Date men and women from California, United States. I'm a healthy slender athletic young happy 64. Although I enjoy laying on a beach or watching a video while cuddling on the couch, I prefer to be active, playing tennis, dancing, hiking, exploring, tinkering. Tools turn me on; I get pleasure from fixing just about anything except dinner, although I am an ace at doing dishes. I am a highly educated non-intellectual, and a published author who doesn't read much and is spelling-impaired. I like personal conversation, love to laugh, and love making others laugh. Chemistry between people is very important to me. Pretenses turn me off; my highest value is honesty. I would not, for instance, be interested in a woman who misrepresents herself on Match, by age, etc. I appreciate women with a good sense of humor and I'm told that I have one as well. I also value diversity, have a hunger for experiences that go beyond what is familiar to me, and would like to share new interests that a partner might bring to our relationship. I am passionate in love and life. I can be both impulsive and thoughtful. I am even tempered, although I handle conflict well when it arises, and have been relatively successful with partners in the past at working out differences. I am a psychotherapist. I am looking for a woman who sees people in a deep way and is emotionally open. I have genuinely fond memories of my childhood and was very close to my dad, who is now deceased. I feel very connected to my brother and my 93-year-old mom, both of whom live in the Northwest. I love traveling, and would like a partner with a similar spirit. I view relationships as collaborations requiring flexibility on both sides. I'm looking for a woman with whom to share simple pleasures, to adventure, and to grow.
Meet a man from California, United States. It would be nice to meet someone who has similar interests as me in areas of travel and hobies...My social life has been on hold for a long time and am just now getting out there. I play golf three times a week at a nearby country club and would like to share the activities there with a special lady. I am now in the process of taking better care of my body with renewed interest in weight training, some exercise along with calorie counting....I have been divorced for some time now and looking for love and companionship for the first time in a long while. I can promise you a good time if your willing to take a chance..
My idea of a perfect eveining would be great dinner followed by a broadway play followed by a late nite discussion of the event with a nite cap at a favorite quiet restaurant. The other perfect evening could include just staying home with a quiet meal and watching a favorite movie with someone special.
My closest friends would describe me as a person who loves life and thinks positively most of the time. I am one who appreciates my life and looks froward to tomorrow. I love to laugh out loud at funny tv or movie comedies. I think I have a great sense of humor and try to exhibit it on a daily basis.
I am most passionate about my grandkids and my daughter. I need to divert some of that passion towards others at this time in my life.
I was maried for 26 years...been divorced for 13 years...Coached fotball for 15 years at the High School level and two years at the semi-professional level....High School administrator for 25 years...Have one Daughter and three grandkids...Just now starting the dating scene again and looking forward to meeting some interesting women...I actually like being around women and miss the conversations I used to have with my secretaries. I miss going to lunch and dinner and all that. I love broadway plays and the talent it takes to produce one.
You mention travel and I'm gassing the vehicle up or going on line to buy plane or boat tickets...Always ready to go...Just need a partner..
I've always been a gambler in life and am willing to gamble on love. I can promise you a ride you may never forget.

Meet single man from California, United States. About me – I’m very fit and take care of my body by eating correctly and working out. I like the outdoors, going to movies, traveling (recent trips have been to Mammoth, Santa Barbara wine country, Big Bear, San Francisco, and Seattle – one of my favorite spots is Pike’s Market). I enjoy music, concerts, playing sports, having a glass of wine while watching a Netflix movie at home, and dining out. I am organized and easy going with lots of energy. I retired seven years ago and I am financially responsible. I am positive, stable, a good listener, and a people person. I have a great life since retiring but I am missing that special person.
I have a few hobbies, one of which is restoring my California Craftsman properties. I enjoy going to swap meets and buying 100-yr-old stained glass windows, glass door knobs, period (art deco, Arts and Crafts, and Spanish) light fixtures. My antique “finds” have been a fun part of restoring my nearby Venice beach rentals.
My friends enjoy my homemade fruit liqueurs that I start every summer and give as gifts at Christmas time. I cook for myself, and make my special chili and fudge for friends and family.
Family and friends are very important to me. I have been blessed with three beautiful grown daughters and one grandson. While I am very close to the girls and their families, they all live out of town and I only see them a couple of times a year.
Several times a week I play paddle tennis (no, it’s not ping pong!) and I go to the gym nearly every day. I don’t golf but I do have my own clubs just in case you golf and would like to teach me.
I am looking for a companion who is unattached and willing to consider a committed relationship. I know that chemistry and lifestyle are important so some of the traits I am looking for include: you are a happy person, have a positive outlook, are fit, active, have a sense of adventure, are fun loving, thoughtful, honest, sincere, family oriented, have a sense of humor, and enjoy romance.
I have a great lifestyle. I am a happy person, and I am looking to share my life with someone special. Hopefully you’re the one.
This is my first time using a dating service and my pictures are very recent. Let’s have a cup of coffee, tea or glass of wine and have a conversation about each other.
If you like some of the same things I feel and do, I’d love to hear from you.
Date someone special from United States. Looking for a special relationship that will grow and blossom as we have fun sharing time together. I am healthy, fit, funny, irreverent, and interested in intellectual pursuits---art, politics, history, religion, science, and how they all relate. I also enjoy the outdoors, travel, dancing, theater, music, and am open to new fun things. I am romantic, passionate, playful, affectionate, and giving.
I am looking for a special woman to begin exploring the possibilities for a wonderful relationship. I want someone who cares about family and people, is curious about life, and has wide interests. Someone who is compassionate, thoughtful, adventurous, playful, and affectionate. Someone who is confident, outgoing, has positive energy, integrity, and is passionate about life. Someone who is self aware and real, who balances talking and listening, has a great sense of humor, loves to laugh, and is comfortable with who she is.
A poetic thought:
Exploring the world together would be oh so very sweet
Finding a special partner would make the symphony of life complete
Laughing, learning, loving, dancing
Our time together so fun and life enhancing
Share adventures, search for our cores
Tap new creativity, open new doors
Let's find our girl and boy
Be carefree and enjoy
The excitement and passions of life
With wonder and pure delight
A fun and exciting life is awaiting
So let's connect and begin our dating
It's definitely "time2share fun"

Meet people from United States. Hi -
After reading many of these descriptions, I have come to the conclusion that no one is religious--everyone is spiritual; all women are as comfortable in a black cocktail dress as they are in jeans; they like nights out, but also curled up with their guy watching a movie; like to cook with their man, must like their families, and be a gentleman. I could go on.
So let's see, what's left... I am a man with a New York sense of humor (it's a birthright), like to be playfully sarcastic... to a point; I love going to the theatre, movies, music; like to read, something I neglected for years. I do not sit in front of TVs watching sports, except on occasion; I love cats (I love dogs, too, but they remain children for so long). I am sensual as well as sexual, pretty open to most things; I am not hunting for THE relationship right now, but... if it lands in front of me, I won't push it away. I like being close, and having emotional intimacy. It makes one thrive and can be the base from which all other things work.
If after reading my profile, you would like to get in touch, I will be vanishing from Match around the second week of August. But there's still hope (I say, humbly); I can be reached at ewemigh at sonic dot net.
Oh, I forgot... I am an actor, singer, Vocal Music and Stage Director. It's not just what I do... it's an expression of who I am. Interested? Sounds interesting to me :=)
Date men and women from United States. I am a good catch in seach of a heart of gold.
Responsible, hardworking, affectionate, and loyal.
Expect to be treated well.
I am looking for all the women I have fallen in love with and have
gone so far away..
Meet a man from United States. Fun loving, honest individual looking for same. Willing to take time off my day to day and stick out for spontaneous events.
Wants to share the joys of life; but work hard together to gain them.
Not impressed with outward appearances' but wants to learn the real person within.
Date a soulmate from United States. Easy going and playful, yet thoughtful and considerate would describe me. I'm very social and like to be active, love to travel, especially in Europe and warm places (though I like the mountains too, especially the Alps). There are so many places to explore, yet I still like sitting at home on a quiet night enjoying someone's company.
I can be very accommodating yet I'm confident in myself and l love someone who is also happy with themselves, confident and can laugh at their mistakes (as I can).
I'm not looking for perfection (which is all in the eye of the beholder anyway), but for someone flexible, affectionate, with a sense of humor, and with a love of life. I'm looking for someone who wants to be treated like she's the only one in the world. My greatest joy has been when I can help someone else be happy. I'm loyal, affectionate, and love to laugh, but drama makes life interesting and I don't shy away from the realities of relationships.
Let's have a picnic on the beach. Let's take in the Summer Pops on the water. Let's rent a sailboat and spend the afternoon on Mission Bay, How about just drinks at Vigiluci's in Carlsbad during the sunset. Or renting a classic movie and snuggling up at home with a bowl of popcorn.
So there you have it: Me? a clump of stardust wandering about on planet Earth for some 100 years (that's my plan at least) and then returning to the universe as dust from whence I came. And so are you. What a great 100 years it can be though. Health is important too and I strive to live a healthy lifestyle, while treading softly on the earth so future generations can enjoy it as much as I have.
BTW, my son is temporarily at home till he starts his chiropractic business in August in San Juan Capistrano, so it's not a long term arrangement (he's at his girl friend's house most of the time anyway).
Namaste
Meet single man from United States. I'm an accomplished, conscientious professional who retired. I was in the occupational safety and health area for over 30 years, but now I do volunteer work. I enjoy living in comfort, but luxury isn't that important. I'm fundamentally curious and I keep my mind working as much as I can. I have an artistic side that I use whenever I can - I like to use it in the volunteer work I do. I like classic rock (107.7 The Bone), soft rock (KOIT), jazz, classical and baroque, bluegrass, Sousa marches and some ethnic music. I like all sorts of movies. I really liked "Bernie" and "Avatar." I also like classic sci-fi: "Them," "The Thing" (James Arness as The Thing), "Forbidden Planet", "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (Michael Rennie as Klatu), etc. I love "Mad, Mad...World".
I set out to make the world a better place and I feel good when I accomplish something in that direction. I'm into politics trying to make the world better - Republicans will either hate me or find me a challenge. But I never got into the 60s scene. I don't follow trends!
My perfect relationship would be with someone warm who I could trust and confide in and who would see me in a similar light. This person would be someone I could go to the movies, shows, and museums with and, especially, travel with. We would share curiousity and a desire to discover new things - together.
