Date a soulmate from California, United States. Hi-my name is Ken and I live in beautiful Santa Cruz California walking distance to the boardwalk. I've lived here since 1971 and I love it here. I love all the things that you love, walks on the beach or perhaps walks in our beautiful redwoods. We could pack a picnic and hop into my Alfa Romeo spider and roll up to the wine country for a balloon ride and a little wine tasting. At the end of the day we'll have a mud bath and message and off to our bed and breakfast for a little more romancing and a early turn in time. (please understand I'm a early to bed early to rise kind of guy). In the morning we'll do what ever you want to do. If you could stand to be pampered and loved like never before, please contact me. P.S. I love dogs and cats. (used to raise and train German Shorthair Pointers (one dual champion and two conformation champions). call me. thanks, Ken

Meet a man from California, United States. A pretty woman radiates her beauty from the inside to the out.
It is important to me to have a mentally healthy and usually positive woman on my arm when we meet my/your friends. I like showing up nice.
Politics are fairly important to me. I can't be Carville to Matlin. I can stay off my soap box, but I doubt that someone on the opposite side of the political fence would have much in common with me.
My lady must be a friend, intellectually honest, fun to be with (yes, I realize that is too wide a net) We all carry baggage, some to excess, at this point in life. Mine is fairly manageable since I live alone and don't have kids.
If I meet the right woman, it might be a slow courtship, but one never knows.
I'm aware of my age and my foibles. I'm intelligent, intuitive and can be amusing. I'm also opinionated and my sense of humor has been known to drift to the dark side.I'm a firm believer in having "Big Fun" .
As Shel Silverstein wrote: "Love is a series of darlings and dearies, of honeys & sweeties and sugared entreaties, of wooings and cooings and spoonings and billings, all tempered, of course, by ocassional killings."
When you get this far, you know what I mean.
But a wry smile and a hearty laugh warms my heart.
The NRA hat is a joke, btw. If you did not get it, that's part of the test.

Date someone special from California, United States. My goal is to be off this site. Unlike those who wrote that they've found someone and continue to appear 'on line'. When I meet some one who likes me as well, I won't be cruzing!! This is a tool not an end. I'll use it and move on.
The physical : I dress typically in levis 501s, boots, tee shirt; usually a ball cap. I'm clean and neat, but then so's my house. I enjoy dressing , own more than one suit and several sports coats, I garden. I buy flowers for my self and I deserve them. I always have some in my house and I'd love to be giving them to a significant other. I also have ferns, really big ones.Inside-I'm healthy', physically and emotionally, near sighted, hear with out a hearing aid; my soul-I'm kind, loving, generous, very generous, outgoing-I start conversations with anyone. I'm a passionate, compassionate, loving. I have integrity and high moral values. I love to touch AND be touched. I communicate and listen. I'm liberal and have opinions. Education: BS Colorado State in Chemistry, MS UC Berkeley ('67-'70, the Good Years) Currently building and remodling houses. One of the best builders out there. I collect Bordeaux, have a collection,300 cases, aging faster than I am. I'm an avid reader - books (currently When Corporations Rule the World by David Korten, Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein), magazines. I love music. I've loved classical all my life. Currently I'm listening to pre-60's jazz. I LOVE TO COOK ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE I CARE FOR; AND I'M GOOD!. I like contributing to the world working, watching birds and meeting people. I'm looking for a soul mate. I like some one who clearly takes care of their appearance. I enjoy beauty, and someone who knows their own beauty. It doesn't all have to be physical. Did I mention I'm direct and to the point and sometimes blunt. Honesty and integrity are very high on my list. I have NO tolerance for two-timing and lying in relationships. AND having dug my self that hole - I believe, to the core of my soul, that what REALLY matters is what's between the ears. And: I'm out there. I'm real. I'm alive. I have high energy and live life to the fullest: I work hard, I play hard and I rest hard(figure that one!) I'm not going to do everything or see everything, but what I focus on I'm going for it!
I LOVE STRONG WOMEN!!.

Meet men and women from Santa Cruz, United States. Hi there — thanks for stopping by to get acquainted. I'm Cinnabon because my heart's somewhere in the Spice Islands, — the tropical source of magical flavors and transformative experiences, — and I'm naturally sweet and warm as well as spicy. Overall I'm fulfilled and happy because I love teaching and learning. I believe in working hard and playing harder, which has given me a full life. Perhaps my greatest blessing is my ability to connect with most people about most topics. In the running stream of my life, I've learned to flow around the unexpected boulders so that obstacles never stop me for long. This skill has seen me through my transitions of the recent decade — from happily married to widow, and now to exploring the dating scene. So my life is sweet and full and will be only more sweet and full with a wonderful man to play and share and explore with :-) When I love, I love completely and unconditionally — Believe me, if you can captivate me with your heart, charm me with your wit, and lavish me with focused attention when I ask for it, I'll make your life sweeter for you every day and every night. You'll have my passion and compassion, my acceptance and support. I'm a big believer in the importance of giving men space and freedom to create the lives they most deeply want to create. If you're the right man, our connection will enrich our individuality as well as celebrate our commitment to each other.
Because I love men for their virtues and their flaws, I know how to forgive and hope you can do the same if I mess up. I admire a man who has a sense of purpose in his life, who really thinks about and acts on how he can improve his friendships, his community, and the world. I seek out and respect energetic 'masculine' men attuned to nature and who stay vigorous by outdoor activities. Since I'm financially independent, I appreciate a man with financial skills, a man who knows how to save and spend appropriately, who can hold up his end of an equal financial partnership and maybe eventually join me in supporting environmental, educational or other projects of mutual interest. I'm drawn to a clear and honest communicator with a good sense of humor, someone who is thoughtful and spiritual rather than religious. My practice is to make others happy which leads to my own happiness, and to be grateful; both happiness and gratitude multiply like sunlight reflected by a thousand mirrors. In general, I'd rather be doing than watching, so I prefer exploring wild lands or great cities on foot or even in a 4WD or sports car to watching TV. I love sailing, snorkeling and visiting timeless Pacific islands like Hawaii and Bali, where I can wear garlands around my neck and wiggle my toes in the warm sand. I love all kinds of music, and I'm happiest when the pulse is traveling up and down my body, setting me free. Come dance with me and feel the flow between us . . .
Since I enjoy exotic peoples and cultures and have friends in many corners of the world, I visit tropical Asia twice a year and Europe at least every two years. I'll appreciate your sense of adventure, your curiosity and engagement in the world, and your passion for international travel, intercultural experiences, and the arts. I do have some favorite spectator pastimes: attending cultural events, classical and world music, occasionally watching sports in good company. I also passionately support and enjoy my adopted teenage daughter who adds wonderful color to my life, though all too soon I expect she'll launch into the world of college and work. While I love entertaining friends at home, growing organic veggies in my garden and playing with my cat or your dog, for me nothing beats watching wild animals in a natural setting. Recently, I've trekked distant rainforests to video gibbons and other endangered wildlife. Magical! I know there's someone special who'll be excited to meet me and get acquainted. If my words resonate, please write me to share yourself. — Cinnabon

Date a woman from Santa Cruz, United States. Are you a kind, communicative, honest, affectionate and demonstrative man who fundamentally loves and respects women?
IРІР‚в„ўm a city slicker and a country girl; a homebody and an adventurer; serious and funny; simple and sophisticated; social and enjoy my time alone. IРІР‚в„ўm also warm, affectionate, kindhearted, romantic, unpretentious, spontaneous, artistic, open-minded, generally happy and optimistic, sensitive, enthusiastic, moved by beauty in its many forms, innovative, financially self-sufficient, grateful, fun-loving, and committed to ongoing personal growth and good health.
IРІР‚в„ўm somewhat of a bleeding heart liberal. We probably wouldnРІР‚в„ўt be compatible if you voted for George Bush, watch a ton of TV or are very religious.
Life brings continual changes, of course, but right now this is how I spend much of my time:
Maintain an online business; work at a local jazz club, both for money and volunteering; work with Hospice as a grief support volunteer; visit my sons and grandbaby in southern California; make things; hike with different friends and groups; bicycle (I love multi-day trips); walk dogs at the ASPCA; get together with friends for movies or dinners out; play viola in a chamber music group and orchestra; read; cook; garden; listen to music; travel to Oregon to see family and friends; and remain open to spontaneous opportunities as they arise.
Things I want to do soon:
Get a dog; bicycle in Vietnam, walk the Camino de Santiago in September with my brother who is getting married in Spain, take more road trips and camping trips, spend more time in Yosemite and other amazing places, as well as Manhattan, Paris, London…
IРІР‚в„ўd like to meet someone who yearns for a long-term, monogamous relationship to cherish and honor, and who values emotional and physical intimacy, but am also open to finding male friends and companions. An affectionate, kind, communicative, trustworthy and loving nature is far more important to me than things like height, weight, handsome face, charisma, intellectual prowess. If we can laugh together and just enjoy being together, wow, thatРІР‚в„ўs pretty good, right?
IРІР‚в„ўm looking forward so much to meeting you!

Date someone special from Santa Cruz, United States. what are you graeful for? What makes you laugh? How would your close friends describe you? What things are you passionate about? Do you believe in friendship first? Did you love your mother? Can you be truthful and communicate?

Meet people from Santa Cruz, United States. I am fortunate to have wonderful health, family and friends. I have always been told that I look at least 10 years younger than my years. Those years have given me a maturity and an amount of life experience to know to be kind, giving and loving to those important to you. Above all, I have a lust for learning new things and live every day as fully as possible. Mostly, I wake up happy to wonder at a "brand new day."
I am also honest with my feelings and am an open book with my friends. There is no time in my world for hidden agendas.
My youngest went off to Law School last year and I recently sold a small publishing company that I owned for 20 years. Now I am semi-retired and ready to find a friend/partner to travel with or to just enjoy a walk on the beach with intelligent and thoughtful conversation.

Date men and women from United States. Optimistic, sentimental, and an independent thinker. I listen, observe, and participate. I am drawn to the outdoors and activity. Always have been. I play a fair bit of golf, and in winter I ski when I can get to the mountains. I also like the inside stuff. I'm at home at home, like to curl up with a good book and, when I can't play, watch sports on tv, but I'm not any kind of tv addict. Get out and about as much as possible. Adventurous, I spent ten particularly satisfying years living and working in both Southeast Asia and South
America, highlighted by growth, understanding, patience, humility, and saudade.
I like to laugh; others who laugh easily are a gift to me. "Life is really pretty good if you don't take yourself too seriously."
I am curious to learn and to explore. I am more than comfortable with spontaneity, an expanding of new horizons. I am close to my family, though it's small, and I feel lucky to have lifelong friends who are stalwart and embracing.
I am looking to meet someone who has similar interests, is active, likes to converse, to laugh, to grow, to do. I am interested in someone open and caring. And if you like to golf, that only adds to the mix.

Meet a woman from United States. People say I'm kind, fun, interesting, smart, generous and loyal; quick to smile; that I'm easy to talk to. I'm adventurous, like physical activities, and like to try new things.
In this phase of my life my goals are to learn more, keep my mind active and my body fit and healthy; enjoy friends, family, travel and am looking forward to Spring and bicycling, kayaking, playing tennis. I love the arts, music, parks. I also like boats, having had both a sailboat and a powerboat.
Why am I here? To see if I can find fun, friends, companionship, and maybe a loving relationship, if I'm lucky.
