Date men and women from United States / California / Albany, 50 year old

Date a soulmate from Albany, United States. I like to simplify things and continue to grow. Live life to the fullest and spend time with family and friends. Helping people is my passion. Looking for a someone who has similar interest a good heart.

Meet people from Albany, United States. I am a fun-loving, playful, active and engaging woman seeking one good man for this radical adventure called life. I am passionate about my work, and my life, family and friends. I am looking for a strong, witty, intelligent and emotionally available partner.
I like to make time for yoga, hikes, field trips to museums, nature and good down time--skiing when the snow is good, or mini-trips to Santa Cruz, San Fran or Pt. Reyes. I love to ride bikes around cities or nature, and to hike--exploring good conversation and taking new ideas for a spin with good friends. Even better--to do these things with you!
I believe in good manners, honor, honesty and loyal friendship. I even signal my left and right turns. I don't do drama, stories, lies, or play around with people, facts, etc. I prefer open, forthright honesty, unless I'm having a bad hair day...then I need a little more diplomacy.
Healthy lifestyle, organic food, relaxation, and positive input is really important to me. I love to be in nature--hiking, treking, backpacking, skiing or day trips. It provides inspiration and rejuvenation for me. I spent 5 years living in Asia, and have travelled in 17 countries. I love to explore new countries and cultures.
I come from "good midwestern dutch/irish stock" and like men with the same sense of values and solid upbringing.
I like men who are taller than 178 cms and who represent their height truthfully on their profile :)). Once I put on the dress shoes, I'm nearly 6'.
I come from a big family and love being with my 17 nieces and nephews. I enjoy hanging out with the younger and older generations to get a good dose of perspective.
It just so happens that I am a really good cook. I like to throw lavish dinner parties and am known to spoil my loved ones.
I have been in two long term relationships, but never got married. I am interested in one quality, long term relationship, and open to marriage. I love kids and am really good with them. I am financially, emotionally and mentally secure and independent.
The man I want to meet is:
Fun-loving, serious about their work, aware of the world and interested in it, and clearly enjoying the fruits of this life on earth. Warm-hearted, passionate, focused and self-disciplined, with plenty of room for adventures, travels, and explorations of this amazing planet.
Open to new experiences, clear about their preferences with people, comfortable expressing themselves.
I am very affectionate and need to be with an affectionate man, who is happy with one woman. Good Kissing is a necessity!
An honest, sincere, well-grounded, well-rounded, funny, delightful being with a good nature, good sense of the world, good sense of humor, and good taste buds. Singing is an unfulfilled passion of mine, and I've often thought starting a band with my s.o. would be fun!
I'm reading this great book called "Undefended Love" which sums up my feelings and goals about relationships--connect to the essential self, be present to our true heart, and then one can be truly available to one's partner.
Let's explore the possibilites!
