Date men from United States / California / Castro Valley, 46 year old

Date single man from Castro Valley, United States. I'm hoping for a great connection leading to a long term relationship. My view is it doesn't matter how we met, so long as it happens. I am the type of guy who really wants to get to know you. I'm not looking for short term.
I am 46, no kids, not married. If I am outside your preferred age range, I still hope you consider talking with me. I am in perfect health, look and feel young. In fact, I am in better physical shape now than when I was 19. Maybe I am aging in reverse!
The profile choices for having kids or not do not provide room for explanation so I will say something about that here. I am open to it. It is not a "must have" for me. It is entirely dependent on the situation.
Some of my interests include finding places I have never been before, exploring and ending up knowing I found the right place to be that day. I like learning about world cultures. Whatever language you speak, I will try and figure it out. I also love cooking (and no, I do not watch food network. I don't even have a TV). My passion in life is finding good music. I am currently trying to learn how to swim but it is not going so well. I gave up yoga for that reason. I just can't do it so why pretend, right?
I go to the gym regularly (it does not matter to me if you do). I also used to be more active in animal rescue as a volunteer. I wish I had the space to do more fostering. I have done standup comedy but I don't do that regularly either.
I am currently employed and pretty good at what I do in the technology industry but my world is not driven by money, status, or other people's expectations. I am more interested in life outside of work. I work to live not live to work!
Qualities in a woman I find appealing include substance and sincerity. Someone’s heart and personality intrigue me more than their outward appearance. Ultimately, it's chemistry that will determine if we get along, enjoy conversation with each other and want to keep it going. It’s not our physical stats or what we think we want from a partner that will make something click. Life is all about taking the right sort of chances on the unexpected.

Meet a soulmate from Castro Valley, United States. Looking for the right woman to spend time with and eventually start a family. I enjoy hiking, movies, good restaurants, and good times with family and friends. I am polite, kind, and intelligent, and fiercely loyal to my dreamgirl.
