Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Scottsdale, 69 year old

Date men and women from United States. Well, this is undoubtedly the most difficult part but, here goes. I think I am witty, charming at times, sometimes the center of attention and sometimes I am not nor do I wish to be. I like telling amusing stories or telling jokes or maybe talk about something that happened to me at work or at home during the day. (No scratch that. Nothing that important ever happens at home.) And some of those amusing stories might just be about the adventures of internet dating? Perhaps you can share some of those stories with me about your shall we say, more "interesting" dates. LOL!
I am an excellent conversationalist and I love to talk more than most men and get into heavy discussions about most subjects and even enjoy shopping more than most men do. Metrosexual? Well perhaps so.
I am a news junkie and I like to keep up to date about current events. The television is always on much the same as radios once were in many homes but, I am waiting for a breaking news story and I am definitely not watching reality television or The Simpsons! LOL! Oh yea, and I will be watching the NFL on Monday nights and on some Sundays as well. I am a die hard Pittsburgh Steeler fan.
Seriously, at this juncture in my life it is my primary objective to find a companion ...a woman who is honest, intelligent, interesting, able to engage in conversations about a variiety of topics and maybe even politically savvy as well, which is not an expectation but, it would be nice. I am looking for an attractive (to me) woman close (the closer the better unless you are very mature) to my age. Yes...I am superficial like most men. Oh and the more curves the better. In fact, the prettier you are, the more likely I would be willing to jump up and down on Oprah's couch for you he said amusingly. But do not get me wrong. I am equally attracted to women with brains.
But falling in love again would be very nice too. I am not ruling that out. On a more philosophical note, truly loving another means letting go of all expectations. It means full acceptance, even celebration of another's personality. And I can tell you, it is never too late to learn. Even I can be trained. LOL!

Meet a soulmate from United States. I'm a "fun catch" and "good egg"--(not just because of the hairline!!) tempermentally, intellectually, conversationally, socially; with a GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR and WIT; therefore FUN to be around!. Play in a band with a former Vegas entertainer doing Sinatra, standards, 50's, jazz, light rock and Latin. Enjoy dinning, conversation with substance, the water, concerts, sight-seeing travel - being outdoors with nature, reading and thoroughly enjoy listening to music. Have played a lot of travelling, tournament senior softball. Played on two national championship teams. I enjoy wine and an ocassional cigar. Not "the bar scene type", nor do I watch much TV. One of my favorite expressions is: "DON'T WAIT FOR THE SUNSHINE----LEARN TO DANCE IN THE RAIN" !!
I pride myself in striving to do "the right thing", even in cases where there's the right to do otherwise!! My main beacon in life
is "fairness"
Favorite tunes:" I'll Be Seeing You"--Harry James Orchestra and theme song from the movie "Somewhere in Time" starring
Christopher Reeves.
Like to develope a gradual companion relationship with a secure, confident, non-complex/high-maintenace lady who shares some mutual interests and enjoys animated companionship and laughter !
My favorite adage is:"People may forget what you said or did, but they always remember how you made them feel !!
Divorce settlement and other financial issues have finally been resolved and divorce will be final soon.

Date people from United States. I’m looking for someone who wants to share the joys of life with me. I don’t have a preconceived view of what our relationship has to be. Time will answer that question. Sharing some good times together and getting better acquainted is a good place to start. The woman I am seeking is successful within her own realm and emotionally available for a healthy relationship.
My match would be youthful, thoughtful, energetic, kind, healthful, and tolerant. I'm wanting to do some traveling so it would be nice if you are a bit adventurous. (I'm planning a trip to London right now). Although I'm retired, there is no requirement that you be. The quality of our relationship is more important than the amount of time we spend together. We should each have our own interests and then join together to share fun times.
On the age thing: My age as posted and my photos are current. Some people on match don’t think it’s important to post their real age or current photos. To me that’s basic. Relationships are based on trust. Most people have a hard time believing my age. We all age differently and I’ve invested a lifetime in healthful living (although I’m not a slave to a rigid program).
Before moving to Scottsdale, I lived in Portland, OR. I've worked all over the country. In my life I’ve had a variety of experiences including: Serving as a hospital CEO, owning for 20 years my own healthcare development/consulting firm, developing a retirement center company located in the Carolinas, serving as an Air Force Medical Evacuation officer, working in law enforcement, designing and operating websites, and more recently, working as a Volunteer Coordinator for the U.S. Forest Service in Tonto National Forest.
Politically I'm a pragmatic person. Issues these days are complex and deserve thoughtful and honest discussion. If you consider yourself to be a "very conservative" person, it's not likely we would be a match.
If you feel we might have some things in common, I hope you’ll drop me a note.

Meet a man from United States. I'm a retired Airline Pilot after a nice 39 year career, and still enjoy occasional travel , even though I'm not getting paid for it anymore. I certainly have lots of hours on me in those long- silver tubes. I have the facial lines to prove it. They must be experience lines, not age lines of course. I've been pressurized too often.
I had a great career and would still be doing that , but Federal age limits rule in airline business(only), so they finally kicked me out. I'm one of the lucky ones, who really enjoyed what he did for a living, and never hated going to work. 'When you're too lazy to work, and too nervous to steal, you fly for a living. '
I also flew/fly at times, when I want, seasonal, the large Fire Tankers since my airline retirement, dropping retardants on those wildfires in Calif, and AZ. Definately not fun flying, but a part time in -demand occupation. It allowed me to stay in the large aircraft , and help those folks below to save their homes. I just may do some more of that during the fire season now.I just call and put myself back on the list with that phone call. Other than the previous, I still pilot for pleasure once in a while.
I like to travel often to Hawaii and the Pacific, a which is easy to do, and still one of my favorite spots which I never get tired off. I still believe the best seafood is right there also, especially in Hawaii. I know lots of good places. I'm a beach lover, and love the water.
The nice easy pace of the Pacific is a winner in my book. Very relaxing and beautiful for sure .
Looking for a honest lady who's not too complicated , without too many problems, and the ones she has, are hopefully not making her problems, her 'problem'.
Light baggage is ok...maybe a' carry-on.' You ladies are complex creatures, and I like that very much about you, it makes you very interesting, but, heavy baggage and problems will eat you alive .
I like a good sense of humor, as I have one also. I like women who are not extreme high maintenance, but do take the time to take care of themselves.It shows when you do that of course. I don't mind waiting a bit for you either.I understand it.
I moved here to North Scottsdale ,7 years ago, in 2005, from Napa, California, after 36 years there. I'm not a snowbird. Bought one of those 'fixer-upers' here in a decent area. Still lots to do to it, as it doesn't ever end as we all know. It nice and comfortable so far. It's a casual but clean house.
Took me a couple years here to acclimate to the summers(especially during monsoon humidity) like most of us.
I still travel every now and then to the San Francisco Bay area to cool off, as I have family and friends still there. Before Napa, I lived in Walnut Creek, Ca, South Florida, and the western suburbs of Chicago. Also, lived in Newport Beach, Ca for a short time in the 80's, and ,I lived in Hawaii , many times, when I was based there , on and off, with the airline. Kept a place there off and on during those times, but always kept my home in Napa, also.
I grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago, when it was a nice place to live and with good schools. Moved out at age 21. Still have many school friends back there I hear from, and a couple of them I hadn't seen in 45-plus years, visited me here recently. They(the alumni) are planning a 55 year reunion in 4 years, and I plan on attending. Should be fun, as my class alumni has remained very active with many events back there, all these years. I missed the 50th..
I have a nice life, and will have no problem sharing it with the right lady. I have been divorced 8 years now, and we had a 'nice' divorce. I have NO baggage from that divorce..NONE.
I'm not a serial dater, I am a one woman type of man. I don't need a nurse, or a housekeeper, or a cook. I'm not here for that.
If you have 'money' that's nice, I'm not after it. If you don't have money, I don't care. If you really do like to cook, I'll help you. .

34 years of distance running, however the fun Marathon days are over, so these days it's simply short distances every morning. Hiking comes in 2nd with beautiful desert trails in the Winter then green forest's at high altitudes in the summer.

Date someone special from Scottsdale, United States. I do not own a Lear jet, or a $85 thousand dollar Porshe, chances are we will not be going out every night to the Ocean Club, or Masto's, etc for dinner, or flying to the South of France for a quick little lunch.
