Date men from United States / California / Calistoga, 60 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. (INACTIVE AS OF JUNE 19. Although I can view portions of the site I cannot answer e-mails or see much of anything. Maybe next time...)
I like to think of myself as a honorable, hard working man dedicated to living the most rewarding life that I can.
I am looking for an intelligent, self assured woman who knows who she is and what she wants in life. Someone who is not afraid of intimacy or emotional involvement- a best friend, a lover and a mate.
There are obviously no guarantees in life much less on Match.com, but what I am looking for here is a long term relationship. I am truly sincere about finding a partner, so if you have a similar interest and also enough time available in your life to cultivate a meaningful relationship, then please do contact me.

Meet a man from California, United States. I desire a woman having some of these traits: attractive/beautiful inside and out; smart, together mentally and physically; accomplished, spirited and lively, spiritual but not necessarily religious; funny and fun loving, good communicator, nature and music-loving woman who likes to dance; affectionate, caring and true, "the right chemistry" meaning it doesn’t take a lot of effort to get along; spiritual and physical lover; a friend-companion-lover; likes world travel; person to share dreams and goals with; with the potential of being a life-time partner.
I have lived three-quarters of my life in country and rural settings. I lived in Calif. 26 years, 6 years in Washington and 25 years in Kodiak, Alaska. I now live north of Calistoga and east of Santa Rosa in California.
I have two college degrees and have published scientific articles and photographs. I wrote and illustrated a seashore booklet for Olympic National Park. My name is S. Forrest Blau and if you type my name into Goggle you will see some of my king crab research publications. I retired when I was 49 and am enjoying retirement and would love to share my life with someone special.
I am well traveled having been in 49 of the 50 States and Puerto Rico. Also I have been in about 30 countries. Since 2002 I have been in Chile, Ecuador (Galapagos Islands), Peru, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda.
I have gone through some of the best museums in the world. I have a great appreciation for art, jewelry and a variety of music. I am 6'1" tall,h 210 lbs. Although a big person now I was small for my age for 22 years so I do not have a big person or bully attitude. I have never hit a woman. I practice safe sex and have no sexually transmitted diseases based on recent lab results. I try to put the woman’s sexually needs first during love making. My hair is shoulder length and I wear it in a pony-tail, its salt and pepper in color, and I wear glasses. I was married for 9 years and had a girlfriend for 15 years, no children. I have been athletic most of my Iife (cross country, tennis, basketball and scuba dving) but now have an added waistline (love handles) which I am working on reducing. I went to the 1972 Olympic Games as a spectator. I still like to dance and hike some, and scuba dive in tropical areas. Nature photograph is my hobby and I may try to sell or publish some of my photos in the future.
I live on a 2,000 acre ranch, just north of Calistoga and east of Santa Rosa, California. It is truly awesome. I am one of 7 family member owners. My current goal is to get my own parcel and build a home here when the timing is right in the future. Of course location could change with a new partner. If you ever wanted to explore this ranch with me you could, there are 3 lakes to swim or fish in, unlimited hiking or camping opportunities. If and when you are ready we could get together here or any place you want to meet. You can write forever but still you will not really know someone until you meet them in person to see if you get the right feelings and match or not.
Looking forward to your response.
