About Me

So I'm trying meetville - was an OKC user for about 18 months and met a couple of interesting people, but not my lifelong soulmate - so I am hopeful he's around here somewhere. Hopefully you! I can come across as a little intimidating sometimes. I'm bright, confident, a take-charge sort. But once I know I can count on someone, I'm able to let my guard down and soften up a bit. I'm one of the most genuine people you will ever meet, sort of an unusual combination of practical, fun, lighthearted, serious ... and I keep a lot of balls in the air at one time. So here’s some things about me … I am introspective, compassionate, a deep thinker with a wicked sense of humor. Politically, I lean left on social issues. I believe that a society is only as strong as its weakest member, and I believe that those of us who are more fortunate have a responsibility to those who have less. Certainly there is some abuse of the system, but I think that outside the truly antisocial among us, people truly want to be productive, happy, and successful. Not everyone is lucky enough to be born into that sort of happenstance. I love kids, though I am no longer actively raising any, and they tend to like me too. I have one small dog, quiet and generally well-behaved but somewhat high maintenance (Chihuahua). Musically, I tend to gravitate more toward the obscure. Listened to new wave in the eighties, alt rock in the nineties, and these days I like 91.7 quite a bit. That said, I am really open to all music and am a fan of most of it.) love live theater, symphony, indie artist small show or an outdoor one. If I do see a movie, my taste goes more toward indie/foreign as opposed to blockbuster. Food – I am on a bit of an Indian kick these days. I also love sushi and most other ethnic foods. Small and independently run restaurants get my vote any day over chains, fast food, or big box options. I try to make vegetarian choices – both for health reasons and because of the ecological impact of meat production, as well as the cruelty rampant in the industry. I am also ever more concerned about corporate profiteering and the shortcuts taken by the food industry – corporate greed at the top and misplaced emphasis on responsibility to shareholders is putting our collective health at risk in ways we can't begin to imagine. On the subject of food, it seems there's a number of really big guys on here who haven't quite figured out yet the connection between diet and lifestyle and health...so I’m going to be honest. I like big guys! Tall, a little overweight, that's fine with me. That said, I work daily on making healthy food decisions and on exercising “on-the-go” – taking the stairs, walking everywhere I can, bicycling, foot scooter, lol, even some skating. It’s a process. I understand that decisions today affect health later, and I try to act accordingly. If you aren't there yet, I don't think we'll be a good fit. Because of the work I do I know what happens in our fifties and sixties if we let ourselves completely go in our thirties and forties ... so I fight it tooth and nail :-). Another thing about me – my schedule is unusual. I will be able to tweak it some to sustain the right relationship, but right now my work requires some evening and even overnight hours. I love the work I do and the feeling I have when I know I made a difference in someone’s life. Contributing to the world in the way I do is important to me, and I want to continue it in some capacity for a while yet. Here are some things I’m hoping to find in a partner. I guess this is somewhat a wish list. interested in education and a lifelong learner – these are pretty important. Tolerant of and kind to small animals and children. In terms of personality, someone who is more open to reflection than concrete knowledge of how things are, approach life’s problems and solutions with an active and open mind toward improvement and tend to see the glass as more full than empty. Hopefully you’re not overly egotistical. I prefer a guy who is able to take charge and problem solve and help me stay focused – I am somewhat an idealist and can be off in a lot of different directions sometimes! Someone who can both tolerate that and help redirect me when needed would be awesome. With any luck, I'm not asking the impossible, but I know I'm asking a lot! Do you enjoy bicycling, walking/hiking, talking, holding hands, travel and adventure, camping, swimming in lakes... if it seems like we'll have fun together, we can figure it out from there. if you live in the burbs, I'm happy to meet you closer to your part of town. DFW has so much to discover.

    hi. i just popped in to delete everything i'd previously written. i truly don't know what i'm looking for, or if i'm actually actively LOOKING for anything. some days i think my life is pretty perfect as is, lol. others.... like tonight... perfect fall night. i'm a little lonesome. so if you want to know more, ask. i can assure you, however, if you're one of the guys who get ticked off because i won't meet them or go out with them after 2 *** messages, it's not gonna happen, lol. i'm in no hurry.... (most of the time)... but it IS getting cooler. nights are starting to feel all-too-perfect for snuggling. if i can remember how to DO that... lol. OH... i came back in tonight after a fairly long period of not logging in & it looks like all my previous correspondence has been deleted. someone's way of telling me it's time to start over? well alrighty then....... get set.... go? in addition.... i'd just like to add that i must be having a serious mid-life crisis; i've never really understood this whole harley phenomenon. but tonight... man.... i can almost see myself on the back of some sweet man's bike. it's just perfect outside.... why am i thinking like this? AM I LOSING MY MIND???? (no i do not have any tattoos and that will NOT be next, lol.)

    Looking for: man. In age: 46-56

    I enjoy snow skiing, love to dance, play golf, go to movies, concerts, horse back riding, and all water sports. I love to travel. I'm smart, quick and secure, I can run with the best of them. I have fantastic friends and family. I'm very active.I am a true sports fan! If I can't get to the game, you'll find me watching it somewhere with a margarita or a beer in my hand. I like a night out on the town, but can be just as comfortable with movie night at home or a back yard BBQ. I'm a romantic at heart. I love passionate kisses, and cuddling by a warm fire.I'd love to meet a man who is a hopeless romantic with a great sense of humor and outlook on life is a true necessity. I hope he is secure in himself and has a strong sense of integrity. I want him to be fun loving and honest. There is so much more I'd like to experience, so many places I'd like to see. For a first date I would like to meet at a nice quite place for a drink to sit and talk face to face without interruptions to get to know each other better and see where it might lead. No pressure.
