Date a man from California, United States. I have a simple outlook on life. Simply... keep it simple. I know, that sounds too... simple... but it's not. What you get out of a relationship, as well as, what you put into the relationship... IS what matters.
My mate will understand "simple". A simple look… a simple touch... a smile...
or an embrace.
I will enjoy my life as it is now... as well as how it may be in the future.
Meet single man from United States. Enjoying life in my lakeside home I'm remodeling on Upper Hidden Lake in Orange County.Much still to do both inside and outside. Getting great advice from those here on landscaping, appliances, recipes, remodeling. Would love to find someone to join me in doing all this. My dock is empty, my rennovated park bench overlooking the lake is empty ... but my heart is full. For some reason they have my age at 68 when I am 71 ... wanted to set record straight. I'm a straight shooter from beginning to end. If you're a Glen Beck and O'Reilly fan, we might not have a lot in common, but hey, it's worth a try if other things mesh.
At 24 Hour Fitness I've worked myself into the black range, which is the middle range for the strength machines. Up to Intermedite Yoga at Yoga Haus in Pasadena and training for my first Half Marathon using the Rose Bowl track with my indefatigable drill seargent daughter attempting to train me back into my 30s.
One of my loves is growing my own fruit and veggies and grilling them in my backyard for friends. My grilled asparagus with Ken's Walnut Raspberry Vinagrette and toasted slivered almonds is a fav on my BBQ along with grilled new potatoes n rosemary, crook neck squash, zuchinni, and even romaine (believe me, it does grill once you learn the trick). Thanks to highly cooperative neighbors, I can pump music out onto my lakeside patio with 9-speaker surround sound with stadium delay (eat your hearts out guys) and the dancing there under the moon is, as we used to say in high school, way cool man ... way cool ... ;-))
OK...now for the bonus history story....My father's ancestors were arrow-makers from Normandy that enabled William the Conqueror to successfully invade England in 1066 AD...the family name in French was Fleche and became Fletcher later when they settled near Grimsby on the cold northeast coast of England as armaments makers for the English and Scots, later to be conquered by the Vikings and to give to England their Family Motto "Mars non Cupidimus" ... a motto the Beatles reversed into Make Love Not War (a much better version I'd say). Mom's relos were the ones in England and Wales conquered by old William and his pesky archers ... King Herold never looked quite the same after that arrow destroyed his bold countenance and opened the door for the Normans/French to take over England..
At the end of the day, as the sun settles over the far end of the lake, the entire surface boils red for the final moments of that day, never to return. Now all I need is someone to enjoy all this with....to make the red last. Perhaps you?
Love and chemistry is what it's all about...Sinatra taught us that, right? I dont know about you, but when Frank sings, I listen.
There you have it, a marketing consultant rehabbing a beat up 70s two-story and trying to transform an old dock on a forgotten lake into a home worthy of the Queen of England or at least the Dutchess of Northumberland ... the lonely lakeman looking for his mate .... will his arrow find you?
ttfn,
Lake-Forest-Man
PS: Don't judge me by my writing. I'm a writer, remember?
Date a soulmate from United States. When I was young, I saw a movie called Cash McCall a 1960’s movie starring James Garner and Natalie Wood, based on a novel by Cameron Hawley about a man who buys businesses in order to sell them at a profit and thought it was the best thing since Bob’s Big Boy hamburgers (yes, I would like fries with that). I immediately identified with what he was doing and his mannerisms since that time I have started my own business and now in my later life I have gone to consulting.
I'm basically alone most of the time and find myself feeling lonely, I have a lot of family but it’s not what I need at this time and I miss being romantic at heart. I'm not the first to go to the movies with a date, as it’d be a shame to just sit there and stare at a screen when we could be eating, drinking chatting and getting acquainted with each other in my words A great date would include my cooking while she just sits back and sips on something smooth as we get to know each other better.
I need mental communication stimulation with someone I can relate too and I have been craving it!
And what kind of person do I want to spend my time talking to? One who knows what she wants and who has the confidence to go about it someone who can keep a good balance between her time and time with me.
I like someone producing good results because of having an innately beneficial character that believes it and knows good things will come to those with able to endure waiting, delay, or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset (smile).
Why waste time complaining when you can enjoy meeting new people and look for the good in all people. I am playful and prone to laughter.
Inspiring people through humor or anything that can ignite the passion within them makes me happy and besides it might even make you smile, or giggle too.
Meet someone special from Lake Forest, United States. I am what I would find most attractive in a partner. "I'm good enough and smart enough and daw gone it people like me." You can take me anywhere and I will get along just fine. I'm not a loner, just satisfied with myself. I thoroughly enjoy brisk repartee, or quiet time with the one I love. My greatest enjoyment is laughing. I like to take it easy.
I like to work and love the job that I have had for the last twenty years. It's my fourth career. Previously, I was a Naval Aviator, company builder and consultant.
Recently, my right arm retired. I would appreciate a right hand woman.
I'm a traveler and fortunately able to travel when I wish. As geography to call home, the OC is hard to beat. I love finding a great spot and hanging out for while as well as a self directed tour. River boat/barge cruises sound attractive. "Roughing it" isn't on my agenda.
Wine and good food with friends is the focus of my social life. Museums, concert halls and comedy clubs are attractive to me. I love dancing.
I'm not interested in "elevator dating" (3 minutes /-). If you would like to share a bottle of wine over a dinner on me, let's talk.

Meet someone special from Lake Forest, United States. I grew up in the Midwest in a loving home - Educated @ Easter Il. Univ with a degree in Education and a masters in guidance and counseling. Credentialed and long time secondary education administrator. Retired and enjoying the next half of life. Occasional handy man projects and working with wood keep me occupied. I have traveled a bit but may enjoy a few more trips.
A loving family has been a blessing in my life and I enjoyed a long and happy life with my late wife. After 3 1/2 years of recovery and dating, I have come to the point in my life that I am looking for a partner, someone to fall for and spend the rest of life loving and having a fantastic time.
I'm not bad at barbecuing and have some cooking skills but would appreciate someone who would enjoy sharing the kitchen. My specialty - I'll grow the tomatoes and cucumbers for the salad and throw the steaks on the grill and you??
For a change, I enjoy going up to the cabin in Crestline, It's a little primitive but no better time sitting on the front porch with a glass of wine watching the birds and enjoying conversation, that is unless of course it gets too cold and a warm fire place and a cozy couch invites a little old fashioned cuddling.
A brisk walk in the morning is invigorating; Reading is a special past time and I enjoy volunteering time. At the end of the day I enjoy a glass or two of wine sitting on my patio and conversing with passing neighbors, family and friends. I'm just a regular kind of guy with a great big heart looking for the right gal.
I am up for almost any activity except going hunting with Dick Cheney
