I'm a relaxed type of guy.

Not into male bonding, prefer the company of a significant other.

My home is passive solar which I designed and built in the 1980's. Building a home in a warmer climate using new techniques that have been developed since I completed my current home is on my list of things to do. Eat healthy, enjoy fine beverages (micro brewed beer, quality wines, single malt scotch, cognac). In the evening I enjoy classic films or reading, perhaps with a fire in one of the fireplaces. Dining out on occasion, especially when traveling or floating between ports. Landwise, long weekends spent at Caliente, Paradise or Cypress Cove (Florida) renew the spirit. Nautical history is a subject I pursue.

In one of my photos note that I'm wearing spectator shoes, out for a Sunday afternoon stroll. I'm one of only three white guys in the Detroit area that has the courage to wear spectators. Number two is Wild Bill, a sign painter and competitive ballroom dancer. Bill built a ballroom (complete with chandeliers) on the back of the house so him and his wife can practice their dance moves. The third is Tyrone "Fourflusher" Malone, who gave up a lucrative law practice to become a ventriloquist.

In another photo I'm wearing an AARP shirt from the 2007 AARP Boston convention. I wasn't there however, the entertainer that performed at the convention was a senior citizen also, Rod Stewart. Rod also writes articles published in Reader's Digest. That's scary.

My musical taste runs the gamut. Except no rap.

Cooking, I enjoy a few times a week. I have recipes I've collected over the years from my travels. Some recipes freely given by chefs and others I had to make by trial and error until the correct ingredients and portions resulted in a tasty dish.

Looking for a class act who knows what compatibility is, can think out of the box and has all the features a guy dreams about. Your values and morals must not be stuck in the middle of the last century. Searching for a mate on the internet allows two people to openly discuss all matters and make mutual decisions swiftly, unlike 50 years ago. If your response to, "How do you feel about intimacy if we're compatible" is, "it takes a really long time to get to know somebody," enjoy your games, find a game player. If your response to, "how do you feel about running around sans clothes on a private island in the Mediterranean" is, "I'm not that kind of woman," you need a serious relationship, not a fun relationship. Find a quy that wears a tweed jacket with patches on the elbows, smokes a pipe and worries about his prostrate. If you have amigas that "are that kind of woman" and are looking for a warm, fun, permanent, compatible relationship, have them get in touch with me.

Please, no augmentations, reductions, dentures, tattoos, issues, hangups, or baggage. None on me. Must have the courage to fry bacon in the nude. Doesn't have a problem getting dirt under her fingernails occasionally. A babe that understands the difference between renting clothes, buying clothes, and having clothes. After all, one never knows when one will be invited to attend a coronation on a moments notice. Has a shoe rack full of open toed stiletto heels with lots of straps and fasteners. No more than one pair of sensible shoes. Has no problem holding her socks up with suspenders. Distance is not a problem for me as the searcher. The searchee will understand that I (searcher) cannot find quality by wandering up to the local watering hole as well as she (searchee) knows Mr. Wonderful will not reside two blocks or five minutes (which ever occurs first) from her home.

Hey, the first date is coffee, tea, beer, wine, whatever and get acquainted. On the second date a casual meal or an activity, longer discussions. Third date, perhaps Europe for dinner.
