Date men from United States / California / Sacramento, 53 year old - page 3

Date someone special from United States. No longer a subscriber...I can't view or answer emails, but if you're reasonably smart, you can figure out how to contact me.
I currently live on a sailboat out in the Delta (and I rather like it out here). I'm a master carpenter, computer wizard, blacksmith, and all-around renaissance man.
Fit/athletic, 5'9", 170lbs, brown hair, grn eyes, I've tried to remain reasonably in shape over the years. (All natural, too. I don't do drugs, and I don't need Viagra. lol!)
Note the ZZ Top beard in progress. I've always wanted to see what a long beard would look like...and now's my opportunity. Sorry about that :) Believe it or not there's a baby-face underneath there. True story :)
In all honesty, it is somewhat difficult to pinpoint in words exactly what I am looking for in a 'match', but I'll know it when I run into it.
I suppose what I'm looking for is a partner and companion ...a new 'best friend'. Someone to share experiences with, and with whom one enjoys spending their time (and vice-versa). A 50/50 partnership based on equality, honesty, and trust. And communication, please, as I'm not good at reading female minds (is any guy?) lol!
I seem to prefer intelligent, strong women who are able to hold their own in most things, including conversation. I also have no problem with those who have opinions that differ from mine. Debate is good. Argument is bad.
A sense of humor is good, and I don't mind sarcasm or cynicism either. I don't really care whether you believe that the glass is half full or half empty, as long as you recognize that its at the halfway point.
What I'm definitely not looking for is selfish or self-centered individuals who are primarily out for themselves, and who operate under the 'my way or the highway' rule. In other words, compromise is good. No compromise is bad.
For the record, I have no real desire to be a 'serial dater' in perpetuity on match.com. This is a means to an end, and not a hobby or pastime. If it happens it happens, I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I find that the older I get, the less inclined I am to put up with games and horses**t. Particularly from a dating site.
While I may look broody, mean and/or pissed off in photos, I'm actually a nice guy... too nice at times it would appear...and there really is a smile underneath that beard.
Thanks for stopping by, and good luck in your search. (OK, that's a lie ....I really don't care one way or the other. lol!)

Meet single man from United States. I'm not good about talking about myself, since I do not have an ego, so doing this part, I'm not that comfortable doing it. I'm looking for someone who free spirit and enjoy life. If that is you go ahead and flirt with me. I love to flirt.

Date a soulmate from United States. Hi! Thanks for reading about me and I hope you're doing well. Here's the good, the bad and the...well, "ugly" is such a turn off word. Maybe "funny looking" would be better.
I'm looking for that heart with which I can place my own.
I wish to totally love and be loved by my best friend, my partner in crime, my soulmate. Someone whose hand I can hold, but more than that; when she takes my hand, it feels as though we're speaking to each other. I feel her touch not just on my skin, but down into my core. We can see each others' souls in each others' eyes.
I'm looking for someone who is juuuust wierd enough for me. Half Martha Stewart, half Mae West, half Morticia Addams. Her smile is like sunshine to me, and her sense of humor is just a bit warped. She loves touching and being touched. She has a huge heart...the most beautiful thing of all about her.
Someone with whom to share life's joys and sorrows. Mostly joys, we hope. I'm a good kisser in search of a good kisser, and believe you can't give (or get) too many smooches. Someone to go to events with, have dinner with and see shows and movies...to do all the things that seem to work better with two.
I'm polite, kind, generous, thoughtful, passionate and generally a happy guy. I love to go down to old town to catch a comedy show. I LOVE comedy in all it's forms, including organic. I could point out here that I love to laugh and have fun, but who doesn't? I will point out that a great laugh shared with your special one is priceless.
I love running, working out, grilling out, the outdoors, hiking, and camping. (Sadly, quiet camping is hard to find)I like backpacking too, but haven't been in a while. I used to scuba dive and loved it! I make a serious effort to stay in shape and be healthy. I grow a lot of my own vegetables, and try to stay organic - I don't use chemicals of any kind in my veggie garden. Music is huge with me. My brain is an Ipod that never turns off. I'm a wanna be guitar player. I used to be pretty good, I think, but it took a back burner for so long my fingers forgot what they're supposed to do. OH! Almost forgot - I love a good cup of Joe.
I'm a welder by trade. Welding and metal fabrication is creative work that I enjoy. It's a balance between art and science, really. It's fun to see what I've done when I'm finished.
I'm very honest and practical.
I have always tried to live sensibly and within my means.
OK, as promised:
THE GOOD: I don't smoke, drink or use drugs
THE BAD: I love the wierd, strange and bizarre in spite of this
THE FUNNY LOOKING: I drink too much coffee - but I share
THE GOOD: I can be very funny

Date someone special from Sacramento, United States. I and am very passionate towards the ones I love; my two kids, friends, career and especially my life partner. I tend to put them first before myself. As I get older I see life to be appreciated and want to enjoy it to the fullest. I am a positive and a disciplined person who needs comedy in life and loves to take risks. The person you meet today is same you'll know in six-months.
I enjoy the simple things in life like being at home and cooking. I enjoy fishing/hunting, camping, travelling and being outdoors. I enjoy dining; anything from a lakeside picnic to dinner by candle light at a nice restaurant. Physical attraction, compatibility, and partnership are vital and equally important for me in a relationship because I’m looking for a future soul mate. I'm big on conflict resolution versus winning an argument. I'm most definitely into being there for that other person with reciprocation. I want to be around someone who is positive about herself and wants to enjoy life. A women who can dress up for that "night out" or the dress down in a pair of levis and get a little dirty, wild and have fun. And kids don't scare me off, they just keep one younger at heart.
I'm looking for that lady, who is employed and financially independent because I have worked very hard to get to where I am financially. She is one who still doesn’t mind the doors being opened for her, loves to listen-laugh-love, has an appetite for healthy living and is height weight proportionate. If she is a mother than I understand that the children are a priority and should come first. She must be a romantic at heart and comfortable in expressing intimacy and affection.
Life's too short. I don't take myself or others too seriously. I don’t sweat the small stuff. I've experienced enough to know what is and isn't the small stuff. I'm smart and I have enough common sense to realize there is so much I don't know but as life goes on, life is an on-going education. We've got to find the comedy in things! Some of my past experiences have taught me what true humility, and gentleness really is. I have a thirst for knowledge and there really isn't much that I'm not interested in. I’ll try anything once.

Date a soulmate from Sacramento, United States. I've been a musician since I was eight years old and a drummer since I was twelve(you can do the math). My background is primarily in symphonic/marching percussion as a player/composer/arranger but I have played in funk, blues and rock bands throughout. Currently I play with a Heavy Metal/Hard Rock project and participate in several blues jams across the Sacramento region.
My favorite quote is by Albert Collins: "When I started playing I was told that simple music is the hardest music to play. And blues is simple music." Blues is simple in it's structure, but in it's heart and soul it is ever changing, ever evolving. One blues song heard by ten different people can have ten different meanings, evoke ten different emotions...it's never the same. Each time I play a song, although it may be the same tune, it reflects the emotion of the moment. It's what makes it so fresh to me.
