About Me

Darn, I seem to have lost all my contact information. Should I have contacted you earlier, unsuccessfully perhaps, please forgive the intrusion and accept my second glance as a compliment.Preface:I offered someone a smile the other day, and another a compliment, on the street, free of charge. Frankly, I did it because they were attractive, lit up my day and had thus earned it from me. I considered it basic gallantry, graciously offered, and expected the gifts to be simply and graciously accepted, no more. One was, and one wasn’t. You’d have though I was Jack the Ripper or something. So much for gallantry. A time is fast coming when none of us will rate a compliment, or even a second glance, sadly. Might as well enjoy the attention while you can get it, methinks. Even the virtual kind. ONWARD!Life is awfully short, isn’t it? I’’t delivered. Here’s an idea, let’s have some fun while we’re both waiting around. Here’s the pitch:“Tall, dark & handsome trilingual male, artist-philosopher-hunk type, might be looking for love at the moment, but life’s too darned short. It will happen when it happens, and it usually happens when you're not looking anyway. Meanwhile, the man will chose fun company over contrived virtue any day, and appreciate it solidly, in kind. He’ll even fix your lamp or put up your shelf. Well traveled, good company, monogamous, big hands. Mutual respect given and required. All the advantages of a boyfriend starter-kit.”“Will she be perfect? Heck no, I’m certainly not, but hopefully she’ll be an able-bodied, elegant lady-friend who’ She will be mature enough to understand that the longest journey begins with a single step, or not, and that trust is earned, as are respect, loyalty and friendship. And he’s only a lowly male after all, so no interest likely without a proper picture and proper introduction.Cheers!”P.S.: I’ve had the good fortune to learn early one of the better lessons in life. Perhaps you will appreciate it. I only go where I’m welcome, and I only stay where I’m well treated. That goes both ways as far as I’m concerned. Call it savoir-vivre.AN UPDATE.(The following anecdote should be taken with a HUGE grain of salt, and a good laugh).A mature lady friend of mine (M., in her late forties) recently blurted out something disparaging about older men dating younger women, rather than HER, at a friendly diner get-together. After coyly remarking that she herself was dating someone more than 10 years her junior, so what was her problem anyway, and deftly ducking to avoid the flying pint that ensued, I gave the matter some thought and decided to bring it up at the next meeting of the Men’s Advisory and Diagnostic Council On Women’s Behaviour.So, what makes younger women attractive to mature men you ask? And what part of that magic could ANY woman use to her advantage? You’d be surprised! After the general hilarity and usual banter died down, the Illuminati, all respectable gentlemen in their late forties and early fifties, actually agreed on 5 reasons their eyes and minds wander. It isn't ALL physical after all (not the top 3 items anyway). And yes, we would rather have the company of someone with a bit more "vécu", if only, if only…CONCLUSION UPON REQUEST…(if you ask nicely) ;-)P.P.S.: This is rather puzzling. My voyages in the meetville ocean keep bringing up a curious question: So how DOES one get to the “long term” without first going through the “short term”, and PROVING one is good enough at it to merit a longer posting? Any suggestions? A quiet beer or coffee somewhere sounds about right for starters. There’s no point if there’s no chemistry, no gleam in the eye, no scent. *** Amazing what those will do for two people.

    Hi, thanks for stopping by. This feels like a grueling assignment from my good old days a thousand years ago,... but here goes. One of my hobbies which I love is cabinet making, house construction and fine carpentry. I love seeing a project turn out the way it should.. I make it to the gym two or three times a week and would consider myself in good shape. I like to eat healthy but Im not a fanatic. I love to read. I like to watch NFL on Sunday's, ladies you know a man has to unwind and relax a little..lol. I have a healthy sense of humour, I like watching a funny comedy or a suspenseful thriller. I would like to travel although I haven't gotten to do that as much as I would like. Family is very important to me, I'm very close with my kids I have a strong work ethic and feel satisfied after a good productive day either at home or on the job. I like to think I have a artistry flare, somewhat creative especiallywhen it comes to my home made soups or chilli. :)

    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....
