Date men from United States / California / Mission Beach, 71 year old

Date a man from Mission Beach, United States. I am looking for a life-long freind with whom I can build a bond of love, intimacy and trust. Or, if I get lucky, a wife! The “friend-for-life” part is important to me because I don’t want to waste time with people (even "very nice people”) when that potential is not apparent early on. She will be as independent and self-reliant as I am. Strong physical chemistry is a must, as is a natural desire to communicate with each other. I’m youthful, intellectually curious, handsome enough, in pretty good physical shape, value ideas over things, have an exceptionally good sense of humor, and treasure my solitude as well as time with others. I have a wonderful family, good friends, high integrity, and yes, a few regrets (People with “no regrets” bug me because it shows lack of introspection). I am affectionate, reasonably secure financially, happy with who I am, philosophical about life and mortality, and am happy that I remain close to my ex-wife and intimate friends from the past. Qualities I like in a woman include good health, sense of humor (irreverent is fine), slender or curvy figure, average to tall, dark eyes and nice skin (untanned preferred). She's highly intelligent, likes touching, enjoys walking on the beach or anywhere (better yet, loves biking or skating on the boardwalk!). She has a good heart, loves kids, has an open-mind, and is able to trust and love. We like hanging around with each other, yet we’re secure enough to give each other lots of space. No matter what else is going on, we never cease to feel affection for one another.
