Kind, sensitive, caring, honest, intelligent, humorous, inquisitive, analytical, & an independent thinker. I’m normally easy to be around, as I’m friendly, a good listener,and can stay well-attuned to others. What I read, listen to, & watch helps to define me. I read: mostly about political, social, cultural,& philosophical issues, business & sports; I listen to: a lot of radio, mostly political(liberal) and comedy. I watch:news and politics, “educational” TV,sports, documentaries,comedy, & international TV. So, I get involved with serious political, cultural, & wordly issues, but also love sports and humor. I very much enjoy intelligent, thought-provoking conversation. I can be very sociable, but am not a party man, and, although I can be OK & comfortable alone, I prefer sharing experiences with someone else. I am a “people-person” who can easily and quickly establish a rapport with others. I love the outdoors (love the ocean), nature, and animals. I am generous,and would happy to be very giving to someone I cared for, but am very allergic to takers,and must get away from them to protect my health.

Spending my free time reading (mostly current events wih some books in between), exercising and eating/supplementing as healthily as I can, enjoying spending time with friends, trying to keep a close eye on my shrunken investments, looking at places I might want to go when I stop working (the sooner the better!) Working on keeping my life more free of toxic influences, like too much politics; so, staying well-informed, but limiting the toxin levels! Also, trying to maintain a balance between compassion and being too affected by sad and tragic things events.

Engaging another in an interesting and thought-provoking conversation; writing; singing(!!); teaching; listening; reading body language; being funny and getting laughs; finding humor between the lines or under the surface; being compromising; dressing preppy(!!); traveling; watching TV & eating ice cream at the same time!

My friendliness, unpretentiousness, and interest I show in others.

Generally, too much(!), like: When I'm going to meet a lovely woman to form a lasting mutual adoration bond with; when I will be able to stop working; where would be a great place if I decide to relocate; while I'm still working, if my company merges with another,what ramifications would result;the what & when of the next major improvements I need to make next on my house; where our country and the world is headed; how nice it would be to live close to good quality Asian eateries(!).

Typically, I wouldn't be able to say what I typically do on any typical Friday night, as to date they haven't been so typical.

Because I have a somewhat voracious feeling and attitude towards learning and knowing a lot, I sometimes bite off more than I can chew with respect to things I want to read and see. E.g, I don't know if the DVR is a blessing or a curse (although I wouldn't give it up)!! Thus, I go through regular decluttering and recluttering cycles.

You're a kind, genuine, friendly,& intelligent woman, who also is inquisitive, enjoys learning, and likes staying active with your various interests & activities: you would love my company, but would like to feel free to do your own things; your values are similar to mine, but your interests & activities may not be(variety is good!); you have a relatively calm and low-keyed demeanor; you want someone want someone who is generous and would take good care of you, but you don't have any preset financial needs/expectations beyond a secure and comfortable life. Also, message me if you like doing new, interesting, and fun things; if you especially like humor/ comedy (including silly), and appreciate dry humor; if you want a man as a close friend as well as a partner and lover; if you are more of a liberal/progressive politically; if you love animals; if you try your best to live by the Golden Rule; if you are looking for a guy who makes you feel free to do things by yourself or with friends whenever you want to; if you like to cook, especially Asian & healthy foods; if you don't mind a guy who is used to a late schedule and thus is not an early riser; if you don't mind--and even better if you like-- oldies rock n' roll; if you're the type that, although you enjoy going out,sometimes to prefer to curl up and read somethink you like. I must be honest about physical preferences: Not too tall (over 5’10”), slim-average build, and good personal grooming habits.
