First, I have a spouse who has medical issues that preclude intimacy. And, frequently, she is unable to leave the house. But she understands my need for same. So, I'm looking for a relationship with a woman who does not need marriage, or a full-time partner. Not just for sex, but a true FWB. That said, I am intelligent, witty, steady temperament. Enjoy arts, sciences, film, books, music, food, nature. Easy company. Honest, tolerant, communicative, independent, sensitive, responsible, generous. Like to talk, discuss ideas. Self-assured. Can show emotion when the situation warrants it. Offbeat sense of humor. Love Mammoth in the summer. Collect books, videos, CD's. Been to China (Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, Guilin, Hong Kong), London, Victoria, Vancouver, TJ, Mazatlan, Guadalajara, most of U.S. Cruised to Alaska twice, Hawaii twice, Mexican Riviera, Panama Canal. Polite to everyone. A bit adventurous but not a daredevil. Non-volatile, No heavy baggage. No STD's. Not good with kids, dogs, horses, motorcycles, car races, line dancing, country music, rock climbing, bars, hillbillies, wrestling. Lost 70 lbs. since photo was taken. Still losing (about 1 lb./week.) Passionate; love kissing, hugging, spooning, fondling, etc. Also, please keep in mind when you are viewing my answers to the questionnaire ("The Two Of Us"), that my responses are based upon my current status and not what I would necessarily answer if I were single. Also, as a male, I have answered several questions from a male perspective. For example "Would you date someone who has had a homosexual experience?" would be very different than a woman's response. First, most men are turned on by the idea of two women engaged in intimate contact. Whereas most women would be turned off by the idea of two men so engaged. Also, the STD risk is many times higher for homosexual men than it is for women.

I've been retired for 2 years. I was a computer consultant before I retired. I spend a lot of time renovating the house, tying up loose ends from my working life, reading.

Computer stuff, getting massages, kissing, puns (gawd!), giving bad advice, allergic reactions, Heimlich Maneuver, floating, humor, swearing, Jeopardy, spelling, Geography, hard science.

Opening night at Grauman's or the Cinerama Dome. Musso and Frank's at the counter. From simple diners to exclusive restaurants, I like them all. Love to read (science, classics, sci-fi.) Music - most classical, Moody Blues, Who, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Beatles (who doesn't?). You get the idea.

Indoor plumbing (thank you Thomas Crapper)
Air conditioning (thank you Dave Lennox)

The meaning of life (or lack thereof), the interactions between the electron and the photon, sex.

At home, watching TV or reading (so sad.)

That I'm not willing to admit anything truly private here, or almost anywhere else.

You've read my profile and are still interested (duh!)
