Man. 44 years old. Zodiac sign: Leo.
Looking for: woman. In age: 41-51
Getting back on my feet and getting my life back together after a failed marriage. Things are civil between myself and the ex for the sake of our child. Getting re-acquainted with living alone. It has it's advantages to be sure, but I miss the companionship.I work with my family, running a small sales & I'm the resident computer guy / quality guy / warehouse manager / whatever other hat needs wearing guy. Working with family is without a doubt the most frustrating and rewarding way to work. I have a 10 yr old daughter who's incredibly awesome, and obviously part of the package should things get serious. Split custody & residence, so she's with me half the time. I have my free weekends though, so there's plenty of time for meeting & greetingSpeaking of serious, POF's wording doesn't exactly match the option selected from the list under the "Intent" field. Casual Dating somehow translates to "isn't seeking any kind of relationship", so I changed it to "I want a relationship" To clarify, I am looking for someone, I'm just not going to rush into the first potential relationship to come along. That said, I'm not looking for serial dating either. I want to meet new people, and make new friends, with no expectations. If / when the right woman comes along, we'll both know.I enjoy a wide array of activities from strolling museums to biking wooded trails to rocking out at concerts. I'm a new convert to the gym, starting this past Jan. Never thought I'd get as hooked as I have, but feeling better than you have in years will do that for you. I'd like to get my ski-legs back as well. It's been many years since I've enjoyed that, and I really want to get my daughter started. I'm always up for pick-up games...volleyball, basketball, softball, whatever. Looking to meet someone to share these activities with.I love art, but I'm not much of an artist myself. I tend to be more logical / rational / scientific about things. I try to balance the dryness with a sarcastic sense of humor. My humor can run dark at times, and I credit that to the absurdity of our world. Sometimes you just can't help but laugh at what life throws at you, and laughter always makes it easier to deal with.Musically, I love almost all styles, but I'm a rocker at heart. From 50's doo-wop, to 60's psychedelic, to 70's classic, to 80's metal, to 90's grunge, I like it all. It's not all crunchy guitars though. All styles of music have their time and place, even classical. My current go-to radio stations are 98.3 The Shark. Thanks to my daughters influence, you might also catch me listening to WBLI. About the only music I can't wrap my head around is either super-twangy country, or hardcore thug rap.You'll almost always find me singing a song, but I've never done karaoke. Maybe you'll be the one to convince me...Socially, I'm very liberal and open about most issues. Live and let live! Have to keep an open mind, and I'm always up for debate. If you really want to catch my attention, challenge me, make me think of an issue in a way I haven't before. I'm more conservative financially, and I can be a bit old fashioned when it comes to dating and romance. I'm fine with a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, a mixed drink, maybe some light eats. How about a walk down at the beach with an ice cream? Casual and comfortable for conversation is best. Someplace where it's easy to talk and get to know one another.

I'm a happy and optimistic man. Fairly confident, comfortable in my own skin, interested in the world around me, and can deal with life's issues in a calm way, most of the time. I'd enjoy a relationship with a woman who is optimistic and educated. I don't mind having a partner with a child or children, as long as she supports the children's relationship with their father. A wicked sense of humor always a plus, of course, but not a must.I have lived in several countries and speak a few languages. Can't live without a good book and unplanned day or weekend car trips once in a while. I enjoy outdoors - hiking, skiing, etc. I also enjoy working on my laptop at a local coffee shop or just having my coffee with a side order of people-watching. A glass of wine or dinner at a decent restaurant, where you can have some privacy and music doesn't make your ears bleed, sounds like a perfect setting.

I'm basically an easy going guy most of the time and would describe myself as being: intelligent, respectful, kind, romantic, decent sense of humor, shy, outspoken, warm, exciteable, pasionate, gentle and articulate. I like to have fun but know when it's time to be serious. Looking for someone to spend time with and enjoy one another's company. Open/direct communication is importamt to me. I tend to get along best with people who have an apreciation for the arts in general, be it music, theatre, literature or anything else. I'm not crazy about the bar scene- it's fun every once in a while but for fun I'm more likely to take a hike or find a good film to watch.My sense of humor ranges from the intelectual to warped and most stuff in between including the dark and twisted. I love political satire like the sketches SNL does- also wacky whimsical stuff like Montey Python. One of my main interests is music, I play guitar, sing and write songs. I was in bands in the past but nothing more than the occasional open mic these days. I like all kinds of music from Mozart to punk rock, especially indie bands and power pop.I love films, some of my favs are: K-, The Squid and the Whale, Wedding Crashers. Some of my favorite authors are: Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Also interested in martial arts, I have trained in Japanese karate and Jiu-Jitsu, they are lots of fun and maybe I'll start some more training if I find a good school. I like motorcycles, I have an old honda that I like to ride around in the summer. For religion I put other which is misleading but it's the closest thing that fits me. I consider myself spiritual, not religious. I mostly like eastern philosphies like Taoism and Buddhism but find they fall short sometimes. I find that all religious doctrines usually have some parts I can embrace. I enjoy conversations about: psychology, society, corporate and political structure, literature, music, pop culture, films etc.Some other random things I enjoy are: skiing: x-country and downhill, travel, trips to NYC or the ocean, hiking/camping/backpacking, yoga/tai-chi, kayaking, science/nature documantaries, rollerblading, bicycling, triviaFor body type I put average but more accurately I would say both "athletic" and a "few extra pounds". I'm looking for someone intelligent with a warm heart, emotionally available, passionate and of course the all-important chemistry. Someone who knows the value of respect. A first date should be casual, just a chance to meet face to face and see if you enjoy the person's company. Grabbing a coffee is good for that.
