Date single man from California, United States. I come from a large family so one learns how to play well with others. People say I'm easy going and I am, although I have my own thoughts, ideas and values that may be different from others. I'm not a hater, I forgive and forget quickly. I tend to see the good in others. I like to think that I have an "Attitude of Gratitude" lifestyle.
My grandchildren are a real pleasure in my life along with several good friends and family. In them I see the of beauty of living joyfully and connected. They are quite supportive, we socialize and laugh often.
I would enjoy the company of someone who is kind, has a reasonably well balanced life but doesn't take herself too seriously. Playful but not an airhead. Looking forward to meeting you!
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I have blueish greyish sometimes feintly flecked eyes. I think it is nice to have an eye color. You should have at least one eye color, the more the merrier.
Idealism has its limits with me. I am a real man and only seek to meet a real woman. If you have spent enough time fantasizing about your ideal guy that the ideal has taken on a life of its own, you should probably click the "NO" button right about now!
I have no tattoos. A nice tattoo on someone else is a nice thing.
Date a man from California, United States. I have taught high school science and math for many years. My degree is in chemistry. I also have a degree in real estate and education in many other areas including physical education. I am by nature a leader and was once the president of a teachers’ union which was a full time job and involved political organizing, heading many committees, negotiating budgets with the school district, etc. I also coached college basketball for five years.
I had an import/retail business for many years doing business in Russia, Ukraine, Bali, Thailand, Kathmandu (Nepal), and China. I imported hand selected fine arts, crafts, textiles, jewelry and more. I once had two stores and had been working 7 days a week from morning until night for five years (while I was teaching) and I realized that this was no way to live and enjoy life so I closed my last store about six years ago and now concentrate on living and enjoying this wonderful thing we call life. Though I am quite happy alone, there is so much more happiness, interest, and excitement possible when life is shared with a special someone. Life with me will not be dull or ordinary.
I enjoy playing guitar. I used to play classical guitar but stopped 20 years ago and started again about a year ago. I am also taking private piano lessons. I enjoy classical music but also like many other kinds of music such as Irish, jazz and, of course classical rock- from the Beatles to Bach it’s all great music. I like going to concerts and watching flamenco and tango dancing.
I love to learn and am always reading books or taking classes in music and art at the college level. I was just selected by the college to exhibit a body of my work at the campus' museum of contemporary art and am very excited about it.
I love traveling and meeting people. In Dec. 2010, I went to New Zealand (3 weeks) to backpack. The last tract I did was called the Kepler tract. I walked 60 km in four days most of it in the rain and wind through rainforest and high alpine treeless mountains. I also did two other tracts as well. It was an adventure!
Even though I am not young, I continue to dream, am very energetic, healthy, eat well, exercise and am always anxious to listen and learn. I do not sit and watch TV all day. In fact, I have not owned a TV for more than 15 years. I watch DVD’s on my computer a few times a week and go to the cinema, concerts, lectures, etc.
A few of my favorite authors are Dostoevsky, Kafka, Hesse and Winston Churchill. My favorite poet is the American Emily Dickinson. I am both intellectual and down to earth. I can talk about philosophy or show you how to replace a toilet or make beaded jewelry. I enjoy working with my hands as well as my mind. I enjoy good conversation.
It is VERY important that you see yourself as an equal to me and expect to be treated with dignity and respect. You should have your own well thought out opinions and not be afraid to speak out but should also want to hear the other side and be willing to compromise. I am interested in a woman who is humorous, empathetic, creative, compromises, appreciates subtlety and is most of all not selfish. If I make a mistake about something I would like to be corrected and provided with positive suggestions in a supportive way and I will do the same.I enjoy correcting my mistakes and am never afraid to make a mistake. MUST like to be hugged, kissed and caressed. In a close relationship (marriage is a welcomed possibility but not a necessity ), success for you is the same as success for me from my way of thinking. I am a very supportive and problem solving type of person who likes to laugh, converse, and create. I would be quite happy to share in (most) of your interests and would certainly try most anything once just out of curiosity.

She is comfortable where she currently is in life and will remain comfortable as she/we proceed down the sometimes-tough road of life together.

I am financially and emotionally secure and seek that special someone who is also financially and emotionally secure. I enjoy drives up the coast, frequent weekend getaways and occasional longer vacations. Also enjoy going out or just being a homebody cooking meals for that special someone, or just holding hands, cuddling and spending quality time together while talking, listening to music, watching TV or reading and being close to/touching each other. Yes, he cooks, sews, and sometimes can even be convinced to iron! Can also fix just about anything. I enjoy classic cars and sports cars. Most importantly, I feel and think young, have a quick dry wit and sometimes slightly warped sense of humor. I also enjoy being playfully and silly and don't ever wanna grow up!

Date people from United States. I'm a happy non-conformist kind o' guy. I love good food, good coffee and a good laugh with good company. I try to walk the earth softly while treating people the way I'd like them to treat me. I meditate (almost) daily and don't take myself very seriously. Let me loose in a kitchen and chances are I will make something delicious and usually healthy. I'm pretty down to earth and prefer surprising and interesting to posh and extravegant. I believe in social justice , economic justice , equality for all and the dignity of all honest labor. Peace, Love and Roller Derby. I use a cane to walk but keep myself fit and take really good care of myself. I'm pretty sure my cat is from another planet but comes to our planet in peace.
Meet someone special from United States. I believe that sincerity is a virtue. I enjoy to make others happy, and share tht happiness with them. Generosity is a big word, but to practice generosity requires one to understand that before getting the ten, one should give the nine...
Having self confidence in life is essential in our lives, as it is the essence of survival these days.
