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

Date single man from California, United States. Eclectic conversation is the best starting point. "Friends first" is an idea that I user to hate but now appreciate. People who think of themselves as my friend describe me as being responsible, intelligent and trustworthy. My daughters would probably add crazy and funny. I'll add inner-directed, ambitious, open-minded and accepting. I am not nearly as vanilla as I look.
I enjoy reading, snow skiing, hiking, archery, biking, camping, racquetball and sailing. Did I mention reading? :) I'd rather invest in knowledge and experiences than spend on things. Warm-blooded pets are good, I am currently owned by 2 cats. I don't watch TV, not because of all the junk, but more because all the creative stuff that would be a distraction from living my own life. Amazing how much second hand exposure I get to the mainstream commercial media anyway. I have some latent artistic/iconoclastic creativity I'm starting to express more in the past few years. I've been building sandcastles (pics here) and I have some furniture designs that I will manifest in wood at some point.
I've decided to leave the world a better place than I found it. While this means that I probably hug more trees than I cut and eat fewer critters than I might and all that, I still cut and eat, but it is with thanks and respect. It also means I fail to live up to my ideals regularly, but that's OK, my trend is in the right direction, just like humanity.
Ready? Feel good and laugh along with me:
I am here to find a healthy, attractive, intelligent, Loving, capable, self-sufficient, feminine woman who is willing to be tenderly cherished and passionately ravished and everything in between as we create a family together.
Lofty stuff, right? Stay with me, there is also lots of good fun that is funny!
I have the honor of being an available parent for an amazing and delightful pair of daughters (10th and 6th grade) almost 50% of their time. To me doing this well means modelling stuff like character, personal capability, vulnerability and resilience, while minimizing consumerism and encouraging a "Growth Mindset" (good book). It has been the most challenging leadership/'management role I've ever stepped into, and it means a whole bunch of other stuff that keeps showing up as the process unfolds. With the right partner I would do it more/again, lets talk. In any case, there is a time for "Tiger Mom" style delayed gratification without resorting to "Tiger Dad" tactics, there is room for ice cream, silly songs and sleepovers, and there is plenty of room for you, and yours.
And... you have room for mystery and magic in your universe. Some people call this spirituality or belief in a higher power or god or strange attractors, but don't get hung up on the vocabulary, just have room for the (as yet?) unexplained to be wonderful, you know?
:) Just to get us started, how about a quid pro quo variation on "20 questions?" Guidelines for the game: We alternate asking questions. For every question that is asked and answered, the asker also has to answer. As an out, if either of us decline to answer, the questioner does not lose a turn but gets to ask a different question. I like this game because the questions asked tell as much as the answers. . . :) Shall we?

Meet someone special from California, United States. I'm very friendly, honest, active, and confident enough to handle anything that comes my way...I try to enjoy my life as much as possible. My only son, who I am extremely proud of, is now 19 and off to college in Santa Cruz... yes, I am completely jealous of his "easy" life! While he will always be my top priority, there is room at the top for you.
I am looking for a woman who is honest, sincere, outgoing and fun, enjoys a backyard BBQ with friends, listening to some local live music, enjoys finding a new restaurant with some unique dish, wants to do some traveling (Spain and Italy are next on my list), and fully appreciates romance and all that comes with it. When I open the car door for you, you appreciate it as the simple sign of respect that I intended.
I enjoy anything outdoors... the beach (including dog beach with my two dogs), playing/watching almost all sports, a night on the town, and getting a little crazy once in a while. I can tell you I know how to treat a lady, and honestly enjoy doing so...there will always be special time set aside for just the two of us.
