Kilgoretrout, 71

Carbon-based dating, with Effleurage The book on me: uninhibited, outspoken, articulate, generous, insecure, demonstrative, unconventional. Spirited but not spiritual.

I'm a sucker for a guy in faded buttonflys with nothing underneath, a guy with a little aftershave on his jaw/sideburn, a quiet unaffected guy with no temper and flat stomach.

Our interests should be somewhat different. I like learning things, and teaching things. I seek a counterpart, not an echo.

I’d rather give than receive. In all things other than chocolate. Take care of me emotionally so I can take care of you physically. I have a LOT of energy. I am kite; you can hold the string. Sometimes it's windy, sometimes not.

If you don't like PDAs, pass me by.

Because words are my hemoglobin, I know many. Some of my favorites: bivouac, vituperation, lassitude, prolix, desuetude, dispirited, invective, trebuchet, salient, verisimilitude, codswallop, intrepid, folderol, prim, artifact, ancillary, longitudinal, intransigent, empirical, solipsism.

But I also use little words: the, a, whoa, cool, nice, damn! duh! and YES!!!!!

YES to: face hair, muscles, waterfalls, trees, rain, The Onion, sarcasm, libraries, dust/dirt, trees (I can mention those again), physical confluence/contact, irreverence, waterbed, rain (again), night skies, cool temperatures, science, irreverence, Goodwill, revelry, videos at home with entwined twosome under warm blankets.

NO to: conformity, underwear, not touching, fine dining/good wine, petroleum junkies, prudes, brooders, exotic pets, tempers, litter, getting up early, bright sun, racial designations, materialism, marijuana, jingoism, hair dye, farcebook, inebriation (zzzz), excess packaging (on people and products).

219,000 humans will be added to the world today. If that isn't enough to make you swallow lead, I wonder what is.

These profiles sound so self-absorbed, but I'd really rather talk about YOU. I'm a great advocate and resource, and I want to make your life better
