My self-summary
I'm a scientist, spending most of my day behind a computer screen, but I'm athletic and active, and work out regularly and enjoy swimming, golf, hiking, spinning, and skiing. I also like music, the arts, and films, rich dark beers, a good espresso, books and bookstores, and cats of all kinds. Life is a constant balancing act between the body and the mind, and the left brain and the right brain. Although I'm realistic and matter-of-fact on the outside, I'm passionate, emotional, and idealistic
at the core.

I've traveled a fair bit, having lived in Hawaii and Germany, and have friends across Europe. It would be wonderful to continue my travels and visit those friends with someone special by my side.

I'm looking for an attractive, feminine, stylish, educated woman, an intellectual who is in shape and likes the outdoors. Someone who is down to earth and honest, sexy and intelligent. Who likes hiking boots and high heels equally. Someone who likes to go skiing (or swimming or hiking or ...) and to the symphony or the theater. Who can be silly and funny and playful, but who also thinks deeply about the world. Someone with whom I could travel the world, or simply share a coffee at the cafe down the street and talk about life, the universe, and everything.

I'm looking for a connection, chemistry, and closeness, honesty, openness, and beauty, fun and depth...a deep and serious long term
relationship with someone with whom I can share my life. Everything is better when you share it with a loving partner.

If you're brash, love the bar scene, and into playing head games then pass me by. For me, it's important to say what you mean and
do what you say. And, as I've learned from painful experience, long-distance relationships almost never work.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm an astrophysicist, working for NASA. When I'm not doing astronomy, I'm swimming, working out, playing my acoustic guitar, sitting in a cafe doing a crossword puzzle and drinking a latte.
I’m really good at
The NY Times crossword puzzle (Sunday through Thursday - Saturday's is impossible!)
The first things people usually notice about me
I actually have no idea - I've never asked anyone!

(Postscript...apparently, my eyebrows.)
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
The Guns of August; The Shipping News; Shakespeare

To Kill a Mockingbird (both the book and the movie starring Gregory Peck); The Lord of the Rings Trilogy; most documentaries by Ken Burns; Eddie Izzard.
The six things I could never do without
Coffee (preferably espresso)
Good Beer (dark [porters and stouts] or wheat)
My acoustic guitar
The touch and embrace of a woman
NPR (news, "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me"; "Car Talk")
Music (from Beethoven to the Beatles to Bruce to Radiohead to...)
Exercise (why stop at 6?)
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Stars and galaxies...and how to meet a kind, intelligent, attractive, single woman interested in a long term relationship.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I actually like Christmas music, of all kinds, from classical to carols to cheesy pop. And I even like some kinds of fruitcakes.
I’m looking for
  • Straight girls only
  • Ages 34–50
  • Near me
  • Who are single
  • For new friends, long-term dating, activity partners
You should message me if
you're looking for a kind, simple, straight-forward, intelligent guy, who always tries to be a gentleman and who is looking for a long term relationship.
