Date men and women from United States / California / Menlo Park, 57 year old

Date men and women from Menlo Park, United States. I've been described as fun to be with, intelligent, down-to-earth and a good listener/conversationalist. I was born in California but grew up in Connecticut. My parents were married for almost fifty-two years and had a relationship based on communication, compromise and humor. I have strong midwestern values and consider myself to be patient, loyal, generous and kind. I look and feel younger than I am, have a average build (okay, ten extra pounds but I'm working on it, brown hair with the inevitable gray highlights, and hazel eyes. I enjoy spending time with friends, learning new things, going new places, working on projects around the house, cooking, entertaining, working out, biking, golf, tennis, skiing, traveling and digital photography. The only two vices I have are chips and salsa and chocolate maltballs! My ideal match is intelligent, attractive, likes to laugh, likes animals and children, is down to earth, and is not afraid to voice her own opinion. She should like to learn and experience new things. I'm most attracted to women with an easy going personality, a great sense of humor and a great smile. Think Meg Ryan or Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond). I'm looking for long term partner and would ideally still like to have children but that may not be realistic. Relationships should be 50/50 and as Tom Cruise said in Jerry McGuire, "You complete me". Internet dating is difficult and time consuming so I'm not looking for a pen pal. I'd prefer a couple of quick emails and if there's enough interest we'd meet for coffee or drinks. My pictures are current and yours should be as well. I watched a movie called Into The Wild and really liked it when he wrote that happiness is only real when shared. If you're still reading and might be interested I'd like to hear from you!

Meet single man from Menlo Park, United States. I'm an outgoing, high-energy person with a fun and comic side, who can get serious side when it's appropriate. I value education, personal growth, sensuality, and cultural sophistication. I love food, wine, film, travel and literature.
I don’t drink excessively, gamble or have any true addictions. I believe in the value of nutrition, exercise and good mental health. I usually eat healthy food, stay in shape by working out 5 days a week and see a shrink regularly. I have lots of positive energy.
I try to achieve a balance between work and play. I’m a professional with a successful career that I truly love. While it keeps me pretty busy, I know how to have fun and often take vacations to places I’ve never been. I regularly enjoy going to movies, concerts, shows, parties, and sporting events. I take weekend trips whenever possible. I read the newspaper every day. I try to accumulate a rich variety of life experiences. You can be sure that when we meet I won’t bore you to death talking about my workday.
I put a lot of effort into making sure that what I say, what I think and what I do are as closely aligned as possible. I express myself using clear and simple words despite having a pretty rich vocabulary. I avoid slang, jargon and cryptic phrases whenever possible. I do tend to joke a lot and look for the humor in everything and anything.
I live every day like it was my last day on earth and manage to enjoy what I’m doing most of the time. I don’t want to ever look back and say that I “could’ve, should’ve or would’ve”. I make sure to embrace life with open arms and live it to the fullest. I appreciate aesthetics, subtle flavors, sensations, musical sounds, architecture, fashion, art and the grandeur of nature.
I am a loyal, committed and good friend. I am the one you call if you have a serious problem and need advice, feel blue and need someone to cheer you up, need a ride because your car broke down or need a visitor because you got admitted to the hospital. The most important things to me are my friends, and my dear family. I also love amazing meals, a fine wine, children, puppies, parties, holidays and flowers. Adorable old people make me smile. I enjoy spending time in beautiful natural settings like the ocean and the mountains.
I'm a very active person and try to set lots of personal goals. I'm constantly looking to grow, improve and gain understanding about my life as well as those who are closest to me. I love my friends, my family and my children and remain very close to them all. I always try to be as involved in their lives as possible.
My divorce is behind me and I'm ready to settle down again with someone so we can enjoy a loving, happy, and full life together.
Of course the most powerful and important thing in the universe is true love between a man and a woman.
I’m looking for someone that can give love and accept love fully. I hope to find someone with virtues and qualities similar to the ones I’ve described. I want to find a partner who can appreciate the things I love and fully comprehend the me-ness of me. I will know who you are because when we are together you will best communicate with me without speaking. We will be best friends and passionate lovers.

Date people from Menlo Park, United States. Pretty good "straight man," in the sense that I can take a joke even if it's on me. Don't have a lot to prove but I respect myself and know who I am. I believe in the dignity of other people and respect the value of other people's time. If I hang out with you, I will want to understand how you tick, but from an empathetic viewpoint, not an objective analytical one. I like people who try to understand things from other people's points of view. I also like it if you are energetic, young at heart, and like to learn new things.
