Hi there! I wish I could give you a concrete answer why I am here; HOWEVER, since I have been a loyal Mingler for several years and have had absolutely no good fortune in even meeting one single solitary honest and for real good woman, I have decided to keep the reasons why I am here quite vague and generally difficult to comprehend. This is a profile revision... I'll try to keep it short and simple... WHICH is kinda hard for me to do since I am an intelligent and fairly complex individual. I've already written more than I had planned. Evidently, excess verbiage is a big turn off... Hmmmm Does this mean I'm burning my bridges? ORRRR is this a culling method? A good attention span is highly appreciated by yours truly... AS IS a sincere appreciation for good communication whether it be serious, day to day, or down right silly. Creativity is a must as well... AND a true genuine open mind. Don't tell someone you have an open mind if you tend to judge them by some preconceived wish list that you have conjured up in your noggin. Possessing a good sense of humour would be nice... a pleasant blend of whackiness and LIGHT sarcasm... I know that many of us revel in our sarcasm WHICH seems to be the American way now-a-days, BUT hard sarcasm can hurt and is somewhat droll and impolite in my opinion... Silliness rocks! ANYWAY.... I'm a fifty-something employed single male of North AND South American AND Caribbean ancestry. I'm smart and quite clever... I'm creative... I'm not a prince nor am I a pauper... I'm just surviving as comfortably as a single hippy/beatnik/tree hugger possibly can these days. I like to laugh... I have a for real and true open mind... I enjoy good company and great conversation. I have many interests... too many to list! I have long hair... I smoke... I don't have a boat or a motorcycle. I love animals... I don't hunt... I love nature in general. I would like to meet a REAL woman... Age, race, and physique are not necessarily important as long as you are a beautiful person (in the 60's hippy sense of the meaning) AND as long as you are R E A L! Well, so much for the condensed profile revision and vagueness :P
