| Thanks for reading all of this rambling stuff. What's to know after all is said and done? Gay, baby, gay -through and through. Okay, I am your adventurous, inventive and humorous guy, but I can exaggerate some of the time as we all do. While I do go out and socialize, I also most enjoy being home and sometimes I prefer that. I simply have never enjoyed or participated in the gay scene, the bar scene or the club scene. I relate with all sorts of people, enjoy food and entertaining plus I enjoy the usual card and board games. I have a confident nature, am supportive and kind to friends and family. I search for the best in all and have a high tolerance for pretty much anyone. What attracts me to a man- its who he is, has become and what choices he has made for his life to get there. The bumps, bruises, knots and whirls of what are his make-up, personality and experience. I am chunky but still healthy. I now care for my partner of sixteen years ~ he had some strokes. Whatever time we can have left now together...I will fight for, tooth and nail. If I should send you a hello, that is just what I say, you have caught my eye. since I am searching for friendship, I would like to get to know you better and see what friendship develops with some of you in the future. Beyond that - who is to say? Life will unfold and surprise us all. Attraction? How can I describe what is a mutual agreement in the moment? Something about his smile, the way he holds himself. What can I know about him yet? Most of the chemistry is on the inside. I'll know him when I see him. Friendship, well, that must be the first part. Something to keep in mind as what attracts me is my preference of admired traits from yesteryear- probity, patience, prudence, perspicacity, perseverance. (The 5-'P's', but also - Mutual respect & honesty.) Further completing the list are again, more old fashioned traits- tenacity, faithfulness, intelligence bolstered by common sense, wisdom, confidence, nurturing and tender, men in fitted suits, ...well, I think you get the picture. At least I hope it is fairly clear by now that besides being an open intelligent person, I am searching for a few very special friends. OR- in particular a very special friend or two for life. |
