About Me

This urbane beast enjoys light-hearted laughter and in-depth conversation, exploring the outdoors and savoring home-life, accessible entertainment (pop/rock music, indie flicks, paperback fiction, etc.) and the fine arts (Baroque ensembles, Expressionistic painting, male figure photography, etc.) AND exchanging our juicy sirloins and having my shish-kabob skewered, along with loads of smooch and snuggle.I'm an unattached 58 year old, 209 lb., human services professional living in my country home -- close to town -- where I'd be happy to host ya or take a quick drive to your place. I'm more or less "out" to most people, while respecting other guys’ possible preference for discretion.Except for rather lean arms and back, my build is commonly called “bearish”: bristly and bulky chest & belly, firm ass & legs. A salt ‘n’ pepper full-face beard (trimmed), and a bald crown with thick darkish brown surround (streaking grey). In the absence of scientific research, it seems true to say that the amount of fur on my trunk and limbs is probably above-average. It’s also drk. brown and starting to grey) My complexion is Irish-light Not a cute boy or glamour model (thank heavens), but altogether easy on the eyes, me thinks.My personality traits might be said to include the following: artistic, earthy, easygoing, a bit eccentric perhaps, friendly/kind, intellectual, low maintenance, sensitive, practical, romantic, self-confident, serious, responsible, spiritual, unconventional, free-spirited, and (obviously) oh-so-modest.

My Interests

Favorite Leisure Activities: Camping and Picnicking, Bird-Watching, Dining Out, Entertaining Friends at Home, Hanging Out with Friends, Intimate Conversations, Listening to Music, Meditation, Painting/Drawing, Photography, Reading and Writing, Taking Long Walks, DVDs/videos/TV, Going to the Beach and Flea Markets/Garage Sales, Studying Philosophy & Human Sciences, Art Galleries, Bookstores, Charity Events, Coffee Houses, Comedy Clubs, Concerts, Libraries, Live Theater, Movies, Museums, Parks, Political Events, Restaurants, Symphony, Volunteer Work and Events. Favorite Cuisines: American/Canadian, Chinese, Greek, Indian, Italian, Mexican, Middle Eastern, Seafood, Spanish, Thai, Vegetarian/Organic, Vegan

I'd like to meet:

Like me, you're calmly masculine, spiritual but free-thinking, non-fanatically healthy, affectionately/playfully erotic, imaginative and knowledgeable, politically and culturally progressive. You're probably not more than 15 years older/younger than yours truly. But ya never know now, do we?. You MUST live nearby in the EUP, northernmost LP, or Algoma District of Ontario. Like the majority of us, you are just normally neurotic. Race/ethnicity is immaterial to me. Pretty much the same holds true with respect to looks, although it must be admitted that "extra credit" is awarded for ample fleshiness and body/facial hair. You and I MUST have at least some interests and personality traits in common. The aim is friendship, preferably with lust, but not just playing in the buff. More than just drop-by trick or occasional phuck-buddies, but less than instant darlings.
