About me and who I'm looking for

About me:

"What fools these mortals be!" ~Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream, III, 2

My everyday style is colorful hippie, although I clean up well and dress for an occasion. My political opinions are to the right of left. I like video and books of news, technical, historical and nature documentary. Thriller and action flicks do not move me, but I will watch an occasional comedy or drama. I couldn't care less about professional gladiator sports, the next American idol, reality or game shows. Although not easily portrayed in profile or message, I am witty and have a great sense of humor once you get to know me. I'm not perfect and want the same kind of tolerance and understanding that I extend to others to be reciprocated.

I'm working at recreating my life to have more fun this time around. I'm retired with multiple chemical sensitivity; mainly synthetic petrochemicals that are everywhere and in everything. My diet is organic, chemical and preservative free. I smoke American Spirit organic tobacco and can't tolerate chemical additives in tobacco. I own a small home in the woods I call 'pair-a-dice', take care of myself, exercise regularly and cook pretty well.

I am a people person and open to sharing my life with a woman; but also a realist... would rather be alone than with someone that doesn't fit my lifestyle. Contrary to belief in some circles that mystery generates interest; I am visual and a vague profile, blurry, distant, dark or no photo will be less attractive. I may respond to a great photo, however to get to talking on the phone or meeting, there must be communication of attraction or commonality or my interest will not last beyond a couple of messages. I have little time for email pen pal and won't do IM, it's just too aggravating. Although I've been known to agree to a 'what's on your mind' phone conversation with select interested and interesting, fun, like minds.

I'm looking for:

This may seem a tall order; however, it would be best if the woman I'm with has an interest, or better, some knowledge of the mysteries of herbs, nutritional supplements and alternative natural therapies that have been ignored by traditional western medicine. I admit that I don't know everything, but I am intelligent, my sh*t-detector is well tuned and I'm definitely not into cat/mouse game-playing. Not a player and will not be played for anyone's fool.

While not expecting a barbie doll, I would like to be with a woman who feels more girly-girl than tomboy. You know how to take care of yourself mentally, physically, carry yourself well, feel attractive and confident. I like to see a little color to accentuate positive features and appreciate women who know how to use attractants. A little lipstick or nail color is always a turn on; however I'm not moved by most makeup and can't tolerate personal care products that contain artificial fragrance. I seem to be ok with many products that are natural and non-allergenic and most essential oils. I notice when one takes care of their feet; they tend to be more in touch with themselves... lol.. And I don't want my feet to look better than yours. I am height/weight proportionate and my desire is that you be also.

The woman I'm seeking would enjoy a fun, passionate, romantic relationship. I would enjoy the company of a creative, artistic, interested and interesting woman that likes a variety of activities; feels comfortable discussing, learning or teaching and not afraid to experience new adventures, road tripping. I live in the middle of no-where Minnesota, near lakes and rivers. If you are from the Twin Cities, Twin Ports, Stillwater or anywhere there is significant pollution, I may visit you on a good day, but can't spend much time there. If we click, you would enjoy spending more time with me away from those places.

Take a chance; guaranteed not as risky as buying a lottery ticket and so much more satisfying ;-)
