I am a creative, witty, psuedo-intellectual, sybarite; in essence - an elitist snob (but kind-hearted, lovable and extremely sociable). I indulge in various pursuits of higher culture - jazz and classical music, theater and literature with discerning forays into popular culture (pop music, TV, movies, sports, etc). My main passion is composing and listening to 'real' music (those funny black marks on staff paper). I thrive on stimulating, semi-inebriated conversation about ideas, arts, current events, politics, books, etc. ) I'm very succesful and own nice homes and somewhat glamorous businesses and toothbrushes (the businesses are glamorous, not the toothbrushes) in both Bev Hills/West Hlywd and San Francisco where I divide my time about equally. I love dogs and they love me (women it seems are more discriminating). I am handsome, masculine, immaculate and in fine physical shape (except for my goddamn shoulder, but I'm workin' on it). Although I frequently work out I am an indoorsy non-jock (but a lover of the greatest sport ever devised - baseball, and pretty much anything involving the ocean). Oh yes, I'm a devout Jewish athiest (true believers need not apply). I am seeking a quick witted, feminine, sexy companion with whom to experience the art of living - romance, wining & dining, entertainment, shopping, events and travel. I'm interested in a single, recurring affair but keeping an open mind for the real deal (miracles happen, even to jaded athiests, I think). I prize my quality time alone and I am decidedly not a player (way too lazy). Disqualifications: non-drinkers, irony deficiencies, sideways smiley faces after (written) sentences. (Feel free make sideways smiley faces after spoken sentences. ) Bonus points: consciousness, artsy-fartsy types, minimal make-up, ironic and irreverent humor and aficianados of endearing deadpan sarcasm (or you won't get me at all). BTW, I'm not nearly as smug and sinister as I appear in the photo.
