Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Chandler, 57 year old

Date people from Arizona, United States. Do you ever get the feeling that trying to find someone on a dating site is like looking through a dirty laundry hamper trying to find the cleanest item to wear?
Born in Pittsburgh, PA. Grew up in Southern California near the beach, which might explain my laidback lifestyle. Did the Hollywood / Malibu thing for a while. Had more than my share of earthquakes, riots, and the high cost of living. I would never move back. But I miss the ocean and return there quite often to visit family.
I'm a pretty laid back guy that loves movies, sports, music,and travel. After long years in a high pressure sales job, I'm retired,I'm debt free,and now I'm enjoying the ride. No more schedules or freeway commutes. All my dress shirts and ties now belong to Goodwill. Now I make my own schedule. I'm pretty much up for anything new as long as its fun and stress free. I paid my dues. It would be nice to find someone that feels the same and has left that kind of life behind. I currently assist film instuctors at SCC and I'm very involved in filmaking and producing/directing/acting. I have several movies playing in festivals throughout the country. I also have been involved in sports most of my life, having played semi-pro baseball and softball for over 30 years. I believe in living a healthy lifestyle with exercise and diet, but I still got to have my pizza. (Hey,I'm Italian) I'm a hugh movie fanatic and love the older black and white classics.
I'll give this internet dating thing a try,but still not comfortable with it. So let's see. How do I write what I'm looking for without making it sound like I'm ordering a pizza? "Hmmm,I'll have a hot,thick crust,soft dough,low calorie special with a good portion of common sense. Heavy on the humor,no drugs,no smokers,no tattoos, and easy on the baggage. Please put on lot's of affection. And make sure it won't go bad if I leave it out too long. Don't worry about delivery. I'll pick it up."
Some facts about me:
*I eat balanced meals. A healthy salad one meal, and pizza the next.
*I won't jump out of an airplane,unless it's on fire, and on the ground.
*I won't sleep in the woods,when I can stay at a Holiday Inn. .
*I didn't get to retire at an early age by being lazy and stupid,so I don't need a life coach.
*I can not understand anyone that does not like animals.
*I'd rather go to Disneyland than Vegas. But hey, thats me.
*I hate Nascar,tattoos,motorcycles,and hunting. Sorry.
*You might as well be honest on your profile. That way I won't have to delete you in person.
*I hate holiday weekend traffic. I'll stay home,thank you very much.
*To anyone that smokes. One word: DELETE
*If you lied about your age on our first date, I will lie and say I enjoyed your company.
*If I read another profile where someone says they look young for their age,I think I'll puke.
*A big thumbs down to anyone that actually fills in the "income preference" space.

Date men and women from Arizona, United States. I enjoy the company of friends and family. If i am with someone I make sure they are taken care but not to the point of smothering them. I am the eternal optimist...I believe life is a gift thus I approach it with a positve attitude. I can usually find good in just about everything, even in the "tough" times that come my way I have been known to find the positive side. I wake up everyday and hit the ground running. I love to laugh and make other laugh also (but not at their expense). I don't have time for people who are negative by nature. Life is to short for a negative outlook.
I would like to find someone that "likes" themselves, has a positive attitude, can laugh at themselves as well as making others laugh (sounds like all the other profiles on this site..lol) and doesnt get to hung up on stuff they can't control. Someone who can be just as happy going on at trip around the world or just taking my dog for a walk. Also someone who doesn't lose their own identity in the relationship. Although change and compromise are part of a relationship I don't want someone to change to the point that the are not the same person I met (and possibly fell in love with) at the beginning of the relationship.

I am not pushy or demanding.
I do enjoy riding my Harley on the week ends but it iis not my life. It would be fun to have someone that enjoys riding though. I am very out doorsy and enjoy being home by the pool and having a BBQ with friends or just us.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Looking for someone to go to movies, restaurants, go on day trips and enjoy each other's company. I ride a motorcycle and I am active in my chapter so hopefully you would like to check it out. It's not necessary for you to like it but just keep an open mind. The only requirement I have is that you have a good sense of humor and can find the silver lining in that dark cloud.

Date men and women from United States. A few days left on this site before my subscription ends!
Yes, its a recent photo from last year. Doing quite well for almost 57 !!!
It is my natural hair color...no hair dye...and no follicles were harmed during this picture. I have a few grey hairs...but, thankfully, they are difficult to see in this photo.
A Navy veteran long ago, I live in the Phoenix, Arizona area ...and visit Europe and Northern Indiana a few times a year.
I'm a down to Earth, independent. self-sufficient man who still believes that heaven on earth is a sincere, down to earth, sensual woman with a wry and goofy sense of humor. I would love to have a long-term relationship with the right woman, but I don't need someone to fill any voids or to try and control me.
It doesn't matter to me if she's poor or affluent...as long as she's not fixated on money or materialism. I am not interested in what you own but, rather, what's in your heart. Someone who won't disappear when things aren't just perfect would be great since that's real life.
If you are confused about relationships or if you love to play narcissistic games...move on.
If you tend to project your insecurities onto your date...keep going.
No hit and run romances, please!!!
Like Diogenes, I'm still looking for an fairly honest woman...and if she's a beginning level dancer, all the better! Life is too short for conceited people...life is short and fleeting. A wry or wicked sense of humor to cope with life's ups and downs, a great kisser, a life-long learner...such attributes may lead to a blissful relationship.
Astronomy/star-gazing, travel, history, and ALL types of music are a few of my passions. Favorite movies would have to include Pride and Prejudice, The Red Violin, The Libertine (with Johnny Depp), Lovely Bones, and Sherlock Holmes( where Robert Downey's acting is quirky and superb).
I love to travel and have visited 46 countries and every state thus far.
I enjoy all types of music, including country, meditative, electronica, disco, classical, zydeco, oldies, and easy listening. I'm always up for a two-step or a waltz.
Since 1967, Astronomy has also been a passion of mine. Its quite interesting to see various constellations from different latitudes, from other countries, such as Chile or Fiji.
These dating sites can be quite frustrating...it seems people project what they want on the other person...instead of finding that person's uniqueness. I have my faults (don't we all) ...but hopefully I'm a work in progress. Maybe I'll approach perfection in the hereafter.
