Date single man from California, United States. A little about me...
I'm very easy going, low maintenance. I appreciate a bond of two people when they are in love and care deeply for each other. They begin as best friends and blossom into the love of each others lives. It is rare to reach this level, but I believe it is possible and that is what I'm looking for and will not accept anything less.
I enjoy working with my hands either repairing or creating something. I have owned a Auto Repair shop and cars have been a passion of mine since my adolescence. I am gifted in all types of construction. Designed and built a great portion of my prior home and shop. Enjoy the transformation of home improvement projects and take great pride in my workmanship. I walk daily and try to exercise 3-4 times a week. Enjoy Golf and wish I had the time to play more of it. My musical interest include all types of music except Rap. I play the drums. Another passion of mine is cooking. I like all types of foods,the kinds I prepare are Thai, Mexican, BBQ, Smoking,and old time Jewish comfort foods i.e. Pot Roast, Roasted Chicken, and Matzo Ball Soup to name a few.
I believe that if you are passionate and dedicated in your career, money will follow.
What are you looking for in a partner?
I am looking for my partner to be a partnership with me and all aspects of life. Communication and love are foremost for a marriage and relationship to survive. The woman of my dreams is sexy, comfortable in her own skin, not afraid to express her emotions, romantic, self-sufficient but enjoys the support of her husband and will work to reach common goals and dreams. No Gold-diggers, my wife will never be in need of anything important in life. I will be happy to be with this woman without smothering her and miss her when we are not together. Enjoying banter and joking are key to a happy life. I will love looking deeply into my future wife's eyes and be able to read her heart.
I'd just like to add...
Having "Date Nights" each week is something we should look forward to. Family life is what I am now missing and desire. I had to leave my dog "Auggie" in Hawaii due to her health. She is a Chihuahua/Fox Terrier, she came from the animal shelter and we had been companions for 11 years and I feel that I will probably always have some sort of pet around. Want to develop closer ties with Children and Grand-children as well as my future wife's extended family. I miss family gatherings.

Meet a man from California, United States. I'm happily retired, financially secure and in great health. I can do just about anything I want to do physically. I've had a condo in San Diego since 2001 and keep a home near Seattle where I worked and lived most of my life. I'm mostly in San Diego in winter and mostly in Seattle in summer but I fly down to San Diego a lot in summer too.
My travel experiences the past four years include extended trips to Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Scotland, England,. Norway, Spain, and Portugal. I've had great experiences in all the countries I have visited and hope to see more places before too long.
I'd try a long distance relationship if there was sustained contact part of the time. I'm independent and responsible but capable of forming healthy attachments.
Although I play golf a lot and enjoy the challenge of trying to improve at the game, I have other interests. I've had a tendency toward intense interests and worked hard and was quite responsible through my adult life, although at this time I am a lot more spontaneous and might seem nomadic. I'm well educated in an academic sense but self taught in other areas like carpentry and investing.
I have time and would like to travel more with the right companion. I've done trips abroad by myself and would happily travel with someone if I met a compatible traveling companion interested in going to the same destination(s). I am interested in travel to Asia, probably China and Japan.
I'm definitely open to women from different ethnic groups and like multi-cultural and cross-cultural experiences.
I'd like to meet someone in good health who takes good care of herself with hobbies and interests compatible with mine. I'd like to meet an open minded woman with a social philosophy that involves personal responsibility in her own life and respect and compassion for others.

Date someone special from California, United States. San Diego and Lake Tahoe, NV - Full of life, hopeless romantic with a fun edge. Life is for the living and I love to see a smile and people truly having fun.
I'm a 30 year plus resident of Lake Tahoe that for the immediate future must be in Rancho Bernardo (San Diego), and travels about a week to 10 days a month. My primary client is in Jacksonville, FL and I am the head of a non-profit headquartered in Portland, OR.
More importantly who am I as a person? A fair self-assessment of myself would be that I’m a kind alpha male that is confident enough to cherish, nurture and defer to my partners strengths. I also believe in old school chivalry, am spontaneous, attentive, optimistic, gentle, clean up quite well, physically fit, have the highest degree of personal integrity and am a man of my word. A veteran with a strong sense of right and wrong that volunteers his time to help others.
NOT TO WORRY about my nice guy demeanor - As you look into the twinkle in my eyes and my smile it won't take long for you to find out that I have just enough "devil" in me to make life fun, and very interesting!
Simply love to dance - country, waltz, cha cha, swing, salsa or… I'm patient, gentle and always with a smile. I wake up every morning on the sunny side of the street. I live life through an outdoor life style: sports, any activity with water or snow, natural hot springs, skinny dipping, romantic evenings, all dancing, horses, hiking and cycling. As well I love shows, the theatre, history and observing the micro cultures that we as a nation are composed of. I'm well traveled, and like exploring new places.
Looking for a best friend, lover and a special person to share my life with. She must be her own person (self confident), intelligent with a sense of humor and bring-it twinkle in her eyes. Glass half full personality that loves to live life, is adventurous, tall, physically fit, attractive and is comfortable at the beach, on a mountain top or in that little black dress.
Long term relationship is not only my desire, it's my preference. Married once and we were together 28 years and my longest date since was 4 years.
If you have that twinkle in your eyes and are intelligent, confident, honest, sincere, active, fit, fun loving and young of heart and would like to meet someone like yourself, you found him!
My preference is for someone in my getting better age range, but a good friend who is more than 20 years younger recently said to me, DO NOT preclude us, you're too alive and fun. Therefore let me state it this way, what's truly important to me is that you too want to live life on the sunny side of the street and you want a best friend to share it with. If you think this could be you, simply say hi. Ya never never know!
Oh! If you've opted not to post a picture with your profile, it's time to step up and attach one if you send email or wink. You've seen mine, now it's your turn. :-) aka choddy on ya

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I've alsways been an aviation nut. One of the most interesting and exciting times of my life was 9 years of Navy fliying. I still wear my old Navy Flight Jacket which has seen about 3 or 4 refurbishments. If you look closely at my wings, you'll see that I was not a pilot. I flew as a weapons system operator on all sorts of interesting missions. The Navy was good to me. I joined just out of high school at the age of 17, and those 9 years were qluite a ride. But, more importantly, I developed a purpose as well as an encouraging sense of who I was and who I could be.
Out of the Navy, I lived in San Jose where I obtained my BSEE Degree from San Jose State University. The Bay Area got a little crowded, so I lucked out when my company moved me to San Diego.
I like to go to shows, musicals, and obviously, Air Shows at Miramar. The city of Vista has a beautiful "Moonlight Ampither" where I've gone to some terrific muscial shows during the Summer. The Bernardo Winery puts on some great jazz, as well as some good wine during the summer. I love to go to movies, particularly Sci-Fi. My latest favorite movie is "Avatar". I hope they make more movies like that. I'm an avid reader and I think I read every book written by Michener, Clancy, DeMille, and Follett. I write a little poetry, and can draw pretty good cartoons from scratch on the computer, using only the mouse. Some of my Technical Diagrams and Analysis Reports may include Snoopy, Charlie Brown, or Garfield.
I love to eat, but I'm a lousy cook. Obviously I prefer going out to eat, to enjoy some great Prime Rib, or search for the perfect Hamburger. My wife and I had a terrific relationship. She loved to cook, and I loved to eat. I have a pretty good tan during the summer because I swim a lot in my back yard pool. Also, to atone for my large appetite, I work out about 3 days a week at LA Fitness. I fill out my 6 ft 1 inch frame with a weight which is close to 200 lbs. But I'm told that I look too thin for that weight range.
I love to go out to night clubs and dance. I'm told that I'm a very good dancer. I think by the same liar who told me that I look thin.
I enjoy traveling, especailly on cruises (the food is great!). I really love my job, which involves desgining Aircraft. In general, i'm really enjoying this later stage of my life.
I'm looking for a pretty lady, with a good figure, and an upbeat attidue for living and enjoyment of her life. I would like to share my life with her to enjoy the things I've listed here.

Date single man from California, United States. I am a young 67 and keep busy in my favorite activities: golf, motorcycling, traveling, dining out (I don't cook, but trying to learn), dancing (I am not great but looking to take dance lessons-really want to learn west coast swing), reading, exercising (just started back at the gym with a trainer to lose about 10 pounds and get from that "average" to "athletic/toned" category!), and beach time or anything outdoors.
I am a romantic and would love having a woman in my life that could accept love, devotion and commitment....and give it as well....as many say, a best friend, soulmate and lover....someone to share activities with together, yet allow each their "own time" as desired. I was born in New Orleans and raised in Dallas, so what I would consider a southern gentleman. I always open doors for the ladies.
I have the energy to continue working another 3-4 years, with freedom to do some traveling. I have been in the same industry for 31 years.
I have two grown children who I am very close to: my son in San Diego and my daughter in San Francisco with her husband and my two grandbabies who are precious.
I find it difficult to write about myself in paragraphs such as these, but if interest is sparked a conversation could be more beneficial. A friendship made would be welcomed, but if there is that all important chemistry, then who knows......

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Intelligence, attitude, and tolerance were always important but even more so as I get older. I also believe that we need to keep active and maintain a healthy lifestyle as we enter the 4th quarter of life. It's about quality more than quantity. I am an old rocker--the Ayatollah of Rock n' Rolla. I am a believer in education for a lifetime. Good coffee and great conversation!! Sunrises and sunsets. I have season tickets to the Old Globe, Museum of Art, Musem of Man, Space Center, Symphony, SD Zoo--to see my relatives. Life is messy and we have so little control over it; only what we say and do. My mother used to tell me: "Attitude is everything. So pick a good one." It's a daily decision that we each must make--what is your choice today? Keep smiling! My feet are always warm! Cold feet are welcome.
