Date men and women from California, United States. If you were a wine, which wine would you be? Kidding! I'm NOT that corny. But I do have a decent sense of humor and I do enjoy a glass of wine...and not much more. (If you do not drink, NO problem). Even more, I love the art of pairing wines with their soul-mate foods, to bring out the best in both of them. I guess you could say I’m here on Match.com looking for the human version of that kind of pairing? About me: I’m an amateur chef. Since childhood I’ve been making up recipes, enjoying new foods, entertaining friends and family with my creations. I also love to golf...in fact these days I would rather do that than drink wine; take vacations of both the active, touring around Europe/Asia variety and the margarita/Mai Tai on the beach kind; read anything and everything from newspapers to food magazines to novels; and experience the symphony, museums, and the theater. Also, enjoy outdoor activities, exercise 4-5 days a week, day/weekend excursions, travel near and far, and meeting up with friends. Professionally I practiced corporate law for many years, then left first to do mergers and acquisitions in Silicon Valley and now in financial services. The law life taught me a lot about reading and understanding people, balancing work/life/play/relationships, laughing at the absurd, appreciating different points of view, compromising -- all things I’ve found make me a better person in my non-work life. My career even got me on TV a few times (in a good way. Really! It was not America’s Most Wanted). Think we’d go well together? Shoot me an email and let’s see how it goes! Main photo September 2011.
Meet single man from California, United States. I have been divorced for nearly five years. My former wife has remarried, so no baggage there. I am seeking someone that is kind and loving and most importing a friendpartner that can talk and share our experiences, strenths and hopes.
Date people from California, United States. This is great!!! You can actually request the person of your dreams and have hope that it be fulfilled.
And yes… I have tried praying!
Being physically active is very important to me. The person I’m looking for is at least moderately fit and active. Someone with a good social life is a definite plus. One of my passions is hiking. The only thing required is a trail with a beautiful view. Pretty basic!
Personally, I am very comfortable in the gym. Weight training is a great stress relief for me and, Hey, I even did the Zumba class! I must be honest and admit I only did it once. It’s fast, hard and the aerobic conditioning is just a killer.
Moderate drinking is ok (I will socially drink occasionally) but the smell of cigarette smoke just doesn’t do it for me.
What am I proud of? I am the first one in my family to attend and graduate from college. My father was a cab driver and died when I was 5, so food and shelter was the priority. College wasn’t even on the radar. But, I worked nights in the grocery store and received scholarships for grades and made it through. Since then, all the younger generation of my family, including my daughter, has attended at least some level of college. We even have 2 RN’s and an attorney in the group. Of course, it can always be debated as to whether the attorney is an asset.
Classic cars and racing are big interests. Both of my older brothers were stock car and drag racers. As the baby brother, I got all the good jobs, like sweeping the shop, fetching tools and car parts. Etc. But it created some great memories, and is probably why I enjoy my 57 Chevy so much.
I own a home on the golf course and enjoy doing my own yard work. But I must admit, while I am generally a neat person, my cleaning lady is indispensable. My career is still a big portion of my life but I’ll be transitioning into retirement in the next couple of years. I’ll probably still work some as long as I still enjoy the profession.
Hopefully, you are in a similar phase of your life and share similar interests. Relationships are, in my opinion, built on understanding, passion, honesty and compromise. I’m very open to trying new things in life.
Remember, “eat well and laugh often”.

Date someone special from United States. Im a 59 nice looking spontaneous guy looking for a lady 50-60 that is looking for a friendship leading to a passionate relationship. I enjoy romance and feel that intimacy achieved over time is so important in a relationship. I also feel the ability to have nonjudgemental dialogue is equally important to a relationship. We live in such interesting times that to have a life friend or partner has the ability to keep all things in perspective. The look in ones eyes or the slight touch of ones hand brings everything back to balance. BTW I have been told that chronologically I may be 59 I most certainly dont look or act it.
Meet a soulmate from United States. So not high-maintenance, I'm a simple pleasures kind of guy. Those little bits of life that seem to stand out in your memory. To me they always carry the greatest satisfaction. And there's no better place to find these bits of life than in the 'Great Outdoors'.
Of course, while I’m into the great outdoors, I’m also a gear head. I'm forever downloading apps to my iPhone and iPad and I enjoy learning about what makes things run. My fascination with machinery is what got me interested in auto racing, but especially into Formula 1. I love seeing the innovations on today's racecar that won't trickle down to passenger cars until someday in the future.
I’m looking for a confidant woman who is proud of her accomplishments and will support me in mine, who enjoys having a good conversation about anythng and isn’t afraid of a little bit of rain. She'd rather spend a day in a quiet meadow than a night in a noisy club. She cares about her body and takes proper care of it. And she will want to motivate me to come with her.
