We've been matched. While comparing our profiles shows why, my first burning question is: Can you dance? Can you accept an invitation to a pleasant evening of social dancing?

There are few things more fun and romantic than two dancers moving to music. Including film, theater, art, and literature, dance plays a role in nearly every romance genre. Dance has been a preferred social grace within polite society for over two hundred years. To be a genuine romantic, there is just no getting around it – you must dance. Your profile infers you may appreciate this. Partner dancing is about cooperation, rather than competition. Remember, “It takes TWO to Tango”. As you’ve seen, my profile describes (among other things) an enthusiastic amateur dancer. I am not an instructor or professional. Partner dance runs the gambit from the Freestyle and Jitterbug/Swing you did in your high school gym, the Foxtrot you tried to do at your Senior Prom, the sensuous Mambo featured in the contemporary films “Dirty Dancing” and “Dance with Me”, the Disco/Hustle popularized by John Travolta in the film “Saturday Night Fever” and even the breathtaking beautiful formal Viennese Waltz depicted in the classic film “Dr Zhivago”.

Furthermore, there are few things that spice up a travel experience better than being able to dance well in festive settings, be it a formal ball, cruise ship, private party, or intimate club. But once the function is staring you in the face it is too late because acquiring dance skills takes, not only physical fitness, clear lungs and a mind and body that work, but also a certain amount of TIME.

Happily, basic dance steps can be easily learned by anyone and used to great advantage at a host of fun and festive venues and carriage trade events. My airline piloting career has provided countless of these opportunities in centers of culture around the world. If you are not a dancer now but enjoy the thrill of new things, then diving into a dance hobby may be for you. (Rumba is the dance of love, you know.) The open question is whether you have the mind, body and sticktoittivity for choreography?

My Gulf Coast home has a lively dance community that is great fun to get plugged into with plenty of smoke-free and alcohol-free venues as well as the rest of the country and even worldwide. Over the last few months, while traveling, I’ve attended wonderful dance parties in New Orleans, Montgomery, Colorado Springs, New York, Halifax, Los Angeles, and London. They can take a bit of sleuthing to find (which is part of the fun). For pure recreation, the ones I prefer for their consistent high quality and well behaved crowds are those sponsored by local chapters of the national dance organization – USADance.

One thing is for sure: couch potatoes don't dance. Hypnotized by pointless gladiatorial combats, they ruminate in sedentary vicarious gratification. In contrast, dancers are dynamic quality people with smiles on their faces interested in meeting other quality people and having a good time.

For all of its charm, getting a dance education can be frustrating. From my profile you see that I am an enthusiastic, optimally fit, well-trained amateur. My tested physiological age (four months ago) was 41 years with an optimized BMI of 21. So if you are in average physical condition, you’ll likely have to train a bit to reach me. A sore muscle here and there is a small price to pay for endless dance fun.

If, like me, you are 24 carat real, if you would appreciate an attentive escort to a pleasant evening in polite society and are a trained dancer in the American Style I can arrange to take you dancing sometime when I am in town. If you are not, I can suggest how to get started in what may turn out to be one of your favorite social activities.

Just drop me a note and together we’ll craft an appropriate dance adventure which is an ideal way to begin exploring our many other listed profile activities.

Sincerely,

Stephen

WOW. You'd think being such a prick would be detrimental to his balloon-esque ego.   [bang]

It does beg the question as to what your friend had in common with twinkletoes that they gen'd a match

I feel sorry for Ballz....

I seriously should run a dating course for men.

Whoa whoa whoa. Just because ONE smart, pretty girl took pity on you doesn't make you a expert. You just stick to making sure that her contacts aren't strong enough and that she can't escape your backwoods compound. We all know what the moat is really for.

That's the third part of the course-how to find attractive sweet women who are willing to consider the left side of the bell curve, or as I like to call it, "Cupid's bargain bin".

Some of my most memorable (scarring) experiences involved shopping in Cupid's Damaged/Defective Goods Bin

.....and can we get a picture here of this Lord of the Dance?

Worked for me!!   [thumbsup]

Approachable, intelligent, urbane,, affectionate, athletic, flexible, adventurous, responsible, monogamous non-smoker with a WORLDWIDE lifestyle seeks LTR. Open to long distance contacts. PLEASE BE AWARE: My profile is candid.

I am a retired airline pilot from an American flag supplemental airline (see pictures). In pursuing my dream of an aviation career, I never groveled in a ho-hum nine-to-five job merely to earn a living. Instead, starting with the Piper Cub, I have risen to flying commercial jet aircraft over the major trade routes of the world.

I've visited most national capitals. I've lived in Europe, South America, the Orient and on an island in the Caribbean Sea. The only continent I have not visited is Antarctica. I have a WORLDWIDE lifestyle with interests to match. Epic trekking by air has been my stock-in-trade. Through my work I am accustomed to moving easily within all cultures and levels of society. I have a practical, hands-on, no-nonsense, approach to life. It's part of my job description.

In the larger sense though, the high standards and demands of my work do not entirely define me. Now my time is my own. Though my formal education is in engineering, I have liberal and cosmopolitan values gained from both real-life experience and private scholarship and a compelling interest in all the Sciences, Arts and Letters. From astrophysics to daffodils, my curiosity about and empathy for the world extends to just about everything. I brake for wildlife. My present major professional interest is a developmental aviation company.

My personal interests start with maintaining optimal health and include mixing in polite society through social dancing. I am an occasional dancesport athlete (see pictures and dance credentials below). I have a basic formal culinary training and enjoy cooking and baking a world-travel-inspired healthy vegan cuisine.

I own, operate and sometimes live aboard a custom-built ocean sailing boat (see pictures). I cruise approximately three thousand miles per year, mostly in remote areas where the SCUBA diving is pristine. I fly a variety of aircraft (see pictures).

I am a member of MENSA and the Memphis Mountaineers. I participate in climbs several times per year. I am a recreational skier. I participate casually in most popular individual sports.

Ballroom Dance Credentials:

American Style NDCA Full Bronze Medal (eight dances) I am trained to a social level in the remaining six dances
International Style ISTD Bronze Certificates (three dances)
I am familiar with most novelty dances common in the USA and Europe.

I hope reading my profile ignites sparks of excitement, adventure and challenge in you. An adventure mindset and availability are my primary requisites because to me, life IS adventure.

A shopping list of superficial attributes would be myopic. However, generic qualities of personal character and demeanor are auspicatory. Please be here for the right reasons. You may depend upon my reciprocation.

PLEASE be: sincere, direct, decorous, discerning, deportment and netiquette savvy, in CONTROL of your life with a grammatical, coherent, illustrative, credible profile and SIGNED correspondence (your given name is fine).

PLEASE, spare me:
NO addictives: trustees of modern chemistry, tobacco, alcohol, food or religion.
NO transparent vacuous dissembling persiflage, solecism, solipsism, fantasy or rant.
NO TROLLERS, NO UNAVAILABLES
NO polyandrists, misandrists, strumpets, grifters, psychos, neurotics, schemers, faith healers or self-mutilators.
NO opportunists, philistines, space cadets, wing nuts, "body language experts", persons who've dedicated their lives to babysitting their houseplants, ADHD-I sufferers or prophets of the B-B-D.

He's actually looking for RAT900, but his strategy is all wrong. More's the pitty.

Is this guy looking for a woman?

Reminds me of the douche in this audio clip (same guy?).  Laborious to listen to but fascinating – like a car wreck.

Indeed this is the guy that ensures that battery sales to women will never drop off...they will only increase

This guy sounds more like the definition of "tool"

if i ever run for office i'm hiring rat as my spokesperson.

if anyonce can deflect any bad i have done in my life and accentuate why the other guy is worse it's him.  [laugh]

Actually the shorthand of all this fits into one brief sentence "Man-God seeks worshippers"
