Seven Days Personals - Introducing: Vermonters

... is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Still, I keep trying!
This online dating stuff reminds me of a fellow I knew who fell off the top of a five story building. As he passed each floor, the folks inside heard him say “so far, so good.”
Welllll, yeah no ... not really ... not yet. In the meantime, a few changes. Audience participation - Points if you can spot them. (If you can, then you've been reading my profile too much, but obviously responding too little!)

WHAT I WILL STILL HOPE FOR, ON HERE AND BEYOND: I just want someone whose hand I want to hold ... passionately. That's it. I simply want someone with a warm and kind heart whose hand I want to hold. Everything else will flow from there.
ME:
• Down to earth, heart of a child of the 60s & 70s, Desiderata moves me
• Young at heart
• Much prefer jeans over suits (but can rock one)
• Love creating and building
• Gregarious, socially adept, draw energy from being in public; but less is more, and I need my time
• Fun-loving, affectionate, passionate
• Left of center, though politically independent. Neither party serves us well, nor do extremes.
• Believe in giving back
I have a sense of humor ranging from George Carlin ("God is an imaginary friend for adults") ... to Rodney Dangerfield ("My sex life's so bad my waterbed's called the Dead Sea") ... to Bob Hope ("A good wife will forgive her husband when she's wrong.") Okay, that last one was actually Phil Silvers. If we meet and you don't get my sense of humor, it'll be the longest date of your life!
[SIDEBAR #1: Why are "crap," "poo," "dung," and "kaka" acceptable, but "s**t" isn't? "Moral fiber leads to ethical s**t" just somehow makes the point far better than "Moral fiber leads to ethical poo.” Ya know, if the world was a logical place, it would be men who ride side saddle.]
[SIDEBAR #2: Fun factoid, notwithstanding Vermont's reputation for liberalism, it was one of only 2 states that didn't vote for FDR in any of his 4 elections. Can you name the other ... without Googling?]

I SEEK A WOMAN WHO SPORTS THESE QUALITIES:
• Independent, well-grounded, self-aware
• Good-hearted, honest, emotionally mature
• Master of her ego and emotions, instead of the other way around
• Open and good communicator
• Natural beauty, natural inclinations
• Socially liberal, value intellectual stimulation
• Fun-loving, affectionate, passionate
• European attitude or Bohemian nature a plus
• And, a great sense of humor!
Some things that might suggest that we’re not the best match (though never say never) ...
• If you have photos of yourself holding up a fish, a gun, a recipe for possum stew.
• If you have only face shots. Fine, so I know what you look like. And, physical attraction is part of a relationship. But, photos that reflect your personality and what you like to do are better ... except, of course, for the photos mentioned above! Many of us don't want to date a face, we want to date a person. (Yes, I’m a guy, I actually wrote that, and I’m secure in my manhood. And, yes, I actually do read profiles.)
• And, while we’re on the subject of photos, if none of your photos show your eyes, your soul.
• If you wear jeans as a fashion statement instead of as a lifestyle. (Extra points for a lifestyle of worn jeans with holes!)
• If you have more art on your body than on your living room walls. (Saturday Night Live’s “Turlington's Lower Back Tattoo Remover” is hilarious!) That said, yup, some tats can be cool.
• If you live off the grid in a yurt ... yet you're somehow still reading this online ... eat only sustainable home-grown organic tofu fertilized by your own "poo" to help reduce carbon footprint, and chant ritual Tibetan raps naked in the woods while a centaur plays a pan flute. (Well, the naked in the woods part's okay.)
And, before I catch a raft of poo, none of which things are a judgment, merely a reference to potential compatibility.

But, a serious parameter: No Trump supporters. If you are, check for polyps while you’re up there.
