Date men from United States / California / Orange, 72 year old

Date a soulmate from Orange, United States. Want big hugs, and a fun lifestyle? Young enough to enjoy advanced adolescence? Good sense of humor? A nester, but like outdoor activities and travel too?
A relaxed, teddy bear of a guy, I live a tranquil, comfortable, fun life. Financially and emotionally secure. Mix easily. Playfully humorous. Thoughtful. Healthy, active, interested. Down-to-earth. Educated. Value intimacy. Enjoy travel. Tux ready. Handy. Good cook. Blessed to be from a big family.
Like you, I understand my needs in a relationship. Unlike most men, I want an equal partner, not control. Thus I find independent, warm, aware women alluring. While independent, you seek a man to share the fascinations, fun adventures and challenges of life. As your best friend, trusted confidant, and lover. Complementing each other in conversation, planning, activities, travel. warmth and misc tomfoolery. Passion flows from that "warm glow" marked by banter, long kitchen hugs, ready smiles, open communications and frequent hand holding during shared activities.
Clearly, I enjoy home, with no need to be out or active all the time. Yet spread over time I have lots of interests, some time consuming. At ease from Beverly Hills mansion to rustic mountain cabin. Ski resort to tennis court. Bridge game to dirt oval stock car race. Gourmet Alaskan fishing lodge to TN bass boat. Yangtze river boat to luxury cruise. Bustling Dubai to crowded Mubbai to romantic Cape Town. African safaris. Remote Peru and Ecuador. At various times I also enjoy theater/concerts, a garden, computerized stock trading, football.
Versatile and well rounded, I have rapport with most professional/business backgrounds. [K6 teachers or realtors need to be exceptional, or under 35!] Fairly bright, with diverse interests, I prefer a 4-yr college grad (or equiv) with the life experiences and confidence that leads to. A naturally curious, aware thinker, iinterested in the implications of local, national and world events. But warmly pragmatic, not an overly erudite intellectual or pretentious sophisticate.
We are flexible, versatile. Any topic. Variety of people and foods.
Willing to join each other in most activities, we can entertain ourselves too. Our differences make life interesting. Your special interests allow "space" for mine.
While active, we are able to relax.
We are cheerful. Have initiative. High integrity (but not righteous or intolerant). Charitable.
Good health habits are important to us. I play singles tennis twice a week. Far from a jock, I exercise and eat right to benefit from my genes. [At 97, Dad passed PA physical to drive his new SUV; mowed 3 acres; blew snow; tended gardens. Mom, active at 92, drove, had 4 flower gardens. Both mentally sharp.]
A light-blue skier, each winter I ski a week or 2 in CO, UT, ID or MT.
Yearly we enjoy an international adventure or cruise.
Enjoy playing bridge, rubber or duplicate? Not essential, but a great social game at home or on a cruise.
Are you secure enough in your own self and talents that you communicate readily [i.e., free-flowing, open, clear and considerate]? Secretive, furtive women, who hide their feelings, substituting body language, games or inuendo for communicating, should look elsewhere.
Light social drinking is fine, but no really bad habits (dope, smoker, "finding self" at this late date, ultra-anything extremist, radical religious zealot, bigot). Ditto for naively simplistic anti-government Libertarians who ignore reality; or stary-eyed "Very Liberal" socialist idealogs seeking control over the lower socio-economic half (clearly not Truman/Kennedy Dems). Citizens only.
You need enough income to support your activities. Else a weak, controlling relationship (and a subconscious pall over love making) if one of us needs to "earn" financing to add some quality, travel and fun to a Social Security level retirement.
Separately seek midweek singles tennis matches or sharp duplicate partner, M or F.

Meet a man from Orange, United States. Many interests such as science, art and architecture, music (at least 30 years old) medical developments (please hurry). current developments, cultural trends
My wife (RIP) and I shared many adventures in travel, art shows, many kinds of enetertainment.
