Date men and women from United States / California / Fresno, 51 year old

Date a soulmate from Fresno, United States. Updated 7/24/12
Okay. Time for a rewrite.
Having read a fair few profiles, including my own, I should now know what not to write. That's the theory anyway.
That makes it harder and shorter, even though there has been much activity over the years.
I am like a 21 year old, going on 52, without the foibles of such youth. On the contrary, I feel the years have sparked me. At 21 though I had not yet completed my BA degree. At 21 I was in Manhattan learning the trade of photography. I hailed from the UK. At 26 I was back in the UK. Photography morphed into a career of merchandising. Slowly, the wheels turned as I became more interested in what I was selling. Furniture, antiques, bric-a-brac and having a shop to sell these kinds of things from, eventually made me realize that I needed more education, that the future would be better for it. At that point came the road to an Arts degree. As much as I love Fine Art, it was the love of the material world and industry that made me select something more like Design. However, I needed the Fine Art angle and so I chose something that might steer me into Design and Art I don't mind getting my hands dirty, but opted for something cleaner, that being Textiles and Textile Design. But it had to be combined with a History of Art. I selected a degree that would be better known as Fibre Art in the States, and with that History of Art knowledge included, The result was something like Conceptual Art and this is the major difference between a Visual Art and a Fine Art that creates the wacky stufff we see today. However, I ended up working in industry that was more design than that, that I was originally seeking. But I was fine with that. Earning money is good.
I had visited NYC a second time in the late 90's and by 2004 had fully returned with a very long stay in mind, only this time not in New York, but California.
So lets take a break from the time-line and talk about you and me. Its no use my stipulating what I think I would hope for in a dear friend. I would not expect all interests to match up. But you would hope there are common activities, right? But since when do we stop learning or rigidly stick to the old habits? I am always about change. I may not be able to free myself of my basic nature, but I do change and learn and love to learn. Love to learn and love to follow new habits of meaning.
Ladies. A lady is what I fancy. If you could only see what some of you write. "I want someone who can make me laugh" or "I am looking for the adventure man", who likes to go wine tasting. A man who is happy in his own skin. I want a man that I can grow old with!. Cliche balderdash! You look outside of your box and you will get that. It would go with the territory. It would go without saying. If the words aren't there, be sure to look elsewhere. If the pictures are few and far, you better make up your own reality mental pictures to inform you. Might save you some time. A stitch in 9.
So what's my idea then, you may ask. Come to think of it, I do like wine. A great Pinot Noir satisfies this palette. I would hope you would explore the local and the wider horizon. But being home is good too. Watching exotic movies, reading a book that prospers and attending to the simple stuff. Cinema. Theatre. Art Galleries. Downtown hangouts. If you prefer high profile stuff, spin the wheel x :)

Date people from Fresno, United States. I like to find the humor in everyday life. We have to laugh at ourselves sometimes, everybody else does. I feel I’m a practical, responsible person and a good listener. But after responsibilities are met, then its time to enjoy life, partner, friends and such. And to always look at that glass half full. I would like to see that in a partner too. I like, music, hiking, photography, sports, weekend trips, coffee and conversation.
One of my passions is nature photography. I love hiking and taking photos on the way. Also, I can really enjoy just seeing a good movie.
My only child, my daughter, is the most important thing in my life.
I like spending time with someone that has common interests. Of course there has to be a special spark or connection. With friends its good, with partners, it’s a must of course.
Whether to plan a special trip, or just spontaneously take off for a short one. To have a nice dinner and see a movie, or to see some friends. I like to be with someone that can enjoy the finer things in life and also the little everyday things.

Date a soulmate from United States. So what would life be like if everthing went as planned? Well for me it just never seems to happen that way so no matter...I have my health, my family, my friends...its all good! I have 2 fantastic children ages 10 and 13 ( think my age must be wrong here ) they are, as any proud parent, my life. I have a great career in the Produce industry. I enjoy family/friends BBQ's, movies for sure, all types of music, Pinot Grigio, the beach (everyone puts this), cooking...I really enjoy cooking and good at it (hate the dishes though), also spur of the moment trips, and of course football, gotta have my football. I eat healthy (maybe not so much on the weekends) and excerise often, trying always to stay healthy and fit, yet enjoying that one life we get.
