Personals
I WAS AT SWANLIGHTS tonight. You were too, or wished you were. Woman, 47. I read, think, and talk about ideas for work and because I like to. Like everyone now, I enjoy food. I am not a vegetarian. People say I am beautiful. I am private about my private life, and public about my public life. I’m single, tall. I’d love a kid, a dog, a man. Aber klar: coffee first. I live in Jackson Heights, I am a philosophy professor, I am way older than the lovely interns, but not old enough for NYRB. I actually do belong to Generation X, and we always slip through cracks. From: www.npluspersonals.com.
CAUCASIAN EARLY TWENTYSOMETHING, a recent transplant from Los Angeles, seeks a woman to not give a shit with. Hates the word “disparate” because it’s so damn pretentious, but looks forward to using it in conversation. Appreciates heavy doses of sarcasm chased by scotch, red wine or tap water. Eloquent shouting a must, elegantly draped clothing optional. Misses people he’s never met, but always careful to appreciate the ones he has. Shallow without being vapid, pretentious but with the utmost earnestness. From: www.npluspersonals.com.
WELL EDUCATED, VERY SUCCESSFUL, passionate, feminine and international woman, mid 60s who adores culture, is a trustee in the art world and who is also a keen philanthropist, is looking for a committed, long term relationship. He would ideally be politically central, Episcopalian, possess a strong sense of self and be solvent and accomplished in his own right. Open-mindedness is important, as is kindness and a global mindset. A genuine interest in the world, intelligence with a great sense of humour, US based and 60 to 70 years of age. Reply: claire@grayandfarrar.com.
MY PERFECT DAY: Early morning waterfront walk in companionable silence or lively banter with a dear friend or mate; friendly jousting over Scrabble board; cooking dinner together; dancing to a swing band. I work in Toronto in my own business (Writer and performer lucky to make a good living using these skills). Me: Flourishing-50s woman; South-African born; Oxford educated; recovering lawyer; former journalist; book-lover, opera; cultural traveler; Italophile; sometime community theatre performer; loyal friend; lively spirit; empathetic; divorced (but still optimistic about the institution of marriage). You: 50–65-year-old man; kind; generous-hearted; open-minded; opinionated, but not bigoted; smart; confident; established; lover of words, books, ideas. Geography negotiable. Sound worth exploring? If so, please e-mail: flourishing50s@gmail.com.
BORN ON FEBRUARY 18? Come celebrate our mutual birthday! 50+ only, please. Fagenent@yahoo.com; (718) 522-0506.

MID 50s. Jewish bisexual Mensch. I’m intellectual, kind, funny, cute, world-travelled, Ivy-educated. I’ve been married monogamously for many years. I’m now looking for a gay male friend (preferably with benefits) to help my explore my dormant gay self. Manhattan or Brooklyn. rkbrooklyn@gmail.com.
PASSIONATE PHOTOGRAPHER, former Silicon Valley CEO, current director public boards. Slim, athletic, really attractive, fit. Casual elegance, lively smile, generous heart, irreverent wit. Excellent traveler, true friend, creative, innovative, charitable, open. Adventurous, fun and funny, never full of herself. Easygoing, curious, modest—finds writing this somewhat over the top. Movie-goer, animal-lover, news-junkie, lousy dancer, hiker (New Zealand, Basque Country, Marin County—probably wouldn’t do Machu Picchu—too precipitous). Favorites: books on iPad, Stanford continuing ed and basketball games, cashmere sweaters, great restaurants with friends, walking my Border Collie, African safaris, rafting/camping Alaska, photographing wild animals everywhere, revisiting Europe. Seeks active, articulate man 56 to fit 70, prefers Northern CA-area man but open—intelligence, street-smarts, financially stable. judithabcxyz@gmail.com; (650) 346-5645.

ME: MEDIUM HEIGHT, bird-like build, blonde, and blue-eyed with a hint of Anna Karenina. Enjoy a healthy mix of mid-twenties yuppiedom and deep literary contemplation. Attempting to be a writer in my free time has resulted in many weekend mornings spent over hemp milk lattes in the company of friends. Would like to keep friends, but also acquire a romantic and vaguely mysterious companion. You: Humorous, intellectual, able to enjoy slightly overwrought independent films and indulge (but not necessarily follow) my pro-animals diet. An arty manly-man, if you will. Leaning leftwards politically, such that we may avoid petty spats over half-full wine glasses. Perhaps prone to a certain sense of wonder, leading to wanderlust with an idealistic aftertaste. One of the two: Tall and attractive in an old-world way, potentially possessing an aristocratic nose and spectacles. Alternately—ruggedly handsome, potentially possessing a pit bull mix or a ranch in Wyoming. If you are both, I tip my hat to you. For this ad and more, please visit: npluspersonals.com.
