Date someone special from Mariposa, United States. I would like to meet a wonderful woman, create a loving permanent relationship, and share our lives in some way that pleases both of us.
I am a land surveyor and own my successful business. I like what I do, and I plan on continuing to do it. I own my home. I like this town, however, it is important to me to get to San Francisco, Los Angeles, and any part of the California coast on a regular basis for renewal and inspiration.
It is important to me to be physically fit, and I hope it is for you also. I usually walk a few miles nearly every day, run a few miles a few times a week,and do a variety of daily exercises. I love to hike. I am backpacking my way alone along the Pacific Crest Trail at the rate of around 150 miles a year (at about 2000 miles to go I better hurry up). I eat well – mostly organic, mostly fish and chicken for meat. I eat zero fast food. Out of necessity I have become an adequate cook.
I go nearly every morning to the local coffee shop with friends for espresso and we solve the world’s problems. I also enjoy small intimate clubs with music and exciting and/or intimate ethnic restaurants. I enjoy outdoor music, city parks and museums, beautiful art, galleries, and great bookstores like Bookshop Santa Cruz. I grew up playing baseball and basketball. I follow the Dodgers, A’s, and even the Giants (I am from the LA area many years ago) in the papers and on the internet. I don’t follow basketball anymore but, if I can find a ball and a hoop, I’ll shoot baskets by myself or with anyone till I drop. I like to take road trips to visit family (spread around the state) and just to go, impulsively, anywhere. I read constantly, but still I have way too many books and magazines stacked up waiting to be read. I also write some, mostly bad, poetry. I love soft light, candle lit dinners, intimate conversations, touching, and being affectionate. I am inspired by beauty; I am inspired by sweeping vistas, the sun in my face, and the wind in my hair. I hope to see more of the this country, and perhaps the world, in the future. I intend to go to New York soon.
I am a considerate man. I am open and transparent I believe. I am honest, kind, reliable, cheerful, trustworthy, and very loyal. I have learned not to take myself, or life for that matter, too seriously. I am very much an introvert.
There are four very important traits that "you" should have for this "match" to work for me. They are deal killers, if you will, if missing. I need you to be kind, I need you to be cheerful, I need you to be intelligent, and I need to like to look at you.
I have a wonderful 7 year old son who I have shared custody of and have with me often. I also have 5 equally wonderful grown daughters. All of my pictures were taken in 2011 and 2012.
