Robert

I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

Sensitive. Caring. Sincere. Fit. A good listener. Intelligent. Tactile. Affectionate. Politically aware. Musical. Frugal. A bad housekeeper. Healthy. Curious. Impatient. Lonely. Hugely relieved at the Obama victory.

My tastes and personality often do not fit in with gay culture. I am who I am.

ESL teacher. Massage therapist.

Read my interests, my blogs, and send me a message - I will respond.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I value sincerity over cleverness any time. Someone who can be still and be themselves, here and now. Someone who can listen as well as they talk. Good huggers.

Activists for social justice and energy reform.

Anyone with a spiritual practice that doesn't end up hurting others.

Anyone who has taken the time to read my profile and who shares any of my interests.

A man who is capable of loving a man like me.

Someone who sighs out sonnets in the midnight air.

"Passing stranger! You do not know how longingly I look upon you,
You must be he I was seeking, or she I was seeking, (it comes to me as of a dream,)
I have somewhere surely lived a life of joy with you,
All is recall'd as we flit by each other, fluid, affectionate, chaste, matured,
You grew up with me, were a boy with me or a girl with me,
I ate with you and slept with you,
your body has become not yours only nor left my body mine only,
You give me the pleasure of your eyes, face, flesh,
as we pass, you take of my beard, breast, hands,
in return, I am not to speak to you,
I am to think of you when I sit alone or wake at night alone,
I am to wait, I do not doubt I am to meet you again,
I am to see to it that I do not lose you."


Walt Whitman

I invite YOU to consider the looming problem of an unsustainable American military empire:

I invite YOU to consider how the Corporatocracy controls our government, most governments of the world, enriches the few elite, and keeps a huge portion of the world's population living in abject poverty:

I invite YOU to consider the sober responsibility we face of undoing Bush-era damage to our Constitution, our security and our moral authority...

I invite YOU to find out where your tax money really goes...

I invite YOU to consider how a non-religious morality might be more useful in making the world a more peaceful, loving place:

And don't let socialism ruin your summer vacation!
