Date men and women from California, United States. Words to describe me : fun-loving, adventurous, active, youthful, genuine, affectionate, intelligent, friendly, hard-working/goal oriented. I am physically fit, enjoy a good work out (without being obsessed), and mostly the bonus which comes afterward (chocolate ice cream or a cold beer!). I can be spontaneous and am always ready for an adventure. I am also down-to-earth enough to appreciate the simple things as well. A quiet, cozy night reading or watching movies in front of the fireplace is one of my favorite ways to relax.
I'm originally from the east coast (NY and Boston) but I have lived in Santa Cruz County for over 30 years. I feel blessed to be able to live in this fabulous area. I love the beaches, the redwoods, the clean air, the mountains, and the great climate.
I have many passions in life. Among them are backpacking in the wilderness of the High Sierras, skiing until my legs burn, exploring new places of this fascinating world, enjoying a big Zin with a great meal, and most importantly, seeing my 2 grown children achieve success and happiness in their academic/career goals and personal relationships.
I recently lost my sweet Golden Retriever - very sad about that. I love dogs, and will probably get another one some day.
I would love to meet a woman who is genuine, warm, smart, and caring. One who is both emotionally and financially secure. Ideally, she is a relaxed, easy-going lady who is an open and honest communicator, laughs easily, likes to travel, and enjoys life. We will be best friends, complement each other, and feel safe just being ourselves. I hope to find that special someone to share my life with.
Cheers!
PS Yes, my photos are current, a commonly asked question, because of the youthful appearance for my age, which, due to search reasons, is actually a brand new 61.
Meet people from California, United States. Yeah I know, dating world! But hey, if your weren't lost you'd never be found.
So I'm here to bare my soul, my innermost vulnerable self, my wounded heart...what a bunch of crap, ok I'll stop. I have no issues, vulnerabilities, fears, or worries. I'm actually very happy and healthy and I'm completely comfortable living in my world of denial.
About me? I came from the East coast, been to most states and travelled the world some. I've been in California since '79, landing in Santa Cruz by chance originally and returned recently. I'm also invested in Tahoe and make regular trips there. I love the contrast of ocean and mountains, warm beach to snowy peaks. I still have many destinations and some roads less traveled in mind once I unite with my other half.
Part of my nature has always been to build and create no surprise I found myself in the construction industry in past years. I'm quite enterprising and since have dabbled in real estate, playing Monopoly I suppose (too bad they changed the game). Other current enterprises include web development. Oh but I've always been a writer at heart and someday will have the time and inspiration to put pen to paper. If I seem to write now all a bit too sincere, know that I also intend to also take my stand up comedian act to amateur night someday. You may find my facets fascinating.
I have a wide range of interests and have always seemed to relate to all sorts of people. I Love animals, (dogs in particular) and every child in the world, especially mine of course. Son 36, Daughters 26 and 27. I am both proud and privileged to have devoted an enormous part of my life to them and they have filled my heart and saved my life. They are all grown now and I am available now for a new chapter. I'm loyal, trustworthy, faithful, dependable, and deeply passionate. I need someone to dream with me, and discover our world together. You would have to be occasionally bold, so don't be afraid to say hello! My life is private from this venue so you would have to reach out to know me more. I've been in this jungle before and I've no intention on staying here any longer than when I meet my one and only.
Every word I write, I write to you alone. Come to me. I'll catch you when you fall.
OK some finer points as to whom I am seeking:
It's OK if you haven't lived a charmed life. Knowledge you learn, wisdom you earn. I'd like a woman who's been around the block, but didn't get lost.
I don't believe these are my "golden years", I haven't even had my "mid-life crisis" yet. So I'd like it if you are young at heart and willing to do some exploring and discovery with me. I'm not looking for someone too much younger than me, people that age seem like kids to me. Its even OK if you're a little older, so long as you don't act it and you worship the temple (that means stay in shape, respect thy self). It's perfectly OK if we don't agree on everything however if you enjoy arguing please look elsewhere.
So much more to say, so much more to me. I'm best in person, one on one. Who am I? I am my heart.
Date people from California, United States. I'm enjoying My life and enjoy here where I live on Monterey Bay on the coast here in California.There is just one thing missing in My life! Could that possibly be You?
I would love to find someone to share life with and enjoy this beautiful area with that God has created for us and all the wonderful things to do and experience here! I love going down to the beach for a walk, like at,a sunset,or daybrake, in the fog, or even in the rain!
I'm a happy, adventurous, easy going, kind, enthusiastic, positive, optimistic, a good listener, I'm fast to start up a conversation, and I'm kind of old fashioned to, yes, I will open you door and hold your chair!
I love this area and enjoy walks, hikes, bike rides, motorcycle rides, drive in a convertible, and going out to eat in one of the amazing Restaurants in this area is always a great thing to do. Carmel, Big Sur, Point Lobos, Pebble Beach,just the coastline, are nice!
I'm more into long weekend getaways than traveling to far away places. like, Lake Tahoe, or going to Lake Shasta to go out on the lake on my Custom Houseboat and explore the lake on a week long Summer vacation or the Winter weekend getaway! I do love going on Cruise Ships though, west coast, down to to Mexico and someday up to Vancouver and Alaska! I hope to one day get a Luxury Moterhome and travel around our Country and visit some of the places I have only seen pictures of!
I enjoy supporting My SFGiants and SF49ers but mostly love auto racing! I'm involved at My local dirt track and especially love Winged Sprint Cars! Typically on Friday Nights I will be found out at the Track helping and enjoying the Races during the local racing season!
I'm real, I don't play games, I speak what's on my mind,what you see is what you get, I say what I mean and I mean what I say. I'm a committed Christian that goes to Church regularly,and I'm also a strong Conservative politically, and on both I'm not afraid to say so! My Match would be a Christian also and hopefully a Conservitive,and also not afraid to say so.

Date single man from United States. It's not easy writing about yourself. Even being totally honest may not be a true indication of how you are toward others but rather how you feel toward yourself. Whatever, its definitely necessary to say what I like to do: If I could I would play golf by day and shoot pool by night which I've done on a few occasions but not any more. Once a week for each is my habit now. I'm a CPA with a modest practice and somehow I keep busy with that along with some property management. And I take care of my widowed mother. I drive her to breakfast on Sundays, we play bridge together now and then, and anything else she needs, but for now I'm lucky that she is doing well on her own for the most part. I get on my bike and pedal around the county to stay in shape, 2-3 times/week, and I lift some weights 2x/ week to stay toned. Despite the routine it feels good to be fit. I love to cook, go to movies, eat out, and travel when I get the chance. I have a great relationship with my daughter who is just starting her career. I'm looking for a woman who likes to do a few of the things I do -- doesn't have to be the lot -- , has a even-keeled personality, has a sense of humor, likes to play, doesn't get dramatic, and doesn't need makeup all the time. I'm frugal but not cheap. I can be unpredictable but I'm always respectful and do my best to be a gentleman. Wouldn't it be fun to have a guy map out a bike ride with a picnic lunch on a beautiful day? Or take you to a Giants game or a play in SF? Or sit near a popcorn bowl playing scrabble? Most of life is simply spent being with another person, and wouldn't be nice to have a guy that can listen without having an opinion all the time? This should be a good time in life to be in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship where there is no urgency to earn or parent or stress about anything. Just have fun. Alas, its not that easy...we don't want to make a mistake (again) or settle, or be heartbroken. But life is short and risk can be fun. Romance is a great joy. If any of this strikes a chord, send an email. Nothing ventured nothing gained, right?

Meet single man from California, United States. This is tough. Never done anything quite like this before.. How do you sell yourself on line? Hummm. Well, I'm outgoing, very much a people person. I think that's what makes the whole enchilada work. Interaction between folks is what most everything revolves around. Family (extremely important to me),friends, people I work with, all are part of the equation. You go around this carousel one time only so it's important to surround yourself with people and other things that enhance the trip. I think too many folks miss the point. Career,money,"things" all are part of it, and make the journey easier, but they are not the most critical. That's people. A confidant, a partner, a lover, someone you can share things with. That's what does it for me. That's where the real beauty lies. Die Hard Romantic??? Maybe, but that's me. But.... (Yeah. I know always a "but") I am the kind of person who can stand on their own, but wants to share. A person who finds beauty in small things that many miss. A person who enjoys a sunset or sunrise, But would rather share it. A person who sees the haf empty glass But prefers to think of it as half full. These and other things all comprise Me , But you cant say it all on a small page. I enjoy restaurants with friends, I love to cook and share many many other things.... I find beauty, contentment and tons of other stuff exciting. It all depends on the company!

I work for a well established Aerospace Co in Palo Alto.(Yes, I'm a commuter !)

Bantering with a checker or clerk at the store, trying to get a smile or a laugh out of em.
I love riding the Harley in these great surrounding mountains and along the coastlines of the Monterey Bay area.
Big Sur for lunch? Alice's for a great hamburger once in awhile... I own a motorcycle, but I'm not a "Biker" It's a great way to get some air, smell the trees, and find out where all those back roads go. It would be a big plus If I could take you along.. How bout a test ride somewhere?
I am passionate about art and artistic/creative people. I favor well thought out designs, and creative use of materials. I try to put a little something special in anything I work on..

Meet single man from California, United States. Moved to the Monterey Bay area 6 years ago after living in So Cal for almost 50 years. I'm fortunate to have experienced a lot of things in my life, both professional and personal, and with very few regrets. Through the years I have been involved in service clubs,community organizations, trade associations, sports, hobby circles, and church. I would describe myself as a very giving and caring person . Certainly playful, industrious, financially okay. Never boring. I am healthy, physically fit and even shower daily. Much inner and personal growth work has been done and I believe I am fairly in touch with myself and those around me.
Life's circumstances leaves me looking again to find that special person to dance, cry, share, explore, support each other, and play toes with. I'm looking to meet someone with similar attributes who enjoys life to the fullest. Liking pop corn would be a plus. Having experience as an alligator wrestler or astronaut would be intriguing, but having certain qualities is a must. Being an intelligent, active, and fun loving person is important. So is a seeker of new experiences and being comfortable with their own appearance...without hours of makeup, etc. I would want a person to be without games or drama and still desires physical intimacy.
I am in no hurry to reach some finish line and have just started to venture out. I do have a desire to start meeting people so if you are interested then let's start some form of communication and meeting.

I am a consistent, honest, loving person who is happiest with someone special in my life. My match is fit with some spirit of adventure and desire for stable home life. A good day for me is a meal, conversation, and walk with that special person, some physical work or exercise, a puzzle or game to challenge, and some quiet time. I still want to see Antarctica, the Andes, Fiji, a tornado, and a rip roaring lightning storm at least once a year. Improving the garden gives me satisfaction. I love to eat out. I still work intermittently but am mostly retired and ready to experience the world. Want to join me?
