Friends         | Born in Germany to American parents, I carry a blend of international intrigue and homegrown confidence. My passion for nutrition and health fuels my dedication to bodybuilding—because strength isn’t just a mindset, it’s a lifestyle. Winter sports thrill me, whether it’s carving through fresh powder or commanding the reins on horseback. Archery? Let’s just say I have a knack for hitting my mark. Armed with both a Master’s and a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania, I appreciate conversations that are sharp, playful, and—when the mood strikes—deliciously provocative I’m not here searching for romance, but I do crave exchanges that spark curiosity and keep things interesting. While I’m not opposed to PMs, I prefer the energy of the room. Passive? Hardly. Beneath my strength lies a deeply compassionate and caring nature—because power without heart is just empty bravado.  Hey everyone, I just wanted to share a quick note about how I manage my online friendships. While I appreciate the conversations we’ve had, I typically keep my friends list filled with those who actively engage with me. If someone doesn’t initiate or respond to messages over time, I usually remove or unfriend them—not out of anything personal, but simply to keep my connections meaningful and interactive. If you’d like to stay in touch, I’m always open to a good conversation. Feel free to reach out anytime! Take care! ULF View all 13 posts  Makes sense to me….i deleted some recently for the same reason Ulf. And need to trim more.   No one needs to fight to be my friend. Just be honest, and have a good sense of humor, and know I value my friends, and try to keep their friendship. So if I mess up tell me. i would rather know it than lose a friend.. Ulf (Post deleted by ULFFLU ) Happy birthday! Honestly, I think you’re just showing off at this point—how many birthdays does one person get?! You’ve got a solid lead on me, but I’ll let it slide because you wear 80 so well. Love you tons—hope you soak up every joyful, cake-filled moment of your special day! Love, Ulf 💖  Hey, ULF -- your loyal friendship has been a constant daily birthday present in my life that never stops giving. I'm honored to have been your friend all these years. And at my funeral -- when I've finally sloughed off this constraining mortal vessel and can soar like an angel (or a "devil") on the Astral Plane -- I'm counting on you singing (using your exquisite, resonant baritone) "Denn alles Flesich, es ist wie Gras" from the Brahms Requiem. Love you, too, buddy!!   WARNING: PROTECT YOURSELF FROM SEXTORTION There are dangerous people online who trick teens—especially boys—into sending explicit photos. They pretend to be someone trustworthy, get the picture, and then blackmail the victim for large sums of money. If they don’t pay, the scammers threaten to share the images publicly. Some victims, overwhelmed by fear and shame, have tragically taken their own lives. The numbers are alarming: Sextortion has been linked to at least 30 teen suicides since 2021. The FBI has reported a 30% increase in sextortion-related tips in just six months. The majority of victims are boys between the ages of 13 and 17. NEVER send personal pictures to anyone online. No one who truly cares about you will ever ask for them. If someone pressures you or threatens you, tell a trusted adult, teacher, or the police immediately. You are not alone, and there is help available. If you or a friend are struggling, reach out. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 for confidential support. Stay safe. Spread the word. Protect each other. View all 5 posts  ULF is definitely a model ... a model human being. Awww. But legit, he is. Oh yeah, he does look like one of those sexy models too. I think he would be great in a superhero movie. Proud of you two guys {{{Ethan and Stephen}}} for being able to recognize and acknowledge quality in a man when you see it. Removing you from my friends list will happen only when i quit Wire. You are too special and thoughtful always. A great friend. Ulf OMG. Not even fair ULF. Way too hot. So many good ones of you. Hard to choose best profile pic. :-)  Totally love your new updated bio in the About section. Really does capture you. I also appreciate your genuine protector values, as a law enforcement officer and as a friend. You have the awesome combination of an incredible bod, mega brains, and a good heart. Go ULF! Some nice guns. Handsome face. I think the only word that describes that kind of perfection is... ULF. Damn I thought perfection equaled Stephen. Oh well, back to the drawing board lol Good advice Joel... Fountainhead certainly is a brilliant piece of literature, and I am sure Ethan will read it and understand when he is thirty or forty. For now let him enjoy the wonderful writings of Rebecca Yarros. Joel I do not recommend her works to you. LMAO "Joel, I do not recommend her works to you. LMAO" NONSENSE! I'm sure I'll be more than eager to undertake exploring Rebecca Yarros just as soon as I enter my dotage (second childhood) -- which probably isn't all that far off. In any event, I DO recall as a youth reading a trilogy entitled "MY FATHER'S DRAGON" -- something about a tame dragon held captive on some weird island where "skunk cabbage" was one of the vegetables that grew there. LMAO! Well the books I am reading are set at a war college in a land called Navarre where they train Scribes, Healers, Infantry, and Dragon Riders and the kingdom is protected by magical boundaries called Wards, but the leadership of the country is keeping the people and even most of their military in the dark about what is really beyond the wards and how Navarre is casting innocent neighbors as the enemy they have abandoned to keep the real threat busy. They have completely rewritten history to cover it up. The girl hero (Violet) is the daughter of a prominent scribe, her dad who dies (and leaves clues for her about the truth of what is going on in the world), and the commanding general of the school, her mom, who makes her abandon her calling as a scribe to join the Dragon Quadrant instead. Being a student at the school is highly dangerous, it is hard to know who to trust, and a large number of students do not even survive (there is a death roll every morning announcing who died at school that day) and she is especially targeted by other students given who she is. She is not a super physically strong person, but she is fierce and determined, and wicked smart, and makes some loyal friends, and bonds with TWO dragons instead of just the normal one, and of course falls in love with a bad boy Wingleader (Xaden) who is the son of a former "traitor" who hates the mom but ends up falling in love with the girl hero and they figure out the truth (which both their dads knew and tried to expose). Her main dragon is one of the largest fiercest and famous dragons (Tairn) who picks her because he senses her honor and courage and she gets picked by a second dragon instead of just one (Andarna) which is a rapidly growing new dragaon with an adolescent attitude from an egg that took hundreds of years to hatch and is a kind of dragon no one has seen before. Violent (who her BF calls Violence) develops the power to wield lightening (they all get powers called signets from their dragons), which comes in handy when the real enemy beyond the wards can only be killed by two things, one of which is her lightening. She goes from a scaredy cat nerd to a kick ass hero with a kick ass BF who has a dragon of his own (Sageal). Their dragons happen to be mated, which means Violet and Xaden at a certain point find they can hear each others thoughts. Xaden is almost unbeatable in hand to hand combat and result, and he can wield shadows (making him really sneaky) and read people's mental intentions (good, bad, their next move). He is supposed to hate her because of her mother, but adores her and of course they are constantly saving each other, although he ends up having to do it more because she keeps getting herself in jams figuring out the truth of everything. OK there is my book report. I am on the third book and leaving lots of stuff out. Lots of hot explicit sex stuff too which is very nice now and then, lots of humor, lots of adventure, and mystery, and nerdy magic world stuff. It is probably not great literature, but it is entertaining to me. Prob TMI. It is not fair you sending hot pics of your muscles while you are traveling and we cannot talk to you. LOL |
