Date men from United States / California / Cowan Heights, 53 year old

Date single man from California, United States. I am an athlete: golfer (single digit index), former collegiate tennis player and soccerdad. I am into cycling and love it! If you don't like sports you won't like being with me. Competition is the essence, the spark, the fire, the drama of life. You are not old until you stop competing.
I love fine wine (had my own cellar), intelligent conversation and great cuisine. I have a lot of Greek/Mediterranean in me and I subscribe to the Greek ideal of life-balance: everything in moderation. Sometimes more can be better than less, but too much is almost always problematic.
You are a glass half full person. You prefer to smile and be happy. You enjoy stimulating conversation and laugh at my jokes (and actually get them). You are kind, soft to the touch, gentile and smell good even when you sweat. You exercise, cycle, play golf (you beat me and I complain I give you too many strokes), and enjoy the same sporting events as I. You know the difference between futbol and football and appreciate both. You challenge me physically and emotionally. You give great massage. You love to cook, don't mind when I join in and share my passion for fine wine. You love my kids and they accept you. You are vivacious and sensual. You improve my image every time I am seen with you. You look great to me even when you are not all "made up". You don't always agree with me on everything, you enjoy the banter and the debate-even the occasional argument. But what you enjoy most is making up afterwards. And we always do. Bottom line, I just like to be with you.
Communication and conversation is key. There is a difference between religion and ethics, I choose ethics. Touch, smell and taste are also very important to me. I give great massage. I don't cook so much as I create, it's the Leo in me. The best advice I've been given lately is when a friend told me to lose the watch, I'd enjoy life more and time would actually slow. He was right.
Money is nice to have, I've made a lot, spent a lot and realize that it doesn't complete you, although if you let it it will define you. I just can't imagine that cuddling up next to a large roll of Benjamin's in front of the fireplace to be either fun or satisfying.
Bottom line, I'm looking for someone who has passion for life. If you can be passionate about living life and experiencing the world we live in, you can be passionate about love. If we can't experience love, what's the purpose of living life?
