Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Paradise Valley, 63 year old

Date a man from Arizona, United States. .I am a happy fellow, which is to say I am grateful, optimistic, curious, have enthusiasm and creativity. Humor is a given. Sorry to sound a little cliche-ish, but it would be a plus if your base line was also at "happy." I can be impulsive, but I have no tattoos and I use no drugs. I do not rob gas stations, if you were wondering... , and ethics rate very high with me. My strongest trait is creativity. My health is perfect, and I like most foods, but gravitate towards things like sushi, wild fish and salads. Wish to become more involved with Phoenix through charitable orgs, etc. I like sports and am involved in running, but unless it is the Olympics, I really don't watch sports. For that matter, I doubt I could name a Sun's player. But I do find life a vast sphere of entertainment, and I have always been excited about it.

So there ya go. I wish a relatioinship with one who has gratitude, is ethical, and is enthusiastic. At the baseline is happiness, self respect and responsibility. Creativity is more than welcomed. I would like you to be balanced with an open mind, and a mindset that life is fun. I will assume you hike a litte, i.e. the Grand Canyon, or whatever, and it would be great if you enjoyed skiing. If you are looking for an abusive relationship, move along to the next guy. Thanks.
