Date women from United States / California / Davis, 49 year old

Date someone special from Davis, United States. All I Really Need to Know I did not Learn In Kindergarten. Sure enough kindergarten taught life long lessons on sharing, playing fair and not to hit (and scream and throw and kick and bite) when you get mad but somewhere it was also implied was that you had to like everyone. This is not true - you just need to get along, “play well with others” as they say. Certainly there is pressure to conform as a group and in kindergarten probably for a very good reason. Can you imagine a bunch of 5 year olds running around saying, “But my mom tells me to be true to myself”? Kapow! This does not mean you need to give up a sense of individuality but be comfortable and confident in who you are as an individual. Sharing is not even all it is cracked up to be either. Every so often I do want that cupcake with the pink frosting.
And surely there is nothing wrong with warm cookies with cold milk, afternoon naps, holding hands and sticking together. As an adult, though, I would swap that on occasion for a medium rare steak and glass of red wine. Afternoon naps and holding hands are keepers but this is not a 24/7 deal as exploring your own interests and time to yourself are equally as important – live a balanced life.
Definitely clean up your own mess and put things back where you found them. Though alternative suggestions are always welcome. Oh yes, and did I already say, Play Fair?
In case you are wondering, I do like all the normal (and a few not so) things such as good food and wine, museums, hikes, snow play, water play, concert, shows, then there is Outlands.

Meet a woman from Davis, United States. Oh Geesh, I guess I have to say something clever about me. I am typically very easy going and easy to talk to (so my friends tell me). I suppose I can be a bit nerdy at times-but in my defense I am a scientist. I am educated, successful and unconditionally love my family and friends.
I enjoy being around people who are involved in life, interested in the world, successful in some aspect of their life and feel good about them self. I am not looking for perfection- as I am not perfect. I hope to find a partner who is honest, thoughtful, and can accept (and laugh) at his mistakes and those of others. Integrity is high on my list of traits I admire. I appreciate kindness and loyalty. My plan is to enjoy life with a like-minded individual and have fun together in the process. I am not into serial dating, cheaters or rescuing wayward souls. I am interested in a partner who brings something to the table and that I can make happy. If you have interesting friends you enjoy spending time with - thats great - I like people and entertaining.
I love my kids and enjoy having them 50% time. When I am with them, we enjoy doing things like camping (especially in a 5-star hotel, awesome state parks or in the backyard), skiing, games, traveling and just being together. However, I would enjoy doing these things with someone a little closer to my age and of the opposite sex now and then!
For me chemistry is critical; both physical and intellectual. I hope to find someone that clicks with me; easy and natural. I don't know what your occupation is (but you will have one) or what your astrological sign is (who really cares)... however, I do know that when I find you... nurturing, loving and laughing with you will be just be the norm.
I donРІР‚в„ўt need to be rescued from a tall tower... but I really would like to find a prince who is willing to give it a go!
