I'm the nice Jewish boy, now all mature and grown up, that your mother wanted you to date when you were younger.

I prefer someone who can hold a conversation for more than fifteen seconds without it turning to her ex or “the business.” Looks are less important than a New York attitude. If you are originally from Brooklyn, that would be a big plus.

I am degreed, politically savvy and know the difference between a salad and a shrimp fork. I prefer watching to participating in sports.

I have a terrific, and slightly off-beat, sense of humor. I enjoy long Sunday drives to nowhere in particular, flea markets, rock and roll, jazz, big bands, the arts and the Dodgers. Hey, I'm originally from Dem Bums hometown. I love kids, dogs and cats.

Age wise, I'm looking for someone who recalls when the Beatles performed together. Although not particularly religious I lean towards Jewish women but religion is a state of mind over matter and if you don't state it it doesn't matter. Tobacco breath is a no-no, as is drug use. Social drinking is a yes-yes. Past relationships are ok just as long as they stay there.

Now that you know something about me, tell me all about yourself. Let’s meet for coffee and conversation and take it from there.

Living the Vida Loca since I retired. Volunteering to help my fellow veterans. I recently began working with a group to feed the less fortunate.

Reading other people's BS.

My brain.

I'm a Trekkie - but only the original series and its TV and movie offspring. Ferengis are my favorite aliens.

I read primarily non-fiction and liberal leaning political commentary. life is so much more interesting than fantasy. I just finished reading Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean. Who knew?

The New York Times and even the New York Post are superior to the LA LA Land Times.

Give me tickets to a big band concert or REAL rock and roll shows and I'm satisfied.

We can discuss that over dinner.

I'm thinking I'm thinking.

Usually out bonding with close friends.

I never would put that on-line. What a foolish question to be out there in cyberspace for all the world to see.

You want to continue the conversation.
