Date men from United States / California / Santa Barbara, 57 year old

Date a man from California, United States. I am Mr. cool from the seventies that valued everything except the true valued items. I knew it all and lost it all persuing the elusive. Now I am paying the price for this attitude. I'm lost and can't say enough to fill this space - I was married to one of the original girls of the 70's back when you knew what you were getting. I took her for granted working all the time. Not running around ! Now I am on this dating site!

Meet someone special from California, United States. About me... I love the ocean and nature where I find grounding, peace and fun. The right person for me also needs to share a love of nature. I enjoy being outdoors, being in the Sierras, going for hikes, biking, sailing and skiing. I also still surf, albeit not as often as I used to. I guess you'd say I'm pretty active "for an old dude!" I am looking for someone who enjoys the outdoors (a love of sailing or an interest in learning to sail would be a huge plus) and takes full advantage of all the perks that Santa Barbara offers.
What else? I really love to laugh, have a very well developed sense of humor, and I pride myself on my ability to have fun, no matter the situation. I am an optimist and my natural inclination is to always see the very best in others. I am a pretty happy guy, value personal growth, and am self aware. I work for a non-profit in Santa Barbara, which is a fairly recent change for me--and I am very glad I made this transition! It warms my heart to be of service to others. I am fiscally responsible, (being a banker for 30 years will do that to you), and while I understand people do interesting things with money, I am looking to create a relationship of equals.
I really enjoy getting to know new people, making friends, open and meaningful conversations and having new adventures. It might sound cheesy, but I am a romantic and am a very affectionate person by nature. Yes, I like to cuddle while reading or watching a movie, and I am not too proud to admit it! I'm not the best dancer, but I love to swing dance, and also enjoy live music. I am not a polished performer but I love to sing and will take the risk of singing Karaoke in public
Hopefully this gives you a sense of who I am and what I am looking for with regard to the right person for me! I am looking to find a quality woman who is emotionally available, communicative, stable, fun loving, physically active, and affectionate. You are a woman of integrity, loyalty and openness. You are a giving, nurturing woman. You like to talk and are willing to tell me about yourself when we meet. We may not have all the same interests, as people develop uniquely over time, and I admit, my activity level is pretty high. But there should be enough commonality for us to be able to say that we are each other's best friend. I am interested in creating a permanent relationship with someone who can receive all the affection and interest I show her and return a similar account.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am a Brit who has lived in Santa Barbara for the past few years. My loves are my children,of course, followed by tennis and travel. I have that weird British sense of humor but I am still lots of fun. I was a CEO of a software company which I sold in 1999 giving myself the opportunity to do very much as I want, not super wealthy but well off. I have three children at college who come home to me at vacation time, they are really fun.
My friends would call me social and someone who is there for them and vice versa.
I love going to concerts, all types of music, Def Leppard, Beach Boys, Beck, Sugarland etc., symphony, chamber, opera,ballet you name it I love it (maybe not rap ), my motto could be " Life without music would be a mistake".
I support several charities financially and I do volunteer work for SEE International who give sight to blind people. I have worked with eye surgeons in Peru and Vietnam and I am off to India this year. I am on some non profit boards.
I attend church although I am not particularly religious although I am very grateful for all God has given me in this life. I love to meditate when ever I have time.
I have good energy and fine health.
I have several other interests, hiking, power walking, beach,cooking, eating out, reading exciting biographies,investing,debating, good indie films and I am open to most things where I do not put my life in peril.
I have just come out of a 4 year relationship, she is still a dear friend, so I am not looking for a serious relationship immediately but more of a fun friendship, someone who is open to travel and have a good time. I would like her to have some mutual interests which we can do together. If I find someone to travel with me I would, of course, pay all the associated costs.
I am empathetic and am looking for some to reflect that in their personality, but still have opinions of their own. I would like some one who is comfortable in their own skin and happy to meet new people.
Superwoman are you out there!!!!
What makes me laugh out loud, good sophisticated humor not crass 4 letter word variety, an example " exit signs are on the way out". If you do not get it please do not be put off.
I am passionate about life itself, social life active, grateful to be alive and healthy and I am looking for the same, good luck.

Date a soulmate from Santa Barbara, United States. Together, we will revel in our uniqueness, and conspire in our creativity. We'll stay out of the mainstream, and explore together, searching for beauty and wonder in nature, in art, in wilderness, in country, town and city; in outer space and inner space. A great relationship, forged from love and affection; bonded with respect, romance, and compassion. Spiced with a sense of humor, a sense of the divine, and a dash of craziness. Who is with me on this?

Meet single man from Santa Barbara, United States. Hi,
I am a total Newbie to this, so please bear with me..........
I am a single guy who is very grateful about life.
I live on the cliffs of the beach in Santa Barbara, and have never had another job but music. I consider myself very lucky.
I have the coolest kid on earth( also a pro musician...go figure....:).
I love the simple things in life( food,fun, sun, sand, surf, wine, mountains, ocean, good conversation, etc....)
I also believe in true Karma, and being a good human. Truth, honesty, loyalty, and integrity, is what I am all about, and it is also what i hope to find in that special someone.
I love to travel, and explore, and am always up for any kind of adventure. Obviously culture and music play a big part in my life, but so does anything outdoors, or exercise related. Someone with a sense of humor would also be great!
I love to laugh, and not take life too seriously. I try to enjoy each and every moment as it comes, because life is a precious thing that i never take for granted. I try to enjoy each, and every day. Hopefully i have refined myself through time that everyday that you wake up healthy, is a good day, but I have to admit that I really like the very special good days....:)!
It would be great to find someone to hang out with and enjoy the same things.
Have a great day!
Kenny

Date a man from United States. My women friends would probably describe me with the following comments: non-aggressive, big brown eyes, kind, soft spoken, sane, intellectual, romantic, passionate, and funny.
I'm a new comer to California but settling in very nicely, and recently bought a home in Santa Barbara. I have a great new career in science and engineering that challenges my intellect and creativity, and I'm fortunate enough to work with a group of smart, dedicated and fun people working in the non-profit sector. My world would be all the more exciting with the right woman to share it with!
When not working, I also enjoy movies, dining out, taking in some live music at a club, movies, reading, field trips, exploring, airshows, museums, astronomy, geology, philosophy, lectures, or just kicking back at home with a glass of wine and someone special. I'm also working on a fine-art painting, and writing a book, although lately I seem to have little time for either (you will no doubt make my free time situation even worse, but I forgive you in advance)!
So, in summary, here's the deal:
What I'm looking for: A woman that's intellectually and physically stimulating, warm, happy, playful, pretty smile, great hygiene & well groomed, fit and feminine. Someone that loves to kiss.
What I'm NOT looking for: Materialistic, needy, dull, cold, dependent, princess, or player.
What you'll get out of the deal: To spend some quality time with a nice, level-headed, normal, traditional and romantic guy who doesn't take himself too seriously.

I am not as athleletic as some and move a bit slowly. I do enjoy dance,the arts, music, and am told am a good listener.
