Help! Light spirit trapped in studious persona ight-hearted, heavy-minded intellectual guy here, seeking an in-shape younger companion with cultural, spiritual and political interests. Friends first: Sex, if at all, later....... I am most usually attracted to in-shape guys in their 20s to early 40s (unless you can change my mind on that), who have warmth, humor, sensitivity to others, and intelligence. And who like intense eye contact. And I would REALLY like a reply from somebody who actually took the time to send me am intensely interesting and intelligent email, and whose profile sounded like he had something to talk about........ First, let me get a few of my pet peeves out of the way. I'm not interested in hooking up. Sounds like what I used to do with my dad when we were baiting our fishing lines. And as I read profiles on dating sites, I'm really curious about why some guys put so little on their profile, as if a mere camera shot is all it takes to excite contact. Do these guys not have anything to say about who they are? Are they so cynical that they think that no one on this site even cares to find out? It's only in relationship that we even discover who we are; and if someone's in the position of needing some mentoring to help discover that, then for heaven's sake SAY SO. (Actually, that's kind of a turn on.) ..........I've made some friends on here, and hope to make some more. I enjoy sitting with coffee at a street cafe, going to street fairs and flea markets, seeing a movie with someone I can actually talk to about it afterwards, and walking on the beach on an early fall afternoon. Or listening to Enya or Brahms or Sarah Brightman or S&G. Or walking in Riverside Park when the dusk has almost slurped up the afternoon light. Or spending Saturday nights Country-Western two-stepping........... I'm a great fan of history and culture, and I'd love to do some traveling again very soon... I'm already planning a trip for the near future -- maybe to a town near YOU....... Ok, I do have my quirks. Would you believe that I collect Austro-Hungarian postcards and porcelain, and I give my friends custom-made collages for Christmas? Yes, yes, it's true. Also, I have an academic background (PhD in Philosophy, Master's in Theology) and I do college teaching and academic writing. So I'm looking for someone whose eyes don't glaze over when I start mumbling about human existence. I try to do more than mumble, however. I'm active in a liberal church (United Church of Christ), and do my best to treat others as I would like to be treated.......... If you've read this far, and haven't clicked away, chances are that we've got something in common. So if you fit the bill here, then please private message me or email me. Window shopping is fine, but life begins after you pass through the take out line. (Or something like that.) I'm ready for take out....... Guys in recovery particularly welcome........ Again, thanks for reading this -- David
