Date men from United States / Alabama / Piedmont, 69 year old

Date a man from United States. Many years ago, a multi-talented man was referred to as a Jack of all trades. Although I have worked in the same profession for over 32 years, I still think of myself as a Jack of all trades. It would be disingenuous of me to write that I enjoy walks on moonlit beaches or picnics in the rain. However, I do enjoy hiking and barbecues. As for hobbies, I enjoy astronomy, electronics, music, chess, exploring California’s historical sites, and much more. I am not much of a television watcher, though. I consider myself to be nonjudgmental, and I expect the same in a friend. Above all, I value honesty. Although I consider myself to be an honest person, I do not believe in being brutally frank. Since I am not a paragon of virtue, I do not expect the reader of this advertisement to be one, either.I believe that, if I try to describe what I believe to be an ideal match, I might miss the chance of meeting the ideal match. Since everyone is different, I believe that trying to pigeonhole them is a waste of time. I would assume that most adults realize that it is the chemistry thing, which determines the potential success of a relationship.
Personally, I believe that in a relationship, both parties should be able to accommodate the reasonable needs and desires of the other. I also believe that a relationship is a partnership of equals.
If I were to characterize the ideal match, it would be that the two of us share the same values. This does not mean that we would have to be in lockstep with every issue, but that we are at least marching to the same drummer.
