Please, only single or divorced women! I'm a simple fellow and I'm not ready to deal with a third per in the relationship. Please, only people from the States, in particular the SE Michigan area. I'm a divorced father of two, and I have the s half-time. I alternate between sedentary and active pursuits, according to no pattern I've been able to determine. I enjoy reading, walking in the woods or on a beach, photography, and computer programming. I'll bicycle, swim, or garden. I enjoy building things, whether with my hands (carpentry, home renovation, wood-working, furniture refinishing) and with my mind (programming, writing, and story-telling.) My sympathies to you if you have a tattoo. Please don't flash them at me. I grew up in a house on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, and the sound and sense of the Great Lakes can send me into reveries. I am from and of the Middle Coast, the Land of Sand and Moraines, of fruit trees and wild raspberries. It is not a Lake if you can see across it. It is not Snow if it doesn't come up to your knees. It isn't Ice if it doesn't tower over you. I'm not a sports fan. I prefer participatory sports such as softball, soccer, volleyball frisbee-golf, etc. I've no interest in football, basketball, hockey, boxing, wrestling, or NASCAR. I'm not even sure I can fake polite interest in those sports. Except for a glass of wine every week or so, I don't drink. I suppose you could call me terminally sober. I've never developed a taste for beer or ale, or any of the harder spirits. I don't disparage those who do drink, but I don't take kindly to people trying to force alcohol on me. Fool that I am, I don't seek out bars. I suppose my chances of getting laid would be improved if I did. I'll politely agree to go to one, but iced-tea would be my mood-altering concoction. I was married for 14 years, and she worked hard at turning me from The Path Of The Bachelor. I'm afraid I've been backsliding since then.

My Ideal Person I'm looking for someone female, through and through. (Sorry, no gay men, TVs, or TGs.) Someone who is at once practical, and has a life of the mind. A sense of humor, certainly. A willingness to at least inspect their own values and marvel at how they came about. I don't care if she's a tom-boy or a girly-girl (or sometimes one and sometimes another), as long as she's comfortable with what what chance and genetics has given her.

I'm looking for someone with a sense of the sensuous, someone who, even if they don't agree with the distinction I make between the erotic and pornographic, can explain their own distinction without clobbering me with an appeal to authority.

I'm looking for a dinner companion, a book-store companion. Someone who will show me something new (and might be willing to drag me there, despite my reluctance.)

I'd like someone I can come up on from behind and kiss them on the neck, someone who could enjoy that either as a prelude to something more intimate, or just for itself if they're not "in the mood". (I've enough of flinching.)

If you've read this far, then a meeting for coffee, tea, or a dinner is possible (if you're female.) You've demonstrated persistence, and that ought to be rewarded!
