Am bookish as my username suggests. But am told by women that I'm "handsome, hunky, very likeable and charming". I'm no spring chicken but I'm also told I don't look my age. I work out so am pretty fit in a well-built broad-shouldered kind of way. Love reading, art, theater, culture. Adore animals of all kinds. Am a casual dresser but can slip into a tux on occasion. Am a straight shooter, always in a good mood, love listening (I really do!). Not a party animal, but if I go for one, I'm often the most fondly remembered per there. Make friends very easily but friends that last a lifetime are hard to come by. Have a great sense of humor! But know when to keep quiet and just enjoy the sunset - or my partner's company. Politics and sports bore the heck out of me. You're welcome to talk about both if you like, but you'll never catch me watching a sports or business channel or getting riled up over some political cause. Not promiscuous at all - the opposite in fact. Have had very few partners. Coming off a long marriage which ended a couple years ago to amicable mutual agreement. Have grown s from that relationship and am in touch with them regularly, part of their lives. Work for myself so am flexible on timings. Every day's Friday but everyday's also Monday. Love life, nice people, s, animals, books - sex is an important part of life, not the whole shebang. But when I get involved, I'm hundred percent. Very passionate, caring, considerate, not clingy, very relaxed, casual, fun to be with, and did I mention good-looking and charming? :-)

My Ideal Person Intelligence is the first and most important quality. A sense of humor is essential. Love of books would be great. Animal friendly or at least kind to animals. Good looking, fit (not necessarily muscular but am just as attracted to strong athletic women as I am to voluptuous ones).

The rest is up to you. Am looking for a real person. Not a body or a type.
