Date single man from California, United States. Horseman, writer, actor, photographer, active...Former elem. school teacher/SAT-PSAT tutor...Studying for prof. ghost writing certif...Getting Life Coach certif. in 2012 as well. Essentially, I've been, and continue to be, one of the fortunate ones who has been employed in all that I ever wanted to do. ...Avid interest in Yoga, and other forms of exercise (...a B.S. in Phys. Ed. and two teaching certif. in the area), as well as a horse owner and trainer for some 20 yrs.
I'm extremely comfortable in my own skin and, for the most part, proud of the way I conduct my life. Of course, I'm not perfect (yet).
While I may appear very accomplished, I don't consider any of it a big deal, and I don't field compliments very well...compliments being the only thing that makes me uncomfortable in my own skin, (that and red fire ants finding their way up my pants leg). Over the past 20 years I've dated women who have been at least 10 (and as much as 25 years) younger than I am. With all my love and admiration for those ladies in and around my age bracket, you simply won't be able to keep up, and, as a rule, I won't be responding (I hope that doesn't sound too cold blooded.). I'm more than just a bit of an anomaly in the respect that even most men half my age cannot keep up with me physically. However, if, with respect to your age group, you see yourself (and are considered by others) as somewhat of an anomaly as well, than let's talk.
Other than that, I have no specifics, other than a lady who is genuinely very comfortable in her own skin; even so much so that she doesn't really need a man (...Hope that makes sense).

Date someone special from California, United States. II am outgoing and love to have fun - love to travel and family is important. I have two children and four grandchildren who are the love of my life. I am honest and giving and will be the first to step in and help where needed. My match will like to go out to dinner, movies, travel. Do something on the spur of the moment. I love surprises. . I am active in community service and enjoy being on the giving end. I am a good listener as well. I retired after 33 years in my profession. I knew it was time. I want to enjoy the remaining years of whatever life I am given since I know how short that time can be and I would like to do it with someone. I am fairly independent so not looking to be taken care of. Am looking for someone that wants company rather than doing everything alone. .I am an early riser and hit the gym several mornings a week and then off to coffee with my starbuck firends - I look at someone on the inside rather than outside - we all change as we get older.

Date a woman from California, United States. Oh lord, I have no idea how to sing my own praises! I can write up a storm about just about anything else, but about myself?! The brain-to-fingers connection appears to be temporarily off-line! I think my friends would say I'm smart, loving, compassionate, and passionate about the things I care about. I'm a late bloomer heading into an exciting stage of my career, so if you're looking for someone to slow down with, I'm not she! I won't object to cutting back in a few years, and playing more, but life is too exciting to slow way down right now! That said, the richness and joy of an intimate relationship with a best friend could complement the rest beautifully, so if you are also passionate about what you do, maybe we could light a fire between us! And then, well, barbeque something! Or dine out on Thai, Persian, or Japanese food (my favorites) and talk till they roll up the sidewalks. I love antique shows in funky small towns, street fairs and cottages on the beach, interactive museums and intriguing architecture, and travel (near and far) to places that are much different from here. Before I'm done with it all I have at least one book to write and hope to have a few (other people's) babies to cuddle and coo at!This is a grand adventure with the right partner with whom to share it, so if you like getting your toes wet on your beach walks, love to touch, and know how to make a woman feel like a queen without feeling like her slave(!), let your curiosity lead you to the next step . . .
Meet a soulmate from Newhall, United States. I know that everyone says they want someone with no baggage. It's hard to live to this age without packing a few things to take on the trip. Because of that, the most important character traits of anyone I might meet should be loyalty and monogamy. I put high value on honesty and integrity and realize that it is a rare find. They are the most valuable of all possible traits in a man.
I've been widowed for 7 years and don't feel a driving urge to settle down but instead have a driving urge to find someone who wants to have a good time and enjoy life. I have so many interests that I can't list them all here. Almost everything holds some attraction for me. My particular interests are drag racing, NASCAR and classic cars. Please be a car/racing enthusiast since I have been waiting 35 years to be able to enjoy my passion again with someone special. All other interests are negotiable. I enjoy a great baseball game and have become an Angel fan over the years, a Dodger convert. Football season isn't my big interest but I do enjoy it and watch occasionally.
Believe it or not, besides all those "guy" things, I enjoy music, books, crocheting, travel and friends. My church is a lot of my social life and I'm involved with several areas. I play in the hand bell choir and serve as a deacon. Driving vacations are the best and I take one every year. I know, it sounds like a busman's holiday for a messenger but driving relaxes me and clears my mind of all my stresses. Sometimes work is my escape as I drive all over Los Angeles! Alaska is my dream vacation and I'd love to drive it but that may be a little imaginative!
