Man. 50 years old. Zodiac sign: Virgo.
Looking for: woman. In age: 47-57
I like being witty, silly, funny. I like studying philosophy, religion and being a walking, breathing version of Yelp. I... I... I... a lot of "I" in there. Why were really here though, is a little algorithm called "Us", and I trying to find the other half of that equation. So after several relationships and a marriage....I've come to the understand that what we all want is this - to share a life with someone who shares our values and at least some of our interests. Someone who we respect and are attracted to. For me I want a cerebral tennis partner who loves to rip one liners back and forth. Someone who loves movies, books, social sciences and cracking jokes. Someone who finds "being a good person" to be of the utmost importance. So in a nutshell, brains and humor, a winning combo as far as I'm concerned adds a Sexy Rating of 10 to any woman. (audio up - Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" chorus)Back to me, the other half of "Us"... I have a very unconventional life, I work full-time in the entertainment world, part-time as a building manager, part-time as an artist, part time as a Godfather to my ex-wife's little girl. I'm creative both at work and play (as most of my friends are) filling my free time with reading, writing, spending time with my friends (endless comic banter), reading some more, thinking about the bigger issues in life and spending time with my Goddaughter. She is the joy of my life. She is almost seven and nothing better has happened to me than having her enter my life. I have a long story and could go on and on but this is an intro and I need to learn about YOU.As far as the "; thing, if you understand his transformation over the last few years then you know/understand even that much more about me. This would be my hopes for a great first date:It starts with a cup of coffee or perhaps a glass of wine, then after two hours of great conversation we move on to "...that one place I was telling you about... " where we have so much fun we decide go home to our respective houses to freshen up and meet up again for dinner that night which of course is over way too soon so now we are on to that "... really cool bar my friend told me about" which, before we know it, is calling last call, which sends us off to an all night diner, which we almost don't make it inside to because we kissed outside the car couldn't stand keeping our hands off each other but we somehow do, knowing we should probably eat something before we drive, which we do while holding hands and having even more great conversation interuppeted of course by a kiss or three and now since we see the sun coming up and we both have to get up in an hour we both go home alone but wishing we we'rent so we text each once were home saying what a great time so we make a plan for our second date. Or we could do something else.

Like most people, I really appreciate honesty in others. I'm not a Pollyanna, I'm a realist--not everything is perfect nor do you (or myself) get along with everyone out there. I'm a person who enjoys Gourmet Cooking, Fine Wines, Smooth Jazz, the Theater, Symphony, Gardening, the Outdoors, Staying in Shape, Tennis, Snow Skiing, and College Sports. I really appreciate exploring local neighborhood activities and entertainment. So far, I am in a somewhat comfortable financial position, although all of the above would be much more enjoyable and fulfilling if I could share it with someone special--someone who has the same enjoyments & outlook as I do. I'm an "old fashion" guy who practices the etiquette of days gone by and it would be nice finding someone who appreciates these things. Our first get together would be nice and casual, maybe a cup of coffee or glass of wine....If we were to go as far as a first date, perhaps enjoy a fine red wine and conversation, a nice dinner then possibly head to the theater, sporting event or live entertainment.;/or activities depending on what is going on that time of year. The Northwest has an endless array of pursuits to investigate.

Are you able to be loved by a great man? Are you able to give love back? The 3 qualities I am most looking for in a girlfriend or partner is someone who is 1) in touch with her loving and caring self, 2) has "spiritual" depth (non-religious, non-separating), or wishes to gain it, and 3) enjoys being active, fit and healthy in her body. If you have these 3 qualities it's almost certain we could build a good friendship that might also grow into something more. (But you may enjoy some of the relationship and other thoughts I share in this profile in general :-)About Me and Love***I find I build close friendships very quickly, particularly with those that have spiritual depth, and usually it's months before we are saying "I love you" to each other as friends -- both men and women. My friends tell me I am a very loving and caring person. People usually open up quickly around me because they can feel I can hold anything in consciousness without judgement. I have shed most of the "conditioning of age", and I find I relate to people of all ages well.I've been "on the path" since my teen years deeply questioning and looking at what is love, what is "God", what is relationship, what is true, etc., and this deep searching beyond established belief systems leaves me both very free and also sure of who and what I am and also sure of who and what you are at your core: Love, Eternal Being, Grandness beyond measure, and Truth! ;-) No one can recognize love or truth if they weren't Love and Truth already -- just perhaps no one ever told them. You have to find this deep inside (even though this fact is obvious!, just not taught unfortunately, yet! :-), ... ... and then you really wake up to What you are: Love and Truth, an Infinite Being, Eternal. Then you are free, and joined with that which is (Everyone), and all fear leaves -- well, most of the time ;***Of course I'm talking about the real You.Relationship***You know romantic relationships are interesting: to many the (current) format is, "if you meet the right conditions, I'll love you unconditionally." This is obviously a recipe for disaster, causing many relationships to fail. In romance we can easily get "our fix" from the other person -- the present attractiveness, being held, sex, etc -- short-term overlooking the things we don't like. When the newness wears off, we often have never built the real relationship skills to love each other through needed changes; in short, letting our partner know *where* we would like to meet them, and where we cannot, and discussing it because (real) love is already there to make the changes possible and easy. E.g. perhaps "I need us to live in a clean home where underwear is not left of the floor." ;-) Furthermore, ideally we come up with new solutions because we honor each other's uniqueness and our diversity together, which reflects the primary purpose of relationship -- increase, more, more life.Knowing what another is at their core has me "hang in there" with others forever, drawing positive boundaries as needed and never giving up on anyone. I'm very aware about the common tendency people can have to project faults on each other, particularly when folks are afraid or insecure, and this is the time people need to take a moment and work through their stuff and then talk it out with their partner if/as needed for there to be forward movement, growth, and greater depth in the relationship. Love ultimately heals. I would like to find another who is at this level of depth/commitment in their life or wants to be, and is not flaky in relationship. I find it's this type of solid foundation that then brings incredible joy, love, and play in a relationship -- because there is a solid foundation.I was married 25 years and my ex-wife and I remain close friends with real openness and caring for each other's well-being just like with all my other good friends. As for us, we came to a place where a marriage-type-of-partnership wasn't what would give us the most growth and fulfillment going forward, but that has never stopped us from caring about each other (real love is unconditional caring).As such you might have guessed to me the "perfect relationship" isn't about love -- that's the starting point -- I already care about the well-being of those I am with, and it is not conditional. I already care about the well-being of you. To me real meaningful relationship is about increase ... enhancement: are we able to have fun and enrich each others lives because we're together, ideally experiencing enhancement in every facet of our lives because we're together, e.g. career, other relationships, nutrition and health, fun, ever greater true power, etc. That's the joy of relationship, not getting to the place where you love someone.Outside of all that "nuts and bolts stuff" :-), I like the great outdoors and "moving" -- running, biking, hiking, rollerblading, working-out, going cruising in my roadster/convertible (admittedly very fast at times! ;-), going to the high country, or travelling out of state. My girlfriend or partner will definitely enjoy being active in her body too, not sedentary. I enjoy getting together with my friends to eat dinner in or out and watch a movie and have great conversation. I enjoy music of all sorts, and while I like free-style dancing, I think couple's dancing is a much better way for a man to pay attention to a woman and ideally put a smile on her face. :-)I like eating healthy food and often make pretty simple nutritious food at home (bravo Garden of Life Raw Meal shakes, some massive & quick nutrition ;-).I've experienced a lot in my life (time) and yet I don't know much trivia or repetitious world happenings (e.g. I'm not a big fan of the "bad news" and all its drama :-). I prefer to focus on the positive things in life and what is true.So Dear One, are you loving as I am -- in touch with that? ;-). Have you been around the block a few times finding out your truth about life and relationship, sure of yourself, ... or perhaps are you wanting to experience new things that really bring truth alive in you so that you can be sure? Do you like to be fit & vigorous in this body that we get to use here to move and have fun with. If you have these 3 qualities we'll have a basis for fun and potentially romance, but for sure a good friendship. ;-)Namaste Dear One ;-)Rado You know really providing the space for a woman to express herself freely.
