NOTE: While my Profile steadfastly insists that I have declared no preference, I have searched the site for a way to correct that statement. I am secure in my sexual identity as a woman life would be more complete with the friendship or companionship of a man with similar interests.
Despite having many interests and a goodly number of acquaintances - men, women, married, single, straight and all the letters of the LGBT continuum, I find myself lacking in the department of male companionship and I've thought several times about the possibility of looking on-line for a remedy. I guess serendipity struck when a Google typo presented this site in response to my unrelated search!
I LIKE Persons who are genuinely warm and interested in others, and who are grounded enough to empathize with the problems of others without losing their own perspectives. I DO NOT LIKE persons whose life experiences have left them chronically angry and bitter. I avoid the company of people who are unable or unwilling to see the good in others, and who hold onto anger and disappointment like treasures to be nurtured.
Most of my activities are (Albany-area) local, since I do not own a car. My interests do tend to exceed my budget, so I need to prioritize for events that I really want to attend. I'm very comfortable using public transportation, and look forward to finding a person with whom to share the upcoming summer experience. I DO NOT KNOW IF ANYONE WILL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO CONTACT ME BECAUSE I WILL NOT BE "UPGRADING" TO A PAID ACCOUNT.
My Ideal Person:
(Sorry if this starts out looking like the Boy Scout pledge!) My ideal companion is thoughtful, reliable, considerate, and has a keen sense of humor and a positive outlook. He is equally comfortable in a group setting or sitting in silence. He has a healthy tolerance for the processes and problems of aging, and accepts challenges to health and mobility with grace and fortitude. (To be continued . . .)
