....I'll be happy for a mate with some soul.

I'm a simple man of simple needs and I like doing just about anything and experiencing everything. I'm in the food/travel/publishing business so I get to experience a lot.

There are some wonderful women here that I would love to contact, but in the past I made a mistake and wrote to a woman seeking an "Intimate Encounter". Because of this if you have selected "Must not have messaged users looking for intimate encounters" in your profile this system does not allow me to initiate contact with you. So please write to me first if you think we could have a connection, and I will write you back. If I have selected you as a Favorite it means I can not write you and I hope you write to me.

I am looking for friends, dating and fun (real fun, like laughter and conversation) not one night stands.

I'm cynical and open-minded, stupid and intelligent, in shape and well feed, a couch potato and outgoing, serious and funny, athletic and lazy, likes the indoors and outdoors, accepting and critical, sensitive and callous. And, I will talk to you.

My hobbies are sailing, hiking and gardening. My TV habits run from the silly like Reno 911 to the sublime like Kalifornication and Entourage. While at work I also keep and eye on the news so I know what the world is up to. I'll listen to just about all kinds of music.

If I had to stereotype myself, I'd say I'm an intelligent hippie.

I also have a MMJ Dr's. recommendation. If you know what that is, you know what I mean. :)

If you are sweet, happy, funny, emotional, care about your body, (this does not mean you have a perfect one, it just means you care about what goes into it and how you look) like good food and wine, have a life of your own, are not looking for a man to "complete" you, we'll have a great time.

I live up in Big Bear but from April through October I like to come down to L.A. to go sailing. I pass through the IE, SGV and L.A. a lot.

Anything that allows us to get to know each other.
