I am a middle 50's guy in pretty good shape, slender to medium build. Salt 'n pepper hair. I live mostly alone out in the country about 7 miles south of Fowlerville. Wooded lot, near a main road. I say "mostly alone", because I have joint custody of my two daughters. Since they go to school outside my district, that changes from season to season. They are the light of my life. I am both a part-time township clerk and part-time employed. Both paying. I enjoy playing board/card games, blacksmithing, downhill skiing, and gardening, to name a few. I am a Scorpio, PoF has it wrong.

Am looking for a woman who can be both a companion and lover. I recognize that at our age, having lived around 50 years plus or minus a few years, she will have had a life full of whatever has come before, not a clean slate, but one that may have a few chips and scratches. She will be neither very skinny nor very plump, but somewhere inbetween. She has generally been taking care of herself over the years, as I have. Intelligent and well read (or allows others to be so.), isn't afraid of life and what it brings. And who has developed hobbies and interests over the years. Hair color is immaterial, its' the twinkle in her eyes that will count. Must like kids, dogs, cats, bumble bees, blue birds, bluebells, and BBQs..

Since first dates are all about first impressions, I like to meet in a neutral spot, where one can hear the other person talk without straining. A comfortable setting for both of us to relax and get to know each other a little. Coffee or drinks depending on the day or time.
