Date women from United States / California / Palos Verdes Estates, 59 year old

Date a woman from United States. A little about me... Although I am not originally from L.A., I now call it home as I've lived here 30 years. I work hard, and in recent years, have learned to better balance my life. I enjoy the beach, mountains, and desert (not when it's 100 degrees though). In my spare time, I enjoy movies, concerts (Hollywood Bowl, the Greek, etc.), art museums and art festivals, photography, dining out with friends, as well as staying home and watching old movies or working on my home projects. Although I enjoy hiking, I've not had an opportunity to do this recently. I try to get to the gym several times a week and try to eat a healthy diet. I am a dog lover, but don't have any pets now. At some point, though, I'd love to get a dog to greet me each day - - how can you resist that wagging tail and unconditional love?!
About the one I'm looking for... Some of the qualities I am seeking in a partner include a sense of humor, similar values, intelligence, integrity, sincerity, honesty, and a good communicator. That special chemistry is also required, but how can that be defined? I prefer someone who doesn't smoke and either does not drink or drinks socially. (Also no drugs please.) I do not consider myself to be athletic, so anyone seeking a partner for any extreme sports would probably not be a good match. I'd also like to find someone who is financially responsible and who has a sense of generosity and values courtesy and goodwill towards others.
I'd just like to add... I'd like to find someone who is independent, but who has the time to devote to building a good relationship. Over time, I've learned that compromise, patience, compassion, and good communication are required for a relationship to last. Being supportive of each other in good times and bad is also of utmost importance. Good relationships take work, and I'd like to find someone who understands this and is willing to put in the time and effort for a good relationship.
