I probably won't appeal to most of you fishing out there. YOU might think that I'm TOO plain, Too tall, TOO short, TOO old, TOO young (lol), TOO independent, TOO smart, TOO stupid, TOO thin, TOO busy ... basically just not right for you...but that's OK because I am only hoping to appeal to ONE. If I do happen to perk your fancy... add me to your 'favorite list'...or be brave and say hello....perhaps it's you I'm waiting for!

I'm a romantic, sensual, easygoing guy with a fine sense of humor and an inviting smile. I enjoy theatre [especially musicals], good movies, TV [dramas], music, city and country life, cooking, photography, auctions, collecting, ++. I play a very active role in the community: volunteering in a hospital ER, an elected school commissioner, member of a regional Health and Social Services Agency, participating in emergency preparedness/disaster management organizations++.

I'm a somewhat laid back person who enjoys life year-round, both in the city and at my country home in upstate NY. I am caring, understanding, compassionate and generous with a liberal approach to life.

What is missing in my life is a woman, who is somewhat compatible to me [not a clone] or compliments me, to share a loving long term relationship[or marriage] as my best friend, soul mate, confidant and lover, all the while enjoying candlelight dinners, lazy breakfasts, hugs, kisses, touching and holding hands with my one and only special gal.

NB: SOME PROFILES HAVE AGE PREFERENCES WHICH CONTROL THEIR MAIL SETTINGS. MY ACTUAL AGE IS 75 NOT 69 AS NOTED ABOVE. SINCE I LIVE AND ACT MUCH YOUNGER THAN MY ACTUAL AGE I HAVE USED THE YOUNGER AGE ON MY PROFILE TO ALLOW MEMBERS WHO HAVE SET THE RESTRICTION TO VIEW MY PROFILE AND PERHAPS DECIDE OTHERWISE.

If you want to know more, just ask

A first date should be an easy going relaxed affair in a nice quiet resturant where we can talk comfortably and get to know more about each other. Afterwards a walk in the park, on a beach, anywhere. If we are comfortable with each other, it should end with arranging for our next date, and then a kiss.
