Meet a man from California, United States. Open, honest, faithful, sincere, forgiving, caring, and some one who enjoys life and would love to find someone that wants to walk hand in hand with a man that's filled with complete love and affection
Date single man from California, United States. Looking back, fun things I enjoy involve physical activity. Hiking/backpacking, canoe/kayaking, road/mountain biking and sailing/cruising.
Sailing has my focus for now. My definition of sailing is cruising, not racing. My longest cruise left San Francisco in 2008 to Mexico returning late 2009. Lately trips have been confined to the Bay area and Monterey. My goal for cruising is the Pacific circle: SF, Mexico, Panama, Ecuador, South Pacific including New Zealand, Hawaii, Alaska and back to SF. It's a long trip but worth all the adventure, good and bad.
Music is also in my life. I have been a trumpet player since fourth grade. Worked on a trumpet performance degree (classical) and played with numerous army bands for 38 years. (3yr active 35 National Guard) They retire you at 60. Now I play for food and beer.
I like to laugh at any humor thrown my way. My occupation was in law enforcement and humor was one way to get through difficult situations. Nurses understand. They also see some undesirable aspects of life and escape by humor, (some sic) I like all kinds of humor as long as it isn't hurtful.
Romance and romantic places are very real, completely unexplainable. My favorite anchorage is Stillwater Cove south of Monterey. I will post a picture. When you see it, think of calm, companionship and wine...
I’m looking for a special lady who has similar areas of interest with her own interests to add....
Meet someone special from California, United States. This past March, for the FIRST time in 45 years, I STOPPED "chasing JOY" (by pursuing this/that) and in that short period of NOT "chasing" anything, I find that am FILLED with JOY! Unbelievable how that works.
Looking to meet "like-minded" women that want to enjoy this part of life. As an on/off dating site member, (4 years divorced) I have come to the the belief that this age bracket of women "seekers" are still "wound a little too tight" for me. If you call
"service people" often, use the phrase "business call" and are generally "busy", you have more anxiety in your life than most men
want in theirs. Personally, I have NO interest in traveling and having my time "scheduled" all the time. Been there, done that!
If you accept the notion on A and B-types, from my perspective, the women available AND that get on these sites, are
generally A-types as the B's tend to have less initiative for "hunting" a mate. A-types don't make the best pairings but not impossible!
RELAX! Your life experience is in the final phase and there is NOT some big beautiful place your headed for! Just like everything else in the universe, you have a LIFESPAN. It's a LOT more fun than NOT having one. Find the JOY! Dump the WORRIES!
Looking to meet that hard-to-find "b-type" that has yet to be discovered!
Peace
Date people from United States. I am now offically divorced after a long marrige and am looking for a classy, educated, independent lady with whom to have an exclusive relationship.

Winks are welcome.
Meet men and women from United States. I'd like to say that I look good for my age, but that sounds like bragging, and has to come from someone else, not me. This, from a guy with no picture. Good for you if you won't deal with men who don't post a picture. Right off the bat, a red flag. Actually, I've never seen a picture of me I liked, but mostly I'm intimidated by this whole process. "Chicken," is a word I'd use. So what am I doing here? Good question. Curious, not serious? What I do know is, beneath this deceptive appearance, I'm real. I understand that genuine, and sincere friendships begin slowly. A knowing smile, a slight touch of a hand, a warm embrace. When the mood is right, we laugh, and when we laugh, it comes from the heart, fills the room. Real.
I set a goal of getting the most out of my day, and the only way to achieve that is to wake up before everyone else and find that little space before the morning light. Mornings are the most productive and I'm anxious to get to it. Retired, but still working. Different kind of work, harder, much more fulfilling. I live by a simple mantra, healthy body, healthy mind. I need both to be in sync, to feel good about myself. Doesn't mean I'm all work, no play. I allow plenty of breathing space, just have to earn it first. For the most part, I consider myself normal, not perfect. I'm not good-looking, but not bad either. When it comes to family and close friends, there is no other priority, I make time, give unconditionally.
I don't think I make good first impressions. Never have. If I'm fortunate enough to get past that inevitable awkwardness, I'm really easy to be around. A sense of humor is big with me. Love to laugh. If there's a flaw, it's that I hate wasting time. Time is everything, my most valuable possession. Every morning I wake up, I'm inspired to do the very best, and do it passionately.
I'd like someone who shares a healthy outlook, takes care of themself. Doesn't have to be obsessive, just enough to make you feel good. Looks are good, but I'm not searching for the star attraction. Hard to describe really. It has more to do with a woman's confidence, and how she projects that ease from within. Sounds corny, but for me, it really is inner beauty, and she doesn't have to work hard at it, just be herself. If we can have an interesting conversation, then walk away wanting more, we'll, I think we've got something here.
Date a soulmate from United States. I am 6o yrs old, 5'10'', and 190 lbs, I have salt-n-pepper hair, and blue eyes. I love to laugh, and have a good time. I enjoy dining out, movies, hot tubs,and an occasional glass of wine, I enjoy listening to music, dancing, clubbing, and concerts. I have been a drummer for 45 years, and at the present time I am the lead singer, and band leader of a CCR tribute band. I really enjoy the outdoors, and anything to do with the water, swimming, fishing, boating, etc. I also enjoy hiking, camping and hunting, and rodeos.
Meet a man from United States. Before we start, let us agree that we REALLY don't know each other and so are proceeding with a modicum of trust. Now in the real world we would have already met face to face. Therefore, I do not respond to inquires without at LEAST one picture. My main interest in life is to relax and enjoy it's possibilities in all it's diverse areas. I am very much a home body. I like to collect things. I love glass, especially art glass. I don't get out much but when I do I enjoy driving to new places and exploring the surrounding areas.
I am a man of simple joys like the sunrise at morning or the sunsets at night. My mate would enjoy washing dishes and cooking with me. I am a caring, physically touchy kind of man. I am looking for my last mate and will adore her and attend to her needs and desires. I LOVE to purchase things for her and I am NOT cheap ... but I can be had. ( scuze the old line) I appreciate the finer things in life.
Dr. Phil is my hero, my teacher and next to my Father, most admired Husband. He is the standard by which I aspire.
Dr. Laura is my heroine and I have listened to her amazing position since 1994. Her only goal and passion in life is to make our current and future children secure, healthy and happy. What greater goal could one have?
I enjoy the ability to put my feelings in the written word and desire to honor my mate with deeper feelings in poetry.
A sense of humor is very important in my relationship. As a former auto mechanic, I found the following quote interestingly comedic: "There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women. Chief among these is the Mercedes-Benz 380SL." Author unknown.
My views are very conservative. I staunchly believe that people are especially responsible for who they are, evidenced by what they do. I believe the price we pay for the privilege of being on this gorgeous blue marble is our service to each other. And I honor that by giving our apartment tenants way more than the competition in their domiciles at a very reasonable rental price. I believe in less government and more individual responsibility. I practice recycling and love animals.
Date single man from United States. I've been to many countries and lead a magic life. Now I want to settle down with a nice lady who would love me as well as my Labradoodle. Are you ready for the final half? It would be a bonus if you lead a healthy lifestyle. I'm in my 60's. I work out 6-7 days a week so my chronological age is higher than my biological age of 50's. I'm a retired USC dentist and make a hobby/business of buying and selling vintage Porsches. Looking for a serious long term relationship. I'm taking a different tact than most on this site by actually posting recent photos. :)
Meet someone special from United States. My friends say I'm a caring, thoughtful, energetic and generous person. I'm adventurous, kind, easy going, fun and believe I have a great sense of humor and easily laugh at myself. My family and friends mean the world to me. I'm comfortable dining out as well as eating at home and believe I'm a fairly decent cook and like entertaining. Working together in the kitchen preparing a meal while sharing a good conversation and a glass of wine is a nice bonus. I love to travel, especially to new places. I'm a good travel partner and easily go with the flow, I especially enjoy the outdoors, whether it be the ocean, mountains or desert and prefer to do almost anything rather than planting myself on a sofa for hours watching TV. I look forward to meeting someone with some common interests we could enjoy together though, it's not necessary we have all the same interests.
