Date a soulmate from United States. I am an outgoing, very active and fit professional looking for someone who likes to hike, bike, ski, dance and try new things. I generally spend Sunday mornings on a 25-30 mile road bike ride with friends--would you like to join me? And I generally get in about 20 days a year skiing.
I also like live music, especially smooth and newer jazz, museums, arboretums and gardens, lectures and meeting new people.
Among other things, I was voted "most sincere" in my high school class and don't believe I've changed. I am an open, honest, "what you see is what you get" kind of guy. I'd like to meet someone who appreciates a guy who is successful in his field, intelligent, affectionate, honest, appreciates nature and the outdoors, and has a quick wit and good sense of humor. I would like someone who wants to be with me (but is independent enough to not need me). Note: primary photo was taken February 2011 while visiting my son in NYC. Most people think I am 8-10 years younger than I am.
Meet a man from United States. I am a deep passionate man. Funny, silly, and serious/mysterious. I work smart, not hard anymore. Enjoy time off and love weekend trips and travel. I am into metaphysical teachings. New age philosophies and have practiced the Course in Miracles for many years.I am a spiritual person and am open-minded to new perceptions. I love the L.A. Lakers and the Clippers. I would rather hang out with women then men. I enjoy being a gentleman and am very confortable with the opposite sex. I also love to be intimate and give a good back rub. Chemistry is important to me and no dating site can show me that but I am willing if you are!
Date single man from United States. Easy-going guy with a lot of cultural interests who would like to travel more. Likes to get out of the house, but can stay home and cuddle with the right person. Likes a woman with brains; if she has nice legs, it's a bonus. I'm cerebral but not too removed from my sensual side. You should be, too. I like a nice meal and maybe a glass of wine, don't you?
Meet a soulmate from United States. I seem to find myself back on this site sort of my accident but maybe the universe is telling me that a good match is now out there waiting to be discovered who wasn't there before. You won't find many pictures of me because frankly I don't have any and have not gotten around to having some taken. I'm usually taking pictures not in them. I am told my best feature are my eyes which were once called 'bedroom' eyes. Quite a line, huh? Character, sense of humor and kindness are more important to me than looks. My friends will say that I am easy going, actually my attention span isn't long enough to stay upset over anything. I believe that the more you know about the world, the more you will get out of it. I can usually find something interesting to read in the dentist office magazine rack even if the National Geographic magazines are ancient. I love to travel though usually don't go for the package tours except for places that I just don't feel comfortable traveling unguided. Took tours for China, Macho Pichu, Turkey and India last year, where we stayed in a tiger reserve and saw a magnificent male quite close up. Otherwise I prefer driving and exploring. Greece and Italy are my favorites for that so far, though Holland, Portugal, Ireland, England were good too. I'm hoping for Cyprus, France and Scandinavia in the near future.
I have to be honest that I'm not really very athletic though am certified in scuba but discovered that I have a bit of claustrophobia. Used to sail when I lived in Long Beach and loved that. Love anything to do with the ocean. Lived on Kauai in Hawaii for several years in my hippie youth. Hiked with the Sierra Club in Griffith Park before I got a house which now takes up quite a bit of spare time. I'm thinking of getting a bike for the beach. Otherwise my exercise is mostly gardening these days and exploring on vacation. Such is life! I don't mind if the men in my life enjoy sports though as long as they have some other interests and are not golf fiends or couch potato TV watchers or don't require me to sit there with them.
Instead I'll being looking at road maps or smelling my roses.....
Date people from United States. I am hopeful, as we all are, for a companion to enjoy adventures with, learn from and laugh with, who is as curious about what's next as I am. A sense of humor, love of books, movies and cooking (own lots of cookbooks and often exercise in front of the TV as I watch Food Network) are among my virtues. No slouch in athletics either, as I regularly walk briskly around the Rose Bowl!
I'm open to someone who finds something to laugh about every day, and would enjoy traveling to unexpected places, or just a hike in the hills or a walk in downtown LA to MOCA or Grand Central Market. I am open to most adventures...wait - I can't say I'd climb Half Dome. But I'd watch you do it and I'd cheer you on!
Haven't traveled much while raising kids,but they are grown now so I'm off to see the world. I did spend 2 wks in Istanbul, and would happily return there tomorrow! Also, just came back from Maui and Kauai for the first time...lovely! I have also spent much time on the Central Coast, Seattle, Washington state and love Vancouver Island!
Finally, I appreciate compassion, and hope to find it in another even as I work to cultivate it in myself. It's fun to talk books, art, movies while we polish off a nice bottle of wine and tapas... that's a glimpse into my idea of a good time.
I retired from teaching in June 2011 and have my volunteer activities lined up, but there's always time and space to build new relationships, with laughter and appreciation for "Life's Rich Pageant" as REM once put it.

Meet someone special from Pasadena, United States. Smart men excite me! I'd like to find a man who can stimulate me intellectually, a man who leads his own satisfying and successful life, but who wants to find the right woman to make his life even better.
I'm a warm and emotionally available woman who loves to kiss, hug and touch. Even though I'm very busy with my career, I always have plenty of time for those I love and enjoy.

You have probably noticed that my photo is missing on my profile. I'm not going to post a photo on Match.com because I'm concerned with my privacy, but I'd be very happy to send you a picture via email.
I love to share intelligent conversation, closeness and intimacy. I enjoy gardening on my hillside yard, and have many beautiful succulent plants. I love to walk near my hillside home, and try to take a long (and fast!) walk daily. I read at least one book every week, sometimes more -- I no longer buy books and love the library, and when I find a good author, I go to the website of the LA Public Library to request everything he/she has written, and then read all of it.
I would truly enjoy a lively and far-ranging conversation with you, sitting on my back deck overlooking the San Gabriel mountains and the city lights, sharing our favorite wine, some nice food and exchanging intimacies. Want to join me?
If you want an independent, intelligent, attractive, loving partner who will thrill you, challenge your thoughts, listen intently to your viewpoint, charm you and your friends, be there for you in thick or thin, travel to exotic places with you, and surround you with love, then I look forward to hearing from you.
