Vespertine, 53

Well travelled, well educated, intellectual seeks companionship from like-minded male. Qualities I exhibit and value in others are Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Law Abiding, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent.

I live a spiritual life and follow Unity principles. Though born anatomically male, I have always been mentially female. I like passion to be tender, spontaneous and the way I show my partner how much I love him, not the reason we are together to begin with. I've always known I had Gender Identity Disorder (GID), though when I learned what homosexuality was as an adolescent, being a practical middle child who learned to make due with what I was given, I tried unsuccessfully to live my life as a gay man. All I've gotten for it are some good friends, HIV and heartache. Looking to find the real me, and that means transitioning to a female body.
I'm looking for Someone I can tell my deepest secret to, someone who will love me in spite of my faults just as I will love him despite his. Someone tender, romantic, protective, educated, refined with a love of people, life and new experiences. There are many types of men I find attractive, intelligence, creativity, self discipline and good manners are usually found in men I would like to date. Being taller than me doesn't hurt either. I'm 5'8" and I love high heels - you do the math ;o)
