Date people from California, United States. I'm happily retired, financially secure and in great health. I can do just about anything I want to do physically. I've had a condo in San Diego since 2001 and keep a home near Seattle where I worked and lived most of my life. I'm mostly in San Diego in winter and mostly in Seattle in summer but I fly down to San Diego a lot in summer too.
My travel experiences the past four years include extended trips to Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Scotland, England,. Norway, Spain, and Portugal. I've had great experiences in all the countries I have visited and hope to see more places before too long.
I'd try a long distance relationship if there was sustained contact part of the time. I'm independent and responsible but capable of forming healthy attachments.
Although I play golf a lot and enjoy the challenge of trying to improve at the game, I have other interests. I've had a tendency toward intense interests and worked hard and was quite responsible through my adult life, although at this time I am a lot more spontaneous and might seem nomadic. I'm well educated in an academic sense but self taught in other areas like carpentry and investing.
I have time and would like to travel more with the right companion. I've done trips abroad by myself and would happily travel with someone if I met a compatible traveling companion interested in going to the same destination(s). I am interested in travel to Asia, probably China and Japan.
I'm definitely open to women from different ethnic groups and like multi-cultural and cross-cultural experiences.
I'd like to meet someone in good health who takes good care of herself with hobbies and interests compatible with mine. I'd like to meet an open minded woman with a social philosophy that involves personal responsibility in her own life and respect and compassion for others.
Meet single man from California, United States. Single man who is divorced. Have a 20 year old daughter who is a junior at Barnard College in NYC. She is quite extraordinary. I have been involved in the movie industry for 40 years, at one time being the president of a major studio. I also have produced some movies. I am looking for a woman with a great personality, enjoys life, and wants to be with someone who is equally passionate about having a good time. I live alone with my dog, except when my daughter comes home to visit, as she will in August, before the fall semester. I have traveled extensively, and would love to have a companion who go with me. Even though I am older, I am quite energetic, enthusiastic, and act much younger than my age. I am looking for someone in shape, pretty, sexy, age doesn't matter, who is good conversationalist.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I’m an old fashion guy. I open doors for women and people older than me, although the latter are getting fewer and fewer. Flowers are great for saying I care about you or I’m sorry. I try not to take myself too seriously and enjoy being around people with a similar approach. I like being outdoors and enjoy outdoor sports like golf and skiing although I’m not particularly good at either. I enjoy hiking and fishing. My favorite fishing spot is anywhere in Alaska. Away from work, I like to relax and take life easy. At home, I try not to let the small stuff bug me, after all a rainy day is just an excuse to read a good book or see a movie. I like doing things for those I care about. I can spend hours looking for a special gift. I like to make people laugh.
I grew up in Pennsylvania and have worked and lived in Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, Texas, and Arizona. I have spent some time overseas including working out of Scotland, a brief stint in Australia and several months in Iran. Now I’m rooted in the west and except for trips to see family and friends, prefer to stay west of the Rockies. Somehow snow in the Sierras seems much nicer than slush in Pennsylvania. I wouldn’t mind getting back to Australia and would love to visit New Zealand.
Family is very important to me. I enjoy my two sons, who presently live at home. My oldest has enlisted in the Navy and heads for basic training in November, then to Charleston where he will be in the Navy’s nuclear program. My youngest is home until January when he heads back to college. He had a very good time at last school year and apparently didn’t did waste a lot of time doing mundane things like attending class so he is sitting out a semester. His girlfriend came out this summer and he is highly motivated to get back to Colorado and do well. After January it’s just Joe, my Siberian Husky and me.
I enjoy my job, which involves overseeing construction and engineering projects in the LA Area and Hawaii. While my projects are south, I spend most of my time in the Bay Area.
I’m looking for someone who is laid back, active, has a good sense of humor and is affectionate. Good communications are key. If I say or do something wrong I would like to know what I did or said and not wonder why you are upset. I’m looking for a long term relationship and believe that can only happen with good communications. I’m flexible and like to try new things although opera is probably out. If you play golf or ski that is great. If you enjoy watching sports, live is better than TV, that’s a plus but not a requirement. Enjoying walks and dining out at quite restaurants is also a plus.
Date a soulmate from California, United States. Opposites attract but alike sticks to gather. Maybe someone who is just like me would do for a start. Saying that is the easy part, what it means will start showing up right away.
So who I am for her is a stand for her greatness, love and patience.
She can be the same for me.

Date people from United States. to new to this scene to give answer, but those who know me well know me to be honest to a vault. See myself as realistic versus pessimistic. Have been successful in life to enjoy a lot of free time. Try to take care of my self as I have been a diabetic for twenty years now. I do not believe in organized religon, but have no problem with anyone how does.
Meet single man from United States. I am a nice guy but macho enough to cause excitement. I am a romantic, believe in chivalry, and always put the toilet seat down. I believe it is better to learn to dance in the rain than to always be waiting for sunshine. AND - just fill the darn glass!
My sense of humor is a bit offbeat and I know the smarter you are, the funnier I am. If a man is all alone in the woods and no one is there to hear him, is he still wrong? I love short jokes - what do you call a boomerang that wont come back?
My children are important to me, as are all children. My daughter the lawyer and I have gone father-daughter camping every year since she was little (she is 36 now) and it's great quality time with the benefit of nature's wonders. One time we broke tradition and I taught her how to gamble at Fox Wood in Conn (at her request and she was cured very quickly). There is also my son the rocket scientist. He has his own planet but gets by on earth. Both are successfully on their own.
My faith defines me and sharing the passion for God is the greatest launching platform for all other passions in life and I see a marriage centered on faith as always exciting - there is always something to talk about, always someplace to go, always someone to help, always something new to share and always a solution. I cannot imagine anything less.
My favorite word is eleemosynary. I have a theory that if we started calling the homeless "eleemosynaries" they would have more dignity and be more empowered with pride. I also think the mind is the greatest sex organ and connecting on the spiritual level that feels the power of the mountains and the oceans and the warmth of the sun on your face is how God designed it to be. Treating sex as a "need" is perhaps the single biggest failing of men.
A relationship is right when a couple walks into a small restaurant in some dinky town along the way and the owners are like your grandparents, the food is spectacular cause they are a retired chefs from europe and you know the collective energy of your coupledom brought you there.
My photos - I belong to three horseriding groups (its a male bonding thing), I am addicted to Sprint car racing (I no longer drive, just watch) - my Bora Bora site, also a retired technical river rafter. I am not an adreniline junky - just missing that brain circuit that says something may not be a good idea,
My match needs to love God, be able to explore new places, be romantic, have a good sense of humor, be happy, be positive, be intelligent, be senuous and be looking for a permanent relationship that squeals noises only dogs can hear. She feels the power of nature, is nice, loving, caring, supportive, sane, emotionally stable, easy going, cultured, wear jeans and get dirty, wear gowns and stay clean, drink a beer, drink wine, make pancakes, discuss world events, travel well, and be in love with me like Bogey and Bacall. (Id be Bogey). There is some wiggle room on the wine, beer and pancakes, something with whipped cream works too.
Date a man from United States. A native Californian who has enjoyed a full life and believes the best is yet to come. I am seeking to meet a special lady to join me in my journey. Family and friends are an important part of my life. I am energetic, fun loving, and enjoy the outdoors and a healthy lifestyle. If you meet me you will soon discover that I am honest, courteous, and respectful. It is alright if we don't have the same exact interests because what is important is that we enjoy each others company. When we are together it's magical.
I am attracted to a companion who enjoys the comforts of home; preparing a meal together and enjoying a quiet evening watching a movie or listening to music. We enjoy going out with each other or with friends. While I am most comfortable in blue jeans, khakis or shorts (no earrings or gold necklaces for me), I also enjoy dressing up and interacting with people in group settings.
Exercise and outdoor activities are an important part of my life. Active walks are preferred over the treadmill. I love music and enjoy dancing. I also enjoy concerts in intimate settings, the theatre, movies, and wine club events.
I have chosen a dating service for the first time because I don't want to leave meeting the right person to chance. All photos are current. I realize that completing this profile is necessary, however, I would rather find out more about you than write about myself.
Meet someone special from United States. I am a true Romantic
Successful clothing business owner for many years. I enjoy the Arts and Cultural Events. I always make the time to really enjoy life and would like someone to share it with me.
I am looking for someone to share the joys and whatever life holds. Must have a sense of humor, a tender heart and family values, a sense of quiet adventure, a women who loves animals, (I have 2 rescue cats), and has great legs gets extra points... I am easy to be with and have a killer smile.
My new hobby is oil painting, learning to play Mah jong, play golf.
My ideal match is slim or petite, full of life with a desire to laugh, travel, dance, live life to the fullest. Warm tender, caring with a sense of herself and a sense of humor.Willing to share all of life's treasures and endless pleasures. Has family values and a tender heart.
Date a soulmate from United States. Old guy in years but not in heart. I have always worked. But now I've retired. I umpire baseball games to make extra money and to keep busy. Professional (R.N) from East Coast. Raised Catholic went to Catholic schools now cured of Catholicism and any "religion". That doesn't mean you can't be religious. Graduate UC Berkeley and UC S.F. Left home @ 18 to work in El Salvador. Was in the Navy/Marines at one point as a medic.
Still in shape, no illnesses, walk 4-5 miles several times a week (14 minute miles). Still can move around the baseball field with the high school and college kids.
I have noticed that there are those who worry about the "currenty seperated" designation. Well, I was never married to the mother of my children but we were together for 30 years. So now that we are apart, for years, I never considered it a divorce. But to make me more attractive(?) I will say divorced.
I'd like to meet someone who is interested in friendship leading to possible love and who understands that looking for a marriage partner takes time. She would be Asian or from the Islands preferably. That doesn't mean that is a limiting factor. For some reason I prefer smaller women. But I'm not small and it is not a big deal.
I don't care what her interests are. We can share and learn. Except if you're a religious person and you try to push your religion I have no problems with your beliefs. No Republican/conservative would work. I graduated from Berkeley.
I need someone who has fun and can relax and likes to spend time with the person they care about. Someone who can take away the lonliness that sometimes sets in. Especially when I see other couples.
Mostly, I like someone who is honest and not secretive and shares her life. And she can't be looking for a sugar daddy. My money is committed to my sons as long as they need help. I still have one son in an expensive college.
I'm not into extravagant "brand name" things and I hope she would not be too. I like a smart woman who shares her ideas and listens to my ideas too. As you can see I need someone who would look past any spelling errors that the computer may have made.
Thanks for reading. Hope to hear from you.
Meet men and women from United States. I think my friends would describe me as being honest individual with a good sense of humor and a mostly positive outlook on life. I believe they would say I'm loyal, but I don't make close friends easily. I like exploring new to me places and going out to dinner, movies, music or play performances and I really enjoy music festivals, I.E. California World Fest, Strawberry Music Fest. My love of music led me to become a volunteer DJ on a community radio station. I don't play an instrument, but love to listen. I feel I've become much more comfortable with myself lately and look for someone that is also and shares some of my interest. I am looking for someone that is willing to take things as it comes and see where it takes us. Ideally that would mean we would be trusting friends that share many common irterest and a passion for each other.
