I never know what to say in such a small space; dialogue is so much easier than monologue. However, to get started, I've been told my most striking trait is my eyes ... they are blue with a depth that holds (what I hope is) wisdom earned through suffering. Not that I'm a hypochondriac or someone who is seeking pity; that's not what I mean. It's just that I've had some hard lessons, and hopefully have learned from them. Overall I am very happy. However, at times I feel lonely, and I guess that's why I'm writing this. I have found happiness, meaning, beauty, and peace in my life, and am not looking for someone to provide that for me. However, I am looking for someone to share these with. I am a very sensual man (please don't restrict the connotations of that beautiful word solely to the sexual; there is so much more meaning behind those three syllables) and I crave to be touched, held, caressed by someone who cares deeply. And I want to caress softly and gently someone I care deeply for. However, it's more important to go slow, and when things like that happen, it will be all the more enjoyable. I want to spoil someone, and I want to be told that I'm a beautiful man. As far as my interests ... I'm of Irish descent and have a passion for anything and everything Irish, especially Irish music and a good Guinnis (although the stuff you get over here doesn't hold a candle to what they have on dear old Erin's aisle.) So, if you're Irish, part Irish; if you have an appreciation for Irish culture, or an openness to learn about it, we may hit it off well very well indeed! Also, I love animals. Oh, as you can tell, I spent a lot of time on my profile. If your profile simply says "Hi" or otherwise provides absolutely no information about yourself, please don't respond. I'm working on this, and I'm looking for someone who is also willing to put a little bit of effort into this. Sorry, but I think that's just common sense.
