Date women from United States / California / Long Beach, 71 year old

Date a woman from United States. I do not mean to be unkind but if you are looking for a nurse, a purse, and/or a Barbie...STOP! Please go to the button marked "next profile". Press it, and I wish you well. Otherwise please read on...
You will find me to be fun-loving with a good sense of humor and personality. I am warm, loving, kind, romantic, intelligent, honest and straight forward: Never learned to play "games". In addition I am loyal to a fault.
My political choice is conservative. Although I do not need to discuss politics all the time, liberals need not apply ;-)
I spent much of my adult life in the travel industry; consequently, I have visited many countries. I love cruises and hope to sail AlaskaРІР‚в„ўs Inland Passage some day.
I enjoy domestic car travel as well. Over the past three years I have visited and hiked over a hundred National Parks in the USA. I have a collection of US Park Passport Stamps. Tent camping is another outdoor activity that I enjoy. Recently I discovered the joys of RVing.
I used to garden a lot, but of late with the monthly travels, I have let that go.
Some of my past/current hobbies are ceramics [slab construction]; stained glass [both lead/foil]; woodworking; candle making; soap making; and wreaths and other holiday crafts. Also love a friendly game of poker.
I used to love to dance, but have forgotten how. I would enjoy the right partner refreshing my two step.
I am an average cook. Never liked eating alone so I rarely cook these days. A twosome in the kitchen is a warm and wonderful experience.
A warm fire and a glass of wine on a rainy night is my idea of a romantic evening. In good weather, a happy hour watching the sunset on the beach or on the patio can be a prelude to...
There is a lot more about me, just ask.
My goal is to find a like-minded man for a committed and lasting relationship.

Meet someone special from United States. I would like to meet a gentleman with whom to share mutual interests and discover new ones along the way. I would like to have a friend, confidant, and someone with whom to have fun.
I work full time for a major corporation in CA.
I am happy with my job and looking forward to retire in the near future. I love to travel and explore new places either far or near. I enjoy
many ethnic foods and willing to try new ones.
I like spending time with family and friends and love to travel. I like music, reading, literature, museums and many have many other interests and always interested in trying something new.
I am honest, loyal, and trustworthy and I look for the same qualities in a friend.
