Date single man from California, United States. Former Wall Street Banker (the decent kind, one who financed good companies, and did not take money from widows nor children. I.e., not a stock shuffler), I took a sabbatical year to travel, then moved to California to become a teacher and school finance manager, then father. I became a professional photographer, a lacrosse coach and referee, and learned Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom in depth and helped others to use them. Also coached soccer, baseball, basketball and was a Scout leader when my son was young.
It'd be wonderful to share my life with a woman who is confident and happy, and one with whom I can form a real bond of love, respect, and trust.
I like to travel, but also enjoy home time. Interests are wide, from sailing to most sports, to photography, movies (and films!), cooking and good restaurants, to the SF Symphony, legit theatre, especially Marin Shakespeare's productions. I serve several charitable organizations, including The USS Potomac, Stanford-Camron House and Marin Shakespeare Company.
I love movies of all types except pure action or horror movies. I like all comedy, be it in movies, stand-up, tv specials or series. Oh, yeah!: Long walks on moonlit beaches; cozy fires; candlelit dinners; dark chocolate baths, and many other romantic notions are a part of me, but seem too trite to list, so I won't mention them, O.K.?
I love our English language, and for fun dabble in English, American and Canadian accents (there are lots in each country, eh?). I know grammar good, and fervently hope that you have a sense of humor about this, even in the absence of smilies!
If you like to laugh and make others laugh, can see the ironies in life, but still love it, you may be someone I'd really like to be with. If you're a climber (either social or mountain), a bleeding heart or a cold one, we won't be a match.
Meet people from California, United States. I think that a sense of humor helps keep life in perspective. This lets me not "sweat the small stuff" and saves my energy for the important things in life. These start with my family and include my friends and my animals.
i do not believe that one person "completes" another. each person must function independently to permit a mature, rather than symbiotic, relationship.
p.s. all my photos have been taken in the last 2 years.
Date a man from California, United States. I have been lucky to raise four great children. Much of that time I was a single parent. What fun it was. I am excited about their future. I am excited about my future as well.
This next stage of life is about simplifying, being flexible, and continuing to learn and grow. One of my favorite quotes is by Mark Twain: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by what you didn't do than by what you did do". That is the way I will continue to live.
Staying physically, mentally, and spiritually fit is important to me. Family, including extended family, is extremely important to me. Formal retirement is not for me. Balance is. Work that brings me satisfaction, time with friends, travel, alone time, and giving back are all part of my life.
I would like to meet the love of my life. I am affectionate, caring, romantic, loyal, intelligent, adaptable, and tidy. I have a good sense of humor. I am friendly and honest. Open. I like to try new things, meet new people, and go new places. I care about people. I love large family gatherings.
I love to eat out, go to concerts, plays, and sporting events. I play golf. I plan to see the entire world before I die.
I am non-judgmental. I can be at home almost anywhere.
I am looking for a woman who will really appreciate a guy like me. I am looking for a woman who is affectionate, supportive, honest, loyal, adventuresome, fit, who cares about people, who wants to give back, and who really values family and friends. I am looking for a woman who wants to share all the great things this area, this world, and this stage of life have to offer. I am looking for a woman who wants to be held tightly and kissed passionately now and forever.
Meet someone special from California, United States. I just could be the guy. I've been told that my photos are representative of how I look in person. The photo with the little "sweetie" was taken 6/4/09(the date on the photo is incorrect) when my granddaughter graduated from middle school. The girls didn't look like this when I was 14. Now about me... I'm looking for intimacy, but I realize that intimacy can be accomplished on many levels, not just sexually; I'm hoping to find all aspects. I'm much younger than my years, in both thought and action. I'm very gregarious with a keen,wicked sense of humor. I'm not your goody-two-shoes type of guy, despite a belief in God, I can be a bit irreverent at times.. I treat everyone with the respect they deserve. I avoid those that don't compliment my life. If you want a guy who honestly shares what's on his mind, you've found him. I'm honest, genuine, kind, trustworthy, romantic and monogamous . I've been known to tear up at Hallmark commercials. I play tennis up to 3 times a week. I've rafted class 5 rivers several times. I've been on two fishing trips to Alaska with my son and others...wonderful experiences. Not too long ago, I returned from an Alaskan cruise...spectacular!!! I'd love a Mediterranean cruise(12-14 days) with someone special. I love fresh water activities. I enjoy playing pool, so I bought a pool table. I tend to spoil myself because no one else seems to want to right now. I enjoy music...contemporary, soft rock, jazz, blues, some C and W; and the stuff from the 50's and 60's. Classical and Opera are not high on the list. I can't tolerate rap. Do you enjoy good food and fine wines? I do. I retired 8/1/2008 from a very successful career. Would love to have someone to share my spare time . I own my home. My ex-wife would recommend me to you as a potential love interest. I open doors, pull out chairs and pick up the check on dates. I love kissing a good kisser. As Rhett said to Scarlett: "You should be kissed...and often...and by someone who knows how"...that's me! I'm serious if I have to be, otherwise I'd rather take things lightly. I'm a guy who trys to give back at least what he receives. You'll find that if something is "wrong" I want to talk about it and work it out. If nothing is wrong, be prepared to be adored.I get my greatest pleasure from pleasing my partner. Imagine the refinement and manners of a southern gentleman combined with the passionate masculinity of Zorro(OK, that may be a stretch). I want a monogamous relationship with a woman who enjoys both physical and emotional SPONTANEOUS interaction. I'd like someone to knock my socks off, but I will settle for someone to remove them with a slow hand. Please be able to provide a photo; I think it is a reasonable request, since you've seen what I look like. Chances are very good you won't hear back from me without one. I want to say "I love you" again. The lady who will be my ideal match will have to be active, have a good sense of humor and enjoy all of the aspects of a healthy relationship. By that I mean she must participate in the emotional, psychological and physical interplay between two people who deeply care for each other. That elusive "chemistry"(difficult to define) must exist. If we are a match, you will know my feelings; there will be no ambiguities; I would hope for the same from you. I am striving to find someone to spoil and who will return the favor. Please be one who loves to laugh and can make others laugh. Remember those goofy, wonderful feelings you had when you were in love and out of control? I'd like to be responsible for your having those feelings again. If you would like a wonderfully goofy guy, check me out. I know that I would rather be alone than wish I was. Please be completely honest with me; I will be with you. BTW: If you are "too far left" in your politics, we likely are not a match. If you are interested in getting to know me...please drop me a note. I await your contact.
Date a soulmate from United States. I will be not renewing my membership at the end of July when it expires.
For those of you who are still viewing my website maybe I can be a bit helpful
When I signed up for this I thought I was looking for a relationship with someone after my wife passed away.
I learned a lot about myself during these 3 months. I read all the interesting profiles of many beautiful and wonderful
women. But, then I realized that I was not even in touch with myself so how can I be looking for a relationship with someone else.
I realized that what I needed to do was to enjoy doing the things that i really enjoy and that would be part of my healing process.
Well it worked.
My wife and I always enjoyed Ballroom dancing over the years. We took lessons together and had many years of dancing together.
So after a few months of very emotional grieving I decided that the best thing for me would be to get more involved with my
dancing. So I joined a Dance studio in Thousand Oaks that is connected to the Cancer Wellness Center. The Studio is owned by Maria Durant and it's at www.dance4wellness.net
If you really enjoy dancing and are going thru a divorce, separation, or are widowed I recommend this highly for you.
If it's not you going thru this process you may have a friend, or family member, and I recommend this ...no matter the age.
It's an unbeleivable way to heal and learn some of the great dances while you're at it...The Waltz, The Fox Trot, the Hustle,
West coastSwing, East Coast Swing, Rumba, Salsa, Samba. Just go for it..Maybe I'll see you at the Studio.
I share this with you because it has helped to heal my heart. If you decide to go just tell Maria that Rafael Sent you.
Meet men and women from United States. Hello, just added a few pics taken in July 2012, other pics are no older than 12 months unless otherwise noted.
GOALS on Match: to meet a lady for a committed exclusive partner relationship
PAST: Grew up in NYC, moved to S.F in the late 60's, married but divorced and still friends. Two great adult " kids". Brian finishing his English Literature PH.D thesis and Lisa married - Advertising exec with a two year old son. I worked in Corporate management for many years, launched my own management consulting practice, did a consulting tour with IBM, then retired three years ago. Taught MBA classes but not an egghead.
WHAT I LIKE: First the companionship and affection of a good woman. Nothing beat that. I Love dogs, but none now. Spent most of my adult life as a competitive power-lifter so fitness is still an important priority in my lifestyle. Love music, writing, playing guitar, had bands for many years, and play / enjoy jazz, blues, standards, classic rock, rockabilly, country, surf, and oldies. Lived in Elk Grove / Sacramento since 1990. Good TV, movies, taking walks, bicycling, conversation, day trips, a drive in the country, and just being with a special lady ..that alone irrespective of any activity tops my list.
MY TEMPERAMENT ..sociable, friendly, thinker, honest, intense, mercurial, fun-loving but serious, good listener, fair-minded, dependable, and loyal and would seek similar qualities in a life-partner. Very transparent and friends regard me as a good communicator. I am a one-woman guy seeking an exclusive relationship. Intimacy at all levels counts but friendship is paramount.
PRESENT: Very much enjoy being retired ... not always on the go nor a couch potato. Just getting back into sports cars, staying fit at the gym, and hoping to assemble another band ...really miss music and performing. I do an occasional political blog and tilt toward being a conservative but the orientation of my dream-lady is unimportant ..no litmus test here. Presently looking to buy a sports car as a mishap ( well, a crash ) this past April ended a 50 year romance with motorcycling ....I am fine but my Ninja was toast. I suppose at age 68 it was time to let it go.
FUTURE / LADY I SEEK: Qualities listed above, a woman who is gentle, honest, caring, generous spirit. Has time for and wants a man in her life. I prefer slender ladies who are fit as that has been a personal constant for me through the years. As such I appreciate recent photos and pics ( not just head / portrait shots ) that validate a slender fitness lifestyle. I am open to moving / relocating, would like to get another dog ..had rotties but perhaps just a lab-mix rescue dog. Friendship first, then intimacy. Walks, movies, coffee, good TV, just hanging out and pretty open to activities that would please my partner.
You can ask me anything and always expect an honest and straight-forward answer. No hidden agendas.
Date single man from United States. Have you ever felt totally connected and utterly loved?
Can romance last forever? I think it can!!!
Isn’t attraction incredible?
I still think "class" is important, regardless of one's background. I enjoy the company of a strong, feminine woman who is assertive and flirtatious. I'm a sensitive guy! I'm a gentleman who loves to pamper and spoil his partner. I love a woman who celebrates her beauty and is secure with herself and still enjoys her own personal time and life.
Imagine relaxing into strong arms holding you, feeling safe and appreciated and intimate, knowing it’s totally right. I don’t know if you are the kind of person that can imagine enjoying that kind of connection, with someone special who deeply moves you. If these words have moved you then perhaps you are the fun-loving woman for me and perhaps we are already on the way to being able to meet and feel a real connection.
Does it really have to be this difficult? Come on Ladies, live in the moment, take a chance, you may be very pleasantly surprised. I am emotionally literate and willing to take risks. If this touches something in you, respond with a e-mail.
The tuxedo photo was from a recent cruise I had taken, the girls couldn't keep their hands off me! lol.
PS
If you are thinking about winking, please don't.
Meet people from United States. I am an easy going person that enjoys life to the fullest. Been around the block quite a few times and don't need or want drama. Love to have fun and enjoy the person I am with. A big world out there and it needs to be explored.
Date a man from United States. I grew up in New York City. After college I joined the air force. During the Vietnam conflict, I flew 100 combat missions in a B52. I attained the rank of captain before I left the air force. After the air force, I earned a masters degree from the University of Iowa, but I never used it. I spent my working life successfully designing computer systems for medium size business. Currently I am semi retired.
I am a casual, easy going person who enjoys the simple things in life as well as the arts and theater. I prefer to be outside doing things: gardening, walking (especially in nature), golfing, etc. I guess I am a little �geeky’ because I am very interested in the history of ideas. The only TV I watch on a regular basis is NPR/PBS. I try to live a healthy lifestyle. Eat right and exercise often. Honesty, integrity and kindness are very important to me. They are the criteria I use to judge others and myself.
I have 5 children and 5 grandchildren.
