Over50s Forum

OK, here we go...

What are your hobbies and main interests?
I love music, mainly classic rock (60's and 70's, some 80's). But I used to own a CD duplication house, worked with hundreds af bands both well-known and "local" and appreciate music of all types. There's tons of great, under-marketed independent artists out there that you never hear on "the radio".

How would your friends describe you?
Friendly. Helpful. Generous to a fault. Goes above and beyond in everything.

What accomplishmen ts are you are proud of?
Being successful at two businesses... first, building custom aquariums (ever see the TV show "Tanked"?). I did that for 10 years. After that, starting a CD duplication business. That was 15 years and had to sell due to health issues and my wife suddenly passing. Have been pondering getting back into it (CD Duplication).

What turns you off?
Negative people. Arrogance. Impatience. Unwillingness to try.

Are you an outgoing type?
I used to be. Now, just online. When my wife passed (and due to the circumstances that caused her death) it changed me. I rarely leave the house anymore except to go to dialysis or swimming in our development's indoor pool.

Do you believe in love at first sight?
No. I think love is something that developes over time (short or long). I don't care much what a person's physical attributes are. I prefer good, mind-stimulating conversation and a positive attitude and outlook and sense of humor above all else.

What main personality or character traits should your ideal partner have?

See my above comments, LOL

What is your idea of a perfect date?
Perfection is what you make of the situation. Leaving with a feeling of having had experienced a "soul connection" with that person.

Are you a city type or do you like the countryside?
Country, most definitely. Before moving to the "city" here in South Carolina, my wife and I owned a 65 acre farm in Connecticut.. ..where she taught horseback riding to challenged children. I love the woods, the smell of fresh cut grass and the chirping of crickets. I also love thunderstorms and tent camping with a campfire and the smell of the smoke on my clothes in the morning.

Tell us about your lifestyle.
Pretty average, with the exception of not venturing out much anymore.

What would be your dream vacation? Describe your most memorable trip.


Hmm.... Bermuda. Again. Loved snorkeling in the warm blue waters and the "smallness" of the island and the weather.

How important are money and success to you?
Success, a lot. Money not so much.

What do you expect to find here?
Friends and possibly a new relationship, if it happens. I'm not on a hunt, though.

What expectations do you have for the future?
A kidney transplant for starters. To get back into being part of the world again, socially. Break a Guinness world record for something.
