- Currently retired, fairly athletic Navy (enlisted) Veteran (U.S.N. '81 - '85, combat campaign ribbon from 1984 on minor disability) - mixed culture (Native American, African, Irish), 6'4", 238# and a devout chocoholic😵 with way less hair (jack of -almost- all trades.... guaranteed a master of none!), born in 1959, an ardent admirer of women and femininity in all of its forms (re.: gyneromantic/femmeromantic; look up gynesexual and gynesexuality if you're curious), a sapiosexual presently exploring more of life's adventures (rl)....

 

- Computer builder, hobbyist and gamer (watcher/player, indoor, outdoor, internet [active on MMOs SWTOR {main}; also the just resurrected {as of April '19!} CoH/V, and others including DDO, SWGemu and STO, with characters active still on GW, L2, EU, GA, SB, CO, DCUO, EnBemu and N], also a Hearts, Mahjong, Sudoku and Tetris addict [Chess or Checkers, Rummy or Poker, Risk or Monopoly, Starfleet Battles or Stratego - you name it, I'm up for it!])....

 

- Will usually respond to a Flickr-mail as I'm here a few times a week [posting rarely but edit this profile on a regular basis {current through 13JUL25}.... go figure!] - seldom check my Yahoo but daily on my Live (main contact/not listed here.... just ask!) and Hotmail (which I only check monthly - if you use it, send a message here on Flickr to make me aware of a waiting contact or I might not see your missive for weeks! 😳)....

 

{edit (circa 2010): The "new" Flickr has me a bit put-off (to say it mildly!) so I find I'm not as active here as I once was.... monitoring the turmoil and perusing other site options....}

 

{re-edit (circa 2018): Well after 8 or so years I'm finally getting used to the "new" Flickr.... or maybe the format is finally growing on me (like mold or a fungus?).... given a few more years I might start to appreciate it - then that's when the powers-that-be will decide to spring a NEW "new" Flickr.... 😮😭😂}

 

{re-re-edit (circa 2022): Which, it seems, Flickr is (hell)bent on doing now - stay tuned!! 🤔😲😕}

 

- Sharp enough (I.Q. over 146 - taken well before the 'free' test [155] and 'pay' one [169.6] listed below) to know that attraction and gender are dictated by our brains (the largest human sex-organ [for example - mine informs me I'm male and tells me I'm attracted to femininity]) and enlightened enough to realize that most of us are fortunate to have our bodies match what our brains tell us about ourselves....

  

- Will befriend anyone, anytime, and hold a special interest for unattached, available, shorter than (and not as heavy as) myself (possibly local?) "brains that are attracted to males and tell themselves that they are" females, whether your body matches that brain 100% - 50% - or not at all (as an aside, have dated someone who felt she wasn't as feminine as she wanted {a permanent ankle limp and I didn't think her less a woman for it}.... it has always been what's inside [that brain thing again] that counts [and she was very sexy to ME!]) ;)

- An insight into my personality and rationale can be found by leafing through a few of my favorite books, listed below -

   

A non-fiction science tome: "One Two Three . . . Infinity: Facts and Speculations of Science" by George Gamow (revised ed. 1961)

 

Three science-fiction paperbacks: James P. Hogan's "Paths to Otherwhere" (1997)

 

"Supermind: Intelligence Quotient Ten Thousand" (A. E. van Vogt, 1977)

 

Robert A. Heinlein's epic "Time Enough for Love" (1973)

 

Take a look at these and you will gather a few clues into at least 85% of who I am....

Your Brain is 20% Female, 80% Male

You Are 33% Feminine, 67% Masculine

You Are 80% Boyish and 20% Girlish

  

 

You have a tough exterior - and usually a tough interior to match it.

Sometimes you can't understand women at all, even if you're a woman yourself.

You see things rationally, and don't like to let your emotions get the best of you.

IQ Test

 

(Beware the "Free" test above.... it IS free [I can't vouch for its accuracy.... I always thought I was smarter!], but to get your results, you will have to use ALL your wits [and I.Q.] to navigate to the end without being "on the hook" to buy anything or, worse, being spammed to death.... 😉

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

And a relatively inexpensive pay test is here - says "169.6" for me, but may still (imho) be off by a point or 50 (maybe I should just run MENSA.... 😊)
