Everyone’s favorite 40-something Hopeful, the absolutely stunning @melissalalucy, tagged me for this survey. Thanks, I think! ❤
· If you were someone of the opposite gender to yours, what would you do?
Break down as many of the remaining barriers as I can. ✊
· What is the craziest cause why you have stopped liking someone?
In the old TV shows and movies that I grew up on, when characters kissed, you didn’t see any tongue action. So, when I was 14 and Shirley C. tried to French kiss me for the first time, I freaked out and split. When I told my big sister what happened, she laughed and said that’s the best part. I couldn’t wait to try again, but Shirley was out of the picture, so I had to wait another year for that tongue action. 💋👅😆
· What would be the first thing you buy if you had a million pound?
I’d travel to all the places on my bucket list. Too many to list here. ✈️
· If my answer was YES to everything, what would you ask?
It’s unclear who is asking the question here; maybe the person who tagged me? In that case “am I really the sexiest old dude you’ve ever met?” 🤣
· What is the strangest place where you have slept?
Fully clothed, lights on, on top of the covers, gun by my side, in a roach infested motel off the Pacific Coast Highway somewhere between LA and San Francisco. One of those places that rent rooms by the hour. I really needed to crash somewhere on a Saturday night and that was the only place available. I peed outside rather than even go into the bathroom. Should have just slept in my car. 😬
· What is the strangest place you have visited?
Hmm.... Probably Nogales, Mexico. On vacation back in the 1980s, I was visiting an old girlfriend who had moved to Tucson after high school. Crossing the border was like walking onto a 1940s Hollywood movie set. It was actually pretty cool until I did a couple shots of Mezcal (worm in the bottle), got separated from my friend and lost. To this day, I have no idea how I got back to the US, but somehow my friend found and rescued me before I ended up in jail. Thanks, Dawn! 💋
· At what age did you notice that you can't say “parallelepiped” without pressing your lips
I’ve never seen that word before now. 🙄
· Describe yourself in 5 words.
Easygoing (one word), shy, lazy, curious, loyal
· What is the strangest dream you've ever had?
I’ve had some sex dreams that Freud would have an absolute field day with, but I won’t detail here. 😳
· What is the strangest thing you have eaten?
I’m pretty careful about what I put in my mouth. 🤭 Probably some chocolate covered grasshoppers in Texas. 😝
· What did you want to be when you were 10 years old?
Probably a soldier, like a Green Beret. The Vietnam War kind of ended that for me.
· What superpower would you like to have?
Invisibility.
· What is the dumbest lie you've ever told to reject someone?
“No, really Honey, there’s nobody else. I just want to be on my own for a while.” Five days later, caught red-handed with Nobody Else at a Rod Stewart concert and publicly berated in front of a couple thousand people. I really could have used that superpower right then. 🥴
So, no pressure, but it be fun to see responses from @skisby @adam_bovary @quinnderella @oldun65
