Physician Seeking Life Partner

43 SWM physician seeking woman to settle down with. Of course I love long hair but there is so much more that I love about a woman: her softness, compassion, sense of humor, the way she looks in a pretty dress, and how she thinks differently from a man. I enjoy being out in nature, travelling, hiking, camping, bicycling, snorkelling, photography, and cooking. If interested please contact by email @ erothen.pol.net

> Rick:> What part of the country are you in? Sounds> like we have a few things in common.Brandy, I live in California (San Francisco Bay Area) but may be willing to move for the right person. Where are you? RICK :)

Hi Brandy ! Denver is not a bad place. As I said, I would move anywhere for the right person. I am just about ready to retire anyway..and am looking for a woman to retire with. So its not important that I move to an area where there is work for me. I'm not a big skier but I like being outdoors and in nature so we might just be compatible. Please tell me what you are looking for and if there was something about my ad that particularly interested you. It might be easier if you respond to me directly by email. My address is GuyLksHair@aol.com. Hope to hear from you soon. RICK :)> I used to live in the Bay Area myself.

Yeah, me too. I was also wondering what I did wrong.At the risk of sounding like "The Love Connection" guy...keep in touch with us, will ya?: ) Bill> OK, OK, I admit it.

Dear Brandy (and all lurkers),For some reason I never got your email message. What email address did you send it to? What was the title of the email? If you want to keep all the lurkers happy we can continue to post here while we work out the email problem. I can see big smiles on the lurkers faces now :) And guess what? I looooove french twists. They are a particularly good hairstyle to put flowers in :)))> Tina:> I did send Rick a private message, but primarily> all I said was that the reason I was on this board> was because I have medium-long hair that I prefer> to wear up in a French Twist most of the time,> and I'm tired of being with people who constantly> nag me about wearing it down.

Brandy,I am 43 years old but I've been working hard for the last 20 years to become financially secure. I think I am finally there. I am a physician with specialty in psychiatry. I have never been married and have no children. I think I told you about the things I enjoy in my first posting (nature, hiking, bicycling, music, coooking, and travel). I love natural settings and natural women (no makeup). What i enjoy most is either doing a womans hair for her or taking her to get it done (I especially love roller sets...rollers make a womans hair so soft, shiney, and bouncey).Do you have a picture? I can't imagine how i missed ur email. What was the title of it? Perhaps u could send ur email address one more time but we can continue to post here for all the lurkers. RICK :)> Rick:> I sent the message to: GuyLksHair@aol.com> In fact, I did a "cut & paste" from> your message to make sure I got it right, and> usually if it's wrong it will bounce back...and> it didn't...> Here it is, in its entirety:> "Just thought I would drop a line and> see 'where it goes' .    If you're ready to retire,> I'm curious...How old are you?  (I should be honest> and tell you that I'm definately over-40....)>   I'm on the board because I have medium-long> hair, I generally wear it up in a French Twist,> and I thought it might be interesting to have> a relationship with someone who appreciated it,> instead of constantly nagging me about wearing> it down.  It's sort of part of my persona, and> I'm not likely to change much.   So tell me more> about yourself...      B>"> Now, there's nothing there that I can't say> out in public. .

Ok, Ok.....I've had it already. Will you guys just get together and make this world a little nicer. I think all the posts have been wonderful, and I really hope you keep it up, but life is to short.....GET TOGETHER!!!! But please keep us informed of all the magic......Warm wishes to you both.....:)> Oh, Honey, you do NOT want to see me without> makeup...That falls into the category of "pay> no attention to that man behind the curtain.">> We share a lot of the same interests, i.e.,> nature, hiking, music, cooking, travel...I'll> pass on the bicycling, just because my knees aren't> all that great, (18 years of skiing).> I tried resending the same message to you> with a subject line of "Test...."

Hi, guy...Yeah, if this keeps up we'll have to publish...I don't have any pictures that are digitized right now, and since I just started a new job, I'm not sure when I'll be able to find a scanner at work; (I'm sure there are some, but it may take a while to track one down). As soon as I start getting a couple of paychecks in I'll probably invest in one of my own...Personally, I don't mind rollers, (I assume you mean "wet sets"). I used to go almost every weekend and do the whole wet set bit, but I haven't done that since about 1986. Ever since they came out with the hot rollers, there's no need.We'll chat later...> Dear Brandy (and Tina and Joe and Bill and> all other lurkers),> I love when you call me "honey"> (see below).

Tina:You know, the Coffee Commercial people came to my mind a couple of days ago too! Now if he shows up at my door with a pizza and a set of hot rollers, I KNOW I'm in trouble!

Hi, guy...Actually I wasn't thinking about any other "perceived benefits" than making myself look better. I used to have a "standing appointment" every Saturday with a shop in Texas. It was my one "weekly splurge" on myself.I use the hot rollers with the fuzzy surfaces, so I don't really buy into the "terminal damage" argument. I look better with a "set" than without, and I can put them in for about 5 minutes, and I'm done., and I eat red meat, and have an occasional cocktail when I get home from work...(but on the other hand, I don't smoke!)...I guess I'll just have to past the hot-roller damage...B>> Tell me more, tell me more, tell me more...> Yes I was referring to wetsets. Hot rollers damage> hair but setting hair wet in rollers actually> is good for the haiur because it smoothes the> cuticle of the hair and protects the ends from> damage while they dry (because the layers of hair> rolled on top of the ends protect them from heat).> Why were you setting ur hair every week? I would> be curious to know what you saw as the perceived> benefits. Looking forward to the next installment...> RICK :)
