And now I think of my life as vintage wine, from fine, old kegs...

A placid, serene lake... a glorious orange sunset... a night with a glass of fine wine and finer company...

How often are the little things in our lives so quickly overlooked, so effortlessly forgotten?

It would seem that time is indeed catching up to me lately... while I have had a wonderful life most would probably dream of, I cannot help but empathize with old Gatsby in his splendor; money cannot buy love.

Hello, and warm greetings. I am a successful, professional, almost-50-year-old man (not that I'm counting!) Single, never married - though let's not assume this means I have a hunchback (I do not) or some crippling physical/emotional illness (I do not), let's just chalk it up to an unlucky fate in the realm of love.

I find myself, very content with life and relatively happy in my daily goings-on, now more than ever becoming paralyzed with fear and regret as I approach my "golden years". Without offering petty details or coming off as insensitive, suffice it to say I have earned a small fortune for myself in business and it is work I genuinely enjoy doing. I have all-too-often distracted myself from lonely nights with stocks, dining room sets, cars, entertainment, you name it. As has been said by many wiser than me, it is a bottomless void that money and acquisitions simply cannot fill.

But as the big five-zero lurks around the bend, I have found myself more withdrawn, more pensive, adopting deeper, broader point of view of the world around me. While I've had no shortage of shallow romance from time to time, it seems unbecoming for a man to live his life without the balance, the warmth, the touch and the companionship of a woman. Now, let's not get ahead of ourselves; I'm not here to make one thread and expect a wife! However, I cannot help but open myself to where my heart yearns, and alas, here we both are...

I find myself to be very open and honest, blunt and forward often to a fault, an incurably hopeless romantic, a loyal friend and partner, a giving lover, and stubborn as a mule! However, I'm not on your average dating site for good reason; sexuality is a vital part of a healthy relationship to me and my gal had better damn well be a sexual one ;-) I tend towards the take-charge side, though there are nights I return from a grueling day of work and can think of nothing else but being taken care of in every way imaginable. It has, admittedly... been a while since I've had a lover and I fear my age is becoming a repellant to younger women and uninteresting to older women at the same time!

Alas, I'm rambling. To be perfectly frank I'm not sure what will come of this. Perhaps I will have a few nice chats, make some new friends, dodge the pain of a few lonely nights; or perhaps forge some deeper, intimate connections with amazing people I never would have met had I not typed this awful embarrassing novel! In any case, I extend my hand in invitation and would love to hear from you. I ask only that you are physically and emotionally healthy and comfortable with yourself and your sexuality. Age is a rather meaningless number to me, and I find myself still attracted to beauty across the gamut. I promise I'm an extremely friendly and open man once you get to know me, and I look forward to making that journey together. Thank you for your patience in suffering through this lengthy post!

There are more out here on Lit

I am well aware as to the quality of some of the men that are on Lit. Many are here for a quick fling, quick one-liners etc. Other like a vintage wine are a rare gem. I am a 36 yo educated male who would love to have the pleasure of chatting with someone on a variety of topics both serious and fun. I hope that I would hear from you too.

Oh, it's more than ok! What are we as a community here if we cannot share a few pixels of black and white to express similar interests?

Very few things on the internet are worth any negative emotions or drama in my opinion. The more the merrier!
