50s, fit, friendly, and fun. I'm in Arlington in a nice area and would enjoy some companionship. I'm married, but I live alone. So I can host. I'm classy, mature, in pretty good shape for my age, and am often told that I'm handsome. Oh, and I take horrible pics, so usually people are pleasantly surprised when they meet me.

My Ideal Person I'm seeking companionship with an intelligent and interesting woman who needs more in her life. Once is nice but ongoing is much better as it builds rapport and connection.

As for a type, I don't really have one. However, there are attributes I seek:

Confidence is key and a smile makes for a good keyring. If you don't like yourself enough to be confident, having me in your life isn't going to help either of us.

Maturity is not a number. Your age is almost irrelevant to me, as long as you're old enough that we have something in common. And I don't really have an upper limit as long as you are uninhibited and fun.

Uninhibited. I'm too old to find coy cute. I like a curious, inquisitive mind. That goes for in the kitchen and the bedroom, as well as a lot of other places.

Fun. You should seek joy in life rather than search for misery. Yes, I can be cynical--one cant' reach my age without some amount of that. But you should also seek joy and fun in what you see and do.

As for race, size, etc. Irrelevant.

So after being back on here a few days, I remember why I let my membership lapse in the first place. Here are some groundrules:

1. I am discreet and will respect your discretion. That doesn't mean we can't go out; in fact I like dates. And I like public play. But it means that we have to be a little cautious at least.

2. If you ask me for my phone number, that's an automatic NO. I've been stalked before and it is my policy to not exchange numbers until we have met in person.

3. If you immediately want to move conversations to another medium, that's a huge red flag that you are a bot or a scam. While it is true that the messaging apps on this site are cumbersome, they also offer a level of anonymity while we are just starting to get to know each other. That's important to me. It should be important to you too. If it isn't, you're probably not wise enough to be a good match.

4. A public meeting is a good policy for a first meet. There are exceptions but they are uncommon.

So what are you waiting for? Take a chance.
