Date women from United States / California / Berkeley, 68 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm known for my enthusiasm and energy as well as my friendliness and humor. I find that being older now has brought many rewards that I had not necessarily expected, and maybe you have found that true also. In recent years I have developed a spiritual side that I never knew I had.
I'm fairly talkative and can't resist telling or laughing at a good quip that makes everyone laugh. I'm gregarious and truly enjoy being with friends, but also enjoy private time to read, study, work in my garden
I am looking for someone who enjoys sharing ideas as well as activities. That he has a kind and compassionate nature is essential, as is personal integrity.
Here are some of the things I currently enjoy and do regularly: Take classes, go to movies, go to the theater, eat out at places where the food is freshly cooked and prepared with care, take hikes in Tilden Park, practice yoga and pilates, read both fiction and non-fiction, visit and hang out with friends. That being said, I also look forward to meeting someone who has other interests that he would want to share. I'm not a fearful person and quite ready to try anything, at least once.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I'm an irreverent, smart, straight-talking woman iso similar traits in a man. I've traveled a good deal of the world, live in a sweet little cottage in North Berkeley, enjoy good friends, books, travel near and far. My life has revolved around words. I've taught English on several levels, been a magazine editor, food writer, and published 10 novels, primarily funny Southern crime stories, and a dozen short stories. Now, seasonally, I coach teenagers in writing their college admissions essays.
After a Southern Gothic/Southern Baptist/Jewish childhood in northern Louisiana, I've lived large chunks of adult time in Manhattan and the Bay Area, with a long stopover in Santa Fe. I'm most comfortable in cosmopolitan, liberal, worldly places. I'm a Yellow Dog Democrat but not a typical Berkeleyite, i.e., no to bumper stickers, yes to pretty clothes. I'm fit and physically and mentally agile. My photos are recent.
While I can't tell jokes, I do tell great (or so I think) stories. Love good conversation, film, art, art museums, blues, jazz, old rock'n'roll, Mozart horn concerti, wit, irony, NPR, compassion, long walks, though not forced marches, and good bbq. I'm interested in politics; where I grew up it's considered a contact sport, almost bigger than football.
I'd love to share walk/talks, books, weekend road trips, my NYC, great meals, funky cafes, an exploration of every great seafood place in Sicily, that look across a room that says, Nice company, but let's go home, my love.
Enough about me. YOU are smart, strong, and bold, with a wide-ranging sense of humor. You're reasonably physically fit as well as sane, and you plan to stay that way. You're kind, generous in many ways, and mostly patient. Handy is excellent. You're well traveled, or would like to be, have done some interesting things, and nurture a passion or three. Your darling children, if any, are grown or nearly so with lives of their own. You're an independent soul, at home with yourself, at home in the world, and eager to begin a loving relationship with your best friend for the rest of the road.
I don't respond to winks or profiles w/o photos. Thanks.

Date someone special from California, United States. I enjoy family and friends, grew up in a small Midwestern city and still value basic decency in people. My careers in teaching, editing and writing were very satisfying and I continue writing a little-- both some poetry and essays. Humor is a wonderful gift. I look forward to some travel in the future. Literature, history and biographies continue to be very interesting to me. At home I enjoy cooking for friends, gardening and going for walks.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I want a good friend who is respectful and wants to spend time enjoying each others company. I am not looking for marriage, but hopefully a relationship who is confident and open to being adventerous .

Date a woman from United States. I'm a gregarious loner, and like both time together as well as time alone. I enjoy the outdoors, walking or hiking in all kinds of terrain and weather (but not camping), and the indoors--a good reading chair, a comfortable dining table, a kitchen that if not up-to-date is at least chef-friendly.
My tastes are classic--classical literature and classical music, leaning toward essays and poetry and chamber music, especially piano. I enjoy travel, too, especially meeting people. As for film and theater, yes--if it's good!
I'm looking for friendship that can lead to more or else more that makes friendship.

Date a soulmate from Berkeley, United States. I'm living life on the fly. Speeding down the future with lots of devotion to my work, my growth, my dear ones (family, pets and friends) but I need and want the deep and meaningful involvement with a loving partner to share the intimacies and joys of the day. In other words, a reason for it all, you know, the fun part of life. Mixing it up with you, your interests, your family, your friends, your pets. Figuring out what is missing in both of our lives and then inventing that to bring the future into focus. I have a lot to give and share and I am ready and willing. Just add water! I can't outline the particulars of your profile but here are the qualities I admire in men... honesty, compassion, generosity, tenderness and a sense of play ... fun and humor. A deep well of patience and forbearance for all that is wrong in the world but a passionate desire to improve the plight of people on the planet. In other words, committment to causes that are more expansive that just your own wants. How about if you stand up when someone calls out for Mr. Wonderful? Through my work and my life I have met and worked with many such men and now I want my own and I'm game... some doll!
