Shippo, 68

In Search Of: Companion, Explorer, and Co-Creator I lead a very engaged, active life. Although I've retired legally I haven't retired literally. I just do what I want to do and only pursuit those things that I feel passionate about. S-- and Gender Civil rights with a special mission to serve the trans community are what I focus all my time, talent and treasure on these days.

Specifically I've created a non-profit with a business plan that works in stages cumulating in the founding of an intentional community here in Arizona. No one believes in me so I work entirely alone.

I have next to nothing in common with the people I know. I'm told by everyone that I'm a good listener but I wish I had somebody to listen and talk with. I've never had a close friend. I thought I had friends but eventually realized they didn't feel the same way, they never reciprocated my affection and respect.

Along with wanting a companion, I very badly wanted to have a family but I eventually had to give that dream up to.

I'm well read, I've played music professionally, I've worked as an engineer and analyst for a couple of Fortune 500 companies, I'm fascinated by all the arts and sciences. In particular I study behavioral science, applied personal and communal psychology within the environmental psychology paradigm. I invent things constantly and after having several projects stolen from me have learned to keep my mouth shut about my work.

I'm willing to date a natal female but would prefer to date a trans woman with similar interests, temperament, values.
