I probably work too much for a great social life but things will change now that I am single

Date a man from Toronto, Canada. I'm clever and verbal enough to write a profile that would likely generate the occasional date or three. I'm also wise enough to know what it is you'll want to find about me during those initial get togethers and decide whether it should continue. The pictures I posted tell a story of my life so far and a bit about the kind of a man I’ve become. The words that follow will add to all that.
There are two axiomatic notions at play should anyone consider trying to understand me. The first is that I am quite bright with a creative side. In fictional terms my personality gallops along a continuum from Sheldon Cooper to Red Green and an occasional dalliance with the Trailer Park Boys (who doesn't love Bubbles). In three dimensional terms I can go from digging up my basement and replacing the clay tile drain line to learning to play a Bach Fugue on a piano I am currently rebuilding. It just doesn't end.
People who know me will ask if expect anyone to keep up or share the same wide variety of interests. My answer is no, I don't. Actually someone who is near normal might be a good counterpoint. But that said, my hope is the person won’t be jealous of the immense joy I experience through these pursuits. That could be asking a lot.
The second notion is my growing up years. I have to laugh when I think about the many times in the process of getting to know people, especially with women, who will ask about family (yes – that is a standard test question apparently). I usually try to answer in vague terms, but whatever I say always prompts more questions. So I'll give you an initial sense of it now.
I grew up in a relatively affluent environment which included a busy small store in a small town. To some I had a very charmed life. For the better and the worse both my parents had died by the time I was 14. Essentially I was left on my own. I quit school after completing Grade 9 and ended up running the store for a few years until it closed. After that I got a factory job. The rest you can figure out from the photos and the following sections. There’s much more, but I’ll stop. Whereas it used to be about keeping secrets, nowadays it’s more about contextual appropriateness and confidence in the person opposite.
Suffice to say there are a lot of layers to me. For the small percentage of women who pickup on those subtleties (and I can tell), I remain an elusive enigma. It will take a brave person to want to know about it and accept it. So I edit. That’s why I’m in no hurry when it comes to all things dating. If I seem reticent at times, it doesn’t come from a point of indifference, but one of care.
”Love comforteth like sunshine after rain.” Shakespeare
I was married for 24 years to the first person I ever dated. It was easy, like rolling off a log. Just show up and fall in glorious love. The second time it’s a little more circumspect. The actors are all grown up now and have become fully formed individuals. Not suprisingly, I find that women’s profiles often reflect this, as a picture is painted of their life with the implicit hope the man will get her vision and make the effort to fit in. And in so doing not upset the proverbial domestic applecart.
I am looking for someone who is independent in life, thinking and has liberal, progressive, inclusive social values. Someone secure enough in herself to respect me for the individual I am. One who prefers in her partner the quality of loyalty over obedience; as you understand the two have entirely different outcomes.
It would be nice to begin on a friendship basis. To use a sports analogy, I’m not hoping to hit a home run. Nor am I looking to move into your place, or you to mine.
A non-linear approach, without assumed timelines or benchmarks. If there's interest on your end, send an email. I will usually respond to let you know if it is likewise.
Peace.

Meet a soulmate from Toronto, Canada. Hi ladies, heres me, easy going, hard working, down to earth, and good sense of humor,
enjoy traveling, casual dining, and driving too fast.
I live and work downtown, senior high tech position in the financial district, for sure too much of a workaholic, but I will make lots of time for that special lady if its you.
Been in Toronto since early 2000’s, before that lived in, Waterloo, Victoria BC, Montreal, Niagara
Looking into buying a piece of land outside the city and building a nice house, I used to be a full time construction worker back in my younger days before my corporate life, and I still enjoy working with my hands.
I try to keep fit, work out about 4 times a week, lifting weights and running stairs.
Looking for a nice woman who wants to be my wife, or at least wants to play wife.
And I make great bacon and eggs on weekend mornings

Date single man from Toronto, Canada. “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate…”
Or should I just cut to the chase, without the Shakespeare, and tell you a few things about myself?
If I were writing my character in a novel, I would make him charming, witty, and a good conversationalist. He’d always be interested in the leading lady character, attentive and genuinely glad to be in her company.
He’d be a strong kind of guy, but without any of the swagger. A guy who gets the job done because of pride in work and love for what he does. He keeps fit and trim, sharp, honed. Our leading man, however, isn’t without his softer side, oh dear, no. He’s affectionate (loves that hugging and stuff), loving, romantic to the hilt, passionate, honest and trustworthy, a joker.
Things dear to the character in these pages (in no particular order of importance, necessarily):
• Music: Can’t say enough. In a past life, our hero was once a bit-player of saxes, flutes, guitars, and banging-things such as congas, tambourines, walls…
• Food. Everybody’s food. His included. Yes, believe it or not, in my story he would be pretty damn handy and imaginative in the kitchen, belting out various articles of delicious cuisine. Or so he thinks, at any rate.
• You. _____ . ?. Hey, wait a minute, how did this get in here?
• Art, which includes music, of course. It’s the only place he truly entrusts his soul, where he can park it for a spell and give it a rest.
• Travelling, exploring, tasting the slices of life in all their local glory, wherever those locales should happen to be.
• Nature: Lakes and forests, mountains and plateaux, oceans and seas, horizons and blue skies. But alas, he prefers the electricity of the city. He just can’t help being a city boy. It’s in his blood.
• Oh yes, and a little thing we call love. A quaint little notion – pounding heart notwithstanding – that warms the winter’s nights, and heats up the summer’s.
“…So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
so long lives this, and this gives life to thee.”

Meet people from Toronto, Canada. Someone who has similar values; is fun to be with; cares for others. Is wanting to help others and at the same time enjoy life. Is very family oriented. Is comfortable with contrasts like just watching TV and reading a book or travelling the globe

Date men and women from Ontario, Canada. I am looking for a friend and then let time and our common sense to take us where life leads. I beleive that old saying " smile at the world and the world will smile with you"
Just smile at someone every day and let them smile back.
you will learn far more about me by talking and listening
Part II
I'm am warm hearted, mature person who like to smile and laugh at the world. I am easy going, quick witted gentle gentleman. I like to exercise, swim and play TaiChi to keep fit.
I am loving, friendly and a flirt. I try to be a good communicator and listener. I am patient generous and tolerant to others.
I am looking for a friend to travel with and let time take us on a journey through life.

Meet someone special from Ontario, Canada. Originality. Courage. Intelligence.
These are very sexy qualities
I don't lead a traditional life:
I'm independent and love a challenge.
If you're on same page and think like I do,
perhaps this will lead to physical congress.
I'm a youthful, fit, mature man with ideas and many things to do. You are the same, except for the man part.

Date a man from Ontario, Canada. Who am I? There are many things that are easy to say and hard to prove (until you come poke and prod!). There is certainly the intellectual side to me. Lots of years of learning and now teaching. But, I'm a very practical type for an academic, I dont live in an ivory tower of silly theories like some academics do. Im not interested in ideas if they create no obvious impact in the world.
And, there is the artsy side too. I am a musician, a jazz pianist. I love browsing galleries and I know what I like, yes, I do have opinions!
I am confident, but I hope it is correct to say without a large ego. I know what I am good at, and I have succeeded in the 4 important things I have done in my life. I am tough when I have to be in a business environment, but almost never in personal relationships. Again, it's hard to prove, but I believe that I am thoughtful and caring, I treat everyone from the dean to the janitor with respect and kindness, it is amazing to me how many people don't understand how much it pays in thoughtfulness returned.
I stay fit and enjoy a good sweat. I was also a track and field coach for several years too, and in many ways my nature is more of a coach than a teacher/professor. I love the job I have at the University, and Im good at it. Helping students is what I love. I wouldnt be in my profession if I didnt get great joy and satisfaction from helping others.
Whom am I looking for? Someone who lives a healthy lifestyle, knows how to have fun AND be serious, and is INTERESTING. "Interesting", of course, is a very loaded word.
Both shared values and day-to-day compatible activities are keys for happiness. Values: First, generous and giving. Keeping track of the score, who's done how much, just doesn't work for me. Then add loyal and undistracted (not that common). Next, a wise decision maker who understands we can't have it all, a good life is about choices that keep the best and crowd out the worst activities. Activities: someone fit and athletic, which I have been all my life. Life's no fun w/o shared physical activities (gym? hiking? golf? tennis? or?). Someone who loves to cook (and eat great healthy food!) and can slow down at night with books, movies, and great music
That's enough for now, if you think you fit (smart, interesting, and confident), write me. I may be a little picky, but of course, you should be too!

Meet a soulmate from Ontario, Canada. Immediately upon doing a self assessment, I wanted to look at it from a different angle, what can I give as opposed to what can I take? So, I would look for an independant woman who is mid forties to mid fifties and has had the history of past relationships, drama of offspring (good and bad!) exes gone...not forgotten but forgiven...and ready to enjoy the next many chapters of life. I am passionate about life, work, activity and travel (which is what I do...I customise). I have a lovely home, great cottage, great business and an inherited Husky (daughter dropped him off when I wasn't paying attention and buggered off to be a guide in AB). So, not looking for a date or just the giggles, but still the fun in relationship (oh , love to cook..) so if you want to explore beyond your own front door, that would be good. I am English by birth and accent so that could be a 50/50 right?

Date single man from Ontario, Canada. I am a stable, fun loving, fit , affectionate and entertaining guy with a razor sharp wit and sense of humour. I love to cook , entertain in my home and enjoy fine dining.I am well traveled, well read and enjoy great conversation. I love being around water, the beach and chillin' wtih a good book and something cold. My children and large family are an integral part of my life as are my close friends. I am a very sociable man and love meeting new people and experiencing new adventures. I am an accomplished drummer and used to play professionally, still do part-time but make my living in the public relations sector. I live in the St. Lawrence Market hood in downtown Toronto.
A well heeled, pretty, fit and intelligent woman who has a SOH and is confident works for me. Playing safe is for the weak of heart, live on the edge I say but within reason of course Some people's idea of living on the edge is eating yogurt after the due date.... addressing the unknown garners the pinnacle of surprise and reward. I don't suffer fools easily and welcome cranial explorers who know a good thing when they see it or at least akin to delve further. Never a dull moment here and the optimum in passion and adventure.
I have no baggage, not even a carry on and and the most easy going and adaptable gent you'll meet.
Please no smokers or Biker girls and all the best to everyone.
No picture, no reply!

Meet people from Ontario, Canada. First, I'll confess to having a difficult time writing these things.
It's not that I don't know who I am, or what I want...
I'm just not used to packaging everything up into these little word-boxes.
My thoughts, desires, experiences. They just don't fit into this small a space.
So, rather than trying to cram everything in, I'm going to spread it out..
And keep it simple.
I'm a thinking man who's not afraid of feelings.
They're there for a good reason.
I believe that truth is the only thing worth telling.
Well... that, and a good joke.
I experience things with my heart and mind, and make decisions with my gut.
When the spirit moves me... it moves me.
I'm a self-taught artist, builder, photographer and actor (my living for the past 25 years).
I believe in taking responsibility for my words and actions, and expect those I bring close to me to do the same.
Small words like 'Sorry' and 'It's okay', spoken softly, can move mountains.
I'm looking for a thoughtful, gentle (yet dynamic) woman who shares similar beliefs and qualities.
And on those rare occassions when they're difficult to muster... a sense of humour is pure gold.
I've travelled through most of Canada, as well as Mexico, the Bahamas, Jamaica, the U.S., Ireland, England, Switzerland, Spain, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Philippines.
And, if circumstances permit, I'd like to do quite a bit more.
I speak a little Spanish and French.
Other important things:
My two boys (top of the list, by far);
My canoe;
Our little cabin on the hill.
The arts.
I've also got an excellent dog, and an old backhoe.
Both of which are good at digging holes.
If you're an intelligent, attractive woman who's looking for these qualities in a healthy man... please say hello.
