Date men and women from California, United States. A tall, bearded guy, who has been described by others as a hunk, a hottie, and a gentle giant. I have creative, inventive, and artistic sensibilities, dabble in photography, and have done a bit of writing, poetry (three books) if I''m particularly stressed. I'd particularly like to meet a gal who is accepting of a (just a) few imperfections, but appreciates someone who is special. A woman who isn't afraid to be adventurous, as in, sailing out to sea or riding on a motorcycle. I dig artistic, agreeably attractive (a tall, beautiful, slender, and graceful woman) who is down to earth, a peaceful disposition, and has a great sense of humor. I have been mistaken for a certain unique actor who was in MASH, the movie (hint: not Gould). I believe in giving a woman trust, respect, and freedom to do their own thing, and expect the same in return. I believe other living things are people too, and I try to withhold judgments of other people until I've had a chance to see them express themselves for a time.
