I should say right up front that I am a married male in a polyamorous marriage. My life-partner, leafish, and I both aspire to having outside relationships with interesting people that we have chemistry with. I'm not in a rush to get into your pants, I want to get to know you and find chemistry before we get there. I realize I'm probably looking for something even rarer than the proverbial unicorn - not a bisexual woman, but a woman open to someone who is looking for a non-exclusive relationship. I suppose ideally I'm looking for a woman who is already in a primary relationship. While I'm open minded as to age, my general preference is for women over 40 and older.

I have many varied interests from Buddhism to quantum mechanics to Jungian thought to liberal politics to cooking and good wine with side-tracks to boat building (dories), remodeling, computers, river running, Wilderness and wilderness-access politics, reading and books, music, some politics, and movies - and that doesn't touch the list.

Probably the biggest thing on all my lists is reading - books, real books (not e-books) rule! I have a 20,000+ book library, even if most of it is currently in boxes. Aside from Science Fiction and some Fantasy, I adore reading classics, interesting novels and a great deal of non-fiction running the gamut of subjects from Jungian psychology to Deep Ecology to history, technology and especially science. Authors I'm currently reading are S.M. Stirling, Jack McDivitt, Spider Robinson, David Brin, Stephen King, Barbara Kingsolver, Larry Niven... you get some idea perhaps. My video collection isn't as large, but covers the range of Like Water For Chocolate, Shakespeare in Love, a wide range of documentaries, Coen Brothers movies, classics like Casablanca, sci-fi, LOTR, Quentin Tarantino, Ridley Scott, Firefly, and damn near everything in between... On a more serious note are things like "The Case for Mars", Feynman's Lectures on Quantum Electrodynamics, TED videos, and everything from Sleepless in Seattle to Pulp Fiction.

I'm politically becoming more liberal with age despite starting out fairly liberal to begin with. I had high hopes for the Occupy movement, but they seem to have lost focus.

I am kind, affectionate, physical, intellectual, loving, respectful, assertive, tactile, extremely verbal... oh yeah, did I mention very sexual? I figured that was a given.

Physically I'm 6' and 170# and pretty fit. I came to Colorado for the skiing, climbing, kayaking and other outdoor activities. I still am active outdoors, though now primarily camping, exploring back roads, day hiking and whitewater rafting. I still wear the same waist size I did at 18 and I don't have a gut that hangs over so I guess I'm in good shape. Used to ski and was a very serious climber, but now I'm a poster-child for trashed knees and shoulders. I still like the outdoors in every way I can get it - it IS church you know.

I tend to like women who are natural, into the outdoors, a bit nerdy or geeky - if you're a hippie chick (of whatever age) or into alternative spiritual or health practices, artsy stuff, and wilderness and outdoors freak - you're my kinda woman. If you're comfortable in jeans and comfy clothes, hiking boots, spending a week running a river or finding out where that road goes, you're my kind of woman. If you practice buddhism, taoism, paganism in various forms and scientific atheism or agnostiscism, you're my kind of woman. If you dig LOTR, Firefly, Star Trek, Mythbusters, maybe know who Richard Feynman was and most especially if you read, you're my kind of woman. Especially if you love a good, spicy flirtation.

Married and in an open, polyamorous (NOT political poly for sure) marriage. Neither of us was ever very good at the monogamy thing and although we're deeply committed, we both seek outside relationships for a wide range of rewards - sex, companionship, conversation, diverse interests and excitement. Along the way we've had some deep friends and in the end that is what is most valuable - connections.

I am NOT promiscuous and am seeking women who are interested in something less than marriage and living together but more than a one night stand. I don't do casual sex (unless the chemistry is blindingly uncontrollable) and I hope for an ongoing friendship, shared mutual interests, and hopefully some fun. I suppose it would be most appropriate to find another poly-friendly woman who already has a primary partner although I am certainly open to single women although I'd prefer if you weren't some kind of psycho hose beast bipolar crazy.

I'm in the midst of reinventing myself after over 30 years in the computer and IT field. Now I'm fabricating fine furniture and art pieces at the shop of a well-known artist near Boulder and loving it. I also do custom electronics and microcontroller software - for things like hydroponics, alternative energy guitar effects processing, home automation and such. I don't know if this is where I'll land, but it is far more satisfying than filling out TPS reports and working for 8 different bosses at something with no soul. I've been involved in engineering my entire professional life, but that field and computers in general have become so corporate and bound by rules, regulations, bean counters, and corporate HR people that it is very difficult to find a job where the company has a soul.

Aside from reinventing my career, I have a wide range of passions and deep interests. I'm currently finishing up my forth comprehensive green remodel in the last 20 years. I have deep interests in the tiny house movement, passive solar design, carpentry and remodeling work, alternative energy, sustainable living and the whole gamut of related trades.

Listening, solving technical problems, guitar, massage, sensual things like good food and touch, white water rafting, reading, language, physics, wood and metal working, construction and remodeling, sustainable living, gardening and alternative energy...lots of things. More to come.

My smile, my eyes, perhaps my beard, my words, my mind... my interests?

Books? Too long a list to mention - non-fiction science, history, environment and too many other topics. Fiction I lean heavily toward hard science fiction, LOTR, classics . Movies, again - too long a list though I'm very fond of the Coen Brothers, Clint Eastwood directed movies, Sci-Fi, some action. TV Shows - well I don't watch TV (Breaking Bad being the exception). Music, progressive rock and metal and bluegrass and Mozart and Bach and ........ Food, I love to cook and impress people with lusciousness. Food and sex are inextricably intertwined. Sensual pleasures all.

Books, a roof over me, deep conversation, sex, learning new stuff, and Wilderness. 6 Things is too few.

wilderness, politics, finding my next career, my wife, my daughter, books to read, good movies, hobbies, sex, ... not in any particular order.

Home with my wife watching movies and making something interesting for dinner.

Hmmm, That my wife and I have been in an open marriage for 15 years. That'll do for starters.

...anything in my profile interests you. You are interested in any of the things I mention and like a decent conversation. That you are in an open marriage or polyamory interests you. That you have any common interests - regardless of sexual attraction, a good conversation is a hard thing to find.

At the same time, just because we're not potential lovers doesn't mean we shouldn't have a conversation. One can never have too many friends for interesting conversation.

By the way, while I am hoping to find a lover, I am far more interested in finding interesting friends with common interests.
