Date women from United States / Arizona / Oro Valley, 59 year old

Date someone special from Oro Valley, United States. I'm down to earth, educated, unpretentious, an adventurer at heart, and a Tucson native. I proactively pursue a stress-free, simplified life style, valuing freedom and independence more than possessions/things. Maintaining a healthy life style has always been a priority, including the inside. I'm not a physical fitness fanatic, nevertheless, I live a very physically active life. Gardening, hiking, cycling, swimming, and horse back riding are some of my daily activities. I take the stairs instead of elevators if possible. I acquired my degree after kids left home and consider myself a life long learner. My glass is more than half full.
I suppose like everyone else on Match it would be nice to find another kindred spirit or a soul mate/life partner, nevertheless my life is good and not in need of rescuing. If you're in need of rescuing, please move on to the next profile. A relationship should compliment one's life, not complicate it or add stress, choosing to be together rather than needing to be together.
I enjoy cultural activities, exploring a new hiking trail, or checking out a new place to dine or taking in an event /or movie. I enjoy dancing but am limited to the Two Step. I appreciate good company and/or sharing an adventure. My idea of a vacation would be volunteering in a foreign country where I've always dreamed of going. I enjoy traveling.
I admire authenticity, someone who is comfortable in their own skin. I do my best to be honest, embracing my ambiguities; its far better to live honestly. Besides, this world would be deadly dull if we were all perfect. A great sense of humor,... who can live without it? I'm a good listener as long as you realize that conversation is a reciprocating activity. Not much of a social butterfly, I prefer small gatherings of close friends. I'm easily entertained with good company.
Friends and relationships worth keeping are rarely instaneous. No exceptions, friends first.

Date a woman from Oro Valley, United States. I have a high level of energy and am always coming up with ideas of fun things to do. Some of them would be a lot more fun if I could share them with a companion! I'm recently retired and looking for a friend/romantic interest who enjoys some of the same things I do. After being in the rat race for 35 years I intend to slow down and enjoy the moment. I am happiest being out of doors and especially enjoy camping and hiking. I love being in/on the water or at the beach. But I also enjoy going to a nice restaurant, an out-of-the-way museum or the theater and I do dress up well. Curling up with a good book is another favorite past time. I also love to sing and had a lead role in a musical last year.
I have traveled a lot (mostly in Europe and the US) and intend to do more in retirement. For a start I have been on 2 trips to Mexico recently. My bucket list is long and includes New Zealand, Patagonia, and South Africa. I really like to explore new places and experience different cultures as up close and personal as I can. I feel fortunate that I have had many opportunities to do this.
It's important to me to find someone who has a high level of intellectual curiosity and who is a good communicator. I am intensely interested in world events and would like to be able to discuss them with a knowledgeable partner. It would be great if he leaned in the same general political direction as I do. Similar life values are also very important.
I'd like to be in a relationship where there is a lot of discussion and sharing of emotions so that there are no hidden agendas. There should be many things we have in common but also some things we enjoy doing on our own. I'd like him to be willing to participate in activities with my friends and relatives and I would do the same. Although I enjoy a good glass of wine or a tasty margarita, I'm not much for the bar scene- I'd prefer a quiet dinner at home. Hopefully I will find someone who has the time and desire to enjoy the many activities that are offered in this area with me.
P.S. A good sense of humor is a must.
