Date a man from California, United States. The pictures with my niece and nephew were taken May 30, 2009 .I am retired two times but started two other businesses because I failed retirement both times. I am afraid to retire again because I have a feeling I will fail again. I will be able to stop working those if I can find someone to share the rest of my life with. It's difficult to go out and travel by yourself. At least it is for me. I have a lot to offer the right person. I like to have a glass of wine. The answer that was available makes me look like a souse, but the truth is a glass or two a day according to the doc, ain't so bad. I only drink red and have never tasted whisky etc. I thought that info may be important to speak to. I love to have a kind, sensuous woman at my side. I am romantic and like to kiss . I like to tease and laugh but no teasing that is hurtful. The couple woman I have met were sweethearts. Very nice people. The fact that we may not have been right for each other does not negate the fact that they will for sure, always be someone I respect. Please don't ask me to respond if you have chosen to not post a photo.
I have been very candid about myself and hope that she would also be that way. There is much more I could say about myself that is positive but they would mostly be lies. ( Ha. just seeing if you actually read this far) Nah, only kidding, I am perfect. Nah, that's a lie. I would like to believe that my faults are few and would not affect a relationship. I get along with my ex and her husband and everyone I ever dated. That may speak for itself. Well, if you are super, I am looking forward to speaking with you. God bless all those that put one photo of themselves and 10 of the dogs and cats. They are nice but do not really show who you are except that you love animals, as I do. I have had as many as 5 cats at one time and two large dogs, so needless to say I like them but would rather see you. Scenary is nice but,hmmm, is that you in the far pasture? Couldn't tell. Oh and don't forget we men are weird. Okay, I know you knew that but what I am getting at is your photos with men. On the beach, on a couch, driinking beer and laughing at a luau. We kinda like to think that is not an ex, so give us a nice lie and say it's your old uncle Jim or something like that. We are very insecure creatures. Time to light the fireplace.If you read this far I will tell you Spring Valley is where I live and it is near San Diego. Many people kept asking me where Spring Valley is so I knew they were not reading this all the way thru. Ciao.

My life right now is quite joyful as I'm a recently minted grandpa! But don't let the title fool you - I'm still very much an active & healthy man.

Date single man from United States. I'd like to find a sexy woman for free style dancing to rock music or one to train with.
Do you know how long it takes for me to decide if I am interested in a woman?
Answer: 3 seconds
Sometimes less!.
If the spark is there then we can discuss philosophy or whatever. If not I will be biding my time
until I find the spark.
"I would rather be ashes than dust. I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than
to be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor every atom of me in magnificent glow then a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live. Not to exist!

Meet a soulmate from United States. If you're looking for a pensioner who is happily in the cocktail hour of life, I'm probably not your man. While others at my age are winding down, I'm starting up again. If you want to be with an active entrepreneur, I may be your guy.
I'm doing my part. To re-launch myself into dating, I’ve rapidly shed some excess pounds that I can no longer attribute to fear of anorexia. I’ve been dragging my overly large but aerobically friendly Australian Shepherd on longer and longer walks to get back to the shape I'd like to grow accustomed to.
Sadly, my dog is an adequate walker but a pitiful dancer. And although he’s an excellent listener, I’d really like a lot more give and take in conversations. Moreover, he may find the New York Times newspaper very absorbing, but he’s not a reader. So we really can’t immerse ourselves in the joy of reading and discussing books.
I also share one of my dog's better traits. We're both extremely affectionate. Although I may not give you a slobbering lick, I like to hug and be hugged, and show overt affection for someone I care about.
I still have the wide-eyed fascination and appetite of an adolescent male. So if romance isn’t something you care much about, you'll do better with some other man.
I'm the kind of man who has always liked the company of women -- as friends, as business associates, as a spouse and, most important, as equals. My masculinity is not threatened by intelligent, successful women. In fact, I find assertive professional and businesswomen absolutely intoxicating.
Sparkling intelligence and wit should be your hallmark. If you’re a demure shrinking violet -- someone whose natural tendency is to defer to a man -- I’m not your guy.
I’ve always felt that happiness is a directional emotion. It doesn’t depend as much as where you are but where you think you’re going.
To be really happy, I want to find someone to share with, to plan with, to indulge and be indulged by, to laugh and celebrate even the smallest and silliest of attainments, to support and be supported by in time of need.
. I've lived sixty plus years of unusually high highs and low lows which have resulted in a strong desire for real communication and intimacy.
I like a good book and even better massage, (given or taken). I'm told I look young for my age.
I no longer smoke, (cigarettes), and I prefer good conversation and the possibility of mischief. I want to nurture and be nurtured, seek emotional and physical intimacy, (preferably in that order), and believe I am at long last ready for such a gift.
I also believe in some forms of exercise . . . and fate.
. Well to be blunt and upfront here...as you must know by now...men are VISUALLY stimulated and RED is a woman's best friend!
A firm believer that if there is "No SPARK...there certainly will be no FIRE!!" I really appreciate a woman who still wants to make herself appealing to her man..one who has a sense of assertiveness to her..one who is confident in herself and has very high self esteem.
I also appreciate a woman who wants to look and feel feminine. I certainly don't mind waiting the extra time for her to make sure that her makeup is just right! Having my heart go Pitter..Patter every time I set eyes on her is a must.
NO BIRKENSTOCK'S PLEASE!!
I consider myself a very patient, caring and compassionate person with a great sense of humor. I also believe that "effective communication" is the key element to the success of a great relationship. Having said that I pride myself in being a great "listener" and a very effective "communicator"
I am an honest, trustworthy, sincere and an extremely affectionate person who will make his woman not only the center but the focal point of my life. I need a partner that is faithful, monogamous and not a game player and not be afraid to show affection privately or publicly with words and touch. Hand holding as corny as it sounds...has a profound feeling of trust, bonding and emotional togetherness that is hard to beat. Couples that "cuddle" together...stay together!
I believe each day is a page in the book of my life and I want each page to be filled with love, peace, joy, excitement and happiness.
"Seduce my mind and you can have my body...
Find my Soul and I'm yours Forever"
My sign is Scorpio and as such I emulate the true nature of Scorpio...intense.. a high emotional commitment to my partner and a man of extreme passion. Can you handle that?
BONUS points for being.......... SLENDER/SLIM!!!
Please NO WINKS...Just talk to me!
. My strongest trait is that I make a very good friend. I try very hard to except every person I meet for what they represent. I love to laugh but some might find my humor difficult to understand. I can be very romantic and senual.. I can be very confortable in a suit but like jeans because they are so much more suited to play. While I was employed I was a real type A. I try to remember every day that for me it is better to be a B or C.
I'm looking for my soul mate and someone who likes her own space at times. Should have some long term friends in her life as that makes a big statement I think about who we are. Must love passion for her own pleasure. Non-judgemental (or tries hard not to be). I would love to have a companion in my life who loves to laugh in spite of the hardships life can bring. Lastly, friends and her relationship are her top priority.
Just let me add that during my life time I have traveled to many lands, dined in many splendid resturants. And, I know how to set a proper table right down to the finger bowl. It's just that at this point in life I just don't find those things important. What I do value most of all is my relationships.
I'm not sure if match.com is for me because I have always haad no trouble meeting people. I love meeting new people and learning about each other. That's why I think perhaps it might be to easy to be selective on these sites. If I was still hiring people today, I think that my age would be showing as I would still chose the old fashion way of looking each other in the eye.
Perhaps by now you have discovered one of my bad traits. I talk to much (but I'm always working to improve). Think about this: A lot can be learned over a Starbucks or Pepsi. If you're a coke drinker that's something we can agree to disagree on, okay? Very little can truely be learned through an email.
. When I first filled in this section my comments were almost terse. Then I read some of the women’s entries and realized many were eloquent and interesting. So I thought I should do better. I want to sound winsome and appealing but I’m not sure how to do that. I think I’ll just give you a brief background so that you kind of know me. Some things have to be disclosed sooner or later, anyway, don't they?
When I was a boy of 21, I married a girl who was 20. That girl became a wonderful woman, wife, and mother. When I was 67 she died of cancer after having borne and nurtured three children, two girls and a boy, who are mature and successful adults living independently of me. We were faithful to each other. Being winsome and appealing to other women wasn’t something I worked on. But it has been over a year since she died and I’d now like to be, at least, a very good friend to a good woman.
I’m not sure I’m seeking marriage at this point, but I’d like a little romance with a pleasant person—even the ever-popular walks on the beach at sunset and a nice conversation at dinner. Maybe a drive to the mountains, or to the desert, or up the coast to find candles or wine for that dinner conversation.
I’ve not had to compete in this arena (this welcome, hopeful arena of Match.com) and I suppose what I’ve just said means some are not interested. If that’s the case you know how to click to the next profile without a thought. But if you’d like to know something I’ve left out, please ask and I’ll respond.
Also, I behave like a gentleman.
