Since people ask me what I’m looking for in a man, I’ve decided to compile a list so that potential applicants know what requirements they need to meet should they apply. If you do not meet all of the following requirements, your application will quickly land in the world wide web’s circular file:
- Is a nudist.
- Likes country music (bonus points for knowing all the words to either Through the Years or Red Solo Cup.)
- Sees Mister Rogers as a hero, just as I do.
- Can agree to disagree without hard feelings or temper tantrums.
- Eats normal healthy food. That is, I can identify everything they eat.
- No illegal drugs or alcoholism.
- Spending an afternoon with a bucket of bubble solution and a bubble wand equals utopia.
- Shows respect for my family- they’re the only family Ive got and they’re a little quirky.
- Reads and is well-read.
- Must love dogs. Especially a cute little cockapoo named Little Bare.
- When describing his age, includes half years as needed (ie. 38 and a half.)
- With the age thing, he’s not so old that he could be my grandfather nor is he so young he could be my grandson (I’m 37 for those who don’t know my age. My birthday was on July 18. If you sent me a gift, card, or kind message, that would have given you bonus points!)
- Enjoys tree climbing.
- When asked if the glass is half empty or half full, quickly loses sight of the question and wonders what in the world people are thinking to entrust him with glass rather than plastic.
- No prison record that would exempt him from being a good guy.
- Has respect for one of the greatest inventions ever: the Slip n’ Slide.
- Sees every day as a holiday to be celebrated.
So there ya go- my list! Not quite a bucket list or a Christmas List, I suppose. Actually, in thinking about it, it’s kind of a mix of the two. Now to create the application for anyone choosing to apply…

All admirable traits! Di and I wish you all the luck in your endeavors to find this person. I’m outta the running … I don’t care for country music, you’ve witnessed my temper tantrums online, I’m not a reader, I’m 59 and 3/4′s, currently it’s hard climbing into the car … but can relate quite well with the rest! LOL
Love and hugs,
A
If I wasnt already married I think I would have fit them all perfectly…
Hi, Melissa!!!
I stumbled on your blog, and have quickly come to the conclusion that you are a very special woman! Like you, I’m searching for a special someone to share the journey to the end of life, and like you, I’m searching for a nudist! The best way to find those, I think, is to look where they are known to gather!
For 42 years I was married to the most beautiful woman in the world! Then, one morning about a year or so ago, I woke up and she didn’t! The pain and disorientation were horrendous, but little by little, I climbed out and I’m sitting on the threshold of a new life, one that will be quite nude!
I loved your “requirements list” and think I’m a pretty good fit! A couple of points, though:
• I HATE country music (most of which is an absolute downer) but I DO know the lyrics to “Thru the Years” (Kenny Rodgers version, no?). I LOVE jazz, and I am a highly accomplished jazz guitarist!
• I’m not sure why Fred Rodgers should be held a hero, but whoever did his theme music deserves a hero’s badge! It’s the best jazz piano I’ve ever heard!
• I, too, love dogs, and have a Bichon Friese named “Phoebe Snow”. She doesn’t sing, but often stands at the door and whimpers (probably trying to tell me something)!
• The age thing? I’m 69 1/12! Technically, I suppose I could be your grandfather, but I gotta tell ya, it’s a stretch! Actually, my personal belief is that beyond a certain threshold, age means very little. I kinda stopped counting at 35, which is when I became eligible for the presidency (I’m still eligible)!
• There are a few things I WOULD NOT do in the nude, i.e. bake a pizza, overhaul a Diesel locomotive, or fork-lift a drum of nitric acid! I suspect that climbing a tree (with sharp bark patches and long drops) probably belongs on this list!
• The bubble-solution thing strikes me as wonderful, especially if I get to immerse myself into the tub!
• Quirky family? Yeah, I got one of those, too! The great beauty in this is that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, something for which we should both be very thankful! Personally, I take great pride in my quirky-ness (In some circles, I am considered “charismatic” and even “Eccentric”).
• I’ve never heard of a slip-and-slide, but may know it by a different name (Rope-a-Dope)?
• I’m retired now, so every day is, in fact, a holiday! Actually, I enjoyed a long and rewarding career as a software engineer, specializing in speech-recognition algorithms!
Some additional thoughts:
In my mind, you don’t have to go barefoot to be considered nude. There are too many stones and cement patches and seashells to dodge. My solution is to get a pair of “Nude Shoes”, plastic shoes used only for nudist purposes. Mine are grey. I haven’t been able to find a pair of flesh colored ones yet!
I am giving some serious thought to the possibility of getting a tattoo, probably right on my behind! It will be tasteful (probably music related) and will not be visible when I am clothed. Your thoughts?
There was once a time when I was a pretty good figure skater, and indeed have actually won a gold medal in a USFSA-sanctioned competition. I have never performed in the nude, but it’s on my bucket list!
I give not a tinkers damn about who might photograph me full-frontal and broadcast the photo on the net. Having said this, though, I HATE cell phones! I HATE the appalling broadcast quality, I HATE the 300ms delay between speech and transmission (which makes a normal conversation impossible), and I HATE the thought of being on an “electronic leash” by which anyone in the world is free to interrupt me!
I see a BIG difference between “nude” and “naked”. Naked is simply a state of dress; we bathe and shower while naked. Nude, on the other hand, is something far more complex. We make love nude, so there is a sexual side to it. But it goes even beyond this! “Nude” is, more than anything, a SPIRITUAL state! I’ve noticed that EVERY woman is beautiful while she’s nude; she is surrounded with an aura which is hard to describe in words, but is unmistakable in its presence and its beauty!
Melissa, could I persuade you to engage me in an electronic dialog which would lead to an F2F meeting, probably at Sky Farms? I’ll buy lunch!

Hello. I just stumbled across your blog by sheer accident but enjoyed reading some of your entries. Your writing style is conversational and I like that.
Anyway, your list intrigued me. I s’pose we all have lists like those in our heads. If you’d care to talk more I can tell you that I’ve never been married, I’m 42 though I look younger or so I’m told often enough (whatever), 6′, 200 lbs, and most importantly (not really but maybe) I love to read and talk about life.
Cheers!
Jim
Hi Melissa!
We met at WTR in Ivor a few years ago for CNC.
I am still single and have often thought it would be fun to have lunch with you sometime.
I am a huge fan of Cheef and if he thinks you are cool, then of course I do too!
God bless!
M.
