Shovel ready boy friend for the stimulus program. I am looking for a very fit, attractive and wealthy (as a result of Olympic Golds and Nobel Prizes) nymphomaniac who's liberated and subservient, can cook up a gourmet meal at a moments notice, and is a cheap date. I would hate to miss any widow of opportunity. What I am not is a celibate, teetotaling vegan, savoring the newly discovered joys of Buddhism. But I can compromise if you will.

I relish the delightful gender differences. If there's chemistry (and physics too!) then of course I am open to everything and more. But I have found that to be elusive in the 20 years that I have been divorced (after a 16 year marriage - my boys are 33 and 31). So I have temporized, with less than nirvana like results, but I remain optimistic. I am still looking for an intimate soul mate, companion and lover, for a totally balanced relationship in every way.

I love the outdoors, kids and dogs. My credentials are geeky, but my demeanor is not; I do march to the beat of a different orchestra. I ride, three sheets to the wind, a scooter (think large Vespa - that's an oxymoron) around SF, but use a car for the bridges and tunnels. I'll even take you for a ride if we don't exceed the weight limits (go figure; my share is about 155 lbs. but I don't ride stark naked, neither would you) - you get to straddle, not side saddle. On beautiful SF days, I love walking near the ocean, especially at Chrissy field, and then ambling into the Warming Hut.

Over the years some girls (all right, women) have even called me handsome and cute, among other such things. I am not sure whether it's because I can be very silly, or were they addressing my butt? And I do make passes at girls who wear glasses. But there's a mutual disconnect with those that are insecure and/or pretentious, and not very comfortable being themselves.

I am youthful (you should see the length of my telomeres, even in my dotage as I get long in the tooth) from a lifetime of competitive squash, tennis and other athletic endeavors, in great shape, and live alone. I love to read, envy those with a green thumb, or real aesthetic and artistic sensibilities. My eclectic taste in music (no rap, please!) shows in my 4300+ collection of the very best on my iPhone. Politically, I am green, socially liberal and fiscally conservative. If I leaned any more progressively, I'd fall over to the left. Screw the NRA, eschew unfettered capitalism, educate and heal, make love not war ...

You will find me to be very bright (effervescently so actually), hospitable, entertaining, amusing, fair, forgiving, charitable and gainfully employed with flexible hours. I am an earthy (salt of the earth?) man of many appetites. Does garam masala turn you on? Born Hindu, my only dietary restriction is I eschew Islamic vinegar.

My mother was right, I am special (but not for everyone).

After 30 years in Corporate life, I am now a private coach in all the Math and Science subjects for mostly HS kids, but a few younger and older. Google: ramesh sf tutor.

Being comfortable in all social circumstances, with dogs and kids, racquet sports (even allowing for age), acquiring knowledge and reading just about anything. I like my singing voice - you may join the majority that don't.

Is he really trying to make a good first impression? His 'listening' (I hear everything!) seems to be inversely proportional to the unprompted and uninterrupted length of my discourse. Such an amusing man, from?

More into non-fiction, but can't abide the touchy-feely stuff (e.g. Deepak Chopra, the charlatan). Read lots and favorites include Between Silk and Cyanide, The Man Who Knew Infinity, Sindh Revisited, Out of Africa, Reach for the Sky ... too many to mention.

Will share my long favorite movie list if you wish, but they include Good Will Hunting, Scent of a Woman, Walk on Water, World's Fastest Indian, Bridge on the River Kwai, Paradise Road, My Cousin Vinny, Midnight in Paris, Gandhi, Lawrence of Arabia, Harlem Nights, Tea with Mussolini, Fried Green Tomatoes, A Foreign Field, Lives of Others, King's Speech, Goodbye Mr. Chips (original), Eye of the Needle, Deathtrap, Sleuth, Cider House Rules, Secondhand Lions ...
For silliness and side splitting hilarity, Rat Race, Peter Sellers Pink Panthers, several Jim Carey, Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy and Rowan Atkinson movies.

Friends, touch, love, family, mental and physical stimulation - that includes exercise (is sex?!), racquet sports, books ...

Even in my dotage I have a fast mind and metabolism, so I think about many things all the time and can honestly focus on more than one thing at a time.

Feeling that the next day is Saturday. Does the eagle fly on Friday or Saturday?

In my preteen years, during a railroad trip in India, dressed in all white shirt and shorts (why?), I sat on open Papaya. Helter skelter, pell mell, all was at sixes and sevens - that's Dickensonian. Analyze that if you wish to violate me or my privacy!

- You are fit (hwp/athletic/slim/slender - less is more!), smart, worldly, tactile, sensual (pretty please?), and looking for everything in a balanced relationship.
- You're not into convoluted thinking and analysis - I don't buy the 'Windmills of My Mind' song stuff, though the words are clever. Frugal is admirable, but fair is also very important.
- You are open to a new relationship in its many forms, beyond 'pen pals' or 'new friends', march to the beat of a different drummer, have an irreverent iconoclastic streak (or you just streak, age be damned!), coupled with a politically incorrect sense of humor, and revel in the theater of the absurd.
