Date men and women from United States / California / Gilroy, 53 year old

Date a man from California, United States. Divorced just finalized 6-2012! I love the outdoors and adventure. I love healthy happy people. I want the people around me to be happy and fulfilled.
Enjoy looking for treasure at the beach. Not materialistic, but believe in being fiscally responsible. Not in debt. Own my own house.
Not interested in anyone who lacks self-respect or respect for others. Interested in someone who is making an effort to immprove thier life as I am also trying to do.... but you do not have to be perfect or "have it all together" You may be working through some pain in life or sorting something out and that is okay.
Passionate. Love to kiss. Bad kissers will have to practice.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Hi! I am an honest, passionate person with a genuine heart. I am looking for a relationship based on love, communication, trust, common interests/goals and devotion. I am not afraid to give and recieve affection so I hope you like being held tight in way that makes you feel at ease and excited at the same time! I am strong but I also when to be gentle. That feeling of sharing your heart and your energy with a simple touch is something I never tire of. I have allot of love to give but can only share that with one lady as I am absolutely faithful and rather enjoy it that way!
I do love to laugh and to make others crack up. I tend to be clever and quick witted. I love a woman with a good sense of humor who can keep me on my toes. I never take myself too seriously and will usually make fun of my mistakes before others get a chance to. I am basically pretty easy going and do not let little things bug me or get me stressed. If there is a problem then talk about it NOW so we can get back on track and not look back. NO "silent treatment" please!
I honestly can get no greater enjoyment than putting a smile on your face and making you simply want to be with me no matter where we are or what we are doing. Simply put...I am looking for a lover who is a best friend.
I try to do some sort of exercise most every day even if it is just some sit-ups or a short hike up the hill near my house in Gilroy. I am about 1/2" under 6' and 185# and pretty average looking but I won't mind if you disagree!. I do like women who take good care of themselves as well, and I love the feminine curves! (yes muscles on women can be feminine curves) You should have at least one RECENT photo giving some impression of your figure. I personally prefer women who are not too small from the hips down and not too big from the waist up. I am not one who likes to lounge around for several hours doing nothing, I don't mind watching a movie now and then but need to balance that with actually doing stuff not just being a spectater.
I am hoping to find a good-hearted lady who is honest, easy going, appreciative and a good communicator. The type of woman who is smart, funny and sexxy just by being herself. I find the "perfectly flawless" look kinda boring...
A good partner is there for you when things are good, a Great partner is there for you when things are not so good. I want to be a great partner and support you when you are down or need ANY kind of help even it is just a great listener with a shoulder to cry on.....oh yeah, HUGS, gotta give em, gotta get em, they are good for all occasions!.
Honesty and good communication are two of the traits I value the most. I am a "man of my word". I am highly regarded in my profession for my innovative designs and accomplishments. I am articulate but easily blend in with most any group of people.
Doing new things and trying new foods keeps life interesting. Thai, indian, italian and mexican are some of my favorites! Healthy eating is important to me every day not just now and then!
Traveling to beautiful romantic places and exploring, relaxing together! I enjoy most all types of music as long as it is good and will try practically anything at least once. Watching live music is something I have done all my life and I occasionally like to sing. Love comedy shows. I have never been a "bar person" and I am not looking to meet one. :)
Being outdoors especially hiking and taking photos in nature keeps me connected and hopefully I will meet someone who feels the same. I have always had a strong connection to the environment and to animals. I was environmentally conscious long before I ever heard the term! I have been composting since 1974.
Oh yeah... My friends often introduce me as "the gourmet chef" because of all the unique meals I have made for them over the years. I generally start with what is ripe in the garden and build from there. Never a recipe and I still have them fooled!
Thank You!

Date single man from California, United States. I enjoy helping people with projects around the house. I try not to dwell on the bad things in life, but accept them as learning experiences. I used to enjoy country-western dancing, but it has been sooo long that it would take a while to get comfortable with it again. I enjoy a variety of card games, Pinochle being on the top of the list. I'm a reserved/shy person (not a social butterfly), but if you get me talking then I'm ok.
I spent 20 years in the Navy (which I enjoyed most every minute of), met lots of great people, traveled to places that I would never have seen any other way, most of them I didn't even know existed. I took advantage of the opportunities I was presented to visit Japan, Phillipines, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, Korea, Thailand, Hawaii, Germany, Netherland, England, Kenya, France, and several ports in the Caribbean. We once went into some of the fjords in Alaska during the time glaciers were breaking off and splashing into the bay waters.
Like so many people, I'm looking for that special person that I can share life experiences with, expecting most of them to be good, but it is the difficult ones that make you stronger when you make it through. I have some great qualities to present to that special person, some not so great that I'm working on improving. What I know I'm fairly patient to try and teach, but I know there is a lot for me to learn, so hopefully you have patience also.
I wish all of us safe and happy experiences down the roads we travel on this adventure called life.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I am a compassionate, engaging, funny, fun-loving, and intelligent man. I have lived in big cities (East Coast, Bay Area) and now live in the country on a small ranch. I have travelled to many parts of the world and have a personal and political philosophy that is more global than national. I strive to be kind, caring, interested, curious, responsible, and a good partner. I love music, enjoy cooking (esp Indian, Thai, Chinese, or Italian!), and love time in the mountains in the summer. I am just as happy at a good play, a good Giants game, or a beautiful Sierra lake. I have three young kids (17, 16, and 14) and love being their dad. When we are home we play board games, ride horses, watch movies, and share stories. We are generally hooked into each other and not electronics. We are an active family but enjoy our down time too. We love to laugh, joke, tease, and have fun. My kids are very social and easy to be around. We like day trips to SF or Monterey, we spend at least a week camping or backpacking in the Sierra's in the summer, and we try to take a big trip each year (DC, Florida, Southwest, Hawaii, Boston). I have a career and job that I love. I commute 45 minutes to the hospital where I work, but before I leave each day I feed the horses and chickens and get the kids off to school. Am interested in a woman who lives a balanced life, is a mother, is a good listener, expresses herself directly, and has varied interests.
