Date men and women from United States / California / Chico, 69 year old

Date single man from California, United States. I am a retired university professor. I grew up in Holland and started a career in the merchant navy and sailed on merchant ships for 3 years in order to see and discover the world. When I turned 22 I discovered what I wanted to do for the rest of my life and emigrated to the US to study forestry and later ecology. I have always loved plants and natural vegetation. While I have traveled and lived abroad a great deal in my life (I have lived in 5 countries), I also love being at home with friends, a good book, a great movie, or some classical music or good jazz. Most importantly I love being with female company.
I am a happy person who loves to laugh, go out with friends, or have them over at my house for a glass of wine, beer, or dinner as I like to cook. I do not suffer from depression, and rarely get angry as I find it damaging to both the other person and to myself. I am even tempered and generous and get along with almost every one, but don't take well to mean (with money besides the other kind), opinionated, and selfish people. I enjoy my male friends for their conversation that is usually focused on the world outside oneself, but enjoy my female friends even more for their views that are more often focused on the world within oneself.
I am affectionate, and greatly value the importance of close friendships. Earlier in my life, life was all about the journey of going forward and outward, now it has become a journey of going forward and inward, towards discovery of both oneself and of others.

Meet men and women from California, United States. Widower seeking someone to share time with, travel, sit quietly at home, talk with openness by sharing person beliefs, experiences and dreams. Someone who enjoys quiet evenings, camping, mountain lakes and streams. Want to travel, both local, road trips and distant places. I'd rather go on multiple trips to a place rather than try to see it all at once. Finding undiscovered or local diners, towns and local celebrations are wonderful experiences. Seeing all our national parks would be a fun goal.
I'm looking for someone to not set the world on fire but to quietly enjoy it everyday.
My friends and family would describe me as loyal and dependable, dedicated to family and friends. I am quiet and prefer to listen and learn. While not necessairly stubborn I do stick to my values and beliefs until I can be convinced otherwise.
I believe relationship needs to be strong enough to accept differences and see differences not as a threat to the relationship but as a strength.

Meet a man from California, United States. Known as a nice guy who is honest, hard working, loving and caring; I am looking for someone who shares my values and looks at life as something to do rather than something to watch. I see open, honest communication as the cornerstone of a long lasting meaningful relationship and would hope you would feel the same. Perhaps most important to me is being with someone who truly does see the glass as half full, or better yet overflowing!! I am not into anger and see it as wasted energy....a smile is better than a frown, and happy is better than sad.
