Date women from United States / Arkansas / Oakland, 63 year old - page 2

Date someone special from Oakland, United States. I am independent, have never been in better shape in my life, love my home and my newly remodeled kitchen, and loving this phase of my professional career as a consultant. I have interesting and varied friends, two adult daughters with whom I am very close but who both live very far away. But, of course, one important thing is missing--a relationship and all that that brings.
Being around smart, witty people is important.
Figuring out what makes two people click is a total mystery. We probably don't need to have a lot of interests in common. But open, honest communication is a must. A good sense of humor and curiosity helps. General political persuasion may be the great delineator. Like if you are a Sarah Palin or Glen Beck devotee, probably a no go.

Meet a soulmate from Oakland, United States. I'm a non-workaholic health professional who will have no difficulty keeping occupied after I win the lottery and quit working. An avid tennis player, I would play 'most every day, as long as my arm and knees remain in tact. I would see more movies (especially foreign films)and live theatre, go to more concerts (especially jazz). I'd entertain family and friends more, and get to all the restaurants I've been wanting to try. I'd get a new bike. Get to the books on my list. I'd do a lot of traveling. I'm a Europhile but it's time to try other places. I'd take classes to finally advance past my high school Spanish (or at least take Salsa dance lessons!) Of course, most of these things would be more enjoyable doing with a man: A bright, attractive, upbeat, social animal with liberal leanings who shares many of my interests, and who genuinely likes (intelligent) women. A sensual man who savors the moment. A person who laughs easily and often. Someone who's iconoclastic but not cynical. A man who shows generosity of spirit. A man who can stay awake past 10 pm. As we all know, perfect doesn't exist. But, the qualities I prefer are: Warmth, good-natured disposition, social ease, a good sense of humor that can manifest as wit, earthiness, goofiness, ribaldry, a funny face, a great laugh. Interest in the arts (performing and otherwise)is good. An ability to express one's opinions and emotions, and to listen to those of one's partner. I love when men show passion for people, issues, things that matter to them. I love men that are great dads. I want to be with someone who is not connected to his couch, i.e., he enjoys getting out and exploring the world, trying different things. He has to tolerate my love of Oldies, R&B, and Frank Sinatra. He's a good friend, and appreciates women as friends. He values independence in the woman he is seeing, and doesn't have a need to be with her every waking moment. And I do like sexy and demonstrative.
