Date women from United States / California / Camarillo, 57 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm a transplanted New Yorker who moved out here 35 years ago but have some of that east coast mentality still. (and yes...that's a good thing!!) I have two 20 something daughters, and a little Shih Tzu. Looking for someone who wants to have fun and share himself with a partner. Someone who sees life through positive eyes...and can find the positives through any negatives. Definitely someone affectionate and loving and funny and a great listener, as I will be with him. I love to laugh and need someone who wants to do that with me, but can also sit and have great conversations. I definitely am compassionate and sensitive to others feelings and hope to find that same quality in a partner. Also someone who doesn't mind a little sarcasm...who can give as well as receive. Honesty is huge with me. I am honest to a fault and expect the same from my partner. Someone who is absolutely comfortable in his own skin, and who will accept me in mine...I don't want to change anyone...nor should he want to change me. Writing is my passion. I started a comedic blog a couple of years ago and hope to publish a book one day. I know you could never tell I can write from reading this profile...but fiction is my forte! I'm not really fond of writing about myself. There's so much more to explore and talk about... but that can be done one on one...and I'm looking forward to it. (And if you can cook...and make me laugh...you may just be my exit out of on line dating!)

Meet someone special from California, United States. I would describe myself as a no frills kind of woman. I enjoy the simple things in life, ie: eating a veggie burrito while watching a sunset in Santa Barbara, having a martini(or 2) on a Friday evening after work, going to an outdoor concert with the traditional picnic basket w/cheese, fruit, wine and a blanket or walking the boardwalk in Ventura. I would even love just spending quality time with my significant other. My personality is my greatest asset, I'm quick witted, funny and people find me very cute and entertaining. I have an deep affinity for animals and would like my partner to feel the same. Over the years, I've donated to organizations dealing with homeless domestic animals and have rescued some and sought medical treatment and afterwards, provided them with a quality of life and love. I'm a pretty passive person, try not to argue but will stand my ground if necessary. Originally from the East Coast, I know quality. My pet peeve is going to a restaurant, ordering a dish for 28.50 and getting one that's worth 8.50. Other than that...I'm ok with just about anything. I'm definitely a city person, up at the crack of dawn during the week, sleeping until 9:00 on weekends.
My perfect match would be someone with a DYNAMIC personality someone with whom I can feel comfortable letting my hair down, wear big floppy slippers(do not own any), no makeup and we can just sit around laughing, watching TV and doing whatever comes natural. Looks are ok, but I place more emphasis on the personality. My opinion is, you get a guy whose magnificent looking but has a "beige" personality, he's eventually not going to look all that great. BUT...get an average guy with a robust personality that's a real charmer, charismatic, has a twinkle in his eye and a wonderful smile, he's beautiful.. THAT'S MY MAN.
