Date men and women from United States / California / Orangevale, 49 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Looks like they will not let me fill in the extra space with LALALALA. :)
So....... I'm looking for a woman who knows what she wants. Who knows who she is. Is not a victim of her past. And is done with all the BS most guys try to feed them. I'm not here to be one of them. I would like to find someone who is capable of loving another as they themselves want to be loved. Where there's trust and loyalty both ways. Integrity is a must.
I am an established business owner. I love the outdoors. I love to fish, camp, play, ski, drive, ride. I have horses and live in the city now. Moved down the hill and do not really care for the city, but right now it's where I need to be. Purchased a home where I can be centrally located and more efficient.
I think that when you find the one you've been searching for? You can feel it. But it has to be mutual and an honest feeling. It can't be, "wow this guy is hot and has his shit together I think he will be good" feeling. I've been used before. I don't need that ever again, and I'm not a fool. Like me, Love me, just don't bs me.
I think I'm capable of making any woman very happy. But I'm not looking for just any woman. I'm looking for you. I've been searching my whole life. Why are you still reading this? When you know you need to be writing. I'm here. Waiting.

Meet single man from California, United States. I come from a great family and all really good people. I have a good amount of really cool interests which fluctuate throughout the year.
Fairly athletic in many sports/activities/interests but golf is a passion. Getting out with friends or even a walk-on at various links come natural. Be great to meet a woman who appreciates the sport and looks forward to vacation around it along the way.
Outside of golfing, staying semi-fit and eating well comes with the package. When not gravitated to the office, I can be found on the trails (hike/bike), coffee at a local place on a Sunday reading the business rag. I do not have much flexibility and time with my professional career but very fortunate for what I have. While joy on children’s faces, laughter, arts, history, animals, a strong sense of core values, sound character and being a pillar to my family are central, my life is full and complete in many ways with one exception and have a little more time to explore a great relationship.
Friendship is central to the core of a relationship so I am fairly direct with an affectionate delivery, well traveled, protective of those close, carry little baggage, have a slight edge, chivalrous and own-up to my mistakes.
Decisive/confident but not arrogant, quick witted with a wonderful spirit; yet not easily defeated, respective of others but far from a push over (so nobody kicks sand in my face at the beach!) Plus I’m a blast and comfortable to be around.
You: Comfortable in your own skin and would be great if you like to play golf (not a total show stopper but happy to give a few pointers).. But wait.. said that in the intro.
I am partial to a self-motivating woman with a witty sarcastic sense of humor which is balanced with a mature sense of responsibility, appreciates a variety of music, travel, likes to dress up and go out for the evening or stay in with a cool flick or cook and spend a quiet evening playing back-gammon with a great bottle of Red with the tunes of Sinatra/Van Morrison: (you name it- it's all about the company right?). Plus, I’ll make you laugh till you say uncle.
Add in an incredible connection/chemistry and play off each others humor - Toss in a little respectful banter; we have a great match!
But this is why you are really great: You’re an independent woman of substance, respectable and admirable; communication and being trustful and trustworthy revolve around who you are as a woman.
I like to meet an amazing woman who enjoys her life and has remained optimistic about the chances of meeting a really cool man. Different interests are fantastic but both bringing something unique to the table is huge!

Date a woman from California, United States. I enjoy camping, being anywhere near water - even own a fishing pole, and have caught a 20 lb salmon on the American River; but I'd rather just be near any kind of water, with the pole leaning up against something comfortable. The ocean heals me, although my last visit was in the fall, and a bit of too foggy to enjoy - slightly inland was absolutely perfect though. I love to cook, to read, to converse about things monumental and trivial. I love to travel - day trips or longer, and enjoy going places I've never been. Life on the back of a motorcycle has been a constant in my life, and while I can live without it, I'd rather not...even if it's only occasionally.
I love animals, and while dogs are forever loving, I have two cats because I can wuzzle them up, throw food and water at them and leave them for a few days without harm. They give me the business when I get home. but like dogs, they are forever faithful.
My ideal match it someone playful with a sense of humor - self depreciating at the same time - I certainly am. Honesty is paramount, and best friends are even better. That being said, some of this is from an old profile, and the one thing that I have been unable to update is my age. I'm not 49 anymore - I'm 53, and proud of it. If that's offensive, I genuinely apologize. The pictures are within the last six months.
I'd rather start as friends and work forward - friends are always good to have, and a great place to start. At this age, we all have baggage, it's how we store it that matters.
I'm not always an 'uptown girl' but there are times that its appealing - I am, however, a girlie girl. I like being feminine, and take pride in how I look. Conversely, I am just as comfortable in shorts, a tank top, and slippers (flip flops), as I am in heels.
Sunsets/sunrises and BBQs are some of my favorite things, as are quiet conversations on the patio with candle light. I love my quiet time, but can kick my heals up with the best of them. I love genuine arts and crafts, love to be crafty myself, although I have gotten away from it for a while.
While I like nice things, I am not materialistic - stuff is still stuff, and unless it's a family heirloom, or the gift of a child, it doesn't mean much at the end of the day.
