TODDGRIM

Retired, down to earth guy with simple tastes who's comfortable in his own skin. I'm enthusiastic about new experiences, travel and even a good movie! I just don't want to do it alone! I will admit that while I consider myself a confident, secure man, getting out and dating after 40 some odd years, is scary as hell!

I love history, music and enjoy travel, road trips, dinners out, theater, movies and family gatherings, you name it, but I'm just as happy at home, cooking up a recipe I just found, reading a good book or binging Netflix and eating a pizza with my cat curled up on my lap. I can be funny, flamboyant, charismatic or a wall flower, it just depends on the situation and "audience." Never been much for hitting the clubs for drinks and dancing and, while I'm no teetotaler, I tend to avoid bars. In the past I've played, and studied music, dabbled in theater and participated in several team sports, (though it's been awhile for all three) and do love going to a ballgame!

I do my best to treat everyone with respect and try to accept everyone as is. That said it's probably no surprise that I have zero tolerance those who are disrespectful and game players. Games, dishonesty, rudeness? I won't call you out for it, that's not gentlemanly, but you'll never hear from me again either. My daughter was raised to be an independent woman who can take care of herself and who is accepting and tolerant. The same kind of woman would be someone I'm attracted to.

I'm not a particularly serious person by any means and have no trouble being silly (ask my grand daughter). While I'm a bit of a loner and content to be alone, it wouldn't hurt to have someone in my life who is an "instigator!" For the most part I'm friendly and outgoing but I freely admit that I'm lousy at small talk so don't be surprised if I'm occasionally standoffish. All that said, I enjoy my life and find it quite entertaining but I do miss having someone to share it with!
