Hi, Welcome to profile. While it is perhaps a bit lengthy, I am seriously looking for a lifemate. I am 56 years old and am a widower. I am fairly new to online dating. I am looking for a lifemate, a lady to love, and to share my life, and deepest feelings with. Someone who is willing to share both good times and bad. I am of reasonable intelligence, (colege edumecated ya no)and have a sense of humour. I value communication both verbal and written, and have been told I have a way with written word.

I am loving, extremely self reliant, (can repair almost anything) independent, honest, caring, trustworthy, and am VERY loyal. (One woman man). I don't have a large ego, but am assertive when necessary. I have a lot to give to the right woman! The woman I am looking for will have similar qualities. Im not looking for a one night stand, dont expect instant intimacy, and dont want meaningless sex. Please dont get me wrong: I am a sexual person. I certainly enjoy sex, extended foreplay, and strive for mutual pleasure. I like to think I am a good lover. I guess all men do, lol

I don't smoke, or do drugs, I drink socially, and am not obese. ( Im around 165 pounds, and about 5 ft 6 inches) with average looks. I enjoy walking, nature, drives in the country, movies, I LOVE music, (rock, pop, some classical, some new country/ open to other types of music, I am an audiophile and have put together an AMAZING sound system) animals, giving/ receiving massages, thunderstorms, camping, nature, water, computers, photography, laughing, puns, a good play on words, being silly, holding hands, cuddling, lots of hugs, kissing, woodworking, vintage sports cars, ancient civilizations, social justice, movies, friends, reading, a healthier lifestyle, cooking, (black, blacker,and blackest does translate into rare, medium rare, and well done, doesnt it? ;-) ) good conversation, humour, the universe,and much more.
Perhaps some of our interests wont match, and that's OK also. Such interests can still be pursued individually. (Please note that I cant dance. Want to teach me? Careful, I have two left feet!) :-)

I am living on a fixed income ODSP pension. To explain, I have an inner ear disorder that occasionally (rarely) causes me some dizziness.

What that means in real life, is that I am somewhat "financially challenged" and I don't have lots of money to wine and dine a lady with! However, I have learned that money actually has very little to do with genuine happiness! You and I will therefore need to find fun and relatively inexpensive activities to enjoy, and places to explore together. This is a great way to make some fantastic memories! To name a few, I love yard sales, great but inexpensive restaurants, flea markets, junk shops, picking/eating berries, car shows, air shows, walking in a park or the country, beach/swimming, cooking a meal together, woodworking/crafts, movies,and am open to other activities you might suggest. Please note: I'm somewhat atypical in that Im not into sports, but dont mind someone who is.

If you are looking for someone with lots of money, you should definitely move on to someone else! Having said that, I am NOT looking for a sugar momma, or charity. I am not seeking someone to financially take care of me! The woman I seek will look beyond my financial status, and see me for who I am! I have my own transportation. ( an old Toyota held together with chewing gum, baling wire and duct tape, lol) Actually my car is in very good condition and I do most of the work on it myself.

Im not looking to change anyone, control anyone or to be changed or controlled. I generally accept people at face value, for who they are, and can enjoy their uniqueness. I simply want to enjoy life, and share it with that special someone. Oh yeah, Im easy to talk to, and am a good listener. If you are shy, I will probably put you at ease. If you got this far in reading my profile, and havent been scared off, perhaps we should talk! Please remember that I can only contact you if your profile parameters (such as age) permits me to get in touch with you. I am currently 56 years old. If you like my profile, if any of my description "hits home" with you, or you think that we just might "click" Please don't hesitate to contact me. In this enlightened age, I think it is more than OK for a woman to "make the first move." May you find true love, happiness and contentment in your search. Glenn

Do some online chatting first, then we could meet for coffee, take a walk through a park, or mutually decide on an alternative first meeting. What would YOU like to do?.....
