Date single man from California, United States. Each new day brings the promise of romance and adventure. Incurably optimistic, life has been good to me. Financially and emotionally secure, am considered highly intelligent (especially by me), fun-loving ; considerate; fun to be with (if you enjoy fun). Extremely affectionate, not your average guy, reasonably sophisticated. A good kissor (and a grate spellar.) I love learning languages and enjoy interacting with people of other cultures. I enjoy speaking in foreign accents and am a sometime pro dialect coach to actors, in addition to my other stuff.. I've contributed articles to national magazines, am currently finishing my "unauthorized" autobiography. I'm easy-going, generous. From serious to silly in sixty seconds. Biggest turn-on: Love at First Sight. (Sometimes it takes a bit longer ... I'll wait.) A World-class Cuddler, I'd rather watch a funny film with a fine femme than a football game with the fellers. My ideal companion is considerate, clever, witty, goodlooking, in shape, (sorry). Intelligence is crucial. A healthy lifestyle. Be self-confident, but when you need support, I'll gladly offer mine. One of my great passions is world travel. Let me take you to my favorite exotic locales: Borneo, Bali, Barcelona, Barstow! I'm kidding ... about Bali. (NOT) Another of my great passions is ... passion. The joys of life increase tenfold by adding one to one. I grew up on NY's upper Westside and go back as often as I can. Would love to live there ... in spring and fall. The photos in turtleneck are from June 2010. Me and the tree, in jeans, (not the tree, me) taken Aug. 2011. The tiger and lion pics are obviously older. As are the tigetr and lion. The primary photo and a headshot were taken Nov. 17, 2011.
