Going to be blunt - tell it like it is: Contact me if you're interested.

I'm a decent guy, easy to look at, easy to get along with, easy to live with, easy to talk with. None of us are perfect.

Everybody is looking for someone or your profile would not be here. Looking for someone to come home to, someone to care for, someone to care for them. The biggest disease today is not tuberculosis or malaria, it is the feeling of being unwanted. Lots of us suffer from it - older guys, younger guys too.

For an older guy I'm in decent shape, 5'10” tall, 155#, 32” waist, 32” inseam, shaved head, smooth skin, salt 'n pepper moustache, work out at the gym a few days a week. I'm educated, semi-retired, ddf, non-smoker, pretty limited alcohol consumption. Live in a decent place, semi-rural in the southwest, close to a college town. Enjoy the quiet of rural and wilderness places. My creativeness is in the wood shop.

A comparison: Older guys usually have real estate which makes them immobile but they can usually give someone a decent life (if the person that amalgamates with them is young enough maybe a pretty good start in life) and as a rule they make pretty stable long term companions/lovers/friends. Younger guys in contrast are mobile, some too mobile, many equate sex with emotional attachment, many are not interested in older guys but wonder why their younger lovers turn over so often, and many are needing a start in life but not able to give one to someone.

The guy's profile you are currently reading is one of a terribly large growing number of tired older guys. Tired of spending a lot of time searching through innumerable profiles of mobile guys (younger and older) who's profiles suggest they could be compatible. They write those that say they are interested in the older's age group, only to find that person seeks someone younger, or across the street, or a couple of blocks away, or comes with enough baggage it answers your question why they are still looking.

So, after giving serious thought to this whole process, and having spent considerable time wading through innumerable profiles, let me say this: "if you should find me attractive, someone you might like to know better, and have considered that I've probably not found anyone simply because I've quit looking (so I can spend what is left of my time doing more creative things rather than writing to uninterested individuals who brush you off) – then write!" Realize, however, I'm most likely not across the street from you, or a couple blocks away, before you hit the reply button, and just 'cause I'm thin and in shape, I'm not a kid.

I'm one of those many many older guys tied to the real estate they own, which makes them stable where they're located. So, for you guys looking, remember: It's kind of like fishing...the best catches are not going to be at the dock you're standing at, you gotta go where they are and bring something of interest for them to be lured to you..
