Eardan, 61

I am a rabid liberal who enjoys reading good books and intelligent conversation. My free time is spent doing volunteer work and helping my friends out. I am not the diplomat, preferring to address people with honesty, forth-rightness, and the truth — no matter how painful. My tastes run more casual, being less concerned about what others think I should be wearing. I am a young-looking 45, appearing to be in my thirties and somewhat slender. I am looking for someone who is genuine and honest about what they want out of a relationship. I am in it for the long haul and hope they are too.
