In His Own Words
About him
This might not be the right time for me to be doing this but then: when would be? Sometimes I feel like I am my age. Or older. But not usually...most of the time, I think I act, look and feel a lot younger. 66 going on 23. . .
I'm kind, I'm honest, I'm liberal...I hate to draw a line in the sand, but if you voted for Donald Trump, you probably shouldn't contact me.
I'm a professor of music theory,a jazz composer and musician
I have too many cats (4). I'm a cyclist...and I have some baggage (who, at my age doesn't?). I'm pretty far from perfect, but still very worthwhile. I don't drink or smoke or do drugs... I'm horrified that I live in a world with the circus of the Donald. And like most people: I like movies, music, books, food. . .very opinionated about some of these things (especially music, and try not to be a jerk about it. I'm into a huge variety of music, but at the heart of it is jazz (and NOT "mellow" jazz) and contemporary classical music. . ..my tastes in everything, music, movies, food, whatever are eclectic and varied.
EVERYONE says they value humor...I do too...but mine tends to be: irreverent, a bit snarky, often prone to sarcasm , other times just silly..
I am both charming and awkward. . .I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve. . . I like to spout clichés.
At the moment, if you were to ask me what I'm looking for, I'd say: companionship. Friendship. That could grow to more. Someone to share adventures and the ordinary with. I'm looking for a real relationship. . .and yes, I am single and unattached. . .a widower.
Trying to live how I think I should; not always easy. Trying to find joy.
I love to read, I love movies and music and food, most kinds, exotic or humble. Would like to travel more.
I didn't answer many of the questions, as i can't find the answer I wanted for a lot of them.
About his ideal match
I'm looking for a women who's smart, witty, creative, and who speaks her own mind.
She should be cynical but not hopeless, maybe a little spaced out, but not gone, and someone who cares about the things that matter . . . who reads, who cares about the why of things, who lives like she believes (or as close as possible). Who likes to laugh at herself, at me (if we get to know each other) and the world. Especially the world.
Someone who is passionate about what they are doing.
...and: more involved with the world of ideas than the world of things...
. . .and by cynical, I mean: in regards to various social, political and cultural institutions, not meeting a potential friend or soul mate.
