Male/50/divorced/attorney-consultant. My apartment in midtown Manhattan looks out on the East River. An hour outside on the balcony could restore life to the dead. Having someone ... alive ... to share it with would make it even better. ----- The Kid is married, works for a bank and wants to be a rock star if she grows up. (She claims to be waiting for ME to grow up ... we've agreed to disagree on which of us is the adult.) I have one dog, my very first, about whom I could go on at incredibly boring length, but I'll spare you ... for now. Don't say you weren't warned. ----- I'm a city-boy and tend to like city-stuff: museums, good restaurants, movies, concerts, theater, libraries, zoos, parks and just walking around Manhattan. Best street theater in the world. ----- Though a city-boy at heart, I do escape from time to time. I have a place in the beautiful New England mountains where I hide out when things in the city get hectic. My dog prefers it (yes, I know how weird that sounds) so we've been spending more and more time there. I've been getting pretty fond of it myself. We spend a lot of time hiking or snowshoeing through the surrounding woods. Hanging out in front of the fire. Reading (me ... not him ... at least I don't think he reads much.) The kinds of things I'd always imagined doing with another PERSON. I still think that would be nice. The dog agrees. ----- So ... what kind of person am I looking for? Female. Breathing. Beyond that I'm flexible. I'm told that strong relationships are built on compatibility and I'm sure that's true. But differences are good too. The more alike we are the more we have in common. The more different we are, the more we can learn from each other. I'm attracted to kindness, warmth, generosity, humor, intelligence and a reasonable dose of sanity. "Pretty" is always a tie-breaker (I'm human and male, after all) but no more than that. Race, creed, color, religion, age and national origin are optional. (Well ... you should have one or more of each ... I just don't care which.) I'm an equal opportunity lover.
