About Me

I'm a semi-educated (BS & MS Science, MFA Ceramics) and well traveled guy. I work in the high tech world and love gadgets. I have a wicked/sarcastic sense of humor and love my bike, books, movies, TV, travel, dining out, and new experiences. I have a patent, have written several books, and numerous magazine articles. I have three adult children, all of whom have graduated from college and are on their own. I'm close to all of them and see them at least once a week. I'm a PC not a Mac guy, I like the Android not the iPhone, but favor my iTouch over a Zune. I have a Nexus 7 tablet and it's running Android 4.2.2. When I see a cheap electronic gadget I usually buy two of them***to have and play with and the other to take apart. I'm the guy who is passing you: "On your left!". At one point I managed to consume 4 root beer floats in just under 7 minutes- I own one car and 3 bikes. I have almost as many bike jerseys as dress shirts. I have started training for Ragbrai ***. Want to join my team? Bike the Drive is coming up shortly!I can usually find something new and interesting to do in the city every week. I just went to the One Of A Kind show, and SOFA on Navy Pier before that. The auto show can entertain. (You can do some pretty crazy things at the auto show.) Lots of summer festivals too.- and sell my designs at the occasional weekend art fair.I'm a romantic at heart and want to find someone who is active and engaging. I want a partner and a connection - intellectually, physically, & emotionally. My partner must be able to laugh at least some of the same things I do, or me. I am looking for someone who has the ability to perceive the absurdity of life and to laugh at themselves (and me when I deserve it). I want an equal partner- not someone who wants me to continually chase after them. We should share the chasing!-**stards, Torpedo Boyz, Gin Wigmore, The Civil Wars, Fritz & the Tantrums, classical, blues, and jazz.Finally, I always see the glass as completely full. Half water and half air is still full to me. So you can see I probably don't think the same way as most other guys. I'm a liberal, atheist, and if you think your religion tells you to hate/shun/condemn gay people- keep on looking somewhere else. (And ask yourself why you don't own any slaves- after all your Bible lays down the rules for owning and treating your slaves.) We each get on separate L trains (different lines) and randomly get off and on until we meet up. Then we walk ***block to the nearest Starbucks where you have coffee and I have tea. After a 3 hour conversation we discover we have both forgotten where the L station is.Or we travel to the nearest "Cash for Gold" store where we pretend we don't speak any language that the store clerk does. We indicate that we want to see the merchandise. Then we offer them cash....

    Man. 55 years old. Zodiac sign: Aquarius.

    Looking for: woman. In age: 52-62

    I'm an extrovert, fit & athletic, 6' ***", 205, spontaneous, adventurous, dependable, charismatic. My preference is outdoor activities whether it's tennis, the beach or hiking in the mountains & to get as many sunsets as possible. Since I grew up in Motown rock n roll is in my blood & my preferences include everything except punk, rap & acid rock. Women tell me I'm a handsome man w/ an infectious smile, nice teeth, style & class, a good sense of humor & nice eyes. My bags are always half packed because travel is definitely a passion. I'm single out of choice so that I am available when the time is right...my choice is to wait patiently until you appear & then it'll all fall into place...the belief of "all good things w/ time"...it would be wonderful to connect & shorten up the "time." You are fun-loving &; know your man is out there looking for you. You believe in The Higher Power knowing there's more than just glue that makes this wonderful world go round. Could I actually be on *** You bet & I'm waiting to meet you. You enjoy your work yet desire a loving, mutually supportive, dynamic relationship w/ a man who is worthy of you & will love, support & adore you. The relationship would always be the #1 priority & both you & I would honor it as the wonderful gift it is. You’re tired of men who are overgrown boys & believe you deserve a unique lifestyle. The beach, mountains, hiking, music/concerts, travel & family are some of your interests & you'd love dancing on Sun afternoon to blues in shorts & sandals or *** a formal affair in a gown...&, yes, I love wearing a tux... I hope you're doin' well & I look forward to hearing from you.Let me know if this story speaks to you about a 17 yr old boy ready to graduate from high school. He said, “Dad, for my graduation gift all I want is that red sports car.” His Dad gave him a book & in anger the son threw it down on his Dad’s desk. His Dad died the next month. While cleaning out his Dad’s personal effects he found the book & accidentally dropped it on the floor...out popped the keys to the red sports car. Moral of the story is life doesn’t always package what we want in the exact manner we envision it. The real gift seems to be in knowing when a gift is in our presence...& could you & I miss out on meeting because we possibly assess our chemistry by a few "still photos of each other?" without getting the full essence of our energies & passion which can only be known by meeting in person? So let's not let the techno-age cause us to miss out on a face-to-face meet & greet especially if you are tired of overgrown boys who send you "inappropriate" pics & immature, flippant texts... A meet and greet is EZ because we can have a kind yet quick exit if the elusive chemistry is missing...& by meeting *** the beach, if we do connect, then it can be an ideal setting to really get to know each other. I'm not your traditional, mainstream man who would take you to a restaurant the 1st time we meet because isn't it a meet & greet rather than a "date"?...to take each other's temperature w/ the chemisty thermometer? Hopefully, you agree because I feel it's all about being "with" you, not "where or what"...that comes later...& it's important to me, as 1 of my preferences, that you & I both appreciate &/or love Mother Nature...+ there's also the spiritual thread that comes w/ the mountains & the ocean...& if we don't share this as a common thread that's ok, too...it is what it is &, *** the same time, I would have difficulty being "your" match because belief in The Higher Power is 1 of my few must-haves....+ being around the ocean for me is like being around the Energy of Life...I respect you time & your search for the right man &..so hopefully you feel the same way, are smiling right now & visualizing your favorite beach...ciao...Jim

    Man. 52 years old. Zodiac sign: Virgo.

    Looking for: woman. In age: 49-59

    Active, self-employed single father of 3 sons. 2 are UH students, one at Lonestar. At their age, I'm free to go and do when I choose. It's fine if you have kids at home still too. Happy to be alive and healthy.. grateful for each day and the people in my life.. and always eager to get out and play on weekends, and sometimes on weeknights too, but also love to snuggle on the couch, or just about anywhere else :) I'm looking for an attractive, active, fun woman to share life with. If you have a great sense of humor, that would be a huge plus, but please have at least a good one :) I"m looking for someone to date, and hopefully something that will develop into a long term relationship. I"m looking for my best friend, co-conspirator, lover... you just have to sign a waiver that you won't testify against me. I'll do the same for you. :) In my personal time, I'm easygoing, relaxed and casual, though I do dress up well when the need arises. I don't sweat the small stuff, and avoid people who create drama where none exists. I try to look for the comedy in most situations..it's usually right there if you look for it..and once I get a feel for you ( so to speak ) there may be times when I make you laugh out loud or at least giggle insanely when you'd rather not, but you'll just have to deal with it. If you could occasionally do the same for me I'd be ever so appreciative.I'm bald on top, brown hair otherwise :) I'm 55, not 52. People tell me I look years younger in person...people I don't know and who don't owe me money. I lift weights for exercise rather than beer cans. I do enjoy an ice cold brew, just don't substitute it for exercise or food :) When I'm standing up and look down, I can see my shoes, my legs, my shorts or jeans, and if my shirt is tucked in, which is admittedly not that often, I can see my belt buckle as well.I enjoy riding my motorcycle, but you don't have to if you don't like it...I don't ride it that much anyway, and don't do long trips on it. Just got my ***season tickets for the Texans..if you're into Texans football and tailgating you rock! I belong to a large fun tailgate group as well ( previous Tailgaters of the Year winners) If you're not, you'll have to excuse me a few sundays this fall and hopefully 3 or 4 playoff games!-Bone Tom's, as long as I have a cold adult beverage to assist in the effort. Any outdoor place, live music or not, works for me. Love being by the water-Noah's Ark, Pod- I hate when that happens. I enjoy Vegas as well, but haven't been there in a few years...I was just there the last weekend of January for the first weekend of Mardi Gras :) Love going to the beach, or hanging by the pool when there is adult company. My pug no longer gives me strange looks when I hold long poolside conversations with her - she just *** I like most kinds of music except rap or hip hop...just not me....love live music! Would like to learn to C&W dance better. I do have a cousin who gets me great passes for cookoff tents. I tried deep fried oreos and a twinkie and I wish I had my money back! LOLI don't have great pics on here...seems I'm usually the one with the camera, and there's that casual thing I mentioned above, but there is one dark pic of me in a suit...yes, it is really me... I work in pajamas, so what do you expect? :) I"ve been told I have nice eyes, am easy on the eyes, and that I have great legs. No really LOL More pics will undoubtedly get added over time if I'm marooned on this damn site for months longer.I am somewhat picky. it may seem shallow, but It is what it is...we all know what we are attracted to.. If I don't respond, it's nothing personal...I just don't see a match. It happens to us all :)Send me a note if you want to know more. I am not looking for *** you aren't ready to date. or are just looking to entertain yourself, move along to someone with similar interests. Coffee? Drinks? Wherever you are comfortable..Seems to work well to have a quick, no pressure initial meeting to see if a longer date might be fun.
