Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Oakland, 64 year old

Date people from Arkansas, United States. My friends describe me as unassuming, easy going, engaging, quick witted, intelligent and inquisitive. They have told me that I am well grounded and very realistic when it comes to solving problems.
As a good listener, you can always count on me to be there for you. I have no reservations about discussing even the most intimate issues and can be trusted to keep a secret.
Joking around comes easily to me and I enjoy making other people laugh. I sometimes enjoy being irreverent, but always in a good natured kind of way. After you get to know me you will notice that I have a sensitive nature and enjoy showing kindness and generosity to others. I'm very sincere and loyal and would expect those same values in a partner.
When it comes to politics and exercise I'm kind of a middle of the roader…nothing too extreme. I belong to a gym and stay healthy. I've never really been interested in athletics or sporting events but will have no problem going to an occasional baseball, basketball or football game. You will never find me glued to the television during baseball or football season.
My interests are varied. I enjoy photography and like taking classes, especially now that I am retired. My astronomical interests sometimes keep me up very late at night. Woodworking is fun and always comes in handy around the house (any excuse to buy a new tool). Museums are always on my agenda. I particularly like going to SF MOMA and spending a few hours taking in the exhibits, relaxing and people watching in the cafe.
Then there's the cooking, cleaning, laundry and ironing me. I'm pretty good at all of the above. I love animals and have a dog.
I like spending time with friends having coffee and conversation. Reading, walking and exploring new areas, cooking, dining out, movies, videos, museums, the zoo, music, astronomy and photography are always part of my repertoire.
I like science fiction and recently read Fahrenheit 451 and many of Michael Crichton's novels.
I enjoy the open spaces and parks we have in our region. I feel lucky to live in this beautiful area. I have a small motorhome and when I get the opportunity I enjoy camping, but will admit that having all the comforts of home makes it a lot more pleasurable, especially in winter.

Meet men and women from Arkansas, United States. Hi -
After reading many of these descriptions, I have come to the conclusion that no one is religious--everyone is spiritual; all women are as comfortable in a black cocktail dress as they are in jeans; they like nights out, but also curled up with their guy watching a movie; like to cook with their man, must like their families, and be a gentleman. I could go on.
So let's see, what's left... I am a man with a New York sense of humor (it's a birthright), like to be playfully sarcastic... to a point; I love going to the theatre, movies, music; like to read, something I neglected for years. I do not sit in front of TVs watching sports, except on occasion; I love cats (I love dogs, too, but they remain children for so long). I am sensual as well as sexual, pretty open to most things; I am not hunting for THE relationship right now, but... if it lands in front of me, I won't push it away. I like being close, and having emotional intimacy. It makes one thrive and can be the base from which all other things work.
If after reading my profile, you would like to get in touch, I will be vanishing from Match around the second week of August. But there's still hope (I say, humbly); I can be reached at ewemigh at sonic dot net.
Oh, I forgot... I am an actor, singer, Vocal Music and Stage Director. It's not just what I do... it's an expression of who I am. Interested? Sounds interesting to me :=)

Date single man from Arkansas, United States. When I read a profile they usually list so many interests to cover all bases. My approach has been to find a single activity and then work and work on it until I can excell. I have very high standards for myself. I'm self employeed and moving toward semi-retired. I use the time to attend Opera performances and also visit my children (one in NY,one in Long Beach, one in Ohio). I play tennis and work with a trainer. Fitness and diet, my family, and Opera are all very important. Looking for a fit woman to spend time with and get to know. Characteristics I look for :Elegance, charm, grace. If you have never attended an Opera performance, I would ask you to be open-minded and try. Then it's fair that I try an interest that you are passionate about

Date someone special from Arkansas, United States. I’m a lifelong entrepreneur who loves the challenge of building things. Last year I started a small premium wine business in Sonoma; and this year my son and I are planning a small vineyard in Apple Hill near Placerville--which means I'll be spending some time up in the Sierra Foothills. Retirement is not in my plans.
Family is important to me. I have two kids, 23 and 24, in college. Helping them succeed is my most important job. Although they’re often away from home, when they’re here, we love to go out to dinner, go to Giants games, go hiking.
I love learning. Every morning I watch Teaching Company DVDs while I exercise. Some recent courses: Understanding the Fundamentals of Music; Mathematics, Philosophy and the Real World; Michelangelo; deToqueville’s Democracy in America. Watching DeToqueville made me want to return to the Capitoline Hill and look out over the Forum--as he did in 1826. Did I mention books? I’m usually reading two or three. The last ones: Travels in Siberia, The Dream Life of Sukhanov, How to Live: A Life of Montaigne. Blew through the Stieg Larsson series. Can’t put down Carl Hiaasen. For me, Powell’s Books in Portland is as good as it gets.
I’m up for Opera, theater, music. Love Ashland, Berkeley Rep, theater in LA. Oh, plus great restaurants. My tastes range from Alinea, the French Laundry, Commis, and Oliveto, to Zachary’s and Barney’s. I like to try new restaurants, but am perfectly happy at home grilling hamburgers and having a great Cabernet.
And outdoors. Never get tired of hiking in Redwood Park. Will drive to see the elephant seals. Trying to improve my sea kayaking skills. Skiing. Want to do some active trips around the world.
I have an ironic sense of humor – try not to take myself too seriously – and can be slightly nerdy around computers.
What’s missing? I think life’s endlessly interesting, weird, crazy, touching, beautiful. However, it’s best experienced with a friend. I’m looking for a best friend to share life and all the great (and not so great) moments that go with it.
What will you be like? You’ll be attractive, outgoing, curious about life, reasonably confident in your approach, independent, with a good sense of humor. You’ll take care of yourself. Like me, you’ll have accomplished a lot, but there will be something missing: You’ll want to share your experiences—your life--with a friend, and you’ll want to create new experiences with that special person. Ready to take life to the next level.

Meet a man from Arkansas, United States. Hello, It has been incredibly hard to write something about myself and the woman I am seeking. I am a sincere, sensitive, strong, open, non dogmatic, sensual, active man. The pictures are all from the last few months. I am seeking a relationship where both people can be real. I am seeking a woman who says what she wants, cares about the effects of her words and actions on others, is still passionate in most phases of her life. She is looking for a man who will look her directly in the eyes, who will share intimacy physically and emotionally. She wants a man who is passionate about what he does, has opinions, ideas and desires.
We are both adults, hopefully have amassed some wisdom in our travels but not lost our hearts or our imaginations. I look in the mirror and mostly see a somewhat objective reflection. I desire a woman who does the same. I desire a partner not afraid to struggle, not ready to give in.
My views on the world are important to me, I am a lifelong worker for social change. I have spent the last 15 years in Eastern Europe the past 8 in Ukraine. I feel satisfied with what I was able to do, learn and teach while I was there. I am ready to be here, but I am acutely aware of my desire for a partner and in fact it is the distances of culture, experience and emotion that hinder the possibilities of intimacy in Ukraine that have solidified my decision to return.
If you are out there, willing to take some time, deal with my idiosyncrasies, I think I will bring something wonderful to your life.

Date people from Oakland, United States. Single guy after many years of marriage. Two kids and two grandkids. I like to play some sports (eg golf) and watch a few on TV. I play the guitar and love to sing 2 or 3 part harmonies. I feel I am a people person rather than a loner and I'm fortunate to have all my family living within the Bay Area.
I work as a consultant on volcanoes and hot springs. I love studying earth science and getting paid to do it.
I hope to find an easy going, attactive woman who wants to share adventures and just hanging out with me. I would look forward also to getting to know each others families. From my experience, I know that I want to find a monogamous relationship in which we both genuinly like each other, can be proud of each others accomplishments, and want to move from dating to something more permanent at whatever pace seems right.

Meet men and women from Oakland, United States. I like old and new things to do. I like new wave music, but I enjoy country western and rock oldies, as well. I am a Macintosh fanatic and a Web publisher. I like the Bay Area, but love going to Vegas every couple of months for the contrast. If you're overly materialistic, you don't want to be with me. Although the material and the spiritual do fit into my plan. I was born in Seattle, but now follow the A's rather than the Mariners, use Apple rather than Microsoft and like blue skies rather than overcast skies. I seem to get along with all sorts of people. I don't like the 'clubby' kind of feeling that puts you and your friends above the rest of society. I like being with people who talk openly, challenging each others ingrained beliefs and finding some common ground. I hope to hear from you soon.I am looking for a slender woman who is an independent thinker and enjoys being online AND in the real world; traveling around the Bay Area and the West; enjoys drinking beer and wine; likes to go to baseball games; and generally enjoys the good life.

Date single man from Oakland, United States. I'm a person who loves to learn new concepts and ideas. I have a strong need to achieve something out of the ordinary. I am very analytical, but I also have very good intuition and instincts – although occasionally I don’t act on those instincts when I should. I value honesty and honor, and I want to see the truth in things. I am drawn to people who are very self-aware and genuine. I feel a real connection to animals and I am very appreciative and respectful of their rightful role in the world. I have a very difficult time tolerating ignorance and fundamentalism. I play guitar, enjoy photography, love to hike and ride my bicycle, and I enjoy physical challenges. I'm inquisitive, playful, honest, creative, kind and thoughtful. I can be a big tease, but in a good natured way. And I love it when someone teases back. I love what I do for a living. I also love exploring new places and was recently in the Caribbean where I went horseback riding, snorkeling, sailing and hiking in the rain forests. One of my best adventures was climbing a mountain in Northern New Mexico (twice). I also love the adventure of getting to know someone. And that's why I'm here.I'd like to meet a woman who knows what's in her heart and isn't afraid to express it. It's not easy seeing the truth in things, much less acting on it. But, I can't imagine a relationship without that. The women I'm most attracted to are intelligent, warm, caring, energetic, generous in spirit and full of humor. Pretentiousness is a complete turn-off, but playfulness is wonderful. Ultimately, I have no checklist. Spending time together is the only way to tell . . .

Meet a soulmate from Oakland, United States. I am an individual who would love to share the sound of the tree falling in the woods with the perfect companion! I am compassionate, caring, and I fall in love easily. I am a committed and open minded companion who is looking for the same from my mate! Is there anyone out there who can fill the void?

Date men and women from United States. I'm hoping to find a man who loves his life, is active physically and stays active in his community (even if he is no longer drawing a salary). I really like talking things over with a partner: my day, my thoughts, my questions but I do not like analyzing my every thought and deed. I like finding balance in life: being by myself and being with another, restful part of the day vs active part of the day, things like that. I think walking and talking is one of the great pleasures of life. Whether it's strolling on the beach, walking in the Oakland Hills and a serious hike in Yosemite, there is nothing like it. When I travel, I like the cities where you can walk everywhere.
I love to read and read alot - it's my favorite winter pasttime at home. I watch baseball in the summer and keep up with the stats as a form of amusement. I have a "family" at the ballgames so it's not a must that my partner like watching baseball!
I love live theatre and have a subscription to Best of Broadway in SF. Also go to Berk Rep and ACT with friends.
I do alot of volunteer work so time is valuable and I love to spend time at home with the animals and in my garden.
I'm very open to see who is open to meeting me.
