Date men and women from United States / California, 66 year old - page 14

Date men and women from California, United States. What I value most in life is kindness and humility. Although I enjoy intellectual discussions, performing music and reading, it is a good heart that I am most drawn to. I love to play guitar and sikus (Andean panpipes) and especially enjoy accompanying singers, flautists, or other instrumentalists. Music is a huge part of my life as are love and laughter. For me life is all about love, pure and simple. I'm very open to a wide variety of people whether in relationships or friendships. Again, it's all about being loving and humble.
My spirituality is very important to me and I'm crazy about my kids. Social justice is very important to me and I raise these kinds of topics in my classes. I like to feed homeless people, speak publicly and debate.
I'm super open regarding a person to be in a relationship with. My education stressed being nonjudgmental and I try very hard to listen without judging and to gel along with all kinds of folks.

Date people from California, United States. I am a warm, loving person who cares about the wellfare of others. I would like very much someone who respects and takes care of their body and mind. I have a strong Christian social justice ethic and believe that we are called to help those less fortunate than us. I've worked at feeding the homeless and have done prison ministry. Politically, I am a maverick. I love my adult children and look out for their welfare.
I would like to find someone who is also warm, loving and giving of themselves who likes to have fun but doesn't play emotional games with the affection and feelings of others.
I was married for 40 years until my wife died of ovarian cancer in July of 2007. It has devastated me, but I am just now starting fo come out of the fog. I loved being married and committing my life totally to someone. I was a good husband and miss the intimacy and give and take of a lifelong relationship.
I earn enough money, but don't let that and other material things take first place with me. I would like to be with someone who also works, is comfortable enough, but understands that the things that last are not material. Love and caring must be the priority.
I am a sensual person, have loads of passion and am comfortable with my own body. I would like someone who is not afraid of intimacy and can delve deeper into a relationship when the time is right.
I feel that I am intelligent and can converse on just about any subject. I like politics, religion, music and the arts. I am also a good listener and genuinely care about what others think and feel.

Having been egotistically driven to achieve my personal vision, I can now begin to generously turn my devotion to the dreams of others. Having spent a life pursuing unorthodox answers, I have mischievously vanquished categories and simplistic self-limiting categories.
But perhaps I could best be summed up as a Buddhist Warrior. The following quote, which is an excerpt from Rob Brezsny's Free Will Astrology, explains.In Tibetan Buddhism's "Four Dignities of the Warrior's Path, courage and ferocity are absent. In fact, the qualities regarded as essential have nothing in common with the training regimens of football players or Marines or lobbyists. The first dignity is literally translated in English as meekness, but that word doesn't convey its full meaning. "Relaxed confidence" is a more precise formulation. A humble feeling of being at home in one's body. Perkiness, or hard-earned, unabashed joy, is the second dignity. To develop it, the warrior diligently drives out the self-indulgence of cynicism. The third is outrageousness. It combines a delight in daring experiments with a passionate objectivity that is free of hope The fourth dignity is inscrutability, or a skill at evading the pigeonholes and simplistic definitions that might limit the warrior's inventiveness while fighting for his or her moral vision.
i am attracted to gifted women who can run with the Wolves. If they can dance with the sensual fury and abandonment of an angry goddess then i'm like a moth drawn to a burning flame. The women in my life usually have a clever improvisational mind that requires the intellectual stimulation of books, theatre, poetry and foreign movies. Non-linear thinking is not only a plus but appreciated. My ideal woman has an active moral sense of justice, a political rebel perhaps, who will not lamely succumb to the patriarchal phallic-centric value system of the dominant pop-culture machine. She would also be embracing of my existing family of women friend/dancers. And oh yes, I'm partial to tall women adn dancers, To such a woman I might happily commit myself and offer her financial freedom to puruse her artistic dreams.
just to clarify my never being married. I did have a friend lover over 14 years where I was contentedly monogamous. She was as well. But she broke off our friends with benefits when she realized I woud be moving to SD. We remain friends. But during the many years we were together, i continued to expand my family of women friend through dance which brought out too much jealousy which also was a factor in her decision. So you could say I was married without the confinement of a legal contract; making the continuation of our intimacy a decision we could make freely every week

Meet a man from California, United States. I am a casual person with a sense of humor that is a young 66. I can be very talkative and sometimes not so much, depending on the subject, company or situation. I have been retired from teaching for over a year and do miss the interaction with the kids, therefore I have been subbing once in a while. I also do a little volunteering(I would rather help other people than help myself), work in a ceramic studio and exercise every other day. I'm a 49ers, Giants and Sharks fan. I'm not in to fancy food(especially cheeses) and my preferences would probably lie on the plainer side, although I do like barbeque, Mexican, Italian, Chinese, Cajun, etc. foods.
I have not dated(I would prefer thinking of it as getting together w/ someone rather than dating.) in quite a long time and feel this might be the right time to start up again, now that I have time on my hands. I hear that some people get set in their ways when they get older, but not me(ha, ha). I know w/ this Match thing I will be pretty picky, but I expect you will be too.
My ideal match? I won't know till I meet her, but:
It would be nice to meet someone with a good sense of humor, and that I have similar interests with, but also treasures some alone time once in a while. I really appreciate someone that is positive and respectful to all. Physical attraction fits in there someplace, but not to the extent that it was when I was "growing up". The key for me is to get to know the person for who they really are, share things we enjoy together and be able appreciate the little things.

Date men and women from United States. My favorite time is spent with close friends having long, intimate and intelligent conversations , laughing at our own absurdities and supporting each other throught the trials and tribulations of life. I am most passionate about openness, honesty, self awareness, and compassion for the human experience. My friends share these values with me, thus allowing ourselves to be truly who we are with each other and without judgement.
I spend a lot of time hiking in Nature, as I live high up on the mountain with access to all of the trails on Mt. tamalpais just out of my front door without having to get into a car to reach them. I am grateful for the fact that I am in excellent health and physical condition which allows me to take advantage of all that the Bay Area has to offer.
I love music and dancing, from Dub Step to Fox trot, and have been studying Jazz Piano for about 5 years although I am not even close to being ready for prime time. A movie lover, I'd rather stream films in the comfort of my home rather than go out to the movies even if it means waiting a while to see the new films. On the other hand I love going out to listen to live music of all kinds from the classical to rock and roll, but most especially Jazz.
As a practicing psychiatrist, a Jungian Psychoanalyst specializing in long term psychotherapy rather than drug treatments, and with a deep interest in the Unconscious, I have been invited to be a consultant at several contemporary Psychedelic Music festivals both in the U.S. (Burning Man) and abroad (Boom, Portugal) helping folks through difficult "bad trips" without resort to medications.
I have travelled extensively in Europe and Asia, including several treks in the India and Nepal Himalayas. I speak French almost fluently after a few weeks in Paris, and I can get by in Italian as well. I love hiking between the hill towns of Tuscany in the Spring.
Although not religious, I practice Vipassana meditation somewhat regularly and I deeply respect Buddhist Philosophy and values.
I am looking for a committed relationship with an independant someone who shares similar values to those implied above and who wants a loyal loving and sensual partner.

Meet single man from United States. I'm a lucky guy. I was born in a town in Iowa that was too small for a zip code. In fact, both city limit signs were on the same pole. So they up a mirror to make the place look bigger. At birth I was so ugly the doctor slapped my mother and the puppy wouldn't even play with me. Eventually mother decided I was cute. I had a perfect Huck Finn Midwest childhood. No regrets. But fortunately I escaped mother, her dog, and those cold midwest Winters. I roamed the globe and visited every continent. Twice.
I spend my summers in Jackson Hole. I hike, bike, fly fish, play tennis, and build houses. I work out everyday. I still ski black diamonds and have a lifetime pass at Snowbird. In my spare time I write poetry, short stories and produce travel videos. Australia and Costa Rica are annual destinations. Last July I was hiking and biking in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. In November it was China. In May I cruised to Ireland and Scotland. Cuba in October. Then the Nile, then Tibet.
I repeat, I'm a lucky guy. Though I blew high school I managed to earn a Ph.D. from a real university where I majored in Child Psych. (Maybe that's why I never had kids.) Over the years I pursued numerous careers and ended up doing corporate mergers. In dealing with corporate CEO's the Ph.D. in Child Psych finally paid off. I made a lot of money and didn't blow it. Now I find myself in perfect healtlh, with no debt, money in the bank, no addictions, no kids, no bitter ex's, no hangups. I'm free to do what ever I want when ever I want. What I want is a mate. A partner. An equal. A lover. A best friend. A travel companion. A wife? I don't date women half my age to boost my ego. I'm not into "one night stands." We've all been there. I aint goin back.
Is there a woman out there who isn't a slave to fashion, makeup, Isn't tied to a dustmop dog, a 9 to 5 office job, or kids who should have left home years ago? Someone free of baggage from failed relationships, broken hearts, and lovers who cheated. Someone who doesn't think Match is a boy toy candy store? A woman who actually likes men and isn't angry? A woman who is serious about falling in love with a man?
I'm looking for a woman who can appreciate who I am and not be hell bent on changing me. Not a Stepford wife but a woman who, like me, has the confidence, independence, brains, and resources to be free. A woman mature enough not to change into someone else yet young enough to join in a very active life filled with good friends and quit nights at home punctuated by adventure and travel. A woman who doesnt want to control or be controled. Someone willing to share new adventures and enjoy old comforts.
I'm looking for the last love of my life. A woman to adore. In return I'll be your best friend. I'll inspire you to be all that you can be.
The most beautiful woman in the room. Sexy, confident, invincible. I'll call you every day we're apart. I won't lie or cheat.
The first few pictures are current. That's me. WARNING. I look better in my photos than I do in person. A life in the sun has left wrinkles. Ok, I'm not Brad PItt. But he's taken. Put a bag over my head if you must, but I dance and bring home flowers. All the guys say they look way younger than their age. But I do. And I feel and act even younger. I don't dye my hair or take pills. I can keep UP with any 40 year old.
So....are you fit? Are you healthy? Are you financially secure? Do you really love travel? Can you hit the road without spending an hour in the bathroom? Are you free? My definition of free? Google the words "be free too"

Date someone special from United States. So, obviously, I'm not quite ready yet to go totally live, to post pictures or to start communicating. This (like me and all of the rest of us, if I may say so) is a work in progress - the early stages is how I'm feeling about it right now.
Then, I decided, why not post right here, out in the open, the stuff that I'm writing/the drafts that I'm working with as I try to figure out how best to express myself here. Sound a little obcessive or perfectionistic? Well, maybe it is. Or maybe it's just the way I'm going to enjoy the early part of this process.
In the interest of perspective please keep in mind everything I'm writing in these sections is true at least it's true at the moment that I write it. But, this is not like Venus being born fully adult and beautiful from the head of Zeus. If only, right? Also, some of the basic/statistical/personal ID info is a little off the mark; it will be corrected when I'm ready to post pictures and start communicating.
That all having been said and on the perhaps unlikely assumption that you even care anymore, here we go.
The Bsd - Things are not always as they seem. An observation that probably goes without saying on a dating site. On the other hand, I tend to treat what we could easily call the disappointments as if they were entertaining surprises - little vignettes that are really harmless and which give us glimpses of (sometimes omitted from our profiles) aspects of the human condition.
The Good - It’s way too easy to forget that “things aren’t always as they seem” has plenty of room for the delightfully surprising, too. The stuff about each other that we would never have guessed and which we find out only when we meet or after a few face-to-face conversations. Somewhere along the line (we all hope) there will be the surprise that will make us want to come back for more. And more.
Might I be that kind of surprise for you? And you for me?
I talk too much.
I hope that at least some of the time you will think that I have interesting things to say.
I am an excellent listener.
I strive to understand.
I weigh too much. Ooops! Wasn't planning on saying that. Promise that all of the pictures that I post will accurately show how I look now as opposed to 10 years ago.
I have lived with Golden Retrievers, usually 2 at a time, for so long (since 1960) that in many ways, I think I may have become one, myself. This is a good thing. Plus, I don't shed.
I had a 25 year long career/avocation/love affair with flying that was almost beyond magical. I don’t concede much and not very easily to the consequences of aging but, over the course of a couple of years, I found that I was loosing some of the edge, mental sharpness, intense and unremitting focus that I want the pilot of any aircraft I’m traveling in to have. FAA said that I was good to go and so did my doc. But, I knew better and so, I made the call because I have only one *.
I have big time needs to give and to receive loving - to listen and to understand, to be heard and to be understood.

Meet a man from United States. Retired and finally doing things on "my" schedule. Travel when I get a chance - like shorter drive vacations and getaways verses long haul Europe or abroad. Have no baggage (no pun intended). So much to discover in our own backyard! Willing to try anything new within reason (no bungee jumping, skydiving I did as a teenager). Twenty years from now I'll be more disappointed by the things I didn't do than the things I did. Besides, some of the best things in life have been total mistakes.
Am looking for a lady that is well grounded and still curious to explore anything different if it arises. Open to new ideas, not set in her ways. Few things would excite me more than a great adventure with someone special. If you are curious about the world around you, can take a joke and not be easily offended, believe that sarcasm is the spice of life, can spell and are generally happy, the rest is negotiable. Coffee or a glass of wine and talk would be fine for a first get together.
