Smart, centered, adventurous, giving, funny, slightly (pseudo?) intellectual, hard-working, hard-playing.

Living, loving, and enjoying.

Cooking, conversation, riding a motorcycle, dealing with the unexpected, shooting pool, focusing on the person I'm with, eating, listening, backgammon, kissing, solving computer and other tech problems.

My height, that I'm in shape, nice smile (so I've been told)

- Books--I mainly read histories and biographies, but I read anything that catches my interest.
- Movies--I tend towards "classic" movies, especially from the 30s and 40s, but I can enjoy anything form slasher flicks to documentaries.
- Music--At the top of my list is rock music (tending to "classic rock"), followed by classical. I don't like hip-hop or rap and I'm not wild about country (yet, some of my favorite songs are country/western songs by rock bands and rock song covers by country western artists.) I am interested in anything that sounds good.
- Food--I'm open to trying ALMOST anything (ask me about some of the things I've tried in my travels.) Anything Asian and Italian food would have to be near the top of my favorites list.

- Something good to read
- Good music
- Good friends
- Good food
- Great sex
- Adventure
(not necessarily in that order)

Here's a second list for those whose preference was "tough-guy" or "bad-ass" on "The What type of MAN turns you on Test." [If you don't have either of those preferences, PLEASE skip this part.] ;-)
- Guns and knives (switchblades, of course)
- Motorcycle
- Bourbon (single barrel, straight-up)
- Good pool cue
- Cigars
- Leather jacket
(in that order, more or less)

- Well-being and happiness of friends and family
- How to make my woman happy
- What to do and where to go on my next vacation
- The state of the world
- World politics and US foreign policy

Could be anything from dinner at a good restaurant and a concert at the Kennedy Center to ordering pizza and a NetFlix movie. I like variety and I'm flexible. Hopefully, followed by one of the things I listed in "The six things I could never do without".

I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.
