Date men and women from United States / California / Monterey, 51 year old

Date single man from Monterey, United States. First of all, I love people and can get along with most. I'm outgoing in most any situation. Taking into account others feelings is important to me, thus I am a good listener. A good time for me is being out on the lake, in my boat with friends or my children. I enjoy dancing, but not crazy about the bar scene. Thus getting dressed up (or not), then out to dinner with a date, then dancing, I could go for that. As a first date it might just be a cup of coffee or a walk on the beach, just to check each other out. I like to have fun and laugh a lot... I do not get embarrassed easy. At the same time remembering to not be disrespectful of others.
I consider myself a health orientated person, what that means is I'm in generally good shape, don't eat red meat, I do drink a little, but never too much. Maybe a couple of times a month. I like most music, but not crazy about country music.
What is important in another person is that they are honest about who they are, their life and are not afraid to share about it. They generally like themselves and would consider them self a warm person. They care about how they look and their health. They also like children. Being around someone who is light and happy with who they are generally, and can laugh at themselves. Being honest and up front is important, I'm not interested in any games. The truth always works, it's just easier.

Meet men and women from Monterey, United States. I AM ONE OF THE SEARCHERS...
"There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains,, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know – unless it be to share our laughter.
We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.
For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves.”
— James Kavanaugh
I am a gentle and wise soul with a subtle sense of humor and playful spirit. I'm pretty quiet and enjoy spending one-on-one quality time. I make sense of my world by observing others. I prefer deep, meaningful conversations to surface talk. I like to listen because I learn a lot. Sometimes I love to be silly and just goof around. I would enjoy meeting someone who has similar qualities, but is unique in their own special way. It would be so nice to meet someone who would like to share this fascinating and sometimes challenging journey with me. I absolutely adore animals, therefore I prefer loving them rather than hunting them down, swimming with the dolphins in their environment, rather than fishing for sport.
Seriously, gentlemen...Bathroom Cellphone self-portraits and pictures of obviously cropped-out ex's are an instant turnoff. Also, I am personally not attracted to profile pictures with shirts off (or crotch-shots) unless the sport calls for it. Show some class and I promise to do the same.Thank you for allowing me to get real with ya'll! Respectfully yours...

Date people from Monterey, United States. I am quiet at first, but more talkative and quick witted, borderline smart alec once I get to know a person. True that I am 50 in age, but feel more like 35-40.
Favorite activities are hiking, camping, visiting hot springs, ghost towns, going on road trips, etc., I favor any where in or near the Sierras, exp. the Eastern Sierra. I suffer from a disease on the weekends - it's called, 'can't stay at home-itus' there are just too many things to see, places to visit, trails to hike/bike. I would consider myself a fun, low maintenance person to hang out with.
Prefer blue jeans v. dress up. I cook and eat healthy, but now and then junk food calls.
And most importantly: more cowbell, please!
