Santa Fe, New Mexico | Man Seeking A Man

Basic Information

I Can Speak
English, French
I Would Describe Myself As
About me:



I am 79, but don't look, feel, think, or act 79. I have lived an exceptionally exciting life and am looking to connect with other gay men who are enjoying their lives but looking for something or someone more. Connection with others is the key to life. So while I hope to find the man who eventually becomes the one I simply cannot live without, I am seeking to make new friends. Getting together and sharing ideas, conversation and energy is win-win..... as is being close and giving and receiving affection.



I'm a kind, open-hearted kind of guy who loves life and is grateful for all that life brings. Challenges need to be met with an open mind and a healing sense of humor. My bright and optimistic energy frequently finds its outlet in song: been singing all my life in choirs, choruses and amateur opera.



I’m grateful for all that life brings. And when it presents challenges, humor sees me through. So, while I’m hoping to find the man who eventually becomes the one I simply cannot live without, I am open to friendship and casual relationships. I enjoy helping others and sometimes work part-time in the healthcare field. Younger guys and other races are so fine.



My first career - after graduating from the USAF Academy - was in the Air Force as a pilot and an exceptionally wide variety of other jobs - all in the closet, of course. During my 20 years in the Air Force, I lived in Europe, Asia, Africa and all over the states, and picked up 3 Master's degrees along the way. After I retired, I went back to school and picked up a doctorate in psychology. I have spent the years since in the field of healthcare, but am ready for a change.



My two LTR's were 10-15 years younger than me, and that seemed to work out really well, so I'm very much open to dating or connecting with younger guys. My first partner, Jim, who moved from California to be with me in Dayton, died after we were together for only six years. I think we'd still be together if he had lived. I got an invitation four years later to join a private practice in Vancouver BC, and moved there with much relief in 1995. Living where Jim and I had lived had just become too painful. My second partner, James, who was very involved in the artist community in Vancouver, decided to remain there when I moved to Santa Fe seven years ago.



My life has taken me many places - I have lived all over the States and in Canada, Asia, Europe and Africa. Santa Fe is my home at the moment, but I'm open to relocating for the right guy. I enjoy the area's weather, its opportunities for day trips and outdoor fitness, especially hiking. Working out three or four times a week keeps me somewhat fit, although there's always room for improvement..



About the guy I'm looking for:



I don’t have a detailed list describing the guy I'd like to meet. How educated you are isn’t particularly important---enjoying life certainly is. I’d like to spend time with a fun-loving man who shares some of my interests – someone who’s sensual and sensitive, and loves to give and receive physical affection. If you feel the same, drop me a line - let’s get together and see what happens. Take care…..John
