While my goal is a long-term connection with spiritual elements, I may settle for some physical closeness with mutual pleasure. I want to encounter a person with little, if any, inhibition, to challenge me and mine. Since I am not indulging my sensuality, I'd like someone who likes to touch and smile. I try to withhold judgment despite the fact that I react quickly to my perceptions. I want someone who works on tact as I do, but is also very accepting. When we gaze upon or meet strangers I hope our perceptions are in harmony. I rarely curse or yell; I will discuss any and all points of friction, sometimes intensely; I will never strike a woman. I hope even a brief encounter will be memorable. If you posted your profile, but you have blocked persons "looking for sex or Other Relationships", you may well block my initial email! Yes, on occasion I imagine I want to start off on the sensual/sexual path, and I have sent impulsive messages to others. What hetero does not? Having sent such messages is very different from engaging in such meetings. I am not sex-centered. If you want this man who thinks sex must be meaningful to be good, you might have to send me the first message.

I block drug users just because being zoned out means not being open to life. If you just use MJ occasionally in a private setting, don't announce it. I block people wanting to "hang out" because that means pointless socializing. One's own company ought to be better than that!

I also look askance at fans of boxing, hockey, pro baseball and auto racing, the first two because they seem to be sanctioned violence, the last two because I don't get it. If you're looking for a skydiving partner, sorry, that strikes me as a gamble equivalent to jaywalking on a 6 lane road. I don't trust those guys who secure bungee jump ropes, either. I'd like my mate to be nearly fearless, but not foolish. If you fear God, I don't want that to be your motivation for being moral. Internal motivation is great, but I can't and don't compete with driven ambition. If I've stalked your profile more than once it means you have explicitly excluded me by physique, income, employment, your dedication to exercise, your intense requirement for a travel partner, or my intermittent interest in sensuality. If you are interested anyway, let me know.

The paragraph above should pretty much guarantee me the dregs, don't you agree?
(Time to laugh with me.)

btw, If you exclude furriners, I'll think you're not really open-minded or you're hung up on geography. If you specify only one race or religion, ditto. Please demonstrate or convince me you are into "possibilities" and the power of "dreams". This should reflect itself in seeing children as immensely potent.

Talk (with few limits), smile, hopefully laugh, share values because I want to be comfortable with you. Look in your eyes, and if there's depth there, hold hands.

Maybe share something garlicky. Maybe a garlicky kiss, if hope lives.
