Date men and women from United States / California / Redlands, 74 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. I am definately not your usual guy. There is far more below the surface than you could ever imagine, in experience, deep thought, ideals, morals, integrety, tenderness, trustworthiness, thoughtfulness, ambition, goals, work ethics, etc. I have always been unique. I am not a crowd follower, but more of an independant thinker, who can be very tolerant of others, but stedfast in my own beliefs. I value love, and I believe it is the mystery of the ages, and the gift of the gods. I am a very affectionate, touchy feely man who will express his love in words, flowers, dates, caresses, treats, gifts. Cold fish need not apply! I am very open to trying new things, exploring, and spending time one on one or in groups. I am confident of myself and unafraid for the future. I am happy alone, but I feel greater pleasure and happiness is only possible with the sharing and love for another. Are you she? My cup is always full. I have goals, but the pleasures of life today is sufficient for me. I have enjoyed tremendous success in life and experienced the best it has to offer, and it did not spoil me. I have also tasted the bitterness of defeat and failure, from which I grew stronger, and hopefully learned many lessons to make me a better person in the future. I believe we learn more from our failures than from our successes, which are often just plain old luck. I have tasted of true long lasting love and beautiful relationships. They exist and they make life so much more meaningful, and i search for that again, hopefully for the last time. I have enjoyed a 20 year and a ten year relationship, and endured through a 10 year missmatch. I am not perfect, and I do not expect perfection in my mate. I have learned tolerance, patience, and understanding that youth seldom understands. Every turn in life is a wonderful adventure which I look forward to. I do not need world tours, Rolls Royce cars, or material things to be happy. Love is greater and of more value than all of those. My mate does not have to be a carbon copy of me. I believe differences add spice and intrigue and interest.
