About Me
Lets start this off with a question. Answer it right you and you might win the grand prize. Here goes: If a man speaks in a forest and no one is there to hear him, is he still wrong?
That being said, I have to admit to being a bit of an introvert, and find writing about myself a bit of a chore, just like the rest of you. How do you do it, without coming across as a braggard? Like most of you here, I am probably a little bit gunshy..
hmmmm what to say? First off, I am 56 not 55 like my profile says. POF apparently will not let us change that. How to describe oneself? Truth be known, I am pretty normal in most things. I have been described as a bit edgy, not in the mainstream... I enjoy people who know that there is life outside the box. I am not even sure I could find the box anymore. Friends tell me that I have a very calming effect on them. That is one of those traits that we never get to see of ourselves. Laughter and fun are very good for the soul. If you feel old and act old, then you are probably not the person for me. Vitality and adventuresome are two traits I am looking for. I like to cook, but I will be honest, there is lots of room for improvement. The kids are off seeking fame and fortune on their own. I own a respectable business in Vancouver, and have for most of my life. It pays the bills and supports a healthy lifestyle. Retirement may not look like the traditional retirement, but I am pretty sure there will be lots of fun involved. I have a sailboat that I love to get out on. I would have to admit that my boat is my mistress. I know how to read and enjoy it thoroughly. I do not watch gladiator sports nor television. Intelligent conversation and discussion is the bestest! I would consider myself as a rock solid type of person, emotionally. Reading, photography, cooking, dinner out, movies, music, cultural events and anything interesting and new.... I am always up for an adventure. I make a great friend. I understand how trust, respect, safety,admiration, intimacy,sensuality, and sexuality, coupled with communication takes a relationship to levels that are more than the sum of the parts. I enjoy afternoon naps. High performance is ok, but it has to balance with some veg time. I am looking for some sort of companionship/relationship that works for both of us. One more thing. Please know yourself and like yourself for who you are, not for the image that you hold forth to society. And please, please, have a grasp of what complete honesty means.....There is plenty of depth here to explore, for those that are honest enough to explore it..
For those of you who actually read profiles, I thought I would offer this little tid bit. Don't you find it a bit odd to have all the analogies between fishing and dating? In fishing we hang a piece of bait in the water attached to a killing instrument. Something that is not what it appears to be. In fact, something that is totally dangerous... Is that what happens here? Then when the fish nibbles at it, we tug on the line and set the hook, impaling the poor fish with a sharp object. Yikes, don't set the hook too hard on me. Then we land the fish. If it is not a keeper, we remove the hook and usually tear the inner parts of the fish whilst doing it. No wonder most of us are wandering around with broken hearts. If it is a keeper, we hit it over the head, examine the carcass as it flops around, looking for scars of previous snags, any damage whatsoever. If it is not 100% perfect, we throw it back overboard, not really caring if it will recover or not. We don't check to see if it will live to swim in the sun another day or not. We then rebait the hook, and go back to fishing for unsuspecting prey! Is there something wrong with this picture? Have we lost some humanity here? Have we lost the ability to truly care for another human being after we discard them? No wonder we are gun shy!

First Date
Hmmmmm how about sailing off into the sunset? Or for the less brave, perhaps dinner on an outside patio on the Drive? Food should be a part of all celebrations....
