Date a soulmate from Paradise, United States. I'm seeking a fellow life-voyager who expects both suffering and ease, who wants to join very deeply yet stay individually responsible, a woman who wants rather than needs. I seek a soulful, mature woman who is, like me: deeply spiritual and compassionate, heartful, kindly, charming, sensual, very bright, complex, simple, vivacious, childhood-wounded yet fairly healed, cheerful, talkative, thoughtful, progressive, intellectual, feeling-wise, leaderly, funny, organized, spontaneous, attracted to nature and children, who knows who s/he is and what s/he values.
I want to meet someone who can really see who I am and who can bring her joyful heart-mind into deep resonance with mine. I'm varietal, complex, contradictory, marvelous, simple, a whole bunch of things, and I don't think I've realized how much I deserve, from all sorts of people including myself. Buddhism is helping me re-appreciate my basic goodness. I desire a bright, compassionate woman who wants a partner not as much for support as to move forward into an adventurous voyage that beckons us beyond where either of us already is individually, so we might reach harbors of which neither alone could dream.
Meet a man from Paradise, United States. Home life is nice, but getting out and away is great to do. Spending time on the river or lakes, moderate 4 wheeling going to the higher up parts of CA.
I would like to find someone who enjoys some of the same things I do and that also has interests that I can share and enjoy

Meet someone special from Paradise, United States. O. K., so I don't actually leave my number in phone booths (do they even have those anymore?). But I do feel pretty open to the unexpected and the spontaneous. Generally an active, handy and basically down-to-earth artist type, who's blessed with a sense of curiosity about life. 2nd-gen Italian American descent, sometime 'slumlord', gentleman farmer & beekeeper, plus lotsa interests including travel near & far (Bali!), motorcycles, boating, real estate, home improvement, the arts, dancing, astrology, philosophy, politics, ideas, etc., etc.... and naturally, learning more about whatever you're passionate about. Spirituality is also important to me, but we each have to find our own path. Probably the only things am not so interested in would be rap music, fundamentalist anything ("must love _ _ _"), or right-wing politics (although I might be kinda curious about that one!).
Otherwise, no big "shopping lists" here. "Simpatico" chemistry is important, as is emotional availability for a LTR, but age isn't. Mostly I'm a pushover for a bit of charm or an engaging manner to start. As in life, the rest is an adventure.... let's explore the next chapter.
Date single man from Arizona, United States. I've been a high school special ed teacher, now retired and dedicated to students feeling a little less anxious about their places in the world. I'm passionate about kids' learning, peace in the world, and trying to embrace life on its terms rather than mine. I love to sail my small boat and to flail away at golf balls at a near by course. I've been a Hollywood film/sound editor and have developed an addiction for films of all sorts. A few favorites that I can see again and again are: "Treasure of Sierra Madre", "Midnight Cowboy", "Amadeus", and "Return of Martin Guerre".
And I'm looking for someone with a keen sense of her place in the world and a desire to embrace life and other people-- a kind, passionate, generous spirit. I think that an off beat sense of humor is attractive, along with the where-with-all to be cerebral and analytical at one moment and to enjoy things emotional, physical and athletic the next.
I no longer have a beard.

Meet a soulmate from Arizona, United States. My affectionate cat Mrs. Bender and sweet son Daniel mean a great deal to me, but I want a loving relationship. My values include (1) Self knowledge (2) A close and intimate relationship-that's where you come in (3) Altruism.
After thirty years of teaching elementary and high school I am enjoying retirement. I own a comfortable home in Paradise that I share with my 23 yr. old son who will be sadly moving in December. He works at the Chico airport and attends the local community college. I do volunteer work for local community groups and sometimes political candidates, hoping to make the world a better place in some small way. In my early 20s I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Malaysia, and hope to visit a former student in Kuala Lumpur next year. I am hard-working and believe in commitments.
Outdoor activities are important to me. I try to ride my bike daily. In the summer I enjoy swimming and kayaking at Lake Oroville, a walk around the block, sailing locally and in San Francisco Bay, (usually with fellow Chico Yacht Club members) gardening, picnics, camping in my vintage travel trailer (especially the World Music Festival) and to a lesser degree of enjoyment, yard work. During the colder months I like to x-country ski. Indoor activities include cooking nurturing and tasty meals, baking, reading, woodworking and watching an interesting movie. I keep waiting for a long rainy period to scan and sell part of an inherited vintage post card collection on-line.
I want to have a fulfilling relationship with an open and lovely woman without too much baggage. It seems to me this involves honesty, sensitivity, understanding, acceptance, dealing with criticism, acknowledging imperfections, flexibility, adjusting to change, mutual support, equality, and more. Doing is easier than saying. I don't believe there is a perfect match out there, but someone who is enough alike and shares common interests, is retired and has time to devote to a relationship.

Meet a soulmate from Paradise, United States. Looking for someone that enjoys life and seeks new adventures and experiences. Wants to see the world but could enjoy sitting on the deck and having a cocktail. A person that likes dancing, spicy food, cocktails and thinks that life should be lived one day at a time. Looks at today as new, yesterday, as a smile, and tomorrow as a great expectation!
I'm looking for someone that would be willing to hold my hand while walking across a parking lot and wouldn't be embarrassed if I kissed her cheek in WalMart. She won't receive a Valentine card, but could get a dozen roses anytime, "just because". I seem to gravitate to the water, no matter where I go. Beach, lake front, river walks. I spend a good deal of time on my bass boat and enjoy the fishing, but I am just as happy exploring any water environment. I love international travel, but traveling without sharing the experience is only OK. The sights, the smells, the tastes are all better when shared with someone. I'm pretty "easy going" and adapt to most situations. I enjoy the Giants and the 49'ers and watch (tape) most all of their games, but I'm not a "sports junkie". I would rather be outside than inside, but I do enjoy watching old B/W movies from the 30's and 40's. I have never seen American Idol or Dancing with the Stars,,,,,but I will admit (if you don't repeat it) I do know who Ridge and Brooke are.

I enjoy casual get togethers with good, stimulating conversation. I enjoy light jazz and easy listening music, good movies and good live entertainment. If these qualities sound interesting to you, let's get together...
Meet a man from United States. It has been a very long while since sharing this kind of information with the world at large but I will give it a go. My age has never been a problem for me as I have been active all of my life. I have been told I look like I am in my 50ies. I love to explore many kinds of places and especially the western U.S. I would like to find someone who wants a relationship that is romantic, caring and trusting. A woman who is young at heart and in spirit (as I am) and wants to commit to a life long friend and lover. I want to meet someone who can smile at the little things as well a laugh at themselves and with others. I especially want someone who enjoys being hugged and hugs back.
I enjoy good food, good wine and spending time with good friends.
I am creative, enjoy the arts (many) and sharing the experience of daily life.
I am an optimist by nature.
Date single man from United States. I've lived in California all my life, born and raised in the East Bay, lived in Contra Costa County and then to the Monterey Bay area for many years and now have retired to the Paradise area. I have two children, both grown and on their own. I'm an only child...wasn't my fault...lol. I've never tried to portray myself as anyone other that who I am. I have no hidden agendas, I don't cheat, am not a player and do not do drugs. I'm not a big fan of poetry, know nothing about art and not much of a reader. I love to kiss and am very good at it....lol. I like to treat others as I wish to be treated, have integrity, try to keep a positive attitude and don't like negativity. I feel I'm easy-going and very much down-to-earth. I'm not materialist, but do like nice things (probably a contradiction). I am open to new adventures/experiences. I definitely do not live in the past. I pick up after myself, don't leave dirty dishes in the sink (hopefully there's a dishwasher), I put the cap on the toothpaste, the toilet seat down and know that the toilet paper rolls down from the top. You know, there are times when being an adult is not all it's cracked-up to be.
The woman who is right for me would rather live in the country than the city, would rather go for a hike than to an art exhibit, would rather dress casual in jeans than to dress up, and would rather play outdoors. Two should be compatible and have similar interests. It's not where you live, instead, it's who you're with. I would like to meet a fun, attractive, active, emotionally available woman, who is feminine with a little tomboy thrown in, who knows herself and what she's looking for. Hopefully, she will like to camp/fish/boat. It's not important to me if you're a world traveler or highly educated. What is important is that you're easygoing, down-to-earth, have and values integrity, is honest with herself and others.
So, if any of this sounds like you and you are ready for a committed relationship and are willing to do what it takes to help make it happen, I would like to hear from you. If you do not post a profile and a photo, please do not be offended if I don't reply.
