Oh, first, the beard is gone. My qualities include: thoughtful, kind, considerate, intelligent, romantic, sincere, meditative, playful, flirty, funny, etc etc. Oh, they want me to add more. OK, I like smooth jazz, Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi, etc, I don't watch sports, I like to walk on the beach, especially at night, often visit parks. I'm a Baha'i. I like photography. My dog is a small black Affenpinchser named Lulu. The little girl in my photo is my granddaughter. (She's 3 and speaks 3 languages!) Rode across the US on a bicycle; former Peace Corps in Ecuador. I really dislike this online dating thing...just want to find the right person to be with.

Stats: 5'11" 166 lbs. Green eyes. Salt-n-pepper hair. People tell me I'm handsome. Physically fit, not overweight, very active, ride a bike usually twice-a-day (with my dog), karate black belt (disciplined to be very gentle, chivalrous and protecting). I don't drink or smoke. I used to be a vegetarian and might go back that way again. Fluent in Spanish (I learned Spanish in the Peace Corps).

let's first meet for a cup of coffee and chat and then see if we are interested in knowing each other more. You can't tell much about a person from a photo or a few emails. You can reach me at: johncom99@gmail.com.

I'm looking for some magic...someone interesting and creative, not a follower of the norm...someone different and unique
