Date women from United States / California / Pleasant Hill, 55 year old

Date a woman from United States. Hey there.... this is where I try to sound totally appealing and irresistible, huh?
I have a mix of attributes - fun, intelligent, passionate, spontaneous, comfortable with who I am, flirtatious, clumsy on occasion, and I have a bit of a dry (sarcastic?) sense of humor. Of course we all have faults and I am no exception, but IРІР‚в„ўm always working towards a positive disposition.
Important things..... peace, grace, laughter, self respect. My friends and family keep me company and my two kids-make me proud every single day. It would be nice to have someone to share my time with.
While I like the usual stuff such as flying kites on the beach, hot dogs at the ball park, Sunday champagne brunch, dancing to the blues and martinis on the patio, I also have some unique quirks - my nose itches when I'm irritated, I can’t read books written in the first person because all the “I”s on the page distract me, I don't care which side the toilet paper falls, and I love taking photos (much to my daughters dismay).
Music is the greatest gift that mortals know and I enjoy almost any form or venue. But...a whole in the wall with great rock or blues, burgers and beer...yum!
I lean to the left politically, so I would hope you either lean with me, or are willing to discuss/debate without malice.
IРІР‚в„ўm looking to take my time and enjoy getting to know someone, so if you are interested, send a message. IРІР‚в„ўd love to learn more about you.

Meet someone special from United States. I have an adventurous spirit with a direct engaging style. I love to laugh, love to get out and do things; hikes, concerts, traveling. I'm loyal, sensitive to others, passionate. It’s easy for me to have friends from different walks who’s world views may vary from my own. I’m drawn to open minded people I learn from and I love funny people. My own humor is on the dry side… unless I’m feeling goofy.
YouРІР‚в„ўre a smart and thoughtful man looking for a best friend and lover. Generous by nature, kind, confident, playful, fit, humorous, sensible, and sensuous, you hike or backpack, or cycle or something else... because you're the outdoor type! You have kids or have been involved in kids lives. My son is 12, friendly and enthusiastic, crazy about math and musc, likes to hike and cycle with me.
I'm an affectionate, giving person who's good at being supportive of you. I enjoy cooking together, exploring new places, and sharing a slow weekend getting up late, discussing the week's events, heading off to the farmer's market or a hike and relaxing. I grew up in a family of debaters so I'm not likely to be bored or bowled over if you subscribe to Nature or the Financial Times. Don't be surprised that I know the Universe theoretically has more strings than a guitar!
You enjoy a lively partner and want to explore the world and spend the rest of our lives enjoying it together. You may see yourself as more of a woman's man than a man's man, and if that intrigues you, I would like to meet you.
