I live in rural West Virginia where I taught music in the county public schools for 35 years. I have felt out of place my whole life, but circumstances kept me here in West Virginia, the Mountain State. At this point in my life I own my house, I am not prepared to move out of state nor am I looking for a housemate. The typical man in the state is into outdoors activities 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 and flower conservatories. I am a musician (flutist) who plays music in small ensembles with friends on a weekly basis. This is who I am. I have rather unique interests.

I am seeking LOCAL AREA MEN (gay or straight) in or near North Central West Virginia for friendship and possibly a sexual relationship, who enjoy one or more of my interests. I live outside Elkins, WV. A friendship needs mutual interests and concerns to thrive. We all have life's daily challenges to face that can also cement a friendship. I am NOT necessarily seeking a LTR or a housemate. I need a good friend and companion to do things with, to share a meal, attend concerts, plays and movies, take trips whether a day trip or an extended trip, and be there to support each other and enjoy each other's company. If we are compatible, a sexual relationship would not be out of the question.

If you appreciate older men and live close to North Central West Virginia, I do hope you will reach out to me. I enjoy exchanging chat, but others who have responded to my post seem to only be interested for a couple of days then disappear.
