I'm a health, happy, fiscally responsible, self-depricating, and reasonably neurosis-free guy. This gender profiling is a strange new world for me! Am I thin? fit? athletic? curvy? Three questions in and I'm stumped. (I have to confess that I recently took an aerobics class.... thanks Groupon, a class at least half full of genuine oldsters, and the next morning could barely get....out...of....bed, and raising my arms over my head was completely out of the question. So, "thin" might be the best description... since "weakling" was not a body type option). And, just to thoroughly exhaust the subject, I'm glad to see that "curvy" is a body type for men as well as women. I have a number of guy friends that I'd consider "curvy", but I could never tell them that. Any man who describes himself as "curvy" on a dating site has reached unparalleled heights of male self-actualization (and should be scooped up immediately!)
I work as an art conservator, specializing in paper art (20th c. prints and drawings, Japanese screens, antique globes), and besides art, I'm somewhat obsessed with music, old and new. I exercise almost daily but have never understood the (mostly) male interest in watching other people do sports... especially on TV. I'm most interested in learning new things, trying classes, sports, books and movies, and taking new situations with an open mind.
I'm looking for a woman who is mature, creative, interesting, fun... and funny (or maybe someone who can explain the appeal of "Downton Abbey"!).

Working, playing, taking care of my family and friends. I'm a bit beyond trying to acquire more stuff, so this year I'm working on simplification and de-acquisition.

... conversation. One of the benefits of growing older is having had a wide variety of social experiences, so I enjoy being in new situations and meeting new people. I'd much rather have an interesting conversation than a safe and boring one, but I'm also aware of a side of me that can be parental, pedantic, paternal, (and alliteratively.... annoying).

People tell me I'm calm! Not sure whether that's good or bad.

Favorite writers; David Foster Wallace (but not the fiction), Jonathan Lethem (but not the non-fiction), Philip Roth (but not the late work), Jonathan Tropper (but not the early work), and Richard Ford and Jon Krakauer and Jess Walter, etc. etc. Movies; Hitchcock, Woody Allen, Coen brothers. Music- I listen to jazz and rock and roll. And I like ALL food!

coffee, biking, the Minuteman bike path, and the Minuteman Library network, music (from Mingus to Marley to.... Modest Mouse), movies, and museums.

Recently... I'm spending a lot of time thinking about these damn questions! (and... entropy, the mystery of the Republican Party (who would EVER vote for John Boehner?), and the decline and fall of Western Civilization).

going to the gym, playing squash, having dinner with friends, watching movies.

I'll change the question to 'Rock and roll band of the last 10 years that I'm embarrassed to admit that I like?' Answer... Weezer.

... you're interested in having coffee, or a meal. Going to a museum or movie. And, I'm ALWAYS looking for a squash partner (I've got the courts if you've got the backhand!)
