Looking For Affection and Excitement

I’m an agreeable guy with two grown daughters, a granddaughter, and a goofy but lovable dog. I’m kind, open-minded, loyal, and have a relaxed but clever sense of humor (although you’d never know it from this profile ‘cause I get intimidated writing these damn things). I’m serious about physical fitness so I work out strenuously several times a week. I’m drawn to art, literature, philosophy, current events, finance, the web, and other nerdy computer stuff. I love classical music, jazz, and blues. Recently I’ve encountered the work of Alan Watts, and become interested in Zen and meditation.

I'm retired from a 40-year career in IT, starting as programmer trainee, slowly moving up to the executive level, and spending my last few years in consulting. Now I'm able to live my life as I want, opening up a whole new world. For example, I spend much more time with my two daughters and my granddaughter. Also, to satisfy a life-long fascination with philosophy, I've been taking courses at UIC (University of Illinois at Chicago). Despite having no formal background in philosophy, I've done well in both undergraduate and graduate courses. I’ve been most intrigued so far by two graduate courses, one on the philosophy of space, time and special relativity, and the other on the philosophy of quantum mechanics. Finally, I'm taking piano lessons, which has given me a wonderful new way to appreciate music.

I’d love to meet a smart, sincere woman, with proportionate height and weight, to share exciting events – concerts, the opera, movies, ethnic restaurants, working out together, outdoor adventures, travel near and far, or whatever else we choose. Also, I’m very romantic and cherish quiet times where we just enjoy being together – relaxing, talking, exchanging experiences, sharing viewpoints, holding hands, cuddling…..

I’m enjoying myself at this point in my life. Like everybody, though, I’ve been affected by disappointments and frustrations along the way, and I’ve certainly made mistakes. I believe we’re all dealing with traces of the problems we’ve faced over the years, magnified by our own missteps. So I’m hardly seeking personal perfection in a companion, just someone genuine who, anomalies and all, desires an affectionate and pleasurable friendship with a good man. That’s a sound starting point, and if something more develops, wonderful; if not we can still have fun together, or both move on with no harm done. My ultimate wish is to find a loving partner, merge our lives, and cheerfully grow old together.
