Date single man from Long Beach, United States. Arete; Ancient Greek: in its basic sense, means excellence of any kind., a sport shirt, and Topsiders. In the winter, a turtleneck, sort of the Steve Jobs lo In its earliest appearance in Greek, this notion of excellence was ultimately bound up with the notion of the fulfillment of purpose or function: the act of living up to one's full potential.
Sometimes translated as "virtue," the word actually means something closer to "being the best you can be," or "reaching your highest human potential."
Arete is the word that best describes my life and desires.
A 23 year marriage ended three years ago, I have two teens, a daughter who is off to college in the fall and a son who is a sophomore in high school. I am six foot tall, weigh 185 pounds, my friends say I look like Ron Howard with more hair and no beard. I walk three to four miles almost every evening along the beach in Long Beach. I work in the banking world and enjoy the aspect of working with successful clients. I enjoy two to three books a month on various topics, most recently Steve Jobs, That Used to Be Us, Love and Respect, and the Fabric of the Cosmos.
Since I wear suits during the week you find me on the weekend in jeansok.
I am a catholic and go to church primarily as a place to reflect and think. I also attend various other religious locations with friends.
My favorite movies are action movies with my son and my all time favorites Love Story, Sleepless in Seattle, and Out of Africa. I would like to find someone who is a good story teller. Could you co-write your ideal date as a story with your partner than live it the next weekend? How would it start? Where would it end? Maybe it is a never-ending story. You just just scored major points if you would.
I enjoy conversation, so plan on staying up late talking about anything, sounds a little like my college days.
My friends would say I am funny, intelligent, too nice, passionate about life, talkative, planning (from my Boy Scout days) and loyal, but those are just words, the proof is in the doing.
I traveled a lot early in my life and early marriage, recently done the kid trips, National Park, Missions, you know the routine. I love to hike, fly fish, sail and play golf.
My Bucket list includes seeing all of the National Parks, travel the Lewis and Clark trail, hike Mt Whitney, drive route 66 from Chicago to LA, visit all of the old baseball parks..........
I am analytical, thus I like to favorite people so I can find them again and read and re-read their profile. I work and live in Long Beach, 12 blocks to work and two blocks from the beach, what could be better.
I would like to meet for friendship at first and see where things go from there.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I'm a happy non-conformist kind o' guy. I love good food, good coffee and a good laugh with good company. I try to walk the earth softly while treating people the way I'd like them to treat me. I meditate (almost) daily and don't take myself very seriously. Let me loose in a kitchen and chances are I will make something delicious and usually healthy. I'm pretty down to earth and prefer surprising and interesting to posh and extravegant. I believe in social justice , economic justice , equality for all and the dignity of all honest labor. Peace, Love and Roller Derby. I use a cane to walk but keep myself fit and take really good care of myself. I'm pretty sure my cat is from another planet but comes to our planet in peace.

Meet someone special from United States. First, I shaved off the mustache a few months back. Most say I look younger but my mom says she liked the mustache. She is 90 and doesn't like things to change. Oh well.
I run a software company and I like my job (most days). I've spent too much of my life working hard and I now want to spend more time having fun and sharing it with a special lady.
Conversation, intelligence and humor are big, big plusses for me. I really like thinking and talking about how the world works. I'm into art, science, politics, and pretty much everything else. Mind you, I'm not looking for a fight just engagement on every level. As far as affection goes, I like hugging and kissing a lot. Public displays of affection are good as long as it doesn't get too far out of hand. Often, just a meaningful touch on the arm at just the right moment can make my whole day. My date is feminine but not fragile. Intelligent but not overbearing. Demanding but not too ...
My perfect match would like travel (day trips and around the world), fine dining, good wine, intimacy, museums (art, science, history, natural history,...), music (all kinds, except rap and ultra-country) and whatever else. I'm not into camping (I like a good shower at least once a day) but day hikes are fun.Intelligence and humor are vital to me. One of the most wonderful things is to share a moment with someone where you both see the subtle humor in something that practically no one else can see. I want to find someone with whom I can experience this virtually every day I'm with them.
Date single man from United States. I’d describe myself as a good, genuine, old-fashioned man who knows who and what’s most important in life. I make time for those I love and for the things that make life worth living. I have my passions and am certain to fulfill them. I’m ambitious, adventurous and spontaneous, but really take the most pleasure in the simple things like a ride on my Harley or that feeling I get every time my love walks into the room.
Like all of us, I’ve had my bumps along the way, literally and figuratively. A lot of roads have led me to where I am currently. I’m a veteran and have seen a lot, so I know to never take a moment for granted. My faith, family and friends got me through tough times and are still here to celebrate the good times!
Everything is going incredibly well right now. I’m retired and living life to the fullest. Which means I spend a lot of time on my Harley because I’m a born motorcyclist and with my unbelievable grandkids who make me more and more proud each day. I don’t know what I did to get so lucky with those kids, but I’m not asking any questions. I’m just trying to be the best role model I can be for them.
My ideal partner will be a woman who will be more than a partner, but also my best friend. She’s someone who’s family-oriented like myself and is as comfortable hanging out at home, as she is riding on the back of my motorcycle with the wind rushing through our hair. Physically, nothing turns my head faster than a pretty face, but what will capture my heart is someone with a zest for life who radiates optimism and is ready to love and be loved with nothing holding her back.
If you think we may have some things in common, send me an email and let’s see where it goes from there!
