I am a swm, 5 10,185, brn, blu, well-built, fairly good looking,body proportionate. I am a college grad and white and blue collar professional. I work as a IS networking tech, shipboard engineer( I've worked on Deep Sea and the Great Lakes ) and have been a teacher and probation officer as well as other skills and work experiences. I am very well rounded and widely experienced.I am an enlightened open minded and sensitive guy,but independent, a traditional man in some ways, single, never married.

I am a do it yourself,handyman type. I would rather fix something old than buy something new. I hope I am intelligent, classy, happy, normal, healthy :non-cigarette smoker (I do smoke a pipe or cigar:very infrequently )CAN be allot of fun.Depends on the company I keep :-)
I'm Lean in body and well proportioned in spirit. I am also Versatile, diverse, eclectic and radical at times.
I possess a sharp wit and a dry, sardonic, sense of humor.


My interestes are, well.... eclectic?
I love music (jazz, reggae, blues, folk, worldbeat are favs).
My other interests are : bicycling, volleyball, frisbees, darts, pool,hiking,massage,film,gardening,Cooking, reading, exploring, backgammon, chess, skiing, the ocean and the maritime environment, nature and conservation, other cultures, history and as a former jock,sports: Buckeyes, Reds, Indians, Bengals, Browns and Cavs.



I like wine,saunas,massages,olive oil,wood smoke,Jamaican rum, a good German brew("brewed in strict accordance with the German Purity Law of 1516"),making my own pizzas, Mojitos,the Caribbean sun on my(naked)skin: for a few examples :-)
I live a healthy lifestyle and I'm a good cook.



My spirit is deep and unique and the Taurean hedonist in some ways.
R.Buckminster Fuller (the guy who designed the geodesic dome and "synergy/ synergetics") wrote this in his book: {Operating Manual for Spacehip Earth}:
"You and I are inherently different and complimentary. Together we average as zero -- that is, as eternity".



I enjoy new people and new experiences. But as a Taurus, I like my familiar things too. I am selective, and more interested in quality than quantity; function over form.
I value spontaniety and openness.I like real people,not into pretense.

I am a moderate partyer. I am the gregarious type with good people.
Sometimes I like a party or going out to dinner or a museum ; sometimes I would just rather be home making a pizza and listening to Jazz while watching a baseball game.

Sorry for all the I's...
But better to be specific: rather than bland/general.

The type of woman I like is:interesting,intelligent,stimulating and adventurous.
Not into materialism/decadence or in-the-box-conservatism. I think outside the box on a regular basis.I would hope she does too.
I like a woman with a strong mind and spirit who is active and diverse,health oriented
and physically well tuned/body proportionate.
I am open to the possibility of deep commitment to the right woman.

I am not EVER going to limit who I can contact on here.
I see so many that do and to me that comes off as "inside the box"/conventional.
Convention limits the imagination and possibilities.
The way I look at things is that I NEVER artificially limit my possibilties.
I always try to be open minded and create possbilities: Not Limit them

I can travel or entertain. I am a homeowner: same place for many years..
If you care to respond, I will supply full details.
Can exchange pics or what ever else..

Boy,am I sick of the messages:
"You are not allowed to email or message this person"
If you have one of these filters set up,then I likely wouldnt want to meet you anyhow.

Get to know my date.
Relax. Communicate. Explore
