Date someone special from Fair Oaks, United States. I believe in giving people (men, too) the info about me to make the decisions they need to make to freely control their own lives. I don't believe in withholding info to control people. So I start my profile with the negatives. If my profile is not for you - you can determine that quickly and I won't waste your time. Do keep in mind that I'm usually a positive and cheerful person.
My picture is two years old. I've a few more wrinkles and grey hair. My age is beginning to show. I need to replace the picture as soon as I get a chance. And I need to have less work and more FUN!!!
Currently, I'm overweight and in DEEP denial, but beginning to lose weight. I'm looking for someone who can accept me as I am AND encourage me to improve in a positive manner. Not many men can do that...
I've recently learned than I'm allergic to dairy products. So I drink almond milk. I miss cheese and ice cream, but these are two of the things that caused me to gain weight in the 1st place. Now I enjoy more fresh foods and vegetables and find they taste better than junk food. Other than being overweight, working full-time, and getting my house cleaned up to rent it, I seem to be what most men say they want - happy, honest, kind, intelligent, affectionate, accepting (and quite discerning), definitely NOT bossy.
Like to travel. Actually lose weight when I travel - maybe because I'm relaxed and enjoying life. I've learned how to relax, let go of worries, and enjoy a vacation.
My interests change from time to time. Currently, I'm interested in brain physiology, ancient history (the older, the better) and nutrition (food as medicine, related to the brain physiology).

My cultural values are mid-western Christian, but my religion is more like Buddhism. I'd love to find someone to do a daily MEDITATION with me.
I LOVE to reach out and meet new people. That's one of my reasons for wanting to life a longer life - to meet more facsinating people. They don't all have to be love interests, but they do have to be open to telling me their story.
All my life MY NUMBER ONE GOAL has been to meet that special someone. What I learned is - that I had to do a lot of work on myself first - before being ready for that special relationship. I've had some wonderful relationships - only married once. So...that special someone should also enjoy meeting and getting to know people - as friends. No, I'm NOT suggesting swapping or sharing partners! I have traditional values and am looking for someone who shares those values.
I've been working in the same business for 30 years. I'm responsible and NOT "flighty". My one child (a son) is grown, has a masters degree, a great job, lovely wife and a delightful 6-year-old daughter. I don't get to see the daughter (my granddaughter) as much as I would like, but when we do get together we enjoy talking, laughing, telling stories, playing and doing a bit of gardening. My son was one of those people who were born wise. He has always given me good advice.
Looking for affectionate, monogamous, accepting man for a close personal relationship - hanging-out together most of the time. I'd prefer that he be above average in intelligence, have good social skills and high ethical standards. The most important of all would be that he can appreciate me, my kindness and playfulness, and enjoy a close lighthearted non-controlling accepting relationship. I'm a good follower. I'd like him to be a good leader.
Is there anyone (?) out there like that?
I hope so... Annie
