I'm 58 in June 2007; (look the same or older, have since I was 16, played daddies in plays even back in High School, more a matter of appearance than attitude. Is anatomy destiny?) But I've learned the part. e.g. Zoltan Karpathy, the oily Hungarian:

"Oozing charm from every pore, he oiled his way across the floor.

Every trick that he could play, he used to strip her mask away."

-- 'enry 'iggins in "My Fair Lady"

5'10.5", 250# gray-brown balding hair. What's left of it trimmed for travel, though my personal preference would be to "let my freak flag fly."

B2

Beard is kept trim enough that I don't chew on it. It is almost all white by now, except when I dye it original dark brown to match my Russian hat in winter.

w+(+)

I'm of a stocky build, that's DNA, and have always been heavy by societal standards. I try, really, to listen for what my body wants, a eat when hungry. If I could experience the "high" that people claim from exercise, that might make a difference, but so far the only time I feel like that at all is maybe a day later, after several hours of hiking. It is not immediate!

Alas, being heavy is the very kiss of death in the gay "community," but then again I don't fancy other big men, so my bed is made and I have to lie in it!

IQ++

I'm a high-powered intellectual, have a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics, (first 10**-30 sec of the universe was my thesis, got to visit there on Psychedelic Airways). I've twice laudered the degree into something more salable (computational applied math), and more fun (advanced scientific and engineering visualization). Now I'm retired and spend my resources on travel (53 countries and counting).

I have interests that range *way* beyond the technical, and in many respects am a frustrated humanist. It's tough having smart things to say about politics, but lapdogs of the upper class like George Will get all the exposure. Or belligerent nincompoops like Rush O'Reilly who mouth the opinions of Big Money.

e--:

(Penile Endowment). I continually work on self esteem stuff. You might remember a posting of mine a while back entitled "e--, or excu--use me for living." I'm at least 2 standard deviations below the mean for Caucasian men, maybe 5" at the greatest extension. I wish it didn't matter, but sexual lovers have been few and far between, so it's still an uncertainty. Added to the w+(+) experience in the gay "community,", it has been a cross to bear. I don't think it was early childhood, but rough experiences in coming out into the hostile subculture in the 1970s, a late bloomer at 25. I sure didn't fit in among the twinks, whose hubris is big enough to encompass the world. I guess the ultimate in not belonging was a visit to West Hollywood, where the motel was located between a liposuction hut and an electrolysis center. Enemy territory. Grrr!

g+:

Gropability. Oh, g+, yes, like at fairy gatherings, though, chameleon-like the g-factor is influenced by company.

s-:

Slut factor. I consider myself to be monogamously inclined, even if it is situational and negotiated. I have been undone all too many times by game players, and I'm not interested in games. On the other hand, when there is no relationship,a f-buddy will have to do, and I have gone to play parties for release, so I give it only a single minus.

Other physical attributes

Here is a

Lotus Position

Head Hair:

On the wane. Naturally curly gives way to baldness. I usually let it grow till it stops by itself, whence it is sort of fractal. Body hair is ubiquitous.

Hands:

The most lines ever seen by Stuart Timmons, reading my palm at a faery gathering in Gold Creek CA 1985. "So sensitive, almost too much for enduring the world. You should repair ancient musical intruments and fill a Victorian house with treasures." I ended up with a nice Anhalt-style classic home in West Seattle. Fits.

Congenitally unable to catch a ball.

Feet:

12B/AA, no toenails at birth, so says Mom.

I am suffering some symptoms of diabetes, so foot care is a daily ritual.

Vocal Range:

Down to Bass B(! this is new, is it testosterone?) and vocalize to high B-natural on a really good day. Sing Second Tenor in Seattle Pro Musica.
