Date a man from California, United States. Please, NO WiNKS I'd much rather have a conversation
Looking for a monogamous relationship. Everyone has baggage...I call it my life experiences..the good and bad, that is who/what I am What matters is how it is managed
Semi retired for now. Was with a large computer corporation (acquisitions, IP management; relationship/alliance management) Favorite of 5 concurrent hats were to Sun's research labs and CTO's staff Background as a designer, engineering management, project/program manager and corporate acquisitions/IP manager Loved running 2 skunk works programs at SunLabs
Before all that, worked from childhood through college at mom'n dad's grocery/butcher shop Am a journeyman butcher Even kept my union card Worked through college as a gardener, tire monkey, auto mechanic/ welder
Hobbies: remodeling, photography, building bicycles for donation, gardening and mentoring a couple young boys are some interests/hobbies Rallied my MGB and 240Z (still have the Z) and prep'ed Morgans for car shows So automotive is another hobby New found interest in the arts and regret ignoring that aspect of life Two dear friends retired from SF Ballet and has opened up that area of 'art' to be a new one
Love sports (volleyball, baseball, windsurfing, roller blading, snow skiing and cycling) Mostly as a spectator these days Doc says knees won't hold up Do cycle most every day (about 10-20 miles). Used to ride to Santa Cruz n back on Saturday's when younger and a goal is to cycle to Halfmoon Bay...breakfast...back to San Mateo for coffee by 10am on Saturdays Noodling blading n windsurfing again, along with bunny slopes (no more black diamond), knees too loosey goosey for precision stuff like skiing and blading
Am honest, sincere, a good communicator and an eternal optimist; idealist to the core...though by training (engineering/design/management/etc) look at things that can go wrong, kinda sorta appear to be a pessimist
Live by the golden rules Am constantly told to act my 'age', but then that won't be me, I'll always strive to keep that little boy in me and anyone around or touches me Love kids and any who are young in mind and soul Friendship and love are gifts and the only way to really 'receive it' is to give it freely without a demand in return Am appropriately serious
Family is extremely important, close friends are like family to me
Romance and affection will be a large part of any relationship of mine Making love, not just sex Must like holding hands in public, flirtatious banter and more I do open doors, hold the chair or walk on the street side Want those deep conversations or just to hold/cuddle in silence
Dislike most things that are the latest and greatest(AKA to be part of the herd), or more like I'll go but prefer divey places I'm looking for a serious, long term relationship Love anything to do with nature and/or the out doors Going back to my roots and hope to find time to hike with my camera again Alone during most the last few years of marriage and would love to find someone who would share their time with me It is the person that makes a place even better Prefer understated elegance over flashy, and do love to dress up occasionally
Am a foodie, more down home but good with the Ritz Continual work in progress on my baking (defy's me) Non-smoker and drug free all my life
In trying to list and label the attributes of my match, too confining and really the only thing that matters is how we click communicate Want both physical/mental attraction Desire more tom boy than girly girl Must be left of center, conservative won't work
Pictures are of my two daughters, volleyball leagues, family camping, neighborhood boys on bicycle rides, re-cycling bin trailer the boys made, my bicycles Tough to find decent pic's of myself...normally on the other end of the camera
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. At 64 years young (still a kid at heart), friends have described me as easy on the eyes, great sense of humor, playful, a trustworthy friend and sensitive to peoples thoughts and feelings. I am somewhat new to Match and have met some very nice people, but none that made my heart skip a beat (why does this chemistry thing have to be so difficult?). As the hopeless romantic that I am, I honestly feel there is someone out there for everyone. I consider myself very lucky to have a great job. While there is love in my life (primarily from friends, family and my 2 birds), there are obvious human elements that are lacking. As a touchy feeling find of guy, I miss the touching, sharing special moments and looks, holding hands, kissing, laughing, hugs, snuggling, etc. I believe that a relationship needs to be based on trust and open communication. As someone, who is emotionally and financially stable, and who enjoys extravagant moments as well as the simple things in life, I am more interested in what's inside a person rather than material things.
The following are some of the qualities that are important to me: 1. Good sense of humor 2. Able to communicate your feelings 3. Openness to diffent opionions 4. Emotionally secure about who you are 5. Someone who relishes the extravagant moments in life, but is equally capable of enjoying the simple things that life has to offer. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile and if my honesty strikes a cord, I will look forward to hearing from you.
