Date men from United States / California / Sebastopol, 63 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm not currently subscribed to Match.com, so I regret that I won't be able to answer any emails, but I decided to leave my profile here just the same.
I've been in and out of relationships in my life but never did find one that I wanted to last forever. I envy people who have that, but I accept that things have just gone the way they have and continue to be as optimistic as a skeptical outcast such as myself can.
I would like to meet an independent kind of woman, someone who would rather wear jeans than a little black dress, someone without a lot of expectations, with some common interests, who doesn't like to depend on a man for much more than companionship and occasional romance. I'm looking more for friendship with someone I like than I am for sex, but magic sometimes happens. Now that's the most romantic thought I've had in years.
I'm a healthy man in pretty good shape who sometimes appears younger than his 63 years. I was born in Boston, left there in 1983, have lived in Sonoma County since then.
I enjoy a lot of music, in fact I'm very much a music fanatic, like to read, and like good movies that I always watch until the credits are over. I also appreciate many TV series that are found on cable stations. Sorry, but I hate reality shows, especially American Idol.
I prefer conversation on a personal level as opposed to a discussion of what I just heard on the news. I'm not much on long conversations or talking on the phone, but I will call 911 in an emergency.
I'm not at all interested in sports and in fact have never seen a football game in my entire life. I have never been to a casino, and never play the lottery. It's not fun for me and the odds are lousy.
I enjoy being home more than going to a lot of events. I do, however, venture outdoors on a daily basis and would be very upset if it was all gone tomorrow. I prefer natural surroundings but enjoy what a city may have to offer. I like to walk and ride a bike for exercise.
I also enjoy travel, but I have trouble with the leaving home part. I do enjoy driving and I love cars. I won't go camping unless I can be home before bedtime.
I love the ocean - doesn't everybody? Think about this, though - people die in the ocean. You'll find me on the sand.
I can be very critical at times, but not usually of people, especially nice people, and never of children. I care very much about animals - especially the cute ones - and if I accidentally run over one it's a traumatic experience for me.
I like to eat natural foods, often vegan, but I'm not really much of a cook. I love seafood, but I haven't had a steak or been to McDonald's in almost forty years. The restaurants I like are few and far between, but you can probably drag me to your favorite if you try, and I may even like it, or at least pretend to. I love to shop at farmer's markets.
I have two wonderful young sons who live with their mother. I see them about once or twice a week.
I don't have 1001 places I want to see or 1001 things I want to do before I die. I would be satisfied to do one thing and do it well.
I don't see the glass as half empty or half full, but as twice as big as it needs to be.
I have never been arrested, been to prison, had a DUI or a restraining order. I have had a few speeding tickets, though. I've never owned a gun. I have no tattoos. I bathe daily. I won't try to borrow money or steal from you. I don't own a Corvette but dreamed about getting one when I was in high school.
If you have a tattoo on your lower back, you're probably too young and foolish for me.
As you might infer from some of my words here, I try to be funny, but in all seriousness, I consider myself a kind and loyal person and I believe in being honest in my communications with others. Most importantly, I believe relationships should be fun, not work.
If you can appreciate my sardonic sense of humor and my limitations, I can always use some coffee.

Date a soulmate from Sebastopol, United States. hope to share adventure, music, warmth, smiles, insights .... and they say you need two hundred characters to fulfill this prompt ... but I'd go with the first forty five I opened with ... need more, so: I saw her today at a reception .... A glass of wine in her hand ... I knew she would meet her connection ... At her feet was her footloose man ... No, you can't always get what you want ... You can't always get what you want ... You can't always get what you want ... And if you try sometime you find ... You get what you need ..
I'm modest (justifiably so), old-fashioned at times, curious, still learning, occasionally getting better at this thing called life, looking forward to pleasure, happiness, and adventure ....
admire in a woman: one who can be playful, has confidence, an acceptance that understanding life can be elusive but well worth the effort, that life follows the refrain: it's the journey not the destination, and since I'm on match.com ... that absurdity seems awfully common in this world, but, thankfully, carries with it the potential of a smile ...
sorry about the lack of a photo, but I have no camera ... but we can set up our first meeting so you can discretely spot me in the distance, walk away if so inclined, and later email me that you forgot that you had to wash your hair .... I'll know the absurdity of life has tapped me on the shoulder once again ... and I'll be smiling ....
