I’m an intelligent well spoken man who still believes in chivalry, gentlemanly pursuits, and treating a woman with respect. I like out of doors activities, hiking, camping, fishing, cooking out, spending time with someone in my arms, watching movies, and exploring obscure restaurants, pubs and the nooks and crannies around the town. I believe in being conservative but not in telling other people how to lead their life. I have a broad sense of humor ranging from wry to sarcastic to dry and to cerebral. I’m good with my hands, building and repairing, and like getting out there and doing things for myself. Cooking and experimenting in the kitchen bring me great pleasure and there is little I enjoy more than entertaining and pampering someone I’m connected to.

I like all sorts of movies here; I'm not picky at all. I like movies with some thought to them and that have a lot going on. As far as music goes, I'm still stuck in the 70's ... I like progressive hard rock, funk, heavy jazz, and scorching blues. I've been playing bass guitar since I was 15.

I’m looking for someone smart and independent who is open to sharing their life with someone. You should be reasonable, calm headed, flexible, affectionate, diplomatic, posses a great sense of humor, non-judgmental, fun, free and sensual. I’m NOT looking for a control freak, warden, hissy fit princess, cheater, liar, or mooch. Lastly, you should really like to be cherished and like to receive a lot of physical and tender affection.

I prefer a quiet place to talk and have a beverage. If the first date goes well than something more interactive like a live show, museum trip, or anything else really would be fine. But initially I just want to talk to you and see what we have in common and if there is a connection.
