Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Scottsdale, 60 year old

Date a man from Scottsdale, United States. MOST PEOPLE WOULD SAY I AM RATHER QUIET, NOT SHY, BUT DON'T HAVE A NEED TO DOMINATE A CONVERSATION. I AM A GOOD LISTENER. I AM NOT A COMEDIAN BUT LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF SARCASM AND WIT TO ADD TO A RELATIONSHIP. I AM EASY-GOING AND IT TAKES A LOT TO GET ME UPSET. NOW THAT ALL MY DAUGHTERS ARE ADULTS (TWO MARRIED, AND TWO HOLDING OFF FOR A WHILE I HOPE -WHEW!) AND AFTER MY LATE WIFE'S PASSING A FEW YEARS AGO, I AM READY FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER IN MY LIFE --- WHATEVER THAT HOLDS. WHO KNOWS WHAT IT WILL BE?! THERE IS SO MUCH TO ENJOY ALL AROUND US AND I WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT WITH SOMEONE SPECIAL - WHETHER IT IS JUST A FRIEND OR A ROMANTIC INTEREST. LOOKING FORWARD TO HOLDING HANDS WITH A SPECIAL WOMAN. AS AN EX REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER/BUILDER I AM WORKING TO "REINVENT" MYSELF AFTER THE DOWNTURN AND AM NOW WORKING AS A PARTNER IN A SMALL INVESTMENT FIRM. I LOVE WHAT I DO AND THE CONSTANT CHALLENGE. HAVING SAID THAT, I AM TAKING TIME TO "SMELL THE ROSES" AND ENJOY THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE.
LOOKING FOR SOMEONE THAT IS ABSOLUTELY COMFORTABLE TO BE WITH, NO DRAMA (OK, MAYBE JUST A LITTLE), IS CARING, HUMBLE, AND KIND. PREFER A WOMAN WHO HAS HAD CHILDREN AND KNOWS WHAT THAT IS ALL ABOUT --LOVES THEM AND FAMILY. LOVES BEING A MOM. OH, AND ABSOLUTELY KNOCKS ME OFF MY FEET EVERY TIME I SEE HER! THAT SHOULDN'T BE TOO HARD, SHOULD IT? HA! HA! OH WELL, THEY ASKED ME TO STATE WHAT MY IDEAL MATCH IS. YOU CAN ALWAYS HOPE! THIS IS REALLY THE MOST SELF ABSORBED THING I HAVE EVER DONE! BUT HEY, I DESERVE IT! :)

Meet someone special from Scottsdale, United States. I am not married, disfigured or a fugitive, but my profile is intimately revealing, written very much from my heart. In fact, (with attribution to the film classic, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) most of it is true. I am not willing to share it, identifiable as mine, with colleagues, clients, friends or, especially, any of the dangerous people I sent to prison. For now, I will describe myself as having (between my oh-so-sexy shaved pate and the irresistibly manly cleft in my chin) deep-set and bright brown eyes that will meet and search yours (in a desire to know you), and a genuine, warm smile.
As a California prosecutor and trial lawyer, I was passionate about handling matters that made a difference, and I was exhilarated by courtroom advocacy but, in relationship, I am a lover not a fighter. I am very interested in the "how" of healthy communication, and a student of Marshall Rosenberg's Non-Violent [Compassionate] Communication.
I like to laugh, and I love to make others laugh. My humor usually springs from the moment, and I enjoy seeing improv; I also enjoy stand-up and sketch comedy. Although I don't always make enough time for play, I am athletic, youthful (not to say "immature"), and I love play in many forms: tennis, bike rides, softball, ping-pong, snow and water skiing, frisbee, etc. I also enjoy weekend road trips (e.g., California Coast, Sedona, Prescott, Flagstaff, White Mountains).
I like books, plays, photography, art, and music of almost every kind. I love good movies, especially dramas, romantic and other comedies, new and classic, in the theater and at home. Some classic movie favorites: Adam's Rib, Casablanca, The Big Sleep, Young Frankenstein, Chinatown. Somewhat more recent favorites: Sleepless in Seattle, Frida, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, 40-Year-Old Virgin, Love and Other Drugs.
As a man, I am strong and gentle, a good listener and an open and able communicator, warm and affectionate, romantic and passionate, respectful and courteous, sentimental and kind. I am expressive, in word, hug, kiss and caress, of my appreciation and enjoyment of my loved one. I am also a deeply loving dad of a son, 23, and a daughter, 19, now traveling the world together, visiting a tiny village on the Amazon, and other out-of-the-way places.
[This is my attempt to describe an ideal. I am not nearly perfect, and I don't expect you to be.] The woman I seek: Please be generous in spirit and expressive of your appreciation and enjoyment of your partner. For me, those qualities are the sine qua non of relationship; I can't live without them. You are romantic and passionate, warm and communicative. You are intelligent, kind and courteous. You are quietly confident, relaxed, pretty and trim. You are playful, cheerful, and positive in your outlook. Lighthearted, you smile easily and often, but you also enjoy talking about the issues of the day, spirituality and life.
You enjoy going out, and you enjoy an evening at home. You enjoy movies, plays and music. Welcome plusses: You like to cook with your partner, ability to carry a tune (which I lack) and a willingness to sing in my presence; a willingness to play with me: tennis, golf, ping-pong, frisbee, or your favorite activity. If you are not sports minded, holding hands at the movies counts. So does sharing a DVD and snuggling on the sofa, or reading your book while I read mine (a racy fantasy, I know).
You want to be best friends with your partner. If a conflict arises, you are eager to resolve it, and committed to communicating in a way that is healthy, healing, loving and kind. You join with your partner in remembering always that the relationship is far more important than being right. You share, with the right man, a readiness to commit to building a relationship as best friends, playful lovers, and devoted life partners loving ever more deeply.
If you like what I've written, we'll probably like each other. Please be let me hear from you!

Meet single man from Scottsdale, United States. Looking for love. Chemistry is very important. I enjoy fine dining and movies. I am very spiritually-oriented but extremely non-religious. I am in in good health and would like my partner to be reasonably healthy.

Date men and women from Scottsdale, United States. I am a down to earth guy and have had the pleasure of enjoying a good life. My friends say I am easy going, funny and have a great sense of humor. Hopefully the funny part means I have a good sense of humor and not that I am a bit peculiar.
One of my biggest interests is traveling. I have been fortunate to have seen a large part of the world and I am looking forward to seeing much more. I especially enjoy visiting new places. There is nothing better than rising early and exploring a new city when it is just awakening for the day. I like good food, movies and theatre and to try new things. I like hiking and most sports but the only one I still participate in is golf. I would like to meet someone who is warm, affectionate, romantic, confident, secure and interested in life.
And I would like her to be patient and have a good sense of humor. As an example, if we play golf together she will need patience and a sense of humor (while my game is improving, playing in the Masters is out of the questions) When I cook her a romantic dinner she will need patience and a sense of humor (I like to eat but my cooking has room for improvement). When I get us lost when we are visiting a new city she will need patience and a sense of humor (my itinerary often gets abandoned when something appealing pops up in the path). When I say the wrong thing at the wrong time...well you get the idea.
But all humor aside, I am looking for someone to love and to love me. If any of my interests appeal to you please let me know.

Date a man from Arizona, United States. I’m an old school romantic who is looking to meet a special woman, a woman who if I know I will be seeing her in the evening I’m smiling broadly all day.
Find comfort in literature (still enjoy libraries and browsing used bookstores) and listening to an eclectic selection of music; Acoustic, Rock, Jazz, Country, Show tunes and more. I can listen to most anything except rap and hip hop. Since I’ve been in Phoenix I have seen some interesting show at the Rhythm Room, Compound Grill and the remarkable Musical Instrument Museum.
I enjoy dining out but am equally comfortable in the kitchen. Cooking for one is boring but I can turn out some pretty decent home cooked meals. Believe it or not I actually like doing dishes.
A first date should provide us with a chance to chat and see if we have enough common ground to warrant a second date. Possible future dates could include dinner, theater, exploring the remarkable sunsets that Arizona provides us with. If I could meet a fellow tennis player it would be icing on the dating cake but certainly not a deal breaker.
I'm a fortunate guy who has maintained friendships for going on 40 years, so I guess I'm doing something right. There must be special humor molecule in the non-bottled drinking water that my friends and I grew up drinking in the Bronx because we are all a bunch of would be comedians. I find laughter to be a remarkable tonic and stress reliever.
As the father of a 23 year old daughter I treat women with the dignity and respect that I would expect suitors would treat my child with.
If this makes sense to you drop me a line. By the way my picture was taken last year on a trip to Yankee Stadium.

Meet someone special from Arizona, United States. I'm an active divorced 60 year old male. I enjoy golf and riding motorcycles. I'm an avid NFL fan and enjoy football games in the fall and winter. Skiing a few time of year and traveling is something I enjoy.
I travel frequently to visit customers across the US to assist them in building the brand of their franchise companies through national expansion.
Sitting at home and cooking a good dinner and a movie is a great night in my book.

Date people from Arizona, United States. I enjoy going out to a nice restaurant or a sunset cruise or a walk in the woods (or desert). I like to travel to new places and meet new people. I am easy going, open-minded and a little old fashioned. I like to treat a woman always like a lady. I enjoy laughing and having fun doing almost anything. I can date only one person and abhor game playing. Honesty and integrity are very important to me. I always complete what I promise. I am romantic, affectionate and an excellent listener. I believe in love and desire to cherish someone special. If you believe we may be a pair, please drop me a line.

Meet single man from Arizona, United States. An inquisitive, results-oriented, problem solver at heart, I look for many of the same traits in a woman. Do you play Scrabble? The Word Jumble? Hearts/Bridge? Logic games and puzzles? How about “Where in the World are the Grandcanyontrekker and His Alter Ego, Brighty, the Mule?” If so, you might have fun meeting me. Return my “very selective” wink and I’ll know you are interested in tracking me down. If you're sharp and locate my favorite guide book you should have no trouble at all. As I currently am unable to access your thoughtful Match emails Brighty and I will be rereading our recent booklist while waiting patiently for you to find us in the wilderness. Your success at doing so would demonstrate your resourcefulness and, should we be a match, set us trekking hand-in-hand along some of life's most interesting paths.
I enjoy a meaningful career and the modest creature comforts it has put within my reach. Away from the job, for relaxation and personal growth, this grandcanyontrekker loves to take adventures along a wide variety of life's trails always taking care to enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
As yours is to you, my family is very important to me. Over the years I have maintained a healthy balance between my business and personal lives and have cultivated wonderful relationships with my now adult children with whom I remain very close.
As you may have guessed the real Brighty the Mule, a legendary Park Service icon and more accomplished grandcanyontrekker than I, is a tongue-in-check metaphor for who I am and some of the endearing qualities I possess.
Like this lovable beast of burden I'm sure-footed and dependable enough to trust with your life. I have the strength to carry my gear and the willingness and capacity to help you with yours. I have sparkling blue eyes, a brilliant white smile, and a full “mane” of thick, light brown/gray hair. I set a quick, rhythmic pace and am always aware of the edge but am not afraid to approach it with care. I eat healthy meals, get enough exercise to stay in great shape, and am blessed with boundless energy and endurance. I'm not hard to please and thrive on routine, as well as “spur of the moment” adventures, especially if the surroundings are pleasant and my "daily needs" are met.
Having paid close attention to my handlers during many years of good training I am aware of what you want me to do and no longer need to be asked/told - but I'll appreciate the gesture nonetheless. It takes a lot to upset me and I rarely complain, but I'll dig in my heels for a healthy debate when my well thought out opinions on important matters differ from yours. Still, after some verbal tussling and tugging you'll eventually prevail, for I know who's the boss even if you sometimes let me have my way. Besides, why would I want to stand outside in the rain in a muddy corral when I could be sleeping in a cozy stable on a bed of fresh hay? I respond quickly to encouragement and hard-earned reward, and on the rare occasions when you will have to reclaim my attention and show me the way, a well-placed two-by-four (figuratively speaking), a soothing bath and rubdown, or other suitable inducement usually will do the trick.
If you are comfortable with who you are and the path you are taking, can laugh at yourself and what life throws your way, enjoy your own company but seek the happiness that comes from sharing everyday as well as special experiences with someone you hold dear, then perhaps you should meet the grandcanyontrekker and Brighty, the mule at the fork up ahead. If you’re someone like me who luvs2trekaz too we may take a liking to one another and decide to walk side by side a little further down a common trail, stopping now and then to explore a side canyon, to pitch the tent, to enjoy the stars and other pleasures of the night. With that in mind Brighty and the grandcanyontrekker, will be waiting patiently to hear from you. Will you take that 1st step? You will?

Date men and women from Arizona, United States. Most pictures are from recent trip to Cuba.Enjoy our country. Nothing like the USA.To tell you the truth most of thissurvey is a crock.Sounds like Dr. Phil has had too much input. There is no such thing as a perfect match.People have to learn to give and take.One way streets get you no where. Seems like this survey is getting like that Harmony thing. Do I sound sarcastic. Hey its much easier then it seems.Either you click or you don't. Like the photo meet and then see.

Meet a soulmate from Arizona, United States. I am fun loving, active and intelligent. Family is very important to me. I have three children, one of whom still lives with me half the time. She's 11, and a wonderful kid! I couldn't ask for more! She will be a top priority until I've completed a parent's major task: give your children the skills and confidence so they can be independent.
My two big activities are scuba diving and skiing. I try to dive at least three times a year, usually outside of the US. My favorite sites have been Phuket, Thailand, Aruba and Belize. My 11-year old was certified last year, and we have done a couple of trips to Mexico. She is on the ski team in Flagstaff. I am President of the board of directors and am one of the head gatekeepers, so we are up there whenever there is snow! Keeping in shape for those activities requires that I work out during the off season. I love it, so it's not hard work. I have a black belt in Kung Fu (so does the 11 year old!) so I try to incorporate that into my workouts. I also shoot (handguns) several times a month.
I love to travel! I have been to Europe, Asia, South America and much of North America. I want that to continue.
I'm one of those guys who opens doors, says excuse me, please and thank you, and gets you flowers, just because.
My ideal mate needs to be athletic, fun loving and family oriented. She enjoys travel, and hopefully skiing and scuba. Trips as a family are the best, but the occasional get away for the two of us are essential!
I DO NOT RESPOND TO WINKS.
