Seven Days Personals - Introducing: Vermonters

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.” But, I’m givin’ it another try ... after all, the definition of insanity is doin' the same thing over and over and expecting different results!
=====
WHAT I STILL HOPE FOR, ON HERE AND BEYOND: Someone whose hand I want to hold ... passionately. Everything else will flow from there.
ME:
• Down to earth, heart of a child of the 60s & 70s
• Young at heart; I don’t look, feel, or act my age
• Great sense of humor!
• “Desiderata" moves me
• 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
• Believe in giving back
• Left of center, though politically independent; neither party serves us well, nor do either extreme
• And, I believe that at the root of all our problems are over-population, religion, and social media
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
• Open and good communicator
• Master of her ego and emotions, instead of the other way around
• Natural beauty, natural inclinations, barefoot
• Socially liberal, values 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 think that posting the same photo twice constitutes having multiple photos in your profile. Or, if you have photos of yourself holding up a fish, a gun, a recipe for possum stew, or a husband you just offed. Or, if none of your photos show your eyes, the windows to your soul.
• If you have only face shots. We know what you look like, and physical attraction is part of a relationship. But, photos that show your personality and what you like to do are better. Many of us want to date a person, not a face. (And yes, I actually do read profiles.)
• 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 use "writ Large," the kale of word salad.
• 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.)
• 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.
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.
