My Favorites
Music: No favorites -- quiet, non-invasive, background, instrumental, occasional vocal. TV Shows: I have no interest in watching television -- which makes a lot of time available for actually doing things and a lot of experience that is not exactly typical. Books: Wide ranging non-fiction -- often alternative views of world affairs and history, or science and the environment. Quotes: The journey is the objective. More About Me: After being a member for six months or so, I have decided to change my search to focus upon "friends" (from "long term partner") for the following reasons: ---------- 1. As friends we need not feel pressure to find or to be an "ideal mate" or a "soul mate", but can relax and enjoy the company of someone who is less than a "perfect match". Friendship may be more appropriate than "mate-ship". ---------- 2. Friends need not meet any standards of physical attraction. They can be tall, short, fat, skinny, out of shape, strange looking – or whatever – without affecting friendship. ---------- 3. Friends need not be the same age (now that we are past high school), but can be decades apart without anyone being a "coyote", a "cradle robber", or a "dirty old man" when being "just friends" with someone of a different age group. ---------- 4. Friends need not have the same religious preferences; thereby avoiding any divisiveness or segregation due to religion. Friends are not expected or required to attend church together – or even to discuss religion. ---------- 5. Friends can do things together without regarding it as a "date" (avoiding any attendant implications or obligations). ---------- 6. Friends need not have the same attitude toward animals. The "crazy cat lady" or the "stray dog collector" can associate (at least briefly – off premises) with someone who does not wish to focus life upon animals or live with them. ---------- 7. Friends need not be sexually intimate – thereby relieving concern or pressure about such matters and eliminating possibility of "one night stands", "players", "booty", etc and avoiding difficulties arising from differences in style or preference (while leaving intimacy as an option if appropriate). ---------- 8. Friends can comfortably have very different food preference. A vegetarian can associate with a carnivore without difficulty, particularly if they do not dine together (and friends are not required to dine together or discuss food). ---------- 9. Friends can have different interests, perhaps sharing very few – enough for an occasional outing. ---------- 10. Friends are not expected to provide sustenance, or financial support, or cruises, or "the finer things in life" (as they might for a mate). Friends need not commingle their finances. ---------- 11. Friends can be together only when comfortable for both – and not when "a bad mood" or hormonal or personal problems would make association unpleasant. Friends can "walk away" (never to return) if their associates become intolerable. ---------- 12. Friends don't have to share a bathroom or a bedroom – thereby avoiding a lot of problems. ---------- 13. Friends need not be intellectual equals or be of similar educational levels. Differences which might be insurmountable in close association can be overlooked or not even noticed between "just friends". ---------- 14. Friends may enjoy being alone much of the time, and not having a mate in residence, and not being expected to be constant companions. ---------- 15. That said, however, if I encounter a woman with whom I share values, interests, attitudes and lifestyle, and if friendship develops into something deeper, I am very open to considering a long-term relationship (or even "the M word"). -
