Geez so many fishes and I am seeking an endangered species. How do if bait the hook? If I light up the water at night what kind of fish would choose to swim to me. I must be careful Dolphins have been mistaken for mermaids
I am in St Augustine Florida "a quaint little drinking village with a fishing problem," I am into boating, sailing and waterfront activities at the yacht club and I enjoy ocean swimming now and then. I like to find a naturally attractive intelligent, elegant woman who is a good swimmer and who looks lovely even soaking wet via rain or sea spray. Sensual Mermaids have been spotted wearing pearls but never diamonds. Starfishes, glitzy glamour girls or beach towel ornaments or wet tee shirt models need do not need to reply.

Raised and educated in NY I have been a Floridian since 1977 for income tax purposes while living outside USA. Early retired after working 12 years in the Persian Gulf. I seen the world I enjoy exchanging sea stories with sailors and mariners. I do some maritime consulting work just to keep my finger in the pie. I can safely say Dogfish, Arab or Muslim women do not need to reply.
To be honest I don't own a pair of jeans but I can substitute sea going kaki slacks or shorts. I have tux and dinner jacket on standby for selected social events. I must admit some Florida women look absolutely wonderful jeans with a beer in hand or only in a key west shift after wet swimsuit gets lost glowing with sun exposure and Bacardi drink in hand. I have an Alfa Romero Spider that I can drive for fun as I prefer my date to sit next to be instead of behind me. Catfish, biker babes with tattoos and piercing, chains or spikes need not to reply.

I am wise enough to understand I am at the perfect age that I do not need to be chasing after so many younger fishes, rather I just simply need to respond to lovely ladies who might be interested in pursing me. Bottom dwellers, poisonous crabs , low self esteem squids or insecure triggerfish or scavengers who collect junk beyond there natural needs are not desired. Young school fishes or sea sprites under age 37 have too much to learn to many places yet to swim.
As you may understand it is difficult enough to put together two middle-aged people with older parents and children from other spouses but I am an optimist if found acceptable by the others family. I understand women need to show off their pets that the feed and care for as proof that are adored by something. Domestic zoo keepers with more than two dogs and cats under foot and animal hair about the house who are enslaved with the daily responsibility for pet feeding animal discharge clean up need not respond to this profile. But if you just have an aquarium of fishes I can see no problems.
A fun mermaid and helpmate who enjoys a man's touch is strongly desired As I mariner at 6-3, I like to look into the eyes of my woman’s now and then for signs of love and understanding. Short fishes give me a stiff neck Women 5-3 less as measured barefoot do not need to reply unless you desire to carry a step stool or pedestal at all times. If wearing elevator shoes make the height, see starfishes above.
The origin of woman's material wealth is naturally of concern to me. Simply put I it hard to see myself moving into a woman's social setting her old family nest. I prefer a woman with more of a pioneer spirit ready to take on my world with me as we venture off together. I am materially unencumbered and free to relocate where ever I may choose. I believe in ethics and doing the honorable thing. It is unethical for attorneys to have sex with their clients. Ells and sea snakes and female lawyers need not reply, as I don’t believe in being charged or invoiced twice for a single screwing.
Tagged, queer, bi-sexual fishes or scupper fishes with aids or drug user fishes that live polluted water or any other transmitted seafood diseases if caught will be tossed back into the sea so no need to respond here.
I am not hung up on a woman who enjoys a cup of tea or a cappuccino from time to time and I be happy for make this for you, I never drink alone or in non social setting, I’d like my woman to enjoy a drink now and then so long as she does not drink like a fish. Mariners are known to smoke pipe and cigars although I gave up these habits years ago. Real good fishes never smoke unless the heats too high on the frying pan. Sea water can boil when fishes are in heat, and spawning can be a lovely activity.
Spanish mackerel, Canadian cod, Norwegian smelt or a British halibut with chips of course could become a lovely partner in life if no American woman wants to take this bait. American tuna can be hard to find these days, and I like Albacore as packed in pure water. But like the commercial says “only the best tuna get to become Star Kissed” Bumble Bee types are attracted to dead fishes and need to buzz off. Except for young lovely sensual deaf ladies who can sign as well with their eyes as they can with their hands no non English speaking sea creatures desirerd.

Life is a collection of moments and you get to choose any moment to become memory. Good memories are real treasures in life as they go with the soul when we graduate from this planet. All our earthly stuff is destined to burn with the earth when it is finally consumed buy the sun. I can become philosophical every once in a while. But I certainly enjoy a good laugh and woman with a good sense of humor. As you might have guess I had a few drinks at happy hour before I came home to re-write this revealing account of who I think I am. I know I am too easy going for my own good when it comes to members of the opposite sex. Hopefully all the misfits haven’t read down this far so tug on the bait line and I promise to respond to your message Rick

I say let’s make it full day of including perhaps a swim together in the ocean. I don't see myself doing thousands of miles of beach walking with all the women demanding this for there first annual date. But if your not sure of yourself or me after some limited correspondence photo exchanges and old fashion telephone chatter then move on to date some other guy. I am patient guy and totally non committal to anyone. in no rush nor will I be pressured to decide. until I know through quiet and intimate discovery that the right friend and trusted lover has come along side.

I enjoy cooking and can build a fantastic health salad. Making a meal together is more fun and realistic for getting to know someone then some first date at an overrated expensive noisy public restaurant. Even working together at something can be fun. Help me run a yacht club sailboat race, this might be a fun first task to do together. If early to the beach for a swim I can pick up coffee and a box of doughnuts or bagels with cream cheese and lox.

I like to eat seafood especially swordfish, its my favorite (I just can't get enough of the alleged mercury it suppose to have according to the non sense propaganda used to get Americans to eat farm raised or imported seafood). Just wait until the discover “mad farm fish disease.” That will totally kill “fish is the brain food” concept. But the price on raw oysters and clams will then hit new highs. Especially people begin to look for sea food aphrodisiacs to forget about gas prices going over $5.00 a gallon. Remind me on first date to invest in the clam and oyster bed futures market. Rick

PS: If finding a good mate is not your first priotiy, no need to waste each other time.
