Laid back ol' fart in Salem.

Intelligent, kind and non-judgemental. Open minded BUT strictly hetero! Well read, well spoken(so they tell me) and humorous. Something of a homebody in that i do not do the bar-club scene at all. I am self-sufficient in the financial way but am NOT rich in the $$$ sense. Boundlessly rich in compannionship and wonderful friends here in the Salem area, Just seeking that special someone to bring it all into better focus-to add joy & the richness that comes from sharing your life with a caring female that cares about ME. Friends
EXTRA NOTE: I do not e-mail to women under 35, so if you want to talk, you must initiate the confab.
Note #2: I also do not, as a rule, e-mail to women outside my area due to not owning a vehicle. If you still want to chat, you can e-mail me. All e-mails are answered. no exceptions.
I wonder why its always the man that has to initiate the e-mails/chats? I have been on here for a yr and been e-mailed BY a woman less than five times. and IM'd three times. Strange that. If you want friends/companions/lovers/life-partners, then try reaching OUT sometimes???
[sorry, cannot fix this glitch. carry on to the rest below here]
first because that builds it all to the right point. Seeking MORE than Twiggy & LESS than Momma Cass.(If these icons are lost on you, then you better 'click' away) So voluptousness is GOOD as is long hair. Race & religion is NOT at all an issue, in fact would enjoy some diversity that way. I am rather conservative in my thinking, politics-wise, but vote independent, never just on party lines(ICK!!) BUT(and i like those too) MATURENESS and intelligence are also VERY important. Beyond THAT~~we can talk??

No car, am on S.S.
NOTICE!! To those ladies that take advantage of the 'viewed me' service here, please know that i appreciate a note as to what you think? I always comment on any profile that i find inteeresting-and/or is not set to reject me or is not looking for my type at all. OK? Its the internet, after all! Lets enjoy all this gobbledy-gook!UPDATE!!! Seems many women lack the courage or common politeness to simply reply or comment after either getting a msg or looking at this profile. Why is that?? Strange, its the internet and fairly safe, thru these dating sites, after all???
well, the first date is the usual......meet to talk and get to size each other up...then who knows??(da SHADOW do!!) As to where & when, well, am retired so my schedule is fairly clear.
