Date men from United States / California / San Leandro, 66 year old

Date a soulmate from San Leandro, United States. I've been single for 16 years (is that long enough? - there are those who would argue that no amount of years, where I'm concerned, would be long enough) and looking to be happy beyond what I probably deserve. My "ideal" mate I suppose would have to have a constantly evolving sense of humor, a quick wit, generously irreverent with more than a gentle mix of the ridiculous with the absurd, and topped with a light dusting of a curmudgeon's attitude. As we sink deeper into this quagmire of middle age with no apparent channels of escape except either lying about our ages (which I've discovered much to my dismay, is a popular pastime amongst some of the Match subscribers) or maybe an occasional injection of Botox or a Lifestyle Lift, when we can afford them, because after all, vanity IS everything - isn't it? Maybe our best chance at salvation would be a loving and lasting relationship which has proven to be for many of us an illusory and elusive proposition.
Contrary to what you might think to this point and through it all, I'm still a romantic at heart although sometimes to a fault as I've discovered as I've gotten older (this would have never happened in my formative years - I was much too guarded, shallow and superficial). My ideal would have to be attractive (well...at least to me anyway) and a real "babe" of indeterminate years would be highly preferable. And I'm happy to report after exhaustive and extensive research that "babeosity" for the genetically blessed and for those who've made a concerted effort to take care of themselves extends well into our 60s and THAT folks, is sexy! I'd want her to be compassionate, passionate, of good moral fiber (well...not THAT good, at least not around me), trustworthy and honest. I would want her to be direct and straightforward if things weren't progressing in the relationship as she had hoped, imagined, expected, or fantasized. If you're a fellow "battered performer" who has lived a little, learned a little, have loved recklessly and foolishly, knows heartbreak and has cried wasted tears, has been trampled underfoot in a relationship or two, and have reasonable expectations given some of our age limitations, there is still a chance for those of us who have the wherewithal and courage to work through some of the frustrations and inevitable dead ends this "buffet line" breeds to find a better and more peaceful place for our weary and well-traveled hearts to rest and relax with the right partner after a long life's journey (take a deep breath here and continue - you're almost through this tortuous maze). I would want her to be upfront and honest and have ideas and solutions on how to keep the relationship alive, working, and suggestions to make it better, keep it vital, but sensitive enough not to bruise my delicate constitution in the process.
If any of this resonates with you, I would love to hear from you...and then maybe you could explain it to me in a gentle, understanding manner, without raising your voice.
