I live in rural West Virginia. I have felt out of place my whole life, but circumstances have kept me here. The typical man in the state is into hunting, fishing, hiking, camping and anything outdoors, smoking, drinking, and team sports. Whereas I enjoy Culture events such as symphony concerts, opera, ballet, Broadway musicals and plays, historical sites such as battlefields, forts, restored towns (ex. Colonial Williamsburg), touring 19th century houses, visiting a variety of museums, galleries, conservatories, photographing cemetery art in Victorian Museums and playing classical music in small ensembles with friends on a regular basis. This is who I am. Finding local area men ( gay or straight) for friendship and possible relationship, that enjoy one or more of my interests is quite difficult. At this point in my life, I am not prepared to move out of state.
