Date men and women from United States / California / Torrance, 65 year old

Date a man from Torrance, United States. I have been a member of Match for quite some time but have not been active. Bringing up my daughter has been my focus. As she gets older I have more time. I am a good friend to those I get to know. I am known for my diverse knowledge and interests. I find the unknown fascinating to explore, including getting to know that special lady! But my curiosity also reaches high to the universe above us -the unkown facinates me. I am open minded, but my broad education keeps me grounded. I am a romantic thinker coming from lying back on the lawn during late summer nights growing up with kid friends stargazing and philosophizing! I like breakfast for conversation, bookstores, theater, museums, and all kinds of music. I am open to doing a broad assortment of things- taking 3 day short trips to get away and explore natural and man-made wonders to reading a good novel. Writing, teaching, gardening, stargazing and cooking keep me going day to day. I think I am a good family man, exemplified by my bringing up my beautiful daughter (12 yrs old). I try to have fun with such a great responsibility. I think of myself as genuine-interested and sensitive to those around me, empathizing with a natural ability to provide alternatives with a non-criticizing open-mind. I am told at times that I can be pretty humorous. Friends tell me they feel relaxed with me because of my easy non-judgmental nature. I'm a grateful man growing from life's wonders and pains. I've learned to cherish the simple things in life...give back as you take--everything we do has an affect on something/someone else-reminding myself to go easy with others since we're all forever learning. Life has made me realize most of us have issues, but a gal who is genuine, grounded, and easy-going is easy to like. Honest talk and good communication is necessary. Think and quiet-time is good too. I would like my girlfriend to become my best friend by progressing from a physical and emotional attraction to one of support, deep understanding and love. I want us to laugh a lot about life things instead of being sarcastic or complaining about what's around us. I would like my gal to have an active mind so we can talk about just anything. I am attracted to a slender, proportional and/or petite woman. If you're complex at times, yet enjoy simplicity, serious, yet enjoy acting bozo once in a while, have high expectations, but come down easy on others, then let's get together!

I have a terrific sense of humor and enjoy all types of jokes, in all kinds of situations. I have played most American sports my entire life, but as I've gotten older I just play racquetball twice weekly and I'm a pretty good ping pong player. I have college degrees in Engineering Physics (BS) and an MBA. I retired from the US Air Force in 1991 (20 years service) and worked as a Program Manager for several aerospace companies after that. I spend most of my time keeping informed about current events and political issues of the day. I am looking for a partner with similar (but not necessarily identical) views that would like to share the best that life has to offer.

Date someone special from Torrance, United States. I'm not a paying member so if I wink it's 'cause I haven't joined yet. I may depending on how many winks I get back.
I'm not like any guy you've ever met. Not a sports nut, hardly watch TV and been known to like chick flicks as much as shoot-em-ups. I am both logical and creative, have been an executive chef and winemaker for many years, compose music and published books on wine, articles on food and wine, humorous columns and taught food and wine classes for over 20 years, 10 years at UCLA. It's what I do. It's what I am. If you have food issues, red meat, fowl, vegetables, etc. we are probably not going to make it together.
I am very intelligent and articulate. I was a championship debater in high school and college and taught debate. However, I don’t sweat the small stuff and don’t press on if I’m not getting anywhere as I hate to waste time, either mine or someone else’s. My books are available on Amazon as well as an audio book. My music is available on iTunes, Goodnoise, emusic and Napster.
I am pretty much politically liberal, but do cross swords with my brethren on a lot of "liberal" causes.
I love women and love having someone special in my life. If you like being adored and adorned, being treated as though you are the most beautiful, sensual and wonderful girl on Earth, then you can start here. If you like to be pleased in every way imaginable and a few that you can’t, look no further. I love romance and have never had a one night stand.
I love to laugh and make others laugh. I like to see the crazy side of life, its irony and how people do some of the crazy things they do. Myself included. As a matter of fact, I’m my best subject for humor. That’s why they call it self deprecation.
I’ve been married three times and had a few relationships. You could say I'm either an expert on relationships or clueless and you'd probably be right on both counts. They’re never easy to give up, but there’s only so much I’m willing to put up with before I have to give up and say “I’m worth more.” I'm betting my horror stories are worse than your horror stories. I'm still standing and still looking. I give everything in a relationship and expect the same. If you can’t do that, then it’s your loss.
I don’t do animals. If that's important to you, we're not a match.
Please be secure, available and seriously want to be with someone special. I’ve never been able to fix anyone and am not interested in trying any longer. As far as what I'm looking for...someone who is reliable, stable and hasn't been so scarred by past relationships that she can't tell a good one when it lands on her head, or anywhere else for that matter. My history has been with tall, short, light, dark, large, small and everything in between. Probably not hard to fit in somewhere. I'm sure you were great looking 15 years ago, but I'd like a picture of what you look like now or at least in the last few years and hopefully one without sunglasses. The eyes have it.
I have one son who I’m very close with and a gorgeous granddaughter. I’ve owned my home in Torrance for 40 years, I don’t care what car I drive, like food that is at least well prepared, am reduced to tears when I hear Beethoven’s 9th, love Renoir, Bernini and Shakespeare, live theater and concerts. Music is always in my life. Beatles to Bach, Beethoven to Brubeck. My mother was a professional singer for 40 years so there was a live band practicing in my living room when I came home from school. My father was a chef, his mother was the personal baker to the last king of Italy.
I have a very large circle of friends, incredible energy and usually have two or three projects going at once. However, I like to spend as much time as possible with the one I'm with. After all, how much do we have left?
Have the courtesy to respond if I send you an email. What ever happened to manners?
If you’re still with me then write. Probably 99 out of 100 girls have already turned this page.

Meet single man from Torrance, United States. I am an easy-going personality, clever I think.
She would just be able to be: be now, become
and beyond. Destiny is what you do to make your joy; and you can always change your mind. Move the matter and what matters will move you.

Date a man from United States. When I make decisions, I act immediately on them. I do not like it when people do not have the confidence or courage to act. I was told that I would not graduate from high school. Then I was told that I would not graduate from college. Well I not only graduated from both but I have an MBA. I have passed some of the most difficult tests (the Certified Public Accountant's exam). I also have passed the securities exam, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER exam (their cap letters not mine), Certified Wealth Stratigist. Brag, Brag. Sorry. I want to be around doers not couch potatoes.
