Date men and women from United States / California, 60 year old - page 52

Date men and women from California, United States. Engineer by trade and I seek to live my life in such a way, that it first brings honor to God and His Son Jesus Christ and also to help those whom He has placed in my path/life. I am looking for someone who has similar interests and who already knows & loves Jesus Christ as their Savior. The other details are of lesser importance.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I am a down to earth, easy to be with sort of person. I am energetic, but not hyper. I tend to be fairly active, don't watch tv, but like movies; especially foreign and classics. I am comfortable in almost any social situation, and thoroughly enjoy interacting with a wide variety of people. I have never had children of my own, but, as the oldest of eight siblings, I have had lots of interaction with children. I think that the time that I spent taking care of younger siblings permanently warped my sense of humor. I still like corny jokes. People have often said that I have a peaceful, gentle presence. I always do my best to treat everyone with respect, and tend to often inject humor and encouragement in my interactions with others.
I enjoy road trips, both for exploring beautiful scenery, or exploring some little town that I have never been to before. I do have future plans for more extensive travel . . . hopefully with someone special.
Like a lot of Mechanical engineers, I am very good at fixing things around the house and car . . . generally fun for me. I also enjoy dabbling in some crafts activities, from time to time. Lately, it has been mostly house projects, but I am looking forward to doing more woodworking and photography.
I am looking for the sort of romantic relationship that has a solid foundation of friendship; just enjoying being together regardless of the activity.One of the most important things for me in a romantic relationship that will grow over time, is conversation. The ability to talk about everything from the hazy deep thoughts and feelings to the ordinary matters of everyday life. The feeling of thoroughly enjoying conversation and feeling like there will always be more to talk about is one of my definitions of wonderfulness. At the same time, being comfortable together in silence is also good.
I am perpetually intellectually curious and enjoy both the world of ideas, and the 'hands on' world of skilled art/craft. Learning something new is always a joy.
My educational path has been a bit unconventional. I have studied both mechanical engineering and psychology, and have a MA in Counseling. At work I have managed to fairly happily combine both areas of interest in my job.
As you can see on the attached check list, I do have a variety of interests. Of course, I would like to share, at least, some with a partner. Also, I think that it would be fun to learn about a partner's interests, even though they are different than my own. Of course, interests and activities tend to change over time. So, what is most important, is simply enjoying sharing life with that wonderfully compatible someone special. Could that special someone be you??

Date single man from California, United States. I've met some very nice ladies, but not the ONE yet, and I think the reason has been my lack of clarity. This time I'll be more precise:
I own a vitamin manufacturing company in Oregon and I travel there every 4-5 weeks for a week. I have a condo in Austin and like to go there during the cooler months every 4-5 weeks. I love music and Austin is the "Music capital of the world". I also love San Diego and want this to always be my home base. In doing the math, you may have figured out that I'm only here 50-75% of the time. Therein lies the rub. Unless you have a flexible schedule and can see Oregon and Austin a few times a year, it could be an issue.
Relationships are tough enough, so many parts have to match up, and not being around all the time is a deal breaker to many. Better to share this now than later down the road.
I play golf 2-3 times a month and sometimes smoke a cigar when I do. I was a Sunday school teacher in my teens but no longer attend church. I like to get up around 8am, not 6am! I know, many of these are deal breakers....
The good news is I'm a nice, and if you laugh easily, kinda funny guy, I volunteer once or twice a week at a homeless out-reach center. I know a bit about nutrition and eat healthy. I sometimes indulge in too much fine Cabernet, but what the hell! I like to dance, play the guitar and workout.
I've had horses, pleasure and race horses, but because I'm in the travel mode, I don't have a regular animal companion. I do have bird feeders though.....:)
There you have it. Best of luck to you finding your soul mate.

Meet people from California, United States. LOVING, HARD WORKING, GOOD AND TRUSTWORTHY MAN LOOKING FOR A PARTNER/COMPANION TO SHARE HIS LIFE WITH. SOMEONE I CAN TRUST AND BELIEVE IN, A GIRLY GIRL, CONFIDENT AND SURE ABOUT WHAT SHE WANTS AND WHO SHE IS. ARE YOU THAT ONE???

Date someone special from California, United States. What one thing?
What one single aspect of my life might illuminate the whole of me -- what one tiny piece of the hologram that contains the whole, what fleeting glimpse of what Buddhists call "buddha nature"?
What one single thing can I say about myself?
I'll start by saying I love being a father. My children are my only real treasure here on earth. I tell them that all the time. They live in Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. I raised them in Teller County, Colorado.
I can also say I am married to my work.
My work defines me. I am a cofounder of a hedge fund. I love what I do.
I can also say I worked on Wall Street for many years before starting my hedge fund. Worked hard. Learned a lot. Laughed a lot. Great mentors. Great friends. Even some great clients.
And now?
I am a man who is tired, overworked, and stressed out.
I am ready to retire.
What one other thing can I say about myself?
I can say I want to retire, but these volatile markets won't let me. Right now, the financial world is in an "anxiety mode". It's not fair to my clients to quit right now.
The collapse of the euro dollar, a possible double dip global recession, and new tensions in the Mideast, etc. -- all conspire to keep me on the job.
What would I rather do?
My future ambition is to create a charitable trust or family foundation to support the causes I believe in.
What do I believe in?
I believe money is alchemy, and philantropists are alchemists for good.
I believe in not only in intellectual IQ, but also in emotional IQ and spiritual IQ? Spiritual IQ is what will save the planet.
I believe our economic system institutionalizes greed, our militarism institutionalizes hatel, while the media institutionalizes delusion.
What one other thing can I say about myself?
I love nature.
My cabin in Big Sur is an occasional retreat. I mostly live in San Francisco; New York, too.
At Big Sur, I love the coastal redwoods, the sound of the surf, the red-tailed hawks circling overhead, the proximity to the Easlen Institute, and the fact that Jack Kerouac did his best writing here.
I go to Big Sur so that I might "enter into the dream of the earth" (W. B. Yeats).
What one other thing can I say about myself?
I believe in love.
I believe we can vibrate with passion much in the same way as a violin vibrates during a J. S. Bach solo.
I still smile when I think of my last love affair.
I believe the need to love is stronger than the fear of being hurt in love.
I can say I come back to love not out of sorrow, but in wonder.
What one other thing can I say about myself?
I have an insane need for privacy, and that it always surprised me when people don't accept this about me.
I can say I am truthful, but not transparent.
I would rather you read my love letters than my resume.
I would rather have you look into my eyes than into my bank accounts or homes.
I would rather mirror you than have you look into the windows of my life.
I can say that if you can't accept my need for privacy, then we are probably not compatible.
What one thing can I say?
I can say that a few of my friends are really accomplished in the arts and that I envy them.
What else?
I believe language is a vibrant, malleable, living material. I love poetry and poets.
I believe we all are -- to greater or lesser extents -- broken, wounded, hurt, rejected, tired, sick, discouraged, defeated, detached, depressed, anxious, withdrawn, or ignored.
I believe that all beings suffer, and that I also believe this is the most compelling reason why we should be compassionate towards one another. We all suffer.
I believe miracles of healing lay ahead for all of us.
So...
Ask me that one thing you would like to know, and I'll try to answer.

Meet a man from California, United States. I'm a politically very liberal, philosophical seeker preoccupied with mortality. As a flawed Buddhist and a definite Stoicist, I distrust the carrot of Pleasure (But darn it, I don't want to MISS OUT on anything EITHER!. Heh heh).
Lest I sound like a stick in the mud, let me defend myself by saying that I do appreciate the wacky, funny side of life. I like outre humor a la The Subgenius Church , The Firesign Theatre, The Puzzling Evidence Show,Family Guy, Jon Stewart, etc. If you pick me, there's plenty of TV in your future! And monasteries! Yippee!
I also like some more sane things: Opera, Classical Jazz, Nature, Eco-travel, Art, France, Italy. But only in small doses.
I grew up in both L.A. in the 50's and the mid-Peninsula in the 60's. Loved the music and the fearless, reckless optimism and the belief in Love at that time . Was a political geek in college and then ran off with spiritual groups in the late 70's. Got married a couple of times. Had issues with alcohol. I got sober thru the 12 steps, and think Program is probably the best force for good on the planet. (Believe in the tenets, but not currently going to meetings). As an only child, I've always been a bit of a loner. Have just a handful of friend and family I spend significant time with. I like people, I know I need people, but I am in my head a lot. I like animals, esp dogs.
If you're among the 99% in this website that seem, by their descriptions, to be almost perfectly well-adjusted psychologically, my hat is off to you! (Or maybe I pity you. I can't decide.) But you'd probably find my idiosyncrasies, hangups, introversion,etc. troubling. Even though I look pretty good in them, I will not wear a suit under any conditions. (Okay, if you DIE, maybe). However, living on the edge doesn't necessarily mean the edge of destruction. The possibility of change and the glory of the unfinished story of the Universe are my comforts and inspiration as the unsettling reminders of old age, sickness and death start to become more than concepts.
My core hope is that there IS such a thing as Enlightenment, which may be a state in which we actually transcend the limitations of our present incarcantion, OR perhaps a way we make the sting of death less ouchy! I'm kind of a believer in Pascal's wager. If Enlightenment, the Afterlife, Union with Everything, etc., is all true, Whoopie! If not, at least you've spent a life in hopefully anticipating it.
I love Tibetan culture and would like to visit Tibetan areas in India in the near future. Particularly Dharmsala is calling. (Will I accept the charges?) I'm also interested in other traditions. I love holy sites and monasteries and have lived in them before. I might end up in one. In fact, I'll go even furthur and say my qualms about existence and my worries over my lapses and mistakes have often made me yearn for the oblivion of a totalistic spiritual community. I've been in a few unhealthy ones and one or two great ones
I've recently gotten the Astronomy bug and might end up following that more. For now I just read and listen to podcasts about it and look at websites. It could be I will start going to star parties and/or the best places to view certain celestial phenonena.
I think I am pretty funny. I couldn't bear the angst and uncertainty I perceive in the Universe without it. I also think I am basically compassionate and concerned with the well being of others. As one who has experienced the later stages of Alzheimer's Disease with a life partner, I've learned it is surrender to helping or die!
Like most of the rest of me, this is unfinished and not up to my standards, but what the heck. If something about it interests you, write and we'll see what comes of it. Good luck to you
