Meet a soulmate from Redlands, United States. I have included a few photos showing my move from Huntington Beach to Redlands. I was thinking about going with the traditional shots of straddling a motorcycle or standing next to a large dead fish, but just couldn't do it without laughing. Updated photos taken 5/12/12. I still own my house in the O.C. although I had to rent it due to a job in Redlands.
But all of you I.E. Fishes be warned-- for 2012 I'm using fresh bait, longer hooks and wider nets to land a great catch!
I can offer a life filled with love and laughter. Just need the right woman to share it with. I work too much, but I enjoy the intellectual challenge of my work. I run, lift weights and kayak when not sitting at my computer :)
I enjoy cooking--- but cooking for one is not fun.
By responding to my profile you will begin to meet a guy who will respect you, always be honest with you and sometimes even make you laugh. If you like a strong, smart romantic man--click here.
P.S. I'm allergic to cats. So I'm ready for a wonderful and cat-free relationship!
Female. And not a trans-gender female please. :)
I've noticed that many women on this site state that they do NOT want a couch potato. That's fine. I understand the expression and I'm not a couch potato. I just wonder how that expression got started. I mean no one puts a potato on a couch. Have you ever visited someone's home, tried to sit on their sofa only to be surprised to find a potato there first? Weird saying. However my favorite all time SeniorPeopleMeet woman stated she did not want a COUGH potato. Apparently she doesn't want a potato to get stuck in her throat or she can't spell.
Honesty. Respect. Positive, optimistic personality is huge!

Date single man from Redlands, United States. My favorite things are simple things like listening to my favorite music, writing poetry and cooking for two. I love white sand beaches in the South Pacific and sunsets on any Western Coast. I love to travel. The best hotel's I've personally enjoyed and look forward to returning to are The Royal Hawaiian, The Post Ranch Inn, Hotel du Cap / Eden Roc, and Las Brisas in Acapulco if Mexico ever get's it back together. My favorite Islands are the Fiji Islands especially the Blue Lagoon in the Yasawa's. But the Windward Side of Oahu, Kaneohe will always be home. My favorite cities are Manhattan, Honolulu, Suva, Paris and a few other's during the right season's. My favorite car will always be the Rolls Royce especially the classic ones like the white/tan Silver Wraith II I drove from 1996 - 2006 but it was a difficult to maintain kind of like a high maintenance woman (-; but so worth it. No matter what I will always be an eternal romantic because I love giving flowers and writing romantic poems for my woman as much as I like satisfying her every desire. My favorite way to be romantically is monogamously. Oh and by the way I love to pay as much attention to my mate and not just from the first date but for as long as we create,
What am I looking for in a woman? Well, if you have read this far then you probably know at least a little about what I want. But just in case you are totally stumped let me give you an idea. You must be beautiful inside/out, appreciate humor with and good personality, are a good person and can appreciate a good man and trying to be the best that you can be with what you have to work with. I'm really looking for a best friend as much as I'm looking for the best lover I've ever had to date and in that order. And last but not least I want a woman that can pay as much attention to my needs as I will pay to hers. In other words I want a significant relationship, that, because it starts as friends first has the potential to last forever no matter what happens for better or for worse.
Perhaps the best way to describe myself would be with a poem and one of my favorites from my first book of poetry,
Genius Rain ( A Collection Of Poetic Verse) (c) 2002
If I Had A
If only I had taken heed
When things in life were just a seed
If I knew then what I know now
What difference would it make and how
If I could start all over again
What things in this life would I mend
If all the pain that I have dealt
was never received or ever felt
If only I had stopped and changed
Before my life was rearranged
If I had been more understanding
Tolerant and less demanding

If I were perfect without flaw
And never broke any law
always won and never lost
And paid the price whatever cost
Then Maybe I would never say
What I should have done yesterday
Because few things in this world are sadder
Than Having to say "IF I Had A"
As far as who I am looking for? I will know her when I see her.
I will hear her when she speaks. I will feel her when she's tender
and I will support her when she's weak. Her eyes will be like mine, kind.
And we will both be of like mind. She will tell me that she loves me and
I will show her how I care by always being faithful and always being there...
