Date men and women from United States / California / El Sobrante, 52 year old

Date a soulmate from El Sobrante, United States. I have good job position as warehouse operation manager. i face a lot challenge to oversee daily workload. I want to have a healthy , open mind , gentle and active person that it can share the happiness and challenge.

Meet someone special from El Sobrante, United States. I believe the most important thing in life is to have a sense of humor. Without that you're sunk. I have been told I have missed my calling and should have gone into stand up. More than once, I have also been referred to as a pistol. I suppose what I am trying to say is that I like to laugh, a lot.
I believe one should always be kind and empathetic, to other people and to all living things. Animals have feelings, just as we do, and I feel they should be treated with dignity and kindness. Always, always be grateful for what you have. It's OK to feel sorry for yourself on occasion, most of us have reason to at some point or another, but I try to remember, that I still have it better than 99% of the people in the world. If you live in the United States, you do, too!
I have two children and do not feel comfortable about posting their pictures or talking about them specifically. I would not introduce them to anyone, until I was sure that the relationship was going somewhere.
I believe that men and woman are different creatures, and I am glad for that. I like our differences. So I am hoping to find a man that also recognizes those differences and treats me like a woman, so that I can feel good treating him like a man. I am looking for a person with a glass half full attitude, (negativity is hard for me too take), who likes to give and receive affection, and who is passionate and compassionate. Someone who can laugh at themselves, and me, because I'm sure as heck not perfect. But I try-hard! I have many friends and value my time with them. I do not have a problem with a man who has activities that do not include me. In fact I welcome that.
This is an addition to my profile that I have hesitated to add, because women have to edit themselves in certain areas in order not to give the wrong impression. The physical part of the relationship is as important as any. As the Eagles say, ."...any love without passion, well that ain't no kind of lovin' at all...". That being said, I also believe that you can't have that kind of passion without a truly committed relationship.
I am a very social person and I am extremely grateful to have had a wonderful father, to have a wonderful mother, sisters and friends. I am also very fortunate to be working for a company whose owners I respect and adore. I am passionate about my beliefs, but opened minded about others beliefs. (Most of the time.) "Tell me how you really feel" is something I hear often. I do not have the time, energy or inclination to play games. So what you see is what you get.
In case you do not look to closely at the fine print in these profiles, I guess I should point out that the fact that I exercise 5 times a week, does mean I care about being fit. I am not, however, a woman who is going to not eat chips and dip at a party or the occasional hot dog. I do care about what I put in my body on a day to day basis, and am looking for a man who also takes care of himself.
I do not initiate very many emails. However, if you email me, I will respond even if I don't think we are a good match. It is hard to reach out to someone you don't know.
Good luck to everyone in their search!
