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

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.

OK, OK, I admit it. I have been enjoying reading the posts between you and Brandy. I was disappointed to see that you have suggested an offline conversation.I guess this means that I have a slight case of voyeurism. Well at least I am admitting that I enjoyed it. :-)I am not looking to meet anyone since I am happily attached, but I did enjoy watching you and Brandy interact.Good luck to both of you and thanks for letting me see the first part. :-)Tina> Hi Brandy !

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' .

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...."

Dear Brandy (and Tina and Joe and Bill and all other lurkers),I love when you call me "honey" (see below). This is becoming a soap opera...but I kind of like it. We may want to publish it in hardcopy in the future. I'm glad we were able to finally solve the email problem. If at anytime we want to get "personal" we can use that option. I dont think its time to get together yet because then we wont be able to entertain TIna, Bill, and Joe with our daily letters. Are you going to send me a picture? What are you looking for besides a man who is ok with your hair up? You never did say you feel about getting your hair set in rollers... RICK :)> 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...."

You guys are wonderful.I personally don't care if you ever meet....both of your posts are better than any TV movie of the week and I personally am loving the adventures of Rick and Brandy. In fact....you guys should consider doing a coffee commerical. :-)Thanks for sharing with us all.Tina the Happy Lurker> 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).

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 :)> 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).

I don't smoke either. Red meat isn't good for me (I'm plagued with mildly elevated cholesterol even though I only weigh 150 pounds) but I will eat it if it really tastes good. I'm glad to here that you think you look better with a set than without because I love what rollers do for a girl's hair....make it bouncy, give it shine (changes the way it reflects light), and make it soft. I do think that wetsets give better results but there is the disadvantage of the extra time required and the expense. So let me ask you..if I wet set your hair for you or paid for a salon to set it and kept you "entertained" while it was drying, could I convince you to go back to your weekly wetset?In addition to pretty hair I like loyal, honest, intelligent women with a sense of humor. What time of man are you looking for? Do you have any children? Are you looking to have any? Write back soon ...

Hi Brandy,So do you want me to come and visit you? Would you at least get your hair set for the occasion of our meeting if I paid for it?
