Subject: Affectionate M genius wants F companion I'm male, 57, look younger, looking for female over 40 who is both intelligent and affectionate, for companionship that may lead to friendship and/or romance. I'd like to find somebody nice to share one or more of these activities: - Listen to music together (my collection and yours both) - Watch videos together, from both my collection (some episodes of my favorite programs, such as Blake's Seven, Deep Space Nine, Babylon Five, and some of my favorite movies) and your collection. - Play my favorite board game (I'll teach you how if you don't know how) and/or watch live games on the net together - Show you some computer programs I wrote. - Show you some sliding-block puzzles (on computer) I designed. - Watch pretty sunsets and cloud patterns together. - Share food, eating it together, trying each other's favorite foods. - Watch Blind Date or ShipMates together and comment on the daters. - Show you photos of how I looked when I was younger, and see any photos you have of yourself too. - Pick wild blackberries together (when they are in season). - Watch the Perseid meteor shower (in August) together. - Share holidays (Valentine's day, birthdays, new years eve, Jul.04). - Discuss some of my inventions, and ideas for the future. - Listen to and discuss any ideas that you may have. I'm 6' tall and prefer tall women (5'7" or taller), but your height is not a major issue with me. I don't drink alcohol and don't want to be around anyone who gets drunk a lot, although it's OK if you drink just some. I don't smoke tobacco and the smell of tobacco smoke makes me terribly sick, so I don't want to be around anyone who smokes.
