Date women from United States / California / Pioneer, 48 year old

Date a woman from United States. I can honesty say I am not ugly, not bragging but always been told pleasant on the eyes. With that being said I am proud of my age and I am not an insecure person at all, even at "48". yes my real hair, yes I still keep it long, that's just the way I roll, but I don't consider myself high maintenance. Most of all looking for a friend at this time and see where it goes from there. If the "kiss" isn't right then nothing else can be as great as it can be, trust me! When it comes to catching my interest, I have to be honest and say that I am picky... I like what I like and would expect the same of you, in other words I have to be attracted or I will not waste my time, I really don't need to and you shouldn't either, life is to short. I can and have take care of myself, I do have a brain, but it is nice to be sharing or being with someone of the opposite sex, just not anyone, the right one! I am Just finally breathing!! I do like my space but I also enjoy spending time with the right person. I am in no hurry, this kind of thing shouldn't be rushed anyways. I have to get to know a person, I just don't fall easy, sorry, just keeping it real....
You should be "a kind hearted gentleman, fun to be with, honest, sincere, not into games, played those in my twenties and I'll bet I won more than they did, LOL! Don't have time for that.
No disrespectful, arrogant men allowed, its nice to be positive and/or self assured, but I am just simply not interested in male chauvinist or on that lines (no pushy man), those are a dime a dozen and way to easy to find, just got rid of one! Would like to find an equal to, someone who is respectful and appreciates the same. Not sure if this is the right spot, but I do work alot and if I don't respond to you fast that does not mean I am not interested but if nothing after a week you can safely assume I am not and I won't waste your time either. Gosh I sound brutally arrogant now, but I am not, I am actually a sweet, good person, I promise!
P.S.: Kids are grown, but I do have two beautiful grandchildren that I adore, yes I am a young "GI GI"!
