Date men from United States / California / Pleasant Hill, 46 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. I survived my divorce after 16 years of marriage. I have been out of the dating scene for more than 17 years. We separated almost 2 years ago and I am just beginning to look around. Eating alone or with the "guys" gets old after a few years. :-) I would love to make more friends and possibly more...
I am very easy to get along with. I have a great sense of humor. My friends tell me that I missed my calling as a stand-up comedian. I always try to see the humor in things.
I am a sweet guy, but not a pushover. I am a peaceful person, but I did work for a year and a half as a Tae Kwan Do instructor.
I go to the gym every day. I am not fitness crazy, but I have really good genes (thanks mom and dad) and I intend to live a healthy and active life for another 60 years. (maybe longer with bionic parts) LOL
I love to cook and explore new culinary choices and new restaurants. I really like finding new little diners with amazing food and atmosphere.
I love animals, film and pretty much all kinds of music except for gangsta' rap. I don't like the violent messages it gives kids.
I also love to travel. I just got back from Spain a few weeks ago and I am going to Paris again in July.
I am looking for a woman who wants a secure, affectionate, honest man to build a life with and explore the world. Everyone in my family on both sides lives to be very elderly while staying healthy - 90s and above. Good genes. That means I have another 50 years to enjoy life, but I would prefer to share that life with another special person.
I am an onion. I have layers, but I won't make you cry to find out more.
