Jerseyjoel

More about me:

I'm Joel, a retired, never-married man seeking an educated, non-smoking woman for life explorations.

I'm 5'10" tall, 204 pounds, bald, with a neatly-trimmed white beard and moustache, hazel eyes and glasses.

I was born the day before St. Patrick's Day in 1950 in The Bronx, New York, and my family moved to Jersey City in 1956, where I've lived ever since.

I am very much interested in movies, Broadway, travelling, museums, long drives, NPR and poetry...and not at all interested in sports, organized or otherwise - I just was not born with that gene. Nor do I (know how to) dance.

I am intense, smart, gentle, kind, focused, slow to anger/quick to laugh, careful with my words, at ease with all people, as they are with me. I have more questions than answers. I am hopelessly in love with my passions and I am completely unapologetic about that. I have a wide open heart and a wide open mind, and I've dealt with the past sufficiently enough to be hopeful and excited about the future.

I also know this: I've been alone too long, and it's not healthy, and it's not what we were designed for. In my heart of hearts, we were not meant to live alone, and we were not meant to die alone.

If you find any of this intriguing, or any of it has made you the least bit curious, please let me hear back from you soon.



We have absolutely nothing to lose and possibly great happiness to gain.

Perhaps together, we will find something extraordinary; perhaps together, something extraordinary will find us.

The ultimate belief would be along the lines that life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

And you..?
