That was rather clever and I did laugh out loud.

You could have said:

Bob,
We don't make a match. Good luck with your search.

But instead you decided to insult him in 2 different ways, and in so doing, showing what kind of person you are.

Sounds like you are both lucky.

You put some effort into that. The rejections I get are never that long.

Never give up! However, also don't compromise your principles or your needs 🥰

Sadly the time differences are likely to preclude telephoning each other and as for romance, even if we like the conversations it is likely to fail due to distance and at our ages, we probably wouldn't want to move one third of the way around the planet where one of us ends up missing friends and family.
The mountains near me are somewhat smaller than yours, but there is a nice coastline a National Health Service and plentiful Indian restaurants. Ah, we have Boris Johnston though, not Trump but similar.
So, I will just have to continue to admire you from afar.

I admire your stamina to keep your neck in the dating scene. I've all but given up on it. Especially now where I live, I'm told that the crop of guys here is abysmal. They're all immature, alcoholic, or here part-time. So... while I am still open to meeting someone, I really don't think there will be any sort of long-term romantic attachment. Maybe a part-time lover is all I need, one that will be around for the summer, but once field season is over--time to leave, dude.

I love that term! It's perfect.

Keep looking

About 5 years ago I decided to review what attracted me in a woman, especially the main characteristics of the women I had unsuccessfully began a relationship with. What were they "missing"? Quite interesting. I'm still tortured, but only be the urge for my lady to want me more and more .

Not even with some metamucil on the side?

You do seem to have a knack of attracting the odd ones.
