Date men from United States / California / Healdsburg, 66 year old

Date a man from United States. I'm a gonna toot my own horn here. I am very direct and analytical about communicating, so here goes. I'm 57, 6'0", weigh 230 pounds, I've worn glasses since 2nd grade, my hair has just started to turn from sandy brown to distinguished grey in the past two years, I have a great smile featuring moderately straight teeth, I have no tatoos or piercings, most of my friends say that I look 47, I am attracted to strong, brainy, insightful, "think outside the box", creative women. Your level of academic achievement is of little importance to me, but if you are clueless, needy, subservient, whiney, unorganized, unable to get from A to B, we won't do well together. I've been divorced 11 years, and have had several long relationships with artists, psychotherypists, rock 'n roll singer and a bartender.
I'm a politically liberal Democrat, that believes that government participation in society is important in providing social opportunity, and a "level playing field." I particulary treasure my Republican friends who are articulate about their beliefs and are able to discuss politics without rancor.
I've never experienced "love at first sight" but at second sight has been wonderful. I feel that all great relationships succeed because the lovers work every day to make the relationship work. The unseen side of me is the sensual, fun loving, searching man, who works to support children, family and the community.

Meet someone special from United States. I am somewhat of a cross between a flaming liberal and an existentialist. I want to meet people that are alive, how's that? Actually I am a writer and a filmmaker, now can we get on with it....Oh my I need a few more characters, how about a quote from my great grandfather, : Oh wad som power the giftie gie us, to see oorsells as ithers see us.
