I am looking for my mindmate and companion to grow old together in a serious, close, bonded, exclusive, committed relationship, as a shared and reciprocal safe haven.
My wish is a relationship according to the 'Egalitarian Rational Commitment Paradigm'. A web search will lead you to find my blog, where you can learn more about this concept.

I am German, this explains my not perfect English. My search for a compatible mindmate is world wide, if there is a common language, which can be English, German, Spanish, French, Dutch or Italian. In the times of email, telephone and airtravel, geographical distance is much easier to overcome than mental distance.

I will send a picture in private email, but only after a bit of corresponding, when there is enough interest in my person. I do not want to be either chosen or rejected because of a picture. If my profile without a picture does not interest you, then you are too superficial for me.

You are PHILEMON, if you

~ are a man between about 58 and 68;
~ are a university graduate;
~ are an atheist and apistic, a skeptic, rational and free of any woo-woo-beliefs;
~ are childfree by not having any children of any age;
~ do not have or need pets;
~ are politically between left and green;
~ are bearded and natural by refraining from any body-modification, lacking vanity;
~ do not smoke and drink in moderation,
~ value sharing time and activities with a partner much more than money;
~ feel a stronger need for togetherness and sharing than for personal space and independence;
~ are more an Epicurean than a hedonist;
~ have high ethical standards and values like honesty, sincerity, monogamy, faithfulness, reliability, responsibility, consideration;
~ are sensitive, emotional, caring, hypoanimalistic,
~ are a deep thinker, who enjoys meaningful and constructive communication;
~ prefer cooperation over competition;
~ are attracted to a mate by her aptitude for intellectual intimacy;

With the exception of the beard, I am all of the above myself.

I do NOT expect you to
~ be taller than myself (5'4")
~ be wealthy with a high social status
~ be a strong and muscular stud

I want to love, not to puke. I do NOT want any contact with men, who evoke my nausea, because they are:
~ cheaters;
~ promiscuous;
~ looking for the use of female bodies without long-term commitment;
~ consumers of pornography
