Date a soulmate from San Rafael, United States. I am an independent, confident, easy going man who is a gentleman and enjoys treating a woman like a lady. Having recently retired I now have more time to pursue various activities and would enjoy the company of an intelligent, self-reliant woman. I have previously worked as a CPA and in real estate. Am looking for a compatible friend leading to a long term relationship of love and mutual caring.
Fortunately I have been blessed with good health and feel and act younger than my age. I keep in shape physically by exercising regularly as well as eating healthy. Have always been curious and enjoy exploring and learning new things - keeping my mind active and engaged is important to me. I like good conversation and have learned that listening is as important as talking. And, I don't have any vices or nasty habits I can think of. :)
Have always had a sense of humor and enjoy telling a funny joke or story as much as hearing one from others. I believe being able to see the lighter side of life just makes it so much more enjoyable.
I have traveled to countries on several continents around the world and look forward to future trips. Whether it's a weekend getaway or foreign travel, sharing the experience with the right companion would make it more enjoyable for both of us.
If you like activities that may be new to me I would be open to exploring those with you and you're welcome to do the same. While I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, bike riding and tennis, I can just as easily spend time indoors reading an interesting book or cuddling in front of a fireplace.
I am seeking a special lady who like myself is romantic, affectionate and spontaneous. I would prefer a woman who has the free time, desire and resources to do things with me like traveling extensively around the country and world, as well as other mutually enjoyable activities. If you are busy working full time and/or have family obligations or commitments that occupy most of your waking hours, this probably wouldn't work. I am willing to relocate for the right woman.
Meet men and women from San Rafael, United States. I'm friendly, open, in good shape, bright, funny, the father of a college junior daughter (San Diego), and would like to settle into a relationship, or a marriage, with an equal partner in whatever is next. Athletic, sensual and smart would be good, so would kind, with an inquisitive and helpful nature, and maybe guts on the side! Like you, probably, I'm wondering just why I'm here now, looking.
Grew up in the Midwest - Ohio, went to law school back East, lived briefly in Aspen (there wasn't a single MBZ in town - really!) and, later, in Monaco - been here since the early 70's.
Aimee Mann, Leonard Cohen, Ryan Adams, Tom Petty, Marc Cohn, Annie Lennox, Sarah Bareillis, Alanis Morissette, Richard Shindell, Sarah McLachlan, Chris Botti, Townes Van Zandt, Mark Knopfler - good! Out of Africa, An Affair to Remember, Only You, Cinema Paradiso, Nothing in Common, For Love of the Game (surprisingly good - not really about baseball), Life or Something Like It (the "Satisfaction" scene!), Love Actually, The Young Victoria (the scene where she asks / he asks him / her to marry - and the Sinead O'Connor song at the end), Gods and Monsters (Brendan Fraser - last scene - whew!), Princess Bride, Beauty and the Beast (in French - Jean Cocteau), The Winslow Boy, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon(I know - not your obvious choice), Finding Forrester, Possession, Two Family House, Playing by Heart (NO ONE saw this - the Angelina Jolie scenes - incredible), She's the One (no one saw this either - Tom Petty/Mike Campbell soundtrack and Jennifer Aniston - both really good), Two If By Sea - also really good. The last few, also a little obscure! But aren't we all, sometimes! Or - as I'm reading all these profiles - maybe we're ALL "intelligent, caring, curious, well-adjusted, happy, fun, etc" - You know what I'm talking about!! So we'll just see...
Thanks for looking.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. About me:
I am a kind, caring, calm, down to earth, and funny. You might want to know that I am rather intelligent and well-educated . Some people may be put off by my intellectual side, but it is just something I came to earth with, like my grey eyes. In other words, I had nothing to do with it. I'm quite straight straight-forward. I'll tell you what I think, but always in a kind and polite way. Am politically radical (to the far, far left), but don't go on and on about it. Was raised as a Christian, but later in life I explored various religious. I do not consider myself particularly religious, however. I'm more of an agnostic who sees that there is an extra dimension to life that some people call the spiritual.
Work: Between the ages of 20 and 65, I was a scholar, a researcher, and a Social Worker. Last year, I started buying rehabbing old houses. Because I treat each house like an art project, the work satisfies my creative side. Figuring out a new floor plan allows me to exercise my spacial relations ability and seeing an individual or family in a new house once I sell it, satisfies my desire to contribute to the community.
Play: Things I like to do include dining out in great restaurants; listening to good music; chatting with friends -- online and in person; attending live stand-up comedy, if it is not too gross. Afternoon recreation could include sipping coffee or tea with a new friend while talking and joking or walking my dog and feeding the ducks at the local pond. I like to to write poetry -- which is strange, because I don't like reading poetry. I prefer reading short stories to novels, because when I read novels I read them straight through in one or two sittings and don't get anything else done. I like to listen to light rock, oldies, soul, R 'n B, gospel, reggae, and music from throughout the world. I dislike classical music, hip-hop, and rap. I also love watching very good movies; and only very good movies. Unfortunately, I have seen most of them already. I totally love traveling and immersing myself in different cultures by living like the natives, as well as e immersing myself in different sub-cultures here -- different ethnic, age, economic, or religious subcultures -- here in the US.
Who I am Looking for:
I'm looking for n odd-ball gentleman to date and get to know, slowly. If you know how to do the wining and dining bit, let's strike up a conversation and see where it goes. You might find that I would wine and dine you back. My ideal long-term match is first and foremost a kind man. He knows how to be an equal partner with a woman, yet is also someone treats a woman like a lady. He's both emotionally and financially stable, and it would be nice if he were to the left politically, somewhat spiritual, and loved to travel -- though not absolutely necessary. Also, it would be fine with me, if he had many different interests from mine, as I'd like to be with someone who pursued his interests, while I pursued mine. He would have to understanding about the limitations my bad knees cause (at least until they are fixed) and grateful for my many amazing qualities. I would make a man who has most of the attributes I seek, a loyal and devoted partner.
