Date men and women from United States / California / Santa Monica, 70 year old

Date men and women from Santa Monica, United States. The most important thing for you to know about me is that my Christian faith is the most important thing in my life. I attend church every Sunday, lead a weekly mens Bible study and am involved in two ministries - one local and one in Malawi, Africa. I'm seeking a woman who desires to share her Christian faith with me - that's most important to me. Everything else is secondary and we can discover how we match up and if our lifestyles are compatible.
I live a very active lifestyle - I cycle with a local cycling team at least 3-4 days a week and work out at a club 2-3 days. I prefer to eat Vegan (no animal products) but don't let that intimidate you if you are a carnivore!
I am a Viet Nam veteran who received a Purple Heart for wounds received in action and Bronze Star among other awards. I am very proud to have served our country and always make it point to thank those in uniform for doing so also.
My family is very important to me and I visit my son and his family (2 beautiful grand daughters) in the Dallas,TX area as often as I can.
I am an extremely loyal, trustworthy friend, I desire to serve rather than be served and I learned the value of being a servant from one of God's greatest gifts to this earth - my incredible mom!

Date people from Santa Monica, United States. A contractor/writer/photographer, I am the never finished result of growing up all over So. Calif. with the typically dysfunctional middle class family, doing my homework in front of the TV with music playing in the bg., studying TV and motion pictures at UCLA, Surfing, ukulele and Ancient Russian history at the U. of Hawaii, 7 years as a staff writer at CBS then freelancing, 30 years as a hands-on builder/remodeler, a year living in India, a month trekking in Nepal, travels to Japan, Mexico, China, Syria, Egypt, Panama, etc., and a lifetime of learning from women who have been my best friends as well as lovers. I love photography, writing, cooking (and eating, of course), reading, music, plays, biking, scuba diving, travel, gardening (not big on flowers, I'm a fern, fruit, bamboo and greens man myself), people watching, poetry parties, dim sum on Sunday mornings and, of course, all the usual incurably romantic stuff like dinner in front of the fireplace, sunset walks on the beach, dancing close. I'm looking for someone with a sense of humor and adventure, a sense of family (or extended family), someone I could give to without hesitation, someone who would read my work and be honest, someone who would listen to my jokes and lie, someone who turns me on mentally and physically, someone who is looking for a long term sharing relationship, someone who....?

Meet single man from Santa Monica, United States. Me: As a dedicated world traveler, I view myself as a "Citizen of the World." I am deeply interested in exploring other cultures and relish the opportunity to learn about customs, food, music and religions of other societies.
I am a long-time member of one the world's oldest and largest charitable organizations which believes in world peace and
understanding and "walks the walk."
Music has always been a passion to indulge and explore. My primary interests are Scottish, Irish and English folk music mixed in with a heavy dose of Afro, Caribbean, South American, Blues, Classical and Jazz. I love sitting "Behind the Orch" for the LA Phil at Disney Hall.
Food tastes are ecclectic. I eat anything Asian, Indian or Caribbean.
I am a dedicated volunteer running a program for mostly disadvantaged high school students for the last 22 years. The graduates are usually the first child in their family who has gone to college. I have also been a volunteer at a well known Center dealing with abused and neglected children.
My family includes me and my younger sister who works at a
university whose first letter is U.
I have one daughter and four very active teenage grandsons who live on the east coast.
Family is very important to me.
My Perfect Match:
I can't tell you what I want in a woman but when we meet we will both know it.

Date a woman from Santa Monica, United States. Hot and Cold is Cool
Sitting in a hot jacuzzi and plunging into the swimming pool afterwards. In the winter that gets mighty cold – 52 degrees. Brr!!! … but it IS invigorating.
Recent Fun and Adventures
Recent excursions include a trip to the quarry in Riverside and then following the BoulderРІР‚в„ўs journey to LACMA (donРІР‚в„ўt let them hear you call it "a Rock"). I also went to check out the new Expo Line. I will be even happier once it reaches Santa Monica in two years. Then I can just hop on to go to cultural events downtown.
I was daring enough to accept the invitation of a Finnish installation artist at PS.1 in New York. My son, his girlfriend and a stranger and I sat in the sauna, then stepping outside, into the public area, and getting cold water ladled on us. Then we sat outside with just a towel wrapped round us, sipping a glass of wine. You can imagine that this startled quite a few of the unsuspecting museum patrons.
Plato (is supposed to have) said, "Music gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything." When going to Walt Disney Concert Hall, I leave home early so that I donРІР‚в„ўt have to fight the traffic. IРІР‚в„ўd rather sit comfortably in the Omni Hotel, read while sipping a glass of wine, walk over to Walt Disney, have dinner, and will be ready for the pre-concert lecture, and then enjoy the music.
Random Thoughts
Why am I usually the only person walking up the stairs - and getting strange looks as if I had technophobia - while the rest of the world takes escalators and elevators? Be it at Walt Disney Concert Hall, airports, or movie theaters?
My friends tell me that I am attractive, charming, and outgoing, with lots of energy. If I had to go on I would add honest, easy to be with, flexible, and spontaneous. I like to laugh. The proverbial glass is not half full, but usually full!
I am curious and inquisitive - I like to engage in "thinking" activities as well as experience things that I have never done before. I treasure conversation in quiet places - fancy or "hole in the wall" ethnic restaurants are perfect.
I go to exercise classes, and hike early in the morning in Rustic Canyon. I enjoy walking in Palisades Park, but would enjoy it more if I could watch the sunset with a great guy! I love to dance. During the summer, I go on long bike rides in Europe.
It is great fun walking on the beach - splashing in the water - to one of my favorite hangouts, "Back of the Beach" to read the morning papers. I enjoy nature, but am even more drawn to cities with the richness of cultural activities. Exploring neighborhoods by bike or walking is a great afternoon.
My children live a fair distance away - one on the East Coast, the other in the Netherlands, but we see each other quite often. I have a nice circle of friends whose company I treasure.
If you are physically active, enjoy life, are happy, like playing with ideas and otherwise, I would love to meet you and chat over a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, or even better - a margarita and guacamole. By the way, I am fortunate by not being burdened with any past "baggage". I do have luggage, and enjoy using it without too much advance notice.
If this piqued your interest, I would enjoy hearing from you.

Meet someone special from California, United States. The word most used to describe me is delightful. I love being outside, walking, appreciating nature and the night sky...and movies, good conversation, art, museums, good books, good food, nature and all things beautiful. My social life is very low-key by choice. I am eclectic in my interests, what I do and what I have done. I write, poetry mostly.
I'm looking for someone who is independent, funny, smart and easygoing, open minded and curious, creative and fun-loving.

Date men and women from California, United States. I am a happy person by nature, and enjoy many friends I have kept during my life. I love visiting friends in Ensenada, Baja Mexico who live on the beach, and I have thought of moving there some day. My children are all grown and married and successful with their own lives. I am very close with them. I retired from the entertainment business two years ago where I spent 24 years assisting writers, producers and executives in every aspect of the business. I grew up riding Morgan Arabian horses in Griffith Park, and sailing in Newport Beach on the weekends. I have traveled to Europe 10 times visiting friends, and by myself. My favorite town was Prague in the Czech Republic, but I love England too. My future mate should be intelligent, educated, affectionate, successful, and happy with his life.
