Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Tempe, 66 year old

Date a man from United States. I'm a nice guy looking for a nice gal to join me in a lifetime of intellectual, emotional, spiritual and sexual growth. I'm a retired business executive originally from Kansas who came to Arizona in 1969 to complete my Ph.D. in Business at ASU. After graduating in 1973, I returned to Kansas, started a marketing communications company, ran it for 25 years and sold out to a newspaper chain. I retired and knew I had to return to arizona which I did in 2001. I love the outdoors and knew Arizona was where I needed to be.
I live a very healthy lifestyle, love to eat great foods from Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, love to hike, walk, bike, swim and just be outside. I also enjoy the variety of great dining options here in the Valley, most of which offer healthy options. While I enjoy Lon's, The Sanctuary, El Charro's and other fine restaurants, I also like other small, unique places such as Effey's. I especially like places that have live music such as John Henry's and Gainey Ranch. I know there are many others but those two came to mind.
As you can tell from my photos, I have 3 grown and educated daughters of whom I'm extremely proud. Two live in Oklahoma and one in Kansas. I also have 2 wonderful grandkids that are in the photos as well.
Having played college baseball at Kansas University, I still enjoy the excitement of college baseball. I go every year to Omaha for the college World Series, meeting up with my buddies from Lawrence, Kansas who played ball with me. Last year I took my daughters and grandkids to Omaha to share with me the joy I find in this terrific and fun event. Its almost like being in New Orleans for Mardi Gra.
I also have season tickets to ASU baseball and attend as many home games as reasonably possible, and always having my bag of popcorn when I first arrive at the park.
I have many and varied interests from dining out, to movies, music and dancing (very limited capabilities here!!), reading a wide variety of books and magazines from Men's Health to Glamour!! Yes, I love the stories!! I've become well versed in diet, health and general lifestyle issues and enjoy discussing these topics. Since I retired, I now manage my stock portfolio and my investments in oil and gas. Not as much fun recently but still needs attention.
I am educated with 3 degrees. My B.S. is from Kansas in the biological sciences. I have an MBA from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. My Ph.D. is from ASU in marketing, finance and management accounting.
As I mentioned earlier, I love sports and was an All State and All American in football and baseball and was recruited to play at many different universities. I chose Kansas because I was from Lawrence and it was nice to go where I was known, wanted and it was FREE!!! Given all this, I'm not a couch potato or a sports nut. I watch games on TV almost exclusively during the playoffs. March Madness is one of those times.
I hope to find a partner to spend the rest of my life with, someone who enjoys the simple things in life..the sunsets, conversation with a nice glass of wine, listening to music, going out for dinner or fixing dinner together at home, going to movies, concerts, plays and other cultural activities. I hope this person has the time for weekend getaways since there is so much to see in Arizona and nearby states.
We all need someone to know us on an intimate level and I hope to find a mate to also get to know so we can share the rest of our lives together. My name is Gary. Write if you think we might be a match!!
By the way, I've been told I'm intelligent, articulate, attractive, and accomplished. These may be true but most importantly to me is who I am inside..a warm, kind,loving, gentle, considerate, empathetic man holding traditional values. I also view myself as a true romantic who is very sensual and sexual with the right partner..and not a bad kisser, I think!! I look for the same qualities in a partner!! Smile, life is GOOD!!!

Meet people from United States. Work, cares, obligations...never seems to be enough time for yourself let alone to be with someone. I hope that you think it's time for a little adventure in our lives. After all, can't start a new relationship without meeting someone new. I'm a hard working male who doesn't hang out with the boys, enjoys the company of friends, and prefers hitting a few golf balls to hitting a few bars. I can go from an intellectual conversation to putting your blender together in a heart beat. I make a great friend, someone whom you can talk to, and more than once was told by mothers "my daughter should have married you." Come to think of it, some mothers have said "I should have married you." I know that we both have history and prefer to start slow to get to know you. I think that life's journey can be as important as the destination. If that journey includes cooking and playing golf together, that would be great. At the very least, I'll scrub those pots while you tell me about your day.Are you fit, fun, flirty, functional? I know that functional sounds kind of silly but it actually means a lot to me. Do you play? Do you ejoy outdoor and for that matter indoor activities together? Mind if I have my space as well as you yours? I am active at work, home, and in my community. It's important to me that my partner be able to adjust to me as much as I would adjust to her. I enjoy all the usual things and especially the company of a desirable woman, but of course realize that we all define desirability. Care to explore that walk, that certain glint in our eyes?

Meet people from Tempe, United States. I am a hybrid with a wide assortment of interests, particularly in current events, books, new discoveries, travel, exercise, love of outdoors, and cultural events. The most important aspects of my life are my friendships and support network. It is time for me to consider retirement, and I would like to do that with a partner. During my career, I never felt that I had sufficient time to commit to someone else. With retirement that all changes. So as I look at the next stage of life, it's a lot about spending more time with family, friends, volunteering, becoming active in community affairs, and focusing on the people and places that I cherish. As you can see from reading my profile, travel is a major interest. I love exploring new places and cultures.. As well I also enjoy outdoor activities and maintaining a fitness program. A bit of background - I have lived in Dallas, Tulsa, San Diego, San Francisco, Newport, RI, Seattle, Butte, and Tempe. I am truthful and honest, providing you with an accurate representation of my age, height and profile pictures. Please respond in kind with the same level of honesty. Let's get started on the right foot, not with deception.

Date men and women from Tempe, United States. I would be interested in meeting a man who is confident; purposeful and responsible. He would also have a positive attitude, a sense of humor and an interest in his growing edge. These characteristics indicate to me that a man wants to live life to the full and that quality, not simply existence is important. Life is an adventure and there is always something new right around the corner.
This person need not be my clone in interests but some compatibility would be good. He is honest, dresses nicely, understands Mars and Venus and thinks I "walk on water":) :) :)
The substance of the person is what really matters; the packaging is secondary. The spirit/soul of an individual is much more important than the exterior. Wonderful people come in all kinds of wrappings [and sometimes God shows that he has a sense of humor]. If a person has not learned that life lesson by now they are severely limiting their options for happiness.
I am a Leo....warm, sincere, loyal, receptive, responsive and appreciative. To truly be at my best, I need a special someone to join me on my journey.
I'm a very active person involved in tennis and other sports on a regular basis. Dancing is a favorite social activity that keeps my energy up.
There is a quieter side too. I love reading, theater, festivals, crocheting, special events, taking classes, learning new things, and sitting on the patio with a glass of wine enjoying the awesome outdoors God has created in Arizona.
