Date men and women from United States / California / Malibu, 54 year old

Date a soulmate from United States. I've spent a lot of years working long hours at a job I love. I'm at the pinnacle of my career, and I want to pause and smell a rose or 2. Away from the office, I've spent my free time eco- and adventure-traveling. I've scuba-dived pretty much all over the world, and have been fortunate to go places, and do and see things, that most don't. I still want to go back up the Sepik River to the New Guinea highlands in search of that last un-'contacted' tribe; but now it also sounds good to kick back in the Caribbean sun or sip wine on the Amalfi coast. And the luxury version of an African safari now seems preferable to roughing it. I want one very special Woman to share all of the rest of our life.
Me? Children and dogs trust me. I always open doors for women. I seek out waiters to thank them. I have a great sense of humor (sometimes I laugh too loud; often at myself). I'm a Springsteen/Clapton/Eagles kind of guy; I also like jazz, latin music, classical and just about any other music that's not hip-hop. I'm intensely easy going; a cautious thrill-seeker; a cynical romantic; a Green (and highly compassionate) Republican; a big-picture nit-picker (the details are important, but not the small stuff; if you appreciate the distinction, we'll do fine). Some people see a bundle of inconsistency; we tend not to do particularly well. Other people see, um, a complex, nuanced and evolved persona; I would go over the edge of the Earth for them. I'm easy to be with, and fun, or so my friends say. Introspective but not introverted. Highly intuitive. Romantic. And fiercely loyal.
You? Parquet safe, fun, straight white teeth, adventurous, intellectually curious, and animal- and nature-loving.
If you think we might work, pick up the phone when I call....

Meet people from United States. I am an active person, very warm and affectionate, inquisitive, positive, intelligent, and am interested in and caring of others. I am committed to a healthy lifestyle. I love animals (I have a rescued little poodle mix and a cat), and have always loved horses. I have had horses of my own in the past, and currently ride about once a week (which I love!). I care deeply about protecting and preserving the environment and wild animals. I love to dance - all kinds - and enjoy all kinds of physical activities (learning to surf, gardening, walking, hiking, sailing, going to the gym, tennis, swimming, snorkeling) and being in places of great natural beauty. I like trying new things and doing activities even if I'm not good at them (bowling, ice skating). I love music - especially soul R&B, classic rock, some country and old disco. I'm very fortunate to live in a beautiful area where I can regularly walk along the beach. I've done some great traveling in the past (France, England, Italy, Tahiti, Jamaica, Hawaii, etc.) and would love to travel some more with a great guy who I adore.
I am very fortunate to have loving relationships with my family members and to have truly wonderful friends. Although my life is quite full, I would love to meet a kind, interesting, affectionate, intelligent, fun, active, loving man to share my life with.
My ideal match? I don't know what he will look like, but I know he'll be a man with great depth of character -- positive, compassionate, honest, trustworthy, and kind. He'll be interesting, intelligent, energetic, generally fun to be around, unselfish and caring of others -- a man that I am proud to be with. He will be comfortable expressing loving feelings both verbally and physically. He will be responsible and dependable. He needs to be a man that I feel naturally attracted to, love being near, can respect as an equal, and trust as a partner. We would be the best of friends, have some common interests, love doing many things together and yet feel free to also have our own independent interests.
