Classic gentleman who dresses up regularly even though I don’t have to, knowledgeable in a wide range of topics (3 degrees – Bachelor of Arts (double major) Religion and History, Bachelor of Science - Psychology and Masters of Social Work, Almost Masters of Education in Counseling Psychology – 6 hours short). I have taught undergraduate and graduate level social work at two universities and enjoy reading and writing. If I could I would quit my job and become a full time writer today (but ahhh when I retire – 5 years and counting). I’ve had a video blog on traditional wet shaving on YouTube for several years…it was my hobby but because of life struggles I haven’t posted in over a year. I’m the Mad Scientist of Wet Shaving. Also have a blog on emotional trauma and wet shaving on squarespace called vintagerazorcollection. I was once a newspaper journalist and photographer. I’m essentially an old soul who is out of place in the modern world. I’m usually quiet, a deep thinker (who over analyzes), but level headed and insightful. I quietly watch and listen but when I do talk people listen or I insert in the conversation a cutting dry humor one line comment that puts everyone on the floor laughing. At first many people view me as stand-offish, mysterious, and unapproachable...but give me a few minutes and usually people warm up to me quickly once they know the real me. Past life traumas have cause me to be somewhat guarded, but I have learned from them (twin brother died at birth, father died when I was 8 yrs. old, widowed twice (been widowed for past 5 years). Our adopted son - now 19, out of the home and estranged from me due to his meth and heroin abuse and stealing - nearly destroyed me emotionally and financially after my second wife died. Frankly the past few years has been a living hell. Struggling to try and sell my 3600 ft house because I can’t afford it anymore and I don’t need all that space living alone. I’m currently writing a book about trauma...I refer to it as having “Trauma Bombs” - those often common large and small life events that everyone has but their explosion and damage often leaves toxic emotional fallout radiation for months and years later. I’m here seeking a classy beautiful woman (inside and out) who likes to look good in public, dress well, is intelligent, outgoing, vivacious, romantic, affectionate and sexy. A life partner. I know many women have been traumatized by men in their past - emotionally and physically...they too have become wary and guarded in relationships. That doesn’t scare me away...I am patient and can wait for the inner passions of a woman to emerge once trust has been restored. You must be willing to touch and be touched, talk and listen. It is crucial for bonding and true intimacy and love to grow. I will know you are true, not fake and sincere if you reference something I have written here when messaging or texting me.
