Date men from United States / California / Montebello, 56 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. I'm very intelligent, and I'm also in touch with my being; taking the Landmark Education "Curriculum for Living" really helped me to "get out of my head" and more into living life more fully and experiencing my feelings.
My interests are trading, philosophy, martial arts, good conversation with close friends over good food and drink, and of course having fun!
I'm looking for a friend first, a smart and pretty girl-woman who I can feel relaxed and expressive around, and who can feel equally at ease around me. I think that a good friendship is a foundational part of a healthy long-term relationship, and that's what I would like to find and have. I am sincerely looking to take things slow and easy, and discover if we are capable of being real friends first, and then, maybe, something more. I mean it.
Best wishes along your path, whether or not we happen to be compatible.
