Date women from United States / California / Hercules, 41 year old

Date a woman from United States. I enjoy what most people do: laughter, music, dancing, culture, traveling, good wine/food, art, movies, being with family and friends... learning new things in general.
The qualities I look for are honesty, loyalty, kindness, manners and a great sense of humor. I firmly believe that honesty and communication are key to any type of relationship- be it friendship or an intimate one. An individual that stimulates me- mentally and physically. Someone that isn't afraid to be spontaneous and try new things. A man that understands that although I may be independent- a gentleman holding a door open for me is a plus. (They say that chivalry is dead, but I see it sprinkled about here and there and it always makes me smile.)
I've been out of the dating circuit for some time and thought this might be a good alternative as opposed to the club/bar scene of my 20's... the very thought of resorting to that scene to meet a nice guy gives me a hangover... Though I'm not opposed to going to a bar/club with a nice guy and ending up w/ a hangover together!
