Date men from United States / California / Palo Alto, 67 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. For me, passions include compassion and empathy, probably these are what I consider my strongest personal traits. I love to "connect" with people and feel connected and be with people who are aware of feelings and open to talk about them. I greatly value peace and harmony and people "getting along". I have been accused of being funny, love humor (jokes) and am definitely of a Far-Side-ish orientation. Playfulness and humor are "sine qua non" traits for me, essential both in myself and in any likely partner. As a friend says: "Child-like but not childish". Interests include reading and politics (liberal sided of course) and (embarrassingly) baseball. In general, I can get curious about most any idea-related subjects. Ideas and curiosity and that loaded word "intellectual" are very important to me. And I am quite playful and really value playfulness and fun and teasing and ... perspective. My two daughters, college and near the end of high-school, live mostly with their nearby mother though I see them very often and greatly value both.
Of course I like to and do (really) exercise regularly. Do I have any non-positive traits? Yes, I'm sure I do but I don't see any reason to list them here (space is limited). If we establish contact and you can't figure out any of my flaws, I'm sure I will be able to help you. Oh, yes. One more thing. I have never been a very "materialistic" person. For relationships, we need to find the potential to be good friends, warm, caring, open (aka non-defensive), communicate well, before anything else. Thanks for listening AND understanding. If this sounds interesting to you, please feel free to contact me. (FYI: I almost never respond to "winks". If interested, please write something.)

Meet a man from California, United States. I was recently asked by someone I had just met, "Are you normal?" Yikes! The head spins. I said, “I’ve been me so long and never really defied what my normal was compared to others.” Soooo… I went away thinking. It’s time to ask some friends and acquaintances what they think. I know that more than a few consider me a very good friend but I’ll have to refine this in awhile. I was fairly athletic some years ago but don’t have any sports that compel me now either as a participant or spectator.
I relate best with someone who has a zest for life, a sense of humor and a bit of mischief, and without bitterness or cynicism. I prefer someone with a kind heart and honest nature, quietly strong and confident but available to open up and reveal their more vulnerable side, too. You are intelligent for sure, with an inquiring mind, but probably not an "academic. Most likely you are athletic or active, but not compulsive. Not necessarily a career woman but one with active interests. I’m not sure what constitutes enough common interest. I’ve noticed that open, inquisitive people’s interests change enough over time that the elements of values, character and attitude are more important than current interests. Then of course there is CHEMISTRY. While this isn’t easy to describe I’d say the catalysts for me most often is playfulness and a soft loving nature.

Date single man from California, United States. I am intelligent, interesting and have worked 30 years since graduate school doing interesting work. Lucky to be living in the Bay area since there is so much available to do outdoors here. I enjoy good conversation, going to San Francisco or the beach or walking at Shoreline Park and sharing a glass of wine afterward. I enjoy cities, parks, museums, travel. I am looking for someone that will be my best friend, then my best lover that can appreciate me for who I am. Am looking for someone that enjoys doing many things and will be some new interests to my life also. If you thing that could be you send me a note.
