Date men and women from California, United States. Learning as much as possible about life and the world we live in is a primary goal of mine, and if you share a desire for acquiring knowledge in this mystery world we all inhabit, let's discuss the possibilities. I am communicative, playful, serious, logical, sincere, thoughtful, understated, eclectic, intelligent, skeptical, inquisitive, affectionate, sensitive, open-minded, direct, honest, and passionate about life. I respect people and try to find common ground. I believe that a sense of humor is a person’s most important quality (though mine can get lost in a storage crate somewhere). Like all of us, I am flawed, and sometimes start off in the wrong direction. But I work hard to be aware of my flaws so they can be kept in check. Psychology is a strong interest of mine, and I believe that individual counseling is a healthy activity that helps a person advance beyond their limitations. As Mark Twain wrote: “a person cannot be comfortable without his own approval.” If you’ve never seen a counselor in your life and are not able or willing to look at yourself through someone else’s eyes, we probably are not the best match. I’m a strong INTP on the Jungian based Myers-Briggs typology (a pioneering mother-daughter team), and if you don’t know or want to learn about that, then I’m probably contraindicated for you. Many of my friends are female, who say that I'm unique and that my ability to talk about everything is one of my best qualities. If you like the stereotypical male who watches football (but I do watch baseball and tennis), rides motorcycles (but I do ride bicycles), guzzles beer, doesn't listen, doesn't talk, doesn't share, doesn't open up, doesn't feel anything - I'm not for you, because I'm the antithesis of that. If you're the stereotypical female who thinks the only thing she has to offer in a relationship is her looks, you're not for me. While physical attraction is important, it's just one component of the package that makes up a healthy and strong relationship. Although I don't look like a movie star, I'm not entirely without physical merits either, and the woman for me will especially appreciate the inner qualities that are my strength. I have been in several long-term (10 years each) relationships that were the equivalent of marriage. I'm looking for a lifelong, serious, intimate relationship with one woman, and not flings or something shallow or short-term. My hobbies and interests are varied and there's not enough time to pursue them. They include tennis, economics, investing, trading, walking, talking to friends, fine wine, cooking (all types), cooking together, dining at restaurants (from cheap but good to expensive and exquisite), movies (of all types, classic and contemporary, but especially Hitchcock), music (all types, but especially jazz, blues, classic pop/rock, Motown), photography, home theater, audio, computers, amateur radio, news, history and politics. I like exploring new interests and projects. I enjoy sharing my interests with others, and I try not to let my “irrational exuberance” get the best of me.
The woman I'm looking for would have as much skepticism and reluctance about Internet dating as do I. The potential for a relationship cannot be ascertained via remote electronic connections, but requires personal interaction. She would appreciate direct, honest expressions of beliefs and feelings. She would be interested in life and the world, and would like learning new things together. She would be smart, rational, affectionate, and feel comfortable expressing her feelings. She could appreciate things of quality, whether inexpensive or expensive. She would like to share activities we both enjoy, such as watching movies, listening to music, cooking, dining, and walking at sunset.
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Hello,
I am youthful, healthy, fit, smart, well educated, and have broad, if somewhat eclectic, interests. My daily workout routine keeps me in shape. I am 5'10", broad shouldered, muscular, and I'm told that I'm cute. I am reasonably happy and I am professionally and financially secure. And I hope to think that I've learned a little wisdom in my years – yet - I believe that I've barely started on the adventure of life. I consider myself a work in progress. I have so much to learn, so much to do and experience, and a lot to give. I have exciting dreams for the future and desire someone to bring her dreams to share the journey.
I am seeking true love - a best friend, a lover, a life partner, a mate - a woman to share love, joy, fun, happiness, work, life. My priorities are you, us, family, friends, and a lifetime together. I'm seeking a woman who is smart, active, creative, fun, real, and honest; who loves life, who's not afraid to get her hands dirty, and can tread water in tough times. I desire a woman who will want and need me as much as I want and need her - one who not only can keep up with me - but will make me work hard to keep up with her. Someone who will validate my life as I will validate hers. I want someone who will help me become a better person, someone who can teach me new things, someone who wants to learn new things. I desire someone with which to create a new life and make a new home. I offer myself, all that I am, and I desire only you.
I am a devout optimist. Life can be very silly, but with patience and perseverance, we can survive (if not avoid) even the most idiotic things. I just love watching people, for we are a very silly people, aren't we. I believe that the best is yet to come. One thing that I know is that the only thing that we have on this Earth is each other - nothing else truly much matters. And I believe that we are here to be excellent to each other and love one another - there's not much point otherwise. These days, I'm less and less into things, rather I'm far more interested in people, life, and romance – and kissing – lots of kissing. So I continue to seek that special person.
I did not expect to find myself single again in this life, but when I find the right lady, I will be happy to wake up next to her every morning for the next 50 years.
Thanks for reading.
P.S. I want to hear all about you - what makes you happy, what makes you sad, your dreams, your favorite things, what you want in this life, what you want in a relationship.
