I am pretty much what I appear to be... a (sort of) normal guy. On the other hand, there's more to me than meets the eye, i.e., I am very smart and intuitive and I have many layers and levels to explore. There is very little that I don't "get." I'm smart but not smug, and I'm always willing to learn and explore new things. That doesn't mean that I will fall for anything... just things that make sense to me. Although I have lived in NYC since 1980, I very much maintain my small-town midwestern roots. Born and bred in suburban Detroit, I was a resident of Ann Arbor in the 1970s and I'm a proud Michigan Wolverines alum and fan.

I'd love to meet my female counterpart -- an intelligent, humorous, sensual woman for dating and a possible relationship. I live on the upper west side and would prefer a woman who lives in or near Manhattan. Chemistry is the most important thing. I love music of nearly all kinds. I love books, movies, museums and the theatre.

I'm looking for a woman with whom I can share a connection... a smart, funny, fun, non-judgmental, sensitive, sensible, sexy, sensual woman who wants a real man to be with her. A connection... a chemistry... inner clicks for both of us. We can't plan a relationship in advance, it either happens or it doesn't. We can have fun, we can date, and we may get really involved with each other. I'm open to all possibilities -- whatever works for both of us, and wherever we want to go.

Sensuality is not just about sexuality. While certainly an essential ingredient in sex, sensuality encompasses other things as well ... enjoying the feel of velvet or silk ... savoring the taste of creme brulee or Toblerone chocolate ... being awed by the sight of the Aurora Borealis as it lights up the night sky filled with a billion stars... inhaling the scent of burning leaves in the fall ... loving the way your fingertips feel on my back... and enjoying the way our lips feel together when we kiss...

Shall I go on?
