Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Intelligent, sensuous, compassionate, and looking for same. I'm only interested in a relationship in which communication is very honest, and open, a relationship that exists only as an opportunity to be intimate in mind and body. I'm very affectionate and sensual, and have a tendency to adore my partner. I am NOT a partner for a sexually-restrained man. I'm open to polyamory if the need arises, but I'm focused on finding a primary partner.

I hope I'm not very materialistic, yet living in North America I know I am using more than my share of world resources.

I am attracted to caring people, not to wealth or power. I've been told I lack the survival instinct! I'm not competitive.

I'm looking for long term commitment, with someone who wants to be in a close relationship that allows for the individuality of each person.

I can't see how I could live with anyone but another atheist or maybe an agnostic.

As for interests, we don't need to have the same interests at all, and as long as your interests aren't focused on spectator sports, hunting and fishing, or television watching, we can co-exist.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I've been trying for years to make it in a business too many people want to be in: archival research. (No, really, I'm serious, it's true.) I love the work, but there aren't enough clients to go around. Can't retire, and fortunately don't want to. Other than that I work on improving my health so I'll have a life.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Forgiving. Understanding people and their motivations -- even the materialistic ones.

I can focus like crazy on things that interest me, but am hopeless when I'm not interested.

Giving massage but I'd really love to receive some too.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

Notice? I seem to be very ignorable, look like everyone else. When people meet me, they often say I remind them of someone and they wonder if they know me from somewhere.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

My taste in music is embarrassing for someone my age. I was far too old to attend raves, but discovered a few years ago trance is my favourite music. Classical, classic rock, some modern rock, world music, ancient music, certain kinds of folk, and other. I'm quite put off by country and by most pop.

Movies are something I've avoided all my life, whenever possible. I still haven't got over the scene in which the child dies, in Lawrence of Arabia. If it ever stops haunting me, maybe I'll try another movie. Yes, I am impressionable.

I tend to read books for information and ideas; that's my idea of entertainment. Non-fiction.

Food? I've been vegetarian for thirty five years. Mostly cook at home for health and to please my own quirky tastes. I no longer use food as a source of entertainment. On my deathbed, I'll call for artichokes, avocados, and almonds.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

I had to remove the list of things I couldn't do without. I seem to have learned to get by without any of the things and people I thought I couldn't live without. Even my cat, the best roommate I ever had, has died and I'm still here and doing fine.

Health matters.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

-- the future. I wish I could be here for another sixty years, to see what happens next. I find it strange that we can look backward in time for thousands of years, but almost not at all into the future. It's unbearable to think that at some point, I will know my curiosity about the future will get no further satisfaction. Being mortal sucks.

But I DON'T spend a lot of time thinking about the precarious state of the world. I have enough grief from my personal losses, without thinking endlessly about our impending doom. However, if you have any new advice as to what I can DO about the world, feel free to email me with your suggestions.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

doing the same things I would be doing on a Sunday night or Monday night. I don't enjoy following schedules. Friday evening, I might just carry on working because whatever case I'm on is so interesting. But if you're the right man, you would find it easy to distract me.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I'm not a very private person. Lots of friends and acquaintances already know more than they need to about me.

You should message me if Propose an edit

you're individualistic, and want to share thoughts in the night.
