UPDATE: I am not old, just experienced!! You know, funny things happen when traveling through life, we acquire notions that we can know a person by looking at their age and assume that if they are young or young acting they must be immature; if they are older then they must be out of touch. Both are wrong. Age just tells you that experience has been gained and we learned well from experience.

I am very caring, loving and sensual person, artisitc in nature and very open minded and accepting. Basically open and active by nature. My orientation is straight but enjoy the company of all types of people as friends in a variety of activities. Love to touch, kiss and caress. Not into control, humiliation or pain. Retired from post secondary education and, as such, love discussion and exploration on a wide range of topics. Desire open relationship = both ways]] not based on marriage type commitment where all can feel free to be themselves.

Retired and, as such, am relearning to do the things in life that I really enjoy. These things are painting, drawing, photography, outdoor pursuits [and being a grandfather to 3 wonderful grandchildren], and loving. I love to explore the world around me and my preference is to ride a motorcycle in exploration or to explore the islands on a sailboat. I love feeling the wind in my face!!

art, outdoor activities, writing, conversation and making people happy. I also am a pretty good cook and enjoy fixing food.

tall, blue eyes, good hands, reasonably good looking, very independent and reasonably intelligent.

Why so many people consider loving, kindness and pleasing to be a sign of weakness. Philosophy and meaning of life with a satirical twist. Humor about the world and the people who inhabit it. Why age is important to meeting people (I think it is not very important).

just enjoying life (as each day). I often like to go out and people watch and visit on Fridays. When with a special lady, I love cooking a good meal, drinking some wine, making love while listening to beautiful music.

I am philosophically polyamorous (can love more than one person at a time equally) but am very loyal and not promiscuous. I desire "open" relationships that do not involve control. I view sex as a fun and sensual byproduct of loving friendships and not of commitment or control.

You are willing to be loved completely by an attractive mature (aged like a fine wine) man who will make you feel absolutely loved, respected and dreaming about the next time we are together. If you are seeking a "spouse or spouse equivalent" I am NOT the one you are looking for but if you want an attentive lover who knows how to please a woman I may be your man. You are not looking for a replacement partner but an enhancement to your life.
