Soft heart, hard body. Firm convictions, non-judgmental! Open minded, closed mouthed. Old soul, uncommonly youthful - in mind, body and spirit! Adventurous nature, solid core, flexible outlook.... good communicator! I live in Denver, born in NYC, grew up in the 'burbs there, visit an old, early 18th century 'saltbox' house I own on the east end of Long Island by the ocean, 100 miles east of NYC several times a year, parts of summer for sea and seafood pleasures!
I'm looking for an "OTHER" relationship - the kind those around us think is a special thing - NOT - just "another" relationship!
- an "intimate encounter" for the rest of my/our life, if we agree it's that good!!
I'm a lifelong friend and user of soap, hot water, a good razor, floss and toothpaste. No substance issues now or ever. NO criminal history.
I respect/defend your freedom OF your religion - and you respect/defend my right of freedom FROM your religion!
We're likely politically left/open/progressive. We are BOTH - definitely NOT homophobes!! We agree that compatible/complEmentary sexuality IS an important criterion in a great LTR!
We both believe in preserving the earth for the benefit of all... We believe that true conservatives should have - and that they should use - the words "conserve/conservation" in their vocabulary - and wonder why most "conservatives" do not!! We believe that no religious doctrine has any place as a basis of policy in a secular democracy... We have more issues with "ME-publicans" than we do with RE-publicans!
You agree that a good brain, an open mind and an adventurous nature, in that order! - are the core elements of what makes a woman 'sexy' - and that understanding and appreciating that is a big, essential part of what makes a man, 'sexy'!
You require/appreciate a man that meets you w/respect and w/o presumption. One who lets you be you, and accepts that mutuality is what we all seek and need and never goes - or would try to stay - where he is not welcome.
You value a man who knows what he wants and needs enough to wait more than a year or two to find it... a man who understands that he will never be as lonely living w/NO one - as he would be living w/the WRONG one! A man who knows to remind himself to love his own problems - and to be grateful he doesn't have someone else's! That past experience should only INform choices and reactions - and not CONform them - lest they become 'baggage'! That the real core of true intelligence - is the ability to understand and appreciate nuance!
You want a fit and funny man who loves to laugh, and loves to make you laugh, and who wants to enjoy life together with great mental energy and mutual chemistry, and who will challenge you and support you!!
You're looking for a man who believes the greatest gift he has, who wants to and who can give you! - is to create the climate of acceptance, trust, comfort and intimacy that permits you to spread your wings to their widest ever!

1st date?? let's NOT get ahead of ourselves..., ok ?? !!
Let's start w/making contact here...
First - if you find my profile of interest.. PLEASE feel free to message me to say so! I'm totally OK/comfortable with you taking some initiative! I welcome it!
In any case,
Let's start w/establishing contact here. IF we agree we enjoy that and want to actually meet - my preference is something casual... and DEFINITELY at a time and place at which YOU feel totally safe and comfortable. I consider it important that this choice belongs to you. My only requirement is that it would be a venue w/the fewest distractions, and w/noise levels which permit good conversation. If that goes well, then we'll likely have a very good idea of a suitable 1st date scenario, ok? I look forward to hearing from you - and in any case - best of luck in life and love!
