Alexey, 45

Have you ever seen those adorable old couples strolling hand in hand? That could be us in 50 years, but with a few more wrinkles and a lifetime of joyous memories behind us. One of my wildest experiences was jumping out of a plane—with a parachute, of course—and, disappointingly (or thankfully), with an instructor superglued to my back. I love gaining new experiences through inspiring books and movies, trying new activities, and traveling to learn about cultures, languages, and most importantly food! While I don’t enjoy cooking, I hope you do. I’m into healthy activities like swimming, martial arts, ice skating, long walks, laughing, and, yes, sex—but only with someone whose personality attracts me. I’m also fascinated by all things space and astronomy. Having collected passport stamps from 40 countries and lived in 4, I consider myself open-minded, organized, driven, and someone who gets things done. I’m not perfect, but I always strive to be a reliable, responsible, caring, and supportive. I’m seeking a partner who will stand by my side through thick and thin, someone who is patient, fond of children, and willing to grow together—preferably not in waist size! I won’t be a catch for people who are stubborn, pray regularly, high-maintenance, drink a few times a week, or have a low sex drive. Nothing is wrong with them, just not for me.
