Date men and women from United States / California / Playa del Rey, 56 year old

Date men and women from California, United States. ME: 56 YO Guy Lookin' for lady friends, FWBs, casual STR, or possible LTR.
The one thing that says a lot about who i am is that i know "a LITTLE bit about very FEW things"
i am a pragmatic pragmatist, a skeptic cynical stoic and a solopsist .
i have 2 wonderful children. my daughter (27) just completed her double masters at columbia university and my son (29) is a successful internet entrepreneur.
people will often quote on dating websites: "my friends say i'm"..... well i don't need "my friends" to tell me what they say i am, because i know i am one of the funniest, most loving, and sarcastic people anyone could ever hope to meet. references available if you'd like !!
ive been married more than once. the only one that REALLY mattered was the one that gave me my incredibly wonderful children. and I'm not embellishing. regardless of my "non-believer" religious status, i have been totally blessed with the joy and happiness that my children have brought me (and that i've given them)
i own a successful courier company (33 years...yawn). i basically haven't worked a regular job for that many years.
i now have a fifth wife, ISIS, (pic is attached) and she's perfect for me: she sleeps in a crate at night, she doesn't speak, and she never "hounds" me for anything. she's a basenji (wiki it) and you'll understand a lot about her personality and mine given that i love everything basenji ( she's my second one).
so as to what i do during a typical day: i take isis to the dog park everyday around 10 am, get back , read, do a little paperwork, ride my bike, etc and then i travel. this year ive been to thailand, indonesia, amsterdam, bucharest, etc. the main reason i travel so much is because i have 1.5 million airline miles and i never travel in coach....woo hoo...lucky me !! ( one of the many benefits of owning a courier company )
so i think this is enough background info. i'm sure you can't imagine what you'll find if you dig a little deeper.
YOU: 40ish to 50ish open-minded gal with a nice rack. "Lose your religion" and please be intelligent as I enjoy discussing a wide variety of contemporary topics (whether I know anything about them or not)

Meet someone special from California, United States. I am kind and considerate to others and have a passion for life. I am creative and artistic. I have achieved many of the goals I had set out early in life to do, including having built my dream house from vacant land. I have traveled all around the world and have seen the most romantic, picturesque places that I would love to re-visit with that special person.I would describe myself as sensitive and a good listiner. I relate well to women. I am 100% monogomous when in a relationship and would absolutely never ever cheat. I find it more honest and acceptant to break up and move forward. I do not believe in betraying a trust that had been given to me.
Traveling on exotic vacations is important to me and while I am still searching for that special partner in life, I have spent the last 4 years putting together different travel groups of friends and visited such places as Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Costa Rica, and in the beginning of 2006 visited Kenya and Tanzania on an amazing, "trip of a lifetime"safari.
I obviously have a passion for animals, especially dogs. (I would like someday to devote my life to animal rescue) I wake up every day of my life and realize how fortunate I am to be in my shoes and have so far lived such an incredible life. I feel confident that it will continue that way.However, I still await the day that I can share this life of mine with that special person and in doing so, have it be even better than it already is. I am a hopeless romantic.I am in search of someone honest and down to earth. Someone who can appreciate life for the important things such as health, partnership, trust, and happiness. Someone that can enjoy a romantic dinner at a scenic restaurant, walk on the beach, take a bike ride, or simply cuddle up in front of the TV and watch a tear inducing movie. Someone that shares my passion for animals and travel. Someone who loves to laugh, can take kidding and dish it back. Like many men I am initially a visual creature, however, eventually I can only stay attracted to the heart of that person.

Date men and women from California, United States. I have a great life (I know, everyone says that, right?). However, what is most satisfying is to share it with someone special.
I'm creative and curious, light-hearted and serious, passionate and practical, and I find many things to laugh about during the course of the day.
I am a lover of travel and exploration, learning about other cultures excites me, and my bags are usually packed and ready to go out for an adventure, whether near or far.
I'm curious about people and what makes them tick and am thrilled whenever I can help someone evolve.
If you have an appreciation of art and beauty, the human psyche and philosophy, we will have much to talk about. If you are passionate and principled, communicative and kind, we will have even more. The rest we can figure out along the way....
Life is in the experience, not the description and I am definitely open to experience as much as possible. Maybe we can do it together?

Meet someone special from California, United States. ItРІР‚в„ўs more difficult to write a profile than I thought. Some of you do a great job!
So, I will try. I am generally easy to amuse, and appreciative of my friends. IРІР‚в„ўm interested in meeting someone who has a variety of interests, is kind, affectionate, with integrity, and a sense of humor. IРІР‚в„ўm looking for someone who feels settled in life, and has worked things out for the best or is continuing to do so.
Several years ago, I returned to school for a graduate program in urban planning-which I enjoyed because it covered a wide range of topics ranging from statistics to policy to architecture. Also, itРІР‚в„ўs one of the few programs that mesh well with a humanities B.A. At present, I do a lot of nonprofit and volunteer urban planning work (in addition to work in another area).
My “favorite things” and “for fun” lists show interest in culture and art, and the outdoors. But I also enjoy sharing in friends’ interests and new experiences. For example, reading through my profile, you might not think I’d like to attend a Dodgers game or an Angels game, but I would!
A typical weekend for me could be a movie or dinner with friends on Friday night, regrouping on Saturday morning, going to a farmers market or the gym, or biking or walking on the beach (here in Playa del Rey, we are all within a 10 minute walk to the beach), a visit with friends or family. Relaxed but productive is always a good theme.
Essentially, IРІР‚в„ўm looking for a nice guy to share time with.
P.S. This is a relatively new profile. Will be adding more photos soon! My current profile photo was taken just after my birthday in April 2012. My age as shown is accurate - it's not been optimized for search purposes.
