Synopsis
1st, I live on my warm and cozy Sailing Yacht year round (FYI, I'm not rich...), ride a motorcycle and smoke. So, if boats, bikes and/or smoking bother you there's really no sense reading any further.


I'm outgoing, confident, nearly impossible to stress out, very intelligent but unpretentious, able to converse with anyone, loaded with common sense, level headed, multi-talented, honest, all grown up, monogamous, loyal and I've always been told that I'm a great kisser (are you?). I'm NOT a TV sports freak but do watch the Pats. I'll skip all the other "normal" attributes that everyone should already have before thinking about dating. I'm also a very good cook and make my own wines and flavored liquors.


Dance/Music;
About 6 yrs. ago I decided to take dance lessons, because like most guys, I danced like a rock (it wasn't pretty but was good for a lot of laughs). That lasted for almost 2 yrs since I don't quit once I start something. Now, I'm an intermediate/advanced Swing dancer (East Coast, West Coast, Lindy Hop, Charleston and Balboa). I'm currently taking "Salsa/Bachata/Merengue" lessons at the "Black Rep. Company" on Wednesday nights, 276 Westminster St. in Prov.. The lesson is open to anyone, runs from 8-9 and it starts w/ basic beginner steps, then on to intermediate+ moves. They have public dancing after that until 1 am. I will listen and dance to almost any music except Country and Rap.


On my "to-do list";
Find a nice compatible girlfriend! (possibly you?)
Be a bit more like "Capt. Ron" (The movie is even funnier if you understand boats/sailing)
Sail down the coast to Fla. and over to the Caribbean islands in a few yrs.. (care to join me?)
Hopefully buy a "Schooner" someday! :)


About you;

It's unfortunate that I have to put this part into a profile, but I'm not interested in the multitudes of serial daters, anyone with Psych. problems, are Born again Christians (liars/users), or the overabundant BBW's that seem to congregate here. I have met some very nice women here but they were too far away and I'm sure a lot of you can say the same thing about distance. Hmm, maybe we should all move to a different area and it will increase our chances of finding someone??? ;)


I would like to find someone who is intelligent, can hold a conversation, compatible, has realistic dating expectations and a good personality (dreaming, aren't I?). I do prefer the "girl next door" look. Next, since body type "average" and "a few extra lbs." seem to be way overused, how about someone who is proportional regarding height and weight, but not too thin either.

Anything else is negotiable unless you're a Psychopath...


I realize that my lifestyle isn't for everyone, but if you've read this far down and think we might be good together, just email me and I will reply!


Ken,



Some favorite sailing quotes;


"If you have to be somewhere by a certain date or time, you aren't cruising, you're racing.."

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails! Explore... Dream... Discover... ~Mark Twain


.

1st meeting?
Chatting over coffee, drinks etc. usually work well, along with some realistic dating expectations. Weather permitting, Mini Golf is always fun... If we click, that's great, if we don't, at least we tried.

1st actual date?
A mutual decision is always best, but drinks, dinner/appetizers always work well along with music/dancing and if you can't dance, I could teach you the basics!

p.s.
A Sailing cruise to the waterfront watering holes is always an option down the line... :)
