I enjoy teaching beginner piano and performing in front of an audience. I love all kinds of music, with the exception of heavy metal or gangsta rap. I am passionate about writing. In fact, I look forward to the day that I write a Q&A Column for a magazine or newspaper. I always win a stuffed animal when the guy at the state fair can't ever guess my age. To me a life well lived is one lived authentically. The main attribute I look for in people is genuineness.

For those of you who are curious about why I'd be in this site, let me clarify. I'm not on this site for an intimate encounter, to find a husband or because of a personality defect. POF offers a larger, more diverse dating pool than I'd encounter on a normal basis. That gives it an appeal. My pictures are current and my age is accurate. But you don't have to take my word for it. Judge for yourself.

What I prefer is to meet someone face-to-face to see if there is attraction. I trust that a guy knows how to take it from there.
