I'm a happy, fun-loving, physically fit man who loves his job and is a committed father to a pair of wonderful young adults. I'm down to earth, with a good sense of humour, and like to laugh (even at myself). I enjoy being around people....family, friends, neighbours, and even strangers.I enjoy listening to music and my tastes include jazz, rock, alternative, hip hop, classical....just about anything. I appreciate the occasional trip to the symphony and enjoy live performances of any kind. Conversations in a coffee shop.....live concerts by the river....weekends away. I am excited by trips to great cities yet find more beauty in nature and the outdoors.S. are some of my all time favourite places. I also enjoy travelling outside of North America and hope to see a lot more of the world. (I know it sounds kind of snooty but was actually a lot of fun!) On the more adventurous side.... Next year I`...which may require winning the lottery. (Hey...can't hurt to dream a little!)About you... You are an active, physically fit, intelligent, affectionate, easy going, open-minded woman who is upbeat, enjoys life and likes to travel. (Like I said.....can't hurt to dream a little.) OK...so if you're most of these things, most of the time, and are interested in my profile....I am interested in dating at first but would definitely be open to something long-term if it felt right. Profile pictures please!!"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do then by the ones you did do. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

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.

I love to joke around and laugh so I hope you do too. I have two very sweet dogs. I\'m looking to meet animal lover, someone mature, honest, and sane that can become my best friend and more.
