Date men and women from United States / California / Davis, 68 year old

Date single man from Davis, United States. For fun
For the past 10-15 years, my family has devoted most of its recreational time to helping build the soccer community in Davis, both youth and adult.
My profession
I’m a professor at UC Davis specializing in public and environmental policy. I love teaching my students to think critically and to influence my research colleagues all over the world
Spirituality and religion.
I’m an Episcopalian. It appeals to me because it is among the least authoritarian and most open to multiple sources of divine guidance than other Christian churches. In addition Episcopalians are among the leaders of civil right for women and gays
Ethnicity.
My father was French and my mother British. They crossed the Atlantic because they saw the U.S as the “land of opportunity.”
Favorite places.
Paris, Mont San Michel, the English countryside, the Scottish Highlands, the Alps and Sierra Nevada, the California and Oregon s, Northern Italy, San Francisco.. Least favorite places: Las Vegas, Los Angeles, anywhere in Texas except Austin.
Music and the arts
My tastes in music are fairly broad, going from Beethoven to Chopin, through Bob Dylan, to Willie Nelson. Confined to purgatory are rappers and punk rockers who violate basics precepts of human dignity. In the arts, I’m a big fan of the Impressionists, an even bigger fan of Rodin, and perfectly willing to send most of modern art (with the exception of Picasso ) to join the rappers in purgatory.
Foods
I enjoy most cuisines, especially French, Italian, Spanish, Thai, Chinese, and Caribbean. I would like to cook together with my partner in a symphony of taste and smell. My menu is rather limited. but I challenge anyone to match my boeuf bourguignon.
Most recent book read
Thomas, The Shack. Probably the most important book I’ve ever read.
ABOUT MY LIFE AND WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR IN A PARTNER
For many of us, these are the Golden Years. The children have left the nest. Retirement gives us the time to do all sorts of interesting things: . Take trips that have been on our agenda for years. Take painting or design courses. Improve the golf swing. Redesign the house interior or garden. Take the time and privacy to be intimate.
Most of these activities are undertaken by individuals or by small family groups. There is little attempt to involve large groups of people in their design and execution. The motivation for most of these projects is a mixture of fun, self-improvement, and enlightenment. I would urge my partner— as well as other retirees--to consider engaging themselves in a variety of activities, some of them purely self-improvement, some to benefit small groups, others to benefit fairly large segments of the community.
For the past 20-30 years, my life has been dominated by soccer and by my profession. Knee injuries have made it impossible to play or to ref, . My declining participation in my profession is going at about the right speed. The activity most likely to increase in importance is my participation in Cursillo, a retreat organization combining Catholic, Protestant, and Evangelical principles. It brings passion to my life.
What sort of relationship am I looking for with my partner? First of all, the relationship must be g rounded in the fundamental values of respect, trust, dignity, equality, and compassion. Second, we should start with some common interests, and then encourage these to grow over time. But partners also need to develop “their own space,” consisting of relationships and activities quite apart from their spouse. Otherwise, the relationship is likely to become stifling rather than nourishing. Third, in my case at least, a long-term relationship must have a strong component of affection, intimacy, and tactile support. These are constant reminders that “we’re special.” Finally, all this must be liberally doused with humor
In any human relationship the essentials are humor, respect, equality, empathy, and trustwo

Date men and women from Davis, United States. Hi - I'm a healthy, active and happy 68-year old lady looking for a gentleman with whom to share like or similar interests. I love the outdoors, whether it be walking, hiking, enjoying a bike ride or having a picnic. I work full time at a job I truly like and have no plans of retiring any time soon. Work is what I do, not who I am. I like to travel - to an extent. Two-week vacations are great - weekend trips are super and I love day trips - always looking for different experiences. I enjoy the mountains and ocean equally. Quiet time at home periodically is a must. Hopefully a romance and permanent relationship will transpire. My family, both immediate and extended, is really important to me and I see them as often as I can. I'm financially responsible for myself and have been for many years.
