I'm a well educated young-middle-aged guy who enjoys the outdoors, especially the beach and forest. Some people would probably consider me to be a bit old-fashioned and set in my ways. Life continues to fascinate me and every day is full, whether spent at the ocean or reading in my armchair. I strive for optimism. My ideal match would be a masculine, fit older guy, with a big heart and a patient, warm personality. A love for traditional folk music, Celtic and Western, is a plus. I am not interested in shallow or marginal acquaintances. I am told I'm handsome, comfortable, and, some say, a "Mensch". PLEASE RESPECT MY DECISION TO NOT POST A PIC. (If we seem to click, I will send you a recent full-length photo THEN.)
