I like to consider myself a nice guy, because really, I am! Self assured, normal and sane guy and that's really all I'm looking for... I'm grounded, with an edge, interested in meeting new people and making new friends. Great sense of humor, almost to a fault, I'll laugh at almost anything including myself. If your spontaneous, love to have fun we'll get along just fine. Please, No Frogs...kissed too many already, and still a lot out there. And as far as baggage goes, we all have varying degrees of it, the ones with steamer trunks move along quietly please. Have one 's, Life is good, at times my sense of humor may seem a little twisted and warped, but always intact. I love to laugh and being a Geriatric Nurse/Supervisor for fourteen years can appreciate all the good that comes from laughing with my patients.. Today I tell nursing students, "In the field of Health Care Delivery, if you don't have a sense of humor, the industry will eat you alive", how true! Looking for friends with positive outlooks and who still have some goals in life and passion for their profession. However, being married to,(obsessive) your work, leaves no room to nuture a new relationship, balance is the key to success. Attracted to healthy, fit and HWP guys who like to live in the moment. Life passes us once, no reruns, compassion, honesty, and trust are words I live by. I excercise moderately, eat healthy, and stay fit, not a fanatic nor into any extremes or excesses of any sort. Well balanced regarding time needed to achieve a good start in any sucessful relationship.never understood the concept of open relationships, nor do I care to debate it. For myself it's never an option. I'm going to say if your not into kissing or other shows of affection it probably wouldn't work either. Being a gay man does not define who I am, its part of life, not all of my life. There are facets in gay culture that I respond to and others that I don't. Not any different than any other sub-culture in todays society. I am monogamous by nature, a masculine man attracted to masculine men. Be on top of your game, don't change for anyone, be true to yourself first and then to others. I have an average physique, HWP, working on tone and a little deinition. "I'm not, "Hot", or "Very Goodlooking", and I don't "Visit the gym daily" but certainly appreciate those qualities in others, and love to stay on top of things. :) Just the average guy nextdoor. Guys, a little manscaping is cool, totally shaved genitals does nothing for me. Like all fads, this too shall pass. Lastly, it's 2013 no excuse for not having a pic. It's like waving a red flag. Any match should be emotionally stable/available, and be financially secure. I respectfuly agree with your right to disagree with my philosophy, it's what makes the world go round. Not a control freak but enjoy giving direction under the right circumstances. If you get my drift. I love to travel, anywhere there's a tropical climate, bathtub warm water, and beautiful beaches/sunsets. Recently toured ten cities, both east and west coast of Florida. Just trying to get the lay of the land for relocating in Fall 2013. Always looking for a shared travel campanion, as I love to travel. Not yet a member of the "Machu Picchu" Gay Man's Picture Taking Club". Maybe next year Lastly,"Some guys try to have relationships way too fast, before they truly know each other. Not everyone is suited for everyone regardless of attraction, men think with their penises, not their brains." Most of us want love, who does not? But the love we seek is not always where we look. Chemistry prevails, sometimes just a look, a smile, you must bring to the table that which you seek. "This is not a "Dear Abbey" Peace
