Date a man from California, United States. I have been a very busy guy who is about to start taking things easier now and exploring the things that I haven't had time to do. My social life has been very limited to mostly business related things, traveling a great deal on business, etc. Looking to explore the more exciting things in life.
Meet someone special from California, United States. Yup, the pics are recent! Some taken July 2012, except for the boat and the one with the mustache, they were taken about 3 years ago.
A little about me...
I am a Christian and love the Lord. I'm not spooky spiritual but very normal. I would have some very specific questions answered before I would meet you, as I would guess that you would have some specific questions to be answered about me also. I’ll just answer some of those questions now. I'm not looking for someone to take care of me, I'm very well sufficient, I have a lot of energy, I'm very young for my age, I’m athletic, healthy and in great condition, I’m an optimist, diplomatic, I have a great sense of humor, love to laugh, love family, God and country, very personable, go along with just about anything that’s legal and moral, get along with everyone, I don’t smoke, I don't use inappropriate language, I’m fun, funny, witty, spontaneous and love to travel. I am extremely honest in everything I do, I tell it like it is, you can ask me anything and you will learn that the answer is exactly the way I said, I’m not into hurting other people's feelings, I like decisive women, I’m not the jealous type, I believe in giving and receiving, I’m not one to hover over someone, I believe in giving one space and time alone, I work a lot and if your too liberal we probably will never meet.
Are you liberal?
Pre-requisite: Must love God, have up-to-date pictures (at least two close ups), don't smoke, not liberal in your thinking, love life and love to kiss (one of the great under rated, fun things in life).
Date a soulmate from California, United States. I have a house in Greenwich, CT that is being sold. I am living in Mountain View. I am 5'7", 158 lb, very fit, extremely dynamic and I have great genes. I am very smart, naturally honest, very nice, reasonably good looking, quite articulate, and passionate about everything I do. I have great integrity, and honor is extremely important to me. I am very stable, sane and reliable. I am a very good father and a very good friend. I am romantic, physically and emotionally very affectionate and like being with people and making new friends. I have even been called overly gregarious. I have a good sense of humor and I know how to laugh even when life gets challenging. I smile easily.
Being physically fit is extremely important to me. I am very egalitarian and socially very progressive. I am actively involved in politics and work to improve our planet and our society. I like to experience new things and visit new places. My work is also my hobby. Material possessions are not very important to me.
I am looking for a woman who is a good and caring person - one who is very warm, affectionate and real. She should be smart and good looking. Personal health and fitness should be important to her. We don't have to agree on everything, but we should have a lot to talk about.
I need to clarify a couple of things. Although I am divorced, I am very good at having an enduring, monogamous relationship.
Another issue that apparently needs clarification is alcohol. I was shocked that a number of women have asked if I checked the box that says "never", because I am a recovering alcoholic. The answer is definitively no. I selected "never", because, among the choices available, it most accurately reflects the situation. I will occasionally drink a small amount of beer or wine if it is really exceptional.
Notes:
1- My photos look like me.
2- My weight is current.
3- Because I am egalitarian, I do not respond to Winks, "Interested" or a profile without photos.
Meet single man from California, United States. Hello, this is Jerry. I am 667 years old.. I love doing almost everything except jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. I like fishing, camping but not sleeping on the ground, drives almost anywhere
especially to Yosemity Valley in any season, conversation with an
interesting person, good food, decent wine, Italian restaurants especialy those in Rome or in the little hotels dotting the Italian
hills, walking along the Seine, the coast , hot tubs, skinny dipping on summer evenings or in cool mountain lakes, women that know their way around a kitchen, gregarious people,, well behaved dogs, children likewise,gardening with a partner, even at night if it's warm, sunsets over water, woodworking, metalworking, photography, sailing,women that love to garden, and so many more things. I am fairly easy going and am fairly easy to please. I read a lot. enjoy most music but especially classical, country and jazz not necessarily in that order. I like living in the country but love the excitment of San Francisco too. The wharf area and the area around Union Square and the art galleries there. Breakfast at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel. Seafood at Scomas on the wharf. Pier 39. Claude Monet and his garden in Giverny, Paul De La Croix, Winged Victory in the Louvre, Ghiradelli Square and chocolate. Love Monterey and the beach. Lets get tan all over. Life is short. Do good. Have some fun. Drink a little wine, make a little spaghetti sauce, buy good bread. Enjoy nature and all there is to see and do in it. Let's get together. She would feel as if she might like to get to know me after having read my description. like some of the things I like. Not necessarily all of them but some of them would be good. She would be a self sufficient person and like to have her own space once in a while. Not hang all over me in a crowd but still like public display of affection.
She would find my profile interesting enough to want to hear more.
I like driving to the coast and taking Highway 1 all the way to
San Francisco, stopping overnight in Monterey for example and
then maybe again in S.F..to see Golden Gate Park and the gardens and arboretum other trips might include Pier 39. I know it is terribly commercial and millions of people but hey, why not, it's fun. Go find a decent restaurant and have some dinner.
Trips to Norther Coast all the way to Crescent City and then on
to Oregon to see the sights camping and hoteling along the way.
I traveled several times to Europe. France, Germany, Italy and
Switzerland. Italy is my fave. The people are great. I visited
Rome, Venice, Siena, Florence. This was on two driving trips
by rental car. I've driven from the Adriatic to the Atlantic
and the invasion beaches of WWII. I brought home the obligatory container of sand from Omaha Beach. If you like museums
and cathedrals it's fantastic. I loved the Louvre, the Museo
Vaticano, the Uffizi and many more. the cathedrales are
wonderful. want to see graffiti from the 12th century. It's great.
Reading is very enjoyable as long as it is not tech manuals.
I like reading Michener. recently finished Covenant. Have read
many of his books. Leon Urus. fantastic novelist. very popular
in the 70s and 80s. The Bible esp the parts in red. History
non-fiction, lots about WWII. and our Civil War. I had a number
of relative die in that one. They are all listed on the Memorial
in my home town in Missouri. I once owned Audobons 1/4
elephant book of birds. I think it wound up in show and tell
with the kids long ago.
I want to travel the U.S. more and maybe Alaska too but it's
no fun alone.
The woman I am searching for must have a good sense of humor. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff. Hey, isn't there
a book by that title.
Can you come out and play
Date a man from United States. I am a person that is inquisitive, creative and active from running three small tech companies to staying in good shape, at Frog’s gym 4 days doing circuit training and spinning. I play golf at least once if not twice a week. I like to travel (Italy in 2011, Costa Rico in 2008). 2011 was also in New York, SF, Palm Desert and spend a lot of time out in Houston with Jana my daughter and Ellie- granddaughter,
I am blessed that they are in my life and we love to be together. My step-daughter and her family live in Portland and just got back a month ago spending time with them. I am trying to plan a trip to France and new areas of Italy for later this year. I enjoy great restaurants, good movies and theater as well as reading all sorts of books. I’m looking for a woman that likes to travel, enjoys life and has a great attitude (glass half full).
I believe the best is yet to come, and go with the flow of things by trying not to take myself too seriously. I do look at the humor in many of things that I encounter and laugh a lot about the absurdities of this world. I am very considerate of people and am attracted to people that have a kind heart. Most important my life lessons have taught me that I am comfortable in my own skin and look for that trait in a woman. My family including nephews and nieces are a part of my life and enjoy being with them as much as I can.
Meet someone special from United States. I'm a direct and caring person which friends have appreciated.
Don't "play the field " when it comes to relationships--either I'm in to a committed one or not in one at all.
A romantic--yes--but in truth, that has a lot do to with "us" not just me.
Learning as well as ideas have played an important part of my life so if your primarily the outdoor and baseball type, then you should pass on me.

Meet single man from United States. I’m tall, husky, friendly, affectionate, responsible, witty, and single. I am intellectually curious and in some ways unconventional. I'm a retired professional. I enjoy movies, music, travel, outdoors activities, reading, socializing with friends, conversing about politics, culture and the like. In intimate relationships, I am respectful, deferential to my partner, and have a submissive bent. I’m very tactile and enjoy touching, caressing, and cuddling. I am drawn to a loving, caring, educated, assertive woman with a refined sense of humor and a passionate disposition who prefers taking charge in a relationship.
. Nice guy all around. Boring is not in my tenure. I talk about anything, anywhere. I never whisper cause it's bad manners. I'd like to meet someone who doesn't lie as a pass time. Anyone can love a lier but can never trust that person. All lasting relationships are based on mutual trust and respect.
. I like to garden late at night naked as long as it doesnt invole any roses and thorns. Music and laughter and conversation are in my opinion the three of the most important ingredients in any relationship, Trust, love are also in there, without either one there is no foundation for a successful relationship.. Obviously honesty and consideration and compassion also play a big part .If you get that tingling feeling when you meet or just think about each other your on the right side of love. I love to laugh and can even laugh at myself. If I can make you laugh that is very important to me and I hope to you too. Being considered and included in all matters between partners is very important to me. I like to feel wanted, not used but wanted and possibly needed at times. If you would like me to do it you can consider it done.
. I am grateful for my family & friends. I easily get along with people. I have attained my goals in life, having completed 3 degrees. I also retired from 2 jobs- professorteacher and as a computer programmer in a large insurance company. I have visited 72 cities in 24 countries. I enjoy traveling to new places. I enjoy walkingrunning, watching sports, video games, music and movies. I want to meet a woman who is honest, simple, kind and trustworthy.
. Someone with similar interests or interests that I would like to explore. Open-minded, concerned about people and the world, the environment. Willing to be the answer, not the problem. Willing to discuss but not dominate.
