Date men and women from United States / California / Foresthill, 40 year old

Date someone special from Foresthill, United States. Hmmmm......Ultimately, I'm looking for compatability and balance, a counterpart. Who doesn't want somebody with all of the standard virtues (honesty, integrity, caring, communication, affection, family values, laughing, and so on?)
My ideal woman is intelligent 1st and foremost, has insane chemistry with me and is attractive physically and under the surface. Somebody that can show me things that I have never seen, or experienced, or thought about. I appreciate being challenged and know what it's like to be around people that bring out the best in you. I'm a sucker for confident women that don't rely on me to be happy, but that find happiness and fulfillment in the fact that I add to, and compliment their life. I would love to meet a positive and energetic woman that can inspire me and has my back, and for that, I would give her everything I have.
I'm a true Gemini... 100 miles an hour for 8 hours straight, then diving to the refuge of the couch with a glass of wine and watching a solid movie. I'm a true fanatic for the outdoors and travel. I bike about 4 times a week, hit the gym, trail run... always staying active. I could list a myriad of outdoor activities that I like to engage in. I do love to fish as well (as you may be able to tell from my pic's) and I'll even put the worm on your hook if you care to join me! I miss the beach, surfing, sun, diving, waves. I'm down for any beach destination without sharks!! (got a good story about that one). Water makes me feel like a kid. A beautiful landscape I have never seen is one of my favorites. I'm a fanatic for travel and love a classic road-trip.
I'm a solo kid, I dig my parents and we are very close... We are honest with each other to the point that it trips people out. We ain't no Leave it to Beaver family. They are in Mexico 4 months out of the year and I take full advantage of that opportunity and head down there for at least 1 week a year to hang with the folks in the sun.
I live in the foothills just outside of Auburn ( I know, I know... it's a treck) but I love it! I dig my house and being out of the Burbs. It's peaceful, relaxing; old school neighbors that are nice and close your garage door when you space out, and leave pies on your doorstep for Christmas.
Plain and simple, looking to meet somebody with no skeletons falling out of the closet once they get comfortable. Engaging, communicative, cultured, a charger. Somebody that's ready to go and be spontaneous as well as ready to chill out, make dinner, drink a couple of beers and talk out on the deck. Like most of us I think, I'm looking for a special and dynamic person that I look forward to coming home and seeing everyday.
I have a dog that's insane, hopefully you have a dog that's equally insane and they can chase balls and light reflections together. Oh, and if you dress your dog and carry him/her in a purse, I'm pretty sure we aren't going to get along! Just sayin'!
