Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Chandler, 56 year old

Date single man from Arizona, United States. How does one describe themselves. There is the man I think I am, and the one the world sees. Hopefully, they are pretty simular?
I am a low maintenance guy. I am open to try just about anything. Currently, my career is the main focus and I need to change that.
I am an active guy. No Sat afternoon naps for me. I have been told I have a great sense of humor. When I am not at work, I am at the gym, hiking, biking, walking the dogs or yardwork. I play acoustic guitar, but so far, no recording contracts..lol..
I don't watch a lot of TV. The last show I was following was House, but I believe the show has run it's course. Mostly a movie guy, football games or Discovery Channel type stuff. However, you may catch me watching Family Guy on ocasion. Have to give my giant brain a rest once in a while :)
I have read a lot of profiles about beach/ocean lovers. Just to let you know, we live in a desert. I like to be around water as well, but it does not happen all that often. I don't want to start a qualification list here. If you have a sense of humor, somewhat active and an IQ above room temperature, I hope to hear from you.

Meet someone special from Arizona, United States. I have learned that it does take time to find the right one....obviously I'm still here so it is taking a bit longer but that's ok......I'm patient, not desperate and not broken....just picky as you should be as well.
I believe two key ingredients to a start of a healthy relationship are Timing and Attraction....without both...it simply doesn't work. You know...when you meet someone and you're ready to settle down and they just started their single life...Timing is off.
Once those two are in place....then it's, respect, kindness, communication, trust and the will to want to make your partner smile everyday....yes it is all about the little things. I want to make you smile everyday for the rest of your life!
I am first and foremost a proud Dad, a total giver, a caring Man, loving, passionate, extremely funny and simple yet complicating lol. Overall good guy with an edge :-) I am confident and don't need a woman in my life to complete me...just simply want one and only one to share all the great moments that this life has to offer. I'm not a serial dater in fact just the opposite...although apparently being somewhat cute makes some think I'm a player....please don't judge a book by it's cover because this cat is great reading material if you simply turn the pages :-) My life's jorney so far has been filled with ups and downs but I wouldn't change it for the World.
I'd like to find a woman that I'm attracted to, that is funny, a giver, a Great Mom (if you have kids), done with the bar scene but likes to go out, honest, caring and believes that love does exist. Trust me I totally believe in love and would like to have that once again.
Anyhoo if you're interested just say hello....and for those that want to be text buddies or email back and forth for ages....please find someone else...while dating can be scary and there are alot of not so nice Men on here...I'm not one of them and would like to be in a relationship...so stop with the High School drama and be REAL.

Date a man from Arizona, United States. Note: Please be respectful of my preferences for age: 40-56. I have made the range as broad as I feel I comfortably can, and will not respond to the very young or those who are beyond 56.
I know most people don't read more than 30 seconds, so here is the brief overview: Born and raised in Arizona; taught to be respectful, expected to be charitable. "Please" and "Thank you" come easily. Never one to have temper tantrums. Married once, with one now-adult daughter, widowed in 1998. Well-educated and sometimes sophisticated. I have had a couple of great careers, one in public service, one in the corporate world. Now embarking on yet another version of the re-invented me... ask me about it, if you like.
For those still reading, I have always enjoyed being outdoors: boating, skiing, hiking, quading, camping, fishing, hunting (not so much anymore). I am so used to sunshine, I couldn't imagine living anywhere without it. I have traveled quite a bit - most of the states, Europe a few times, the Caribbean often. Name a major US city, and I can probably at least describe the airport terminal there.
I have a deeper side and can carry conversations about politics (moderate Republican; the Tea Party makes me want to barf), theology (the things we are not supposed to discuss on a coffee date) and sometimes tell interesting stories. Friends describe me as level-headed, calming, easy-going, with a terrific (the root word is terror, I believe) sense of humor.
Because I have been single for a long time, I have a pretty good idea of the lady I am most likely to respond to... breathing is at the top of that list. Okay, seriously, I am attracted to women who value life, love, faith. She is likely to be highly attractive, active, intelligent and accomplished. If any of that rings your bell, tell me and maybe I can ring yours. I really dislike being on Match; help me to escape, please.

Meet a soulmate from Arizona, United States. I'm a single father of 4 kids from 5 to 19, with 3 living at home, so it probably makes sense that you'd like kids and maybe even have some.
I'd like to meet someone who is active, adventurous, compassionate, and smart, with a great sense of humor. For me a relationship is about resonance, with an understanding who you believe you are, and what you think you want (or don't want). I was born and raised in Minnesota, so have the midwest ethic if ya know what I mean.
I get along best with people who do not pretend to know things that they cannot possibly know.
There are very few things better than: scuba diving in the Caribbean; standing on top of a Colorado 14er; sailing anywhere; watching your child learn to do something for the first time.
I love the outdoors - desert, mountains, ocean. Favorite locales: local Phoenix parks, Chiricahuas, Rocky Mtn Natl Park, Durango, San Diego, Tucson.

Date men and women from Arizona, United States. About the one I'm looking for...
What's attractive to me in a female is; smarter. A female that can ride a mountain bike and a motorcycle, drive a car without hitting anything, is independent and business savvy with a dry humor.The 'i am sorry ladies' section: if you smoke even socially, have been shot, shoot up or like to play cards not my type, have more than 3 off-spring, have cats, have a house full of nick-knacks-and your parents furniture live with your parents (unless you live in L. A. or Palm Springs), not my type.
Friends would describe me as a man who has integrity, values, is very affectionate and is a true gentleman!
I'd just like to add...
I like to cook if you like to clean. Lean more toward the vegetarian type foods. Extra points if you are on the thinner side and a 'sales and marketing' type. Think or like to think i am someone who is honest, loyal, trustworthy, and whom is self confident. I do not play games, or with peoples emotions, and am hoping for the same in return. Extra points if you can saddle and bridle a horse........
And on the humor side....what floor are you?????
A store that sells husbands has just opened where a woman may go to choose a husband from among many men. The store is composed of 6 floors, and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch. As you open the door to any floor you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building. So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs. The woman reads the sign and says to herself, Well, thats better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder whats further up? So up she goes. The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids. The woman remarks to herself, Thats great, but I wonder whats further up? And up she goes again. The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking. Hmmm, better she says.But I wonder whats upstairs? The fourth floor sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking and help with the housework.Wow! exclaims the woman, very tempting. BUT, there must be more further up! And again she heads up another flight. The fifth floor sign reads Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak. Oh, mercy me! But just think... what must be awaiting me further on? So up to the sixth floor she goes. The sixth floor sign reads Floor 6 - You are visitor 6,875,953,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please....................

Meet people from Arizona, United States. There are a few things that you should know about me. 1. I don't drink coffee- I know weird but trust me I make up for it in coke zero. 2. I have never met a cheeseburger I didn't like- as I have gotten older I have had to adjust the exercise to burger ratio. 3. I drive a pickup truck- it works for my lifestyle. I am teaching myself to cook, o.k. only with a crock pot so far but you have to start somewhere. I enjoy a wide variety of activities especially anything that involves water, sand, boats and mountains. I am looking for someone who is down to earth and easy going. I am an easy going person that enjoys the simple things in life. I feel I am honest sometimes to a fault. I believe strongly that you have to have mutual respect and communications to build a healthy relationship. I haven't dated for a while so needless to say internet dating is all very new to me. I am pretty much an open book so just ask and I will tell you.

Date a man from Chandler, United States. Love my work, but like to play when not in the office! I like all forms of adult play -- sports, coffee and talk, martinis and talk, movies...you name it if it is fun for both of us.

Who ever said "Laughter is the best medicine" was right! I am a one year cancer survivor...this has changed my attitude towards life...I was determined not to get down about it, but (as cliche as it sounds) to enjoy every day as it comes.
