Date men from United States / California / Inverness, 69 year old

Date a man from California, United States. I'm a 65 year-old organic farmer, retired from cabinetmaking, Ivy League educated, then art school, but that was a long time ago. Divorced 7 years. I have the ability to be fairly sophisticated, but only every so often. Love the outdoors, animals, horses. Also reading, music, fishing, cooking, food, and photography. 20 year old daughter will be attending The New School in New York.. Everybody gets along fine. I'd like to find someone to be close to, to be intimate with in all ways, to love.My ideal match would be soft and supportive, but also self-assertive. I would be the same. My ideal match would be non-judgemental and accepting. I would be the same. My ideal match would be emotional and sensitive. I'm that way. My ideal match would be someone, who, if they wanted to dance, would go out dancing, and then come home and snuggle with me.
I've noticed that many, if not most, women of my age on Match put a lot of emphasis on their love of traveling. I like to travel, too, in the winter, when my work allows. I try to go on one trip a year- Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii. Often my travels are related to my work, or more specifically, my passion for visiting countries, or parts of this country, where different types of agriculture are practiced. Having said that, I'd like to also say that travel is not at the top of my agenda. That space is reserved for staying right where I am, because I don't yet know everything about this place- its environment, its people, its wildlife, its food, its agriculture, its geology, hydrology, Hope you you see what I mean. My ideal mate would share that, or at least understand and accept it in me. I hope this doesn't sound too severe or harsh, but I'm just that way.
I guess the same applies to golf, water-skiing, dancing, wine-tasting, and things like that. For me, those things are leisure activities; I'm still doing what I feel is vital work, maintaining my connection to the Earth and to my community. I suspect this work will last a lifetime. And I hope to spend that lifetime, what's left of it, with someone who will not necessarily share my work, but understand, accept, and value it in me. I'm a serious guy, and I'm looking for a serious woman to love.
Are you a glass-is-half-full person? Well, my glass is about empty. How could anyone accept the status quo? With war and genocide in Africa, global warming, a US population addicted to high fructose corn syrup and genetically modified processed food, respect for Americans overseas at an all-time low, pollution and discrimination in the US, US troops giving up their lives in what has become a ridiculous religious war about oil ...
I came of age during the '60's, and I guess I still have most of the viewpoints, attitudes, morality , and habits of that time.
Happy? Me? Of course not. I don't have what I want. Someone to love and someone who loves me. Why else would I be here?
