I'm a happy person, generally, and happiness is attractive to me. I have different hobbies. I work in education. I'm not 'looking for' anything in particular. When love hits you, you know it; and I feel it's so rare that you can't really look for it. I like people, generally, so it is easy for me to like... Of my hobbies, I enjoy gardening, and in my garden I have loquat, persimmon, and tangerine growing. I wrote a short poem here to entertain you: And so we reach to the age of the 40s When dating sites are all our last tricks And women are glum and frown in their pics And men are all a'hunting after sex And women are skeptical and frown and vex And here I am, a cheerful sort of lad Just trying to recapture the moment when I was young and had A fun and vivacious partner in crime by my side To explore the world and make fun of it in stride 'What's your job', is the first thing they say As if this were a job interview or something to trade I'm here in innocence, just looking for connection I hope you don't look at all men as just walking erections Some of us want conversation, and to explore the deeper side We're not all shallow robots, despite that in LA we reside We want to feel like we were young once again Well, speaking for myself - I just want a friend Someone to speak to, on those cold winter nights And someone to go out camping with on a hot summer flight Into the country, or wherever might be Don't think I'm a dolt just because I'm on a dating site, you see.
