Meet men and women from Chico, United States. I'm recently re-entering the world of being single.Being a "Type A" person, I have a lot of energy and and have always been social. Been back in Chico since 1982, so this is my home. Went to college here, graduated in 1974, and have raised my two children here. Son [32] and daughter[26] are here in town and independent. I am self-assured in life, confident in my abilities to find happiness again and look forward to the process of discovery in this new life chapter. The desire to travel is paramount and you must possess a current passport to share the future destinations on my bucket list. I'm fortunate to have the ability to enjoy the rewards that my life's hard work have provided. Just need that special person to share them with. I'm a fun-loving, energetic man who has always worked for what I have but is willing to share my passion for life and it's infinite possibilities in the future.

I'm active in my business on a daily basis except when traveling, i work hard, i enjoy playing and coaching softball and i love my time with my children and grandchildren. i enjoy a nice meal, gambling, traveling, or just sitting home and watching t.v.
I'm a throwback to the old fashion type guy, one man one woman. I treat women with respect. I put honesty on the top of my values. I'm looking for someone who is honest and sincere, and someone who shares some if not all of the activities i enjoy. I'm kinda quite and shy.

Meet men and women from Chico, United States. My work as a college professor is enormously gratifying. When students wow me with what they show me they can do, I need to remind myself that I get paid for this job, too. I’m not independently wealthy, so doing it without getting paid for it isn’t an option! I strive for important lessons for my students – to see that when Emerson talks about "skating on the hard surfaces of life" he means not just enduring hard challenges but conquering those challenges gleefully. By "sail with God the seas," Emerson means to embrace spiritual and intellectual adventure and not to be content with the way that life and the world have formed what you are.
I write essays about cinema, which I publish in academic journals and books. I’ve developed a theoretical interest in goofiness. I travel often, and mostly connected with giving presentations at academic conferences. Depending on the destination, I can stay longer in London, New York, or wherever – usually to see movies and art and to share time with a dear friend over a fine dinner or a good stroll.
My writing projects are more inventive than methodological, and hence more like creative writing than scholarly work. The sign of finally having full confidence in an essay is a touch of humor all over it, even if I’m the only one ever to think it’s funny. There are times when I’m intensely absorbed in writing and revising for hours and days on end and impervious to all distractions. Once finished I want nothing better than to cook up a good meal to share with someone dear to me, and to talk for hours. Or go out dancing, with my soul sufficiently lubricated, of course.
Days at home begin with the San Francisco Chronicle (great comics pages!) and the New York Times (no comics) on Sundays, while listening to NPR and sipping coffee. I've lived with hilarious cats for many years. I harbor no illusions about who owns whom when you share a home with felines. Presently, though, I have no pets.
Hundreds of movies count as my favorites. Some recent films that I thought especially interesting: Ic?ar Bolla?n, Even the Rain; Agnieska Holland, In Darkness; Zhang Yimou, The Flowers of War; Werner Herzog, Cave of Forgotten Dreams; Julie Taymor, The Tempest; Joel and Ethan Coen, True Grit; Roman Polanski, Carnage; Terence Davies, The Deep Blue Sea.
I live alone self-reliantly and very contentedly in a lovely house full of light from big windows on every wall. A series of chosen transformations in my life in recent years have opened up new pathways to being able to thrive, and to be healthy and happy.
My friends are mostly academics, writers, and artists but I enjoy people wherever I meet them. I'm always ecstatic meeting people I can connect with. I don't think there's a set of traits that defines who attracts me romantically. The world is full of wonderful people, but they aren't all good matches for each other. The people I admire most are those who have a self-defined purpose in life that means being absorbed in creativity – writing in particular but not exclusively. Being serious about what you do in life is vital, and being able to see it all as funny nevertheless is a sign of contentment and confidence. Taking command of one’s life and health, enjoying of the pleasures of life, and being ever open to change are what I admire. I cherish dear, intense friendship, which can be the basis for something much more important. I love finding out how someone close to me feels and thinks, what makes her happy, what can help her thrive. I'm not looking for a companion to simply while away leisure time with, but someone who has her own engaging interests and purpose, and to tell me all about it .
I especially admire the devoted romanticism of Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing, and that of Robert Kincaid in The Bridges of Madison Co

Date single man from California, United States. I am thoughtful, easygoing, polite, caring and gregarious individual. I believe that being grateful for what you have rather than focusing on what you don't have brings about about greater contentment and happiness. I am decisive and and full of life and energy. I'm very active. I jog, bicycle, swim, work my abs, and lift weights. If you think I may be too old for you just think in Nov 2010, I finished 134th out of 649 runners in the Almond Bow 5K racel.
Fun can be physical or social. My physical fun includes: water skiing, snow skiing, hiking, camping, riding motorcycles, and swimming. I love to SCUBA dive as well. My social fun includes dinners with friends, socializing with friends and family, walking under a full moon, going out to dinner with that special someone, or traveling. I want to do alot more traveling in the future.
I am romantic and enjoy moonlight walks, candle light dinners, slow dancing, watching sunsets, and quiet times with that special person. I want to meet someone that is happy with themselves and would rather read, talk, visit, or socialize rather than watch TV. I want to meet someone who is patience and polite, and can handle life's pressures with peace and tranquility.
I want a woman that is centered, someone I laugh with, hold hands, hug, and dance with. A giving woman who can support me when I have a heavy heart. I will be her foundation and love treating her as a lady...with respect, affection, patience, and active listening. I want to smile when I see that you've texted or emailed me. I want to feel my heart race when I hear your voice, to get butterflies when I see you walk towards me.
My idea of romance is spending time with that special someone, spending time in the kitchen, cuddling in front of a fire or watching a movie, and kissing like a couple of teenagers.
I am a strong, centered, confident, and persistence man that sets high goals. But soft when it requires patience, flexibility, compromise, and love.
I love taking the time to listen and discover your life and have you discover my life.
I'm willing to pursue meeting that someone special and be vulnerability with this venture. I believe we should run towards love and not away from it (even after ending a previous relationship). Why...because love is life's greatest joy!
I'm been told by others that I am the most honest person they have met. I believe that what is truly important life are: simple pleasures coupled with honest and pure emotions surrounded by the majestic beauty of nature.
I am resolutely optimistic. I believe happiness and success comes to those who are grateful and optimistic and I live this way.

Meet men and women from California, United States. I would describe myself as quiet, considerate, compassionate, irreverant about belief systems, and serious about everything, including serious about not taking life too seriously.

I enjoy travelling, but being home with an affectionate mate would also be wonderful. I enjoy the physical plane, including exercise, massage, and profound sensuality. I hope to be challenged in a spirit of friendly debate, and would like to offer the same. I look forward to walks on the beach, gardening, sharing what is important, humor, and loving life despite the occasional pain and disappointment. I find deep pleasure in learning and sharing learning with children of all ages. I enjoy beautiful places in Nature and in the mind. Chemistry needs to be there for us. We will both know if it is.I would like to meet a woman who is bright, thoughtful, open to new ideas, capable of serious intellectual discussions, and yet also able to drop the seriousness and laugh at the absurdity of life. She enjoys giving and getting touch. Physical fitness and a healthy diet would be nice. Some sophistication and integrity about psychological issues wouldn't hurt. But we will just have to see about the chemistry, won't we?
