Meet a man from California, United States. I am described as a really nice guy, the steady, dependable, level headed type of person. I tend to operate on an emotional level that doesn't have extreme highs or extreme lows. I am not the center of attraction, the comedian, or the brilliant conversationaist however I can hold my own.
I have been thru most everything that life has to throw at me so now I am ready to enjoy. I am looking for someone that can enjoy quiet evenings, short get-aways or longer trips. I enjoy the ocean, mountains, cruising, biking, golf and most every activity. I work hard at staying fit so that I can enjoy this time of life. I clean up very well, am knowledgeable, retired from upper management for a large corporation. I am presently doing some part time work for a financial company plus volunteering by teaching classes and doing private counseling for people who are starting new businesses or tuning up existing companies.
I am looking for someone that makes me smile everytime I see her and she does the same when she sees me. I want someone that I just want to be with no matter what we are doing, I want someone with whom I can share the everyday events . Once we get to that point the passion and mutual sharing will be automatic and the feelings of a solid relationship will be unmistakeable.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I have a great life and the time to enjoy it. I have traveled much of the world, trying to get off the beaten path and away from tourists whenever possible. No more 9-5 grind so I have the freedom to do new and more things. I can dress up but feel more comfortable in jeans - the ballet or a rock concert. I am comfortable in any social situation from a black tie event to camping in the African bush. I certainly don't feel 67 or lead the physical lifestyle of my age. I truly get a high from working out and yet enjoy the Sunday paper in bed. I've been told I'm classy but unassuming and definitely not pretentious. I have mentored several teenagers (but not currently) feeling you have to give back.. Secure in who I am and what I have accomplished and proud of the way I have done it. Enjoy having great friends, my health and financial security.

Trustworthy, ethical, supportive, witty (at least I think so), physically fit, not afraid to say I am sorry or wrong. Love to laugh, been told I am attractive, smart, a good listener and truly appreciate the wonderful life I have had.I do have concern about what is going on in our world. Always willing to try something new. I am monogamous and definitely a romantic. I am not a player. I have taken time to look inside and have a good sense of who I am....and II mostly like what I see knowing there is always room for growth.
What am I looking for in a partner? I have the luxury of being able to make choices with my time and want to be with someone who can not only appreciate that but also has separate life experiences and is looking to explore together. Sense of humor, integrity and stability being important. I feel I'm a very lucky man that has had many wonderful adventures looking for an available/attractive woman with character and a yearning to explore life with in a monogamous relationship .

Meet single man from United States. Marriage is like flies on the screen door. The ones on the outside want in, and the ones on the inside want out. (Mark Twain)
I like to please people, keep things simple, open doors for ladies, and observe the Naval Aviator's prayer at all times:
"Lord, please help me to not screw this up."
I'll think more about answering "Who I'm looking for?", and will update this profile later. I am in no hurry; it is too easy to rush definitions, and miss important qualities that might be new to me.
So far, my best definition is that she will be bright, honest, responsible, and not "Currently Separated". Also, she will be considerate enough to have posted photos, in her effort to not waste other people's time.

You enjoy intimate, witty, conversation. You enjoy a walk on the beach, a romantic dinner, or a lazy morning drinking coffee and reading the paper

Meet a man from United States. I am seeking a partner in the Sonoma County area. I live on the Mendo Coast. My son and his family live in Rincon Valley.My location is just gorgeous, as I overlook the Pacific Ocean on land that has been subdivided into 11/2 acre lots, surrounded by redwoods. The mortgage has been paid off, and I have no debts. I do enjoy landscaping, as you'll also see in the photos. I'm really a very fortunate guy.
But it's a long drive to anywhere, and I feel a bit isolated in the bedroom community. The dating pool to find Ms. Honestw/herself, Good, Kind, Empathetic, and of similar circumstances is a bit limited in this small community. Big order! But you should expect the same of me--Golden Rule. I want to expand the search. I really intend on eventually moving closer to my kids, grandkids. I could go either way on selling this home in uprooting to Sonoma Co. Perhaps you would like to keep this home as our getaway when needing a break from the heat or traffic. That decision would be an opportunity to get to know each other better. I'm open under the right circumstances? I have no map for this topic, but only the direction explained above.
When I retired in the spring of "08, after 38 years of teaching in public school, I literally jumped into it with a leap of faith, skydiving over Hollister three days after my final class. A young lady, breast cancer survivor, sitting next to me on a SWA flight from Burbank, where mom lived, to Oakland suggested I try this, as memories were brought back to her over Monterrey Bay. She was on her way to deliver a motivational speech before the women runners at the S.F. Marathon that year. She motivated me! The experience was--well--experiential, and not quite possible for me to put into words. I had a right of passage at 15, 000 feet as I stepped up to plane's door: "As I step over the threshold and decend, I want to think of myself as just another traveler through life, and open to all possibilities, no longer a teacher, but a learner." I know that pride blocks me from seeing my true nature. Having a partner who calls me on what I don't see in myself, would be a gift that I'd deeply appreciate; how important that is in our lives. I hope I have not missed that opportunity. I'm young in spirit and health. I just finished my daily 10 miler with my bike bud along the beach road below my home.
The photos of my front yard tell you that I'm responsible and enjoy keeping up my home. Also you can see a beach, the longest and nicest beach in Mendo Co. I hope as you are reading this that you might think about going on a walk along this beach and discovering who we are. I do have a spare room downstairs for a guest if and/or when you'd be comfortable with that arrangement. I know--so well!-- that I'm almost three hours from east S.R. No need to think of this as a long distance relationship, which is always difficult. I'm free to travel.
Before mom passed, I was not free to travel. I tried traveling once immdiately after I retired, but worried the entire month across the Himalayan rdge in my cold tent, and about why I wasn't watching her. I was there for her when I got back. Since she's passed in '10, and since I've traveled to Cambodia, China, and Italy for extended bike rides. BTW, that's is a great way to see the world, but walking is fine as well. Even if you don't think I'm your match, feel to free to contact me for further info on traveling. I'm tired of traveling with buddies and groups, and would like to find that one intimate person to be with at home or on the road.
Also, I like all the summer concerts that S. Co. supports. Let's dance!
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope we both find our Match--perhaps together?

Date a soulmate from United States. My ideal match must have a great sense of humor and positive attitude!!!!
I'm from Portland but I have also lived in the desert for a few years. I am not desperate to find the "love of my life"....just interested in finding fun friends here in the desert...if it's more than that...it's called destiny....and I'm not in charge.
My friends are trying to get me to write a book about my life encounters, but I'm afraid my adult children would read it. I've taken my oil painting supplies out of storage, but have yet to follow in Van Gogh's footsteps...which means I have both ears at this juncture. My life career was in the advertising agency business. I'm semi-retired...I think I'd like a part time business so I'm also looking for another small business to start or buy...besides dabbling in real estate. Too much time on my hands. The sunshine here is fabulous, so every day is a gift....especially after you've lived in the rains of the NW.
I have a quick caustic wit and a reasonable command of the English language. I don't suffer fools but I try to see the best in people...I hope. I had to laugh when one lady suggested my profile was more like a resume than a match posting. She's probably right.
I don't know that I have an "ideal" match. Whether it's a "match" is not as important as it is to connect, create and enjoy new friends. I confess...."crusing" thru match searches is pretty entertaining and worth the price of admission.
PS Can anyone tell me why people post photos of their pets, plants and exotic places? I suspect most people on Match.com aren't interested in dating a dog nor an exotic place. But that's just me..... Yes, my puppies are in there...but not alone.
If your profile is DECEIVING IN ANY WAY!!!!! be kind enough not to contact me. Never know...I may ask to see your drivers license. You're welcome to see mine. You know...old photos, fibs about age, weight, etc. Oh...and I just noticed something else. Chances are if there are things posted all over the front of your refrigerator....I'm probably not the guy for you. lol
PS I've cut my subscription to match as of August 27, 20012.

Meet men and women from United States. I've been active here long enough to have drawn some conclusions about Match.com. Actually it is a very interesting site and has excellent potential to accomplish it's stated objectives. Here are some qualities I seek in a mate that I meet here: Someone that understands that this site is little more than a BIG PEOPLES SANDBOX. We do our level best to be witty and funny, yet those are subjective qualities that might not blow everyone's skirt up the same way. During our interactions if anything I say offends you, just remember that it's me trying to be witty and funny according to the established protocols that I have had nothing to do with establishing.
Please don't let anything I say get your panties in a wad because the last thing I want to do is offend.
I want a lady that isn't killing herself to present like an 18 year old tennis player. I'd like them to live in the here and now and not be trying to resurrect what was once and is now gone. If what you're looking for is a 30 to 45 year old boy toy, then say so up front. I'll even donate some old coloring books and comics to keep him busy when he's not entertaining you. Please don't be courting a cardiac event because I won't join you. That's a trip I can put off for many years. Please remember that everyone's preoccupation with Long Term Relationships simply doesn't guarantee one. They come from shared intimacy and life goals that merge two hearts into one single goal. When this happens then you've most likely found your soul mate. We all want that but again, that takes time and can't be demanded as part of ones Match criterions. You'll note that I haven't posted a picture. No, it's not because I don't look fetching in a prison uniform or have the face of a toad. I simply don't want to dig out a picture taken four diets and 15 years ago. I'm a 68 year old Caucasian male that has been found of McDonalds Angus burgers for far to long. I have thinning blond hair, very blue eyes and I'm a tad over 6' tall. I'm retired military and a retired mental health/drug and alcohol counselor. Yes, yes, I know, those two occupations are almost an oxymoron if that term can even be applied to two such incongruous employment paths. I promise to take your communication skills with a grain of salt if you'll do likewise with me. Please, remember this is supposed to be about fun here and the time for intensity comes after you meet. For me, politeness and follow through score extra points. I'm a politically conservative fellow and try to get that out front so if anyone wants to hate me for that they can do it with my blessings, just don't take up my time here telling me all about it. Bare in mind before you begin lecturing me upon being a heartless conservative, I've counseled at risk drug abusing youth and adults, the mentally ill and facilitated a plethora of various self help groups on my own time so give some thought before presuming to correct my thinking.That said, feel free to blink, wink, flirt, e mail or IM me. I am at your disposal.
