I think I'm almost handsome in subdued lighting although some still tell me I remind them of Kermit (Go green, girl!). My REAL friends, of course, call me George...George Clooney and if they don't see the likeness...well maybe they aren't really friends after all.

I can now dance (I took lessons) without stepping on my own feet, but unfortunately yours are still at risk. The punch line of my favorite joke is..."Standing up in a hammock."

My perfect mate will be willing to lie about how we met. If you have read this far, you are definitely a strange puppy and that makes you quite desirable. If you also love dogs and will eat my cooking...well what can I say...please write this shy and occasionally naive strange person because it's never too late to have a happy childhood.

Question - is the glass half-full or half-empty? Answer - neither, it is 50% larger than it needs to be. By now you've figured out that I'm different (ok I was being kind) and if you laughed a little as you read this - so are you. It always amazes me that some people haven't figured out that if you want to be above average, you must deviate from what others consider "normal".

I'm not going to describe you now except to say that you must tolerate a sometimes strange view of life. The above is really quite indicative of my attitude. If you find this uncomfortable, I'm sorry. If you find this funny and entertaining, hey take a chance. Maybe we can grow young together.

Photos are current, Age is accurate. (If I were to lie about my age like I KNOW some other guys "mistype", I would have said 56. LOL) My goal is to find a lifetime partner, not a part-time playmate. I believe that in the best relationship, we will be the most important person in each other’s life and not just an accessory. I want us to be the cake not the icing. Please read the rest. I also have a serious side to this personality. Yes, I do know that I look like the actor William H. Macy, Dudley in Wild Hogs, and if you look like Marisa Tomei - Dudley's girlfriend Maggie, let's get married immediately.

Frankly ladies, I've never been "hotter" - I'm in my 60's. I still have my hair. I still have my teeth. I can dance and I drive at night. We both know that is all you're interested in.

I’m looking for my best friend. My anam cara. Do you know her?

She is a woman who knows that developing a close, caring and respectful relationship can be the greatest joy. She is sincere, warm and honest as well as self-confident and communicates well even if she thinks I won’t like what she has to say, knowing that I need to hear her feelings anyway. She enjoys her work and is respectful of others and likely has a history of volunteering to help others that are less fortunate. She is looking for a very special man and will be loyal to him, as I will be to her. She has a wonderful sense of humor and doesn’t take herself or life in general too seriously, but can also be passionate in her beliefs and is financially responsible. If she finds the single life fun and exciting, I am probably not the guy for her.

As a couple, I think it’s OK for each of us to have some outside interests, but I think we should spend most of our free time doing things of common interest. From the time we part, I would expect both of us to anxiously look forward to when we are together again. In time, I expect us to have lots of “inside jokes” and some of our most intimate communication will come from a smile, a look or a wink that only we will understand. I think we should both feel the other person is the most important person in our life.

Fun is more about who I am with rather than what we are doing. I love movies, plays, music, dancing, dining out or cooking in, candlelight (that's the subdued lighting I was talking about), romance, walking, bicycling and taking my dogs to the dog park. I love small and intimate dinners either at home or at a restaurant. I find strong, independent, assertive women that think for themselves EXTREMELY attractive. (Read that as I rarely make first contact.) Please have a CURRENT photo and age posted before contacting me and weight appropriate to height. No photo, no answer.

Favorite things:
Hugs, dancing (that's sort of a hug with music), listening to the rain, sitting by a cozy fire in the arms of the one that I love and talking quietly. Watching the sunrise, sunset, hearing the birds chirping. Oh, did I mention dancing.

First Date: I think it should be a place where we can talk casually and get to know each other.

Favorite Sayings:

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

A good exercise for the heart is to bend down and help another.

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open.

Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from ANY direction.

Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself.


Final Question: Are you the music of my life that will make me - Wanna Dance?
