth. I would treasure the arrival (into my life) of a woman that did not fear the power of love, that was not intimidated by the grace of intimacy & one that has not been grown jaded against the opposite sex in this age of the hook-up culture.</p>
