Date a man from United States. I am a writer and I fancy a sense of humor in my very old age...but, I crawl into a wetsuit and body surf, still function up and ready, except for a bad shoulder from a recent cycling accident. Truck ran me off the highway in Sacto. I could buy the farm tomorrow or live another thirty years, and will give a 500,000.00 life insurance policy to my honey when the time comes. Yes, it;s a bribe. You must have your own income, and you can move in for a week at a time, but must leave me on good terms and not jump in the sack with someone else because you feel neglected, are angry or just a wonton slut. You can be a wonton slut, but you must by my wonton slut. I like a beautiful female body lying next to me when we are both at our peaks for the day. Sex is important, but lingering eye contact and gentle touch is also great. I'd like you to be somewhat of a follower. What I like to do must please you, so if I wanted to walk the beach with you, or hear an opera in SB, I expect my love to say: Perfect Superman, I"ll fly with you...or walk. I cannot stress how physical a man of my intellectual superiority is visually. If you come to my lair, you should drop clothes and look good as you hang with me. I on the other hand I like to wear a swim suit or a towel. I"m an artist and thusly have a propensity for looking. I appreciate with my eyes. This is why this dating service for me is such a long shot. And convrsely why if she exists will be perfect for me. I am a Mensan so high IQ goes without saying. If this bothers you, or you feel inferior, so what? Only two percent of people in world are smarter than I am. So they say. I think I am dumb as a rock. I guess a fear I have is falling for someone and then being left. Even at my ancient age my feelings are as tender as a dumb teenager. Let's see if I can give you a feel for a day at the beach with yours truly: Let's say its our first date. We meet at Von's in Carpinteria and check each other out and you go holy crap this guy is an old fart. I look at you and say, this is too good to be true, will she really take off her shorts and change into my shorty wetsuit in my living room?
You have to like coffee so we buy Starbucks. Then kind of self consciously climb into your car, or mount our bikes, or walk through town to the beach. You are Mimi from LaBoeme and your candle has gone out but I am going to light it for you again. Most of the time I am silent, so if this bothers you not to talk, find an excuse to leave and godspeed to you. If you can take the silence, with an occassional grunt, things will develop well. We stop at my rental and enter to change into suits or wet suits depending on the water temp. Your bady is more beautiful than I could imagine and I stand amazed you are real when I look at myself in the mirror. Who is that old man in my apartment? I make French roast and we fill cups and head out with chair, umbrella, towels and snacks for a day of sun and sand. I have bought an exceptional wine for you, and although I do not imbibe, this does not bother you. I must take vicodin for shoulder pain. You are either a water or earth sign. Pisces and libra work well with me. Although I have dated all signs, but cannot tolerate a Leo. Sorry.
Symbolically, an earth sign allows herself to absorb water. Cute, but my experience tells me this is accurate or one damn big coincidence. Tired of the ocean and sand, we head back, climb the spiral staircase to the shower and wash each other off. We end up in bed for the next several hours. You realize that my woman and her happiness is my primary concern in the BR..or shower, or woods. Hugh Hefner with no money. Remember that. We could also have a rule that there is not sex for the first ten dates. At this point, we are happy with each other and think YEH-ah, or there is no future. If there is a measure of enjoyment, a friendship could develop like walk buddies, or cycle buddies. Try to think total package however. This too open for you? You're not he

Meet someone special from California, United States. I moved to Menlo Park when I retired in 2005 to be near my two daughters and their families. I love the area and the weather, the proximity to Stanford and S.F., and having the time and flexibility to take advantage of this great location. I go to the gym 5 days a week, play golf once or twice a week, read a lot, and enjoy music, art, athletic and cultural events. I take each of my granddaughters (2.9 and 6.5 yrs. old) one afternoon a week, and it's a joy to be part of their lives on such a regular basis.
I am humorous, intelligent, loving, honest, ethical, active, positive, and kind. My goal as a headmaster of two independent schools for 30 years was always to help each student and faculty member become confident, productive, and successful individuals and engaged and supportive members of the school community.
I hope to connect with a woman who likes who she is, enjoys what she does, takes care of herself, is interested in the world around her, is physically active and mentally acute, and wants to be in a relationship with a man based on caring, affection, honesty, and respect. Also, it would be nice if she played golf, liked to travel to warm climates, and had family as her most important priority.

Date single man from California, United States. I am well put together, polite, kind, attentive, considerate, interesting and intelligent,(and modest?). I am interested in listening to other people. I am active, read a lot, exercise, and belong to both a breakfast group and a mans group. I have a good sense of humor, and love to make my family and friends laugh. - Please note: I do not respond to winks. Sorry. I learned this from the women on this site.
I like dining out, good conversations, intelligent women, walking, movies, and sometimes just staying home with a good movie or book. I enjoy plays (highlight: seeing Bernadette Peters on Broadway in “A Little Night Music” by Peter Sondheim), and Porgy and Bess. My musical tastes include Pavarotti, Andrea Bocceli (saw him in L.A), and Celine Deon. I also like to dance (swing and country). If you don't, that's OK.
My children are well on their own, and it is time to find someone special. Just one good one is all I ask for. I am faithful. I have resumed working out, joined a yoga group, cut my hair (twice), grew 2 inches (not really), and bought decorative plants and new furniture for my 3-bedroom condo. put in a plank floor. I was taking fencing lessons, but shoulder arthritis stopped that. I fenced 45 yrs ago, and was also a pole vaulter and ran track and cross country.
I really enjoy traveling and have visited Europe (Italy, Spain, France, England, with my daughter) and parts of Canada, Greece, Turkey, and Israel. I plan to travel more. I’m particularly interested in returning to Barcelona or parts of Portugal, but also really like N.Y. and S.F, parts of N.M., and the raucous cowboy dance bars in Prescott, AZ. If you have never traveled abroad, that's OK. Never to late to start.
I had two careers, first as a U.S. Probation and Parole Officer for the Central District of California and later as an investigator/report writer for the Public Defender, Ventura, CA. Working in the criminal justice system did not harden me; it informed and softened me. Now I work part time at the Carpinteria library. Sometimes it seems like a fast food restaurant, but with books instead of food, with faced-paced, brain-challenging activity. I am always finding new books to read and movies to watch. I enjoy talking with local patrons and visitors alike. I also appreciate the camaraderie with my female co-workers (I am the only male) who like to give me instruction… which I cheerfully accept, since they really like me. Try coming by the Carpinteria library in the afternoons on Wed., Fri and Saturdays, after 1:00 pm.
I have two children. My daughter is an attorney in N.Y. (graduated from Stanford and N.Y.U.) and my son is in group insurance (graduated from Westmont). I love them dearly -- when they were born and put into my arms I said, "So this is love."
I have twice studied to be a master hypnotist, and twice I did nothing with it. - same for real estate - they are simply interests. I have river rafted in the American River near Sacramento, with my kids and friends, and in the Russian River in Idaho.
Looking for: Intelligence, patience, kindness, love, touching, hugging, cuddling, someone to travel with, a loving companion. Sometimes I view myself as an ordinary guy, who has been blessed with some luck, good fortune, and good experiences.
Sometimes even the worst times and experiences turn out to be good stories--that can be embellished a bit and even made
funny. I have the attitude, if going through a difficult period, that it may be rough/difficult, but it sure is interesting.
