Date men from United States / California / Nipomo, 57 year old

Date a soulmate from Nipomo, United States. I would have made this shorter but I didnt have the time (Mark Twain).
I am now a retired 00 agent (0014) Im twice the man he was. As you can see my Karate Chop in the photos is pathetic. But that was a tactic I often used. My appointee would ponder this guy doesnt know Karate at all and while he or she was thinking this I would run away and hide. The ole run and hide technique gets them every time.
You have to believe me when I say absolutely none of this is true.
If I have the pleasure of meeting you and you havent laughed within the first 5 minutes you have no pulse. Humor is my second greatest gift. It just comes naturally. And yes I turn it off when its inappropriate. And If your back is hurting I'll be there to rub it (I mean that).
I moved to Bakersfield from Santa Barbara for a very long 2 years. People asked why I did that. I did it because I wanted to experience something completely different. The first time I saw a dust devil I was by myself and I freaked out. I jumped on the phone and called a friend and said there are tornadoes out here. Ill never live that one down but I wouldnt have experienced little things like dust devils if I stayed in SB.
Ive been on a few cruises and to Hawaii a bunch of times. I hitchhiked to Minnesota by myself when I was 17. Yes, chasing a girlfriend. Why else would a 17 year old do that? And when I got there the only address I had was a PO Box (daaaaaaaaaa). But Im lucky in life and as it was dawning on me that I was going to have to wait in a post office until she picked up her mail her mom happened to drive by within 5 minutes and picked me up. I used to hitchhike all over the place. I hopped freight trains too. So, the desire of adventure and the assertiveness to act on it is deep inside me. The only things I hop on now are big jets and nice ships.
Cuddling: Ill do it any chance we get. Romance: On a scale of 1 to 10 I get a 12. But theres only one way for you to find out. Im a gentleman always and to the utmost. Seriously, it will probably take you awhile to get used to it.
As far as outdoors: Im into orchids. Fishing, Hunting (birds only), Scuba diving, Camping, Kayaking (ocean) Activities: Flying is my number one passion. Ive been a pilot for years and the carrot that keeps me going is to buy a plane. As far as cooking, I signed up for a cooking class and have a knack for it too. I want a woman that loves being a lady and knows how to be treated like one. I want someone that is pursuing a goal not just existing. I want someone to have fun with; someone to share my life with; to support in being who she wants to be. Someone who is secure enough within themselves to understand that sometimes we both need our space. She should be able to talk about anything and everything openly and freely. She will be very affectionate. Giving and taking are a part of the fun ... exploring and learning each other's "secret spots" is fun too. I want to be able to trust and be trusted. I want to give someone my heart completely, and feel safe that she will treat it with tender love and care. I want an intelligent person. I am looking for someone that can show me and teach me new things as I can show and teach her. New and different experiences will be the mainstay of our relationship. Ultimately, I want a partner for life. Sorry that was so long.
