Date men from United States / California / Santa Barbara, 59 year old

Date someone special from Santa Barbara, United States. I am passionate about life, but most people describe me as low key. I think of it as calm, lol...
I love living on this earth, and I seek a fit and healthy woman-person to share that life with.
It begins with exploring friendship. Endorphins take care of the first six months, but then we have a whole lifetime.
In a partner/lover/friend I am looking to share the good stuff. The things that make a wonderful relationship in my eyes are simple but vital. Respect and support ... caring and consideration.
To me, intimacy is a delicious gift. I love touch, snuggling, and physical closeness.
The universe gave us skin for a reason; and lips, too.
I am a hopeless romantic, in the good way. I like being in love, and for a long time.
I believe in exercising my body and mind, and challenging them as well. I read, study, and enjoy new experiences. I enjoy museums, exhibits and seminars. I hike, bike, and pretty much everything with an "S" in it. I love to dive and snorkel. I am a water puppy, no question. I run and lift weights regularly, mostly so I can keep doing what I love to do.
I do want someone athletic enough to share some of the outdoors with. I am an outdoor guy.
I’m an indoor guy too. and I want a friend, so that means shared interests, and open curious minds. It's not just about me; there is another person, and I support their life as well. I want to learn about you. I am emotionally connected, and still growing.
At this point, adults have complex lives. We don’t have to spend 24/7 together, but we should be glad to see each other. Healthy space, healthy togetherness. If the core of a relationship is good, the details iron out...
I eat healthy food and take care of myself because I want to enjoy life to the fullest. It's not a religion, but I would like a partner who cares.
Note: That does include red wine and dark chocolate. And occasional good hamburgers. And, ok, quality pizza. (Healthy food gives us room to play;)
I'm a good cook, and I make my pancakes from scratch!
And yes, I relax well.
I like traveling, and am looking forward to new places. I consider the Southwest my backyard, and I spend time in the Sierras every year.
I've had a rich career; everything from firefighting to an artist.
(and, a certified massage therapist...)
Life has given me a lot, and I believe in paying it forward. As an elder in our society, I mentor, counsel, and teach. I love the human race, and I can't get enough of 'em.
I am a calm, passionate, masculine man, and I seek that woman who flows with me.
I appreciate the courage it takes to contact another, and even if we're not a match, thank you for looking.
My apologies to the people who tried to contact me thru the not really free chemistry weekend.

Meet single man from Santa Barbara, United States. The best way to describe me is loyal, friendly, and have a passion for living. Santa Barbara has made me appreciate that there is more to life than just work. What can be better than having the ocean and the mountains just 10 minutes away. When I am not teaching or coaching you will usually find me on the golf course. I absolute love this activity, especially out at the beautiful Sandpiper Golf Course. My other fun activity is Salsa dancing. I really wish we had more opportunity to dance here in Santa Barbara. It was a fantastic activity that I truly enjoy.
What am I looking for. In a perfect world, would be a salsa dancing golfer that loves expresso and likes to travel. Other qualities are a
friendly, open, sense of humor, strong, athletic and a sense of adventure.

Date a soulmate from Santa Barbara, United States. My closest friends would say that I am a private person who makes friends slowly and keeps them for a lifetime. They might also say that I am the funniest person they know who has never hosted a talk show.
What makes me smile?...A smile makes me smile.
I am most proud of my education and the role I played in the education of my ex-wife. I am grateful for "Do Overs". In my opinion, people almost always deserve a second chance.
The inspirational suggestions provided by this website are good. However, if you want to know more about me, you will have to ask in conversation.
Don't you just love a little mystery ?

Meet a man from Santa Barbara, United States. I'm Norwegian and have lived in Santa Barbara for a long time. I do love it here - the gorgeous nature of mountains and ocean, the perfect weather, the rich cultural life; it is tough to beat. Coming from Norway, the bond with nature runs very deep so it would be hard for me to live any place where I couldn't have that.
But it's not complete until I find a lifelong mate to share it all with:)
Anyway, here are some tidbits about me: Most of my life has centered around music in one way or another (there's a hint). I used to play professionally earlier in my life, but these days it's mostly to stay in touch with my inner muse (and staying sane). My "day-job" is in software development and I'm quite happy doing that. I'm easy-going, optimistic, not prone to drama of any sort and always try to see things from the other perspective. A deep thinker, a party animal, loves to hang out with friends, enjoys walks on the beach and hikes in the mountains, a glass of wine. Did I mention music?
I don't really have any fixed notion of who I'm looking for. When the chemistry is there, I will know it!

Date someone special from California, United States. A good description of myself would be one that you understand by saying hello in person. So much is understood on an intuitive level between people when they are face to face I feel. I can offer you some "bumper sticker" statements that will give you an idea about how I see certain things . . . Life is full of wonder, 2012 is an exciting time to be alive, commercial television is toxic and does not resonate with me, although i enjoy a good movie or TED talk, or an informative YouTube. Spirituality is central in my life but not tied to any religion, dogma, or rigid paradigm of any kind, I don't sit around and think what god would do . . . Protesting and fighting what is wrong in the world gives what is wrong in the world more energy to grow. This was a difficult one for me to learn, but once I got it, more freedom opened up in my my life on many levels. I love feminine energy, women who have done or are doing their work, and let their heart be their pilot. I love to laugh, who doesn't ?

Meet single man from California, United States. I have a good sense of humor and enjoy laughter.
Two of the greatest gifts a person can have are good friends and good health; I have been blessed with both.
I'm a caring and generous person looking for the same in a partner.
I'm hoping to meet someone I can have fun with; whether it is dining out, traveling, or just sitting at home making each other laugh or cooking together. Or you can just talk while I cook for you.
Better still, you can make me laugh while I'm cooking for you.
.
I value straight talk and honesty; no games or drama.
If you're looking for someone to be your best friend and to treat you like a goddess, I could be just the man for you.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Ladies,
Do not let the rough exterior mislead you,
I am a kind, compassionate and loving man who values communication first and foremost. I would rather speak to you in person
than to phone, text or write, when communication does not come first well, I'm sure you know that outcome!
I still work in the field building houses by day and do nonprofit volunteer by night. There are so many people out there that need
help and this is what fuels me.
Doing more for others than I do for myself is a passion and a labor of love for me, it keeps me young. There is still so much life
out there to live and so much to learn from others, this is my spiritual grounding rod.
Do not despair, when one of you beautiful ladies connect with me there will be time to be together, I promise that.
The lady I'm looking for can, accept me for who I am and understands that I am no mind reader and want to communicate her
needs to me. That she is willing to help me understand her, men need to be helped like that, shoot we're men! lol

In closing,
I have no real huge expectations just, hope, faith and understanding that if two people are genuine from the beginning and are
willing do do the work, anything is possible.
Realistically and optimistically yours
Steven

Meet a man from California, United States. I'm looking for someone who's fun and gregarious who likes music, sports and the outdoors. I go to a lot of concerts in all music genres including some eclectic. I love to cook. My focus is on organic foods, I get the most natural foods I can find. I have 2 businesses that take up a lot of time, so my fun time is very important to me. I've been around the world, surfed Bali, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and both coasts. I'm a musician with dogs, who turned left as a entrepreneur. I'm a lot younger in person and in my heart. I've been a lead guitarist lead singer in local groups for years, I throw together a band to play occasional Gigs. With my loud Italian background playing and singing to a group comes naturally.
***My status: I have been separated for 6 years...we stayed legally married for medical benefits and financial reasons...not
because we were ever hoping or planning to get back together. For all intents and purposes, she and I both consider ourselves
"divorced." Therefore I list myself here as Divorced...happy to fill you in on all the details when we speak...we have separate
homes 350 miles apart and there is nothing "weird."

Date someone special from United States. Good hearted man looking for a good woman for love, romance, fun and companionship. I believe in living for the moment, and to it's fullest but would like to it with someone for good. If we have chemistry, interests and lifestyle in common, we ought to get together.
Here's looking at you...

Meet single man from United States. Who am I looking for? ... someone I have a great connection and chemistry with. Simple right?
First off, I am on this site because I'm serious about finding a friend/lover/partner who's willing to co-create a safe and understanding environment with me wherein anything, no matter how intense or challenging, can be navigated with grace, love, understanding and compassion with no drama (ok... maybe just a little). Honestly, I'm not to keen on the online dating thing. What's kept me somewhat intrigued by it is the fact that 2 very close friends have recently met their match on similar venues.
About me: I'm a creative man - Designer/Art Director (profession) Music (hobby). I'm equally physical/sensual as I am cerebral and spiritual. I'm fit and healthy.
I've been characterized by others as: uncomplicated, down to earth, youthful, energetic, considerate, compassionate, Mindful, open, honest, present, caring, a good communicator, a good listener, empathic, creative, sensual, sexual, optimistic, affectionate, confident, assertive, reliable, humorous, adventurous, musical, strong, sensitive, fit, spiritual but not religious, liberal, intolerant of deception, hypocrisy, duplicity and head trips.
Liabilities according to others: Idealist, gullible, perfectionist, too trusting, picky, stubborn and a hopeless romantic.
I tend to create my own scenarios and try not play by others' rules. In fact I enjoy creating original, outside the box contexts with people. The more out, the more it interests me. Tangents and things oblique are fun to me, if that makes any sense. I go for the art house movie as opposed to the blockbuster. I venture out to hear the seldom played musical genius, in place of the heavy rotation flavor of the moment. The fringe painter, writer. The restaurant with the interesting, unorthodox combinations. I have uber ordinary preferences.
Please don't write me if you are older than 55 or younger than 35 - that's just the range that I find works for me on different levels. Oh... you must be ok with a cat - I have an amazing one.
About the Woman for me: I'm interested in a partner I'll be with for the rest of the journey. I'm NOT a serial dater. I desire a deep connection. I will consider having a child with the woman who I feel that special connection with or welcome someone who has a child - absolutely! But I think someone with a big family is not for me at this point. PS: I'm 58.

Date a soulmate from United States. I'm a fairly active, busy professional with two great kids living with me pretty much full-time, whom I love, and to whom I am very devoted. My work involves techincal, artistic & people skills & keeps me challenged & interested, is often an expression of my values, and quite fulfilling, at times. Love being creative- painting, photography, music. I try to be health conscious about what I eat, and I exercise pretty hard every day. Cooking at home is important for staying healthy, but I also love to cook for fun or go to nice restaurants. Things I like: travel, photography, design, all the arts, hiking, biking, swimming, and camping. Clear, positive, honest communication, romance, affection, and intimacy. Personal growth and time to reflect. Buddhism. A woman who has a clear vision of a loving, growing relationship and full lives that can be shared both intimately, and from a distance. Looking for a stable, rational, but loving woman who wants love, caring & commitment, and a spiritual partner in her life. Monogamy is critical in this. Someone looking for a soulmate, or soul-connection, who understands loving and being loved deeply, or at least someone for whom the idea & practice of mutual interdependence and support come somewhat naturally. Seeking someone healthy in all senses of the word, with her own full life, educated, intelligent, with clear values, who enjoys life and has many interests, loves humor, the arts, the outdoors, travel. Someone who knows what a meaningful relationship needs &; welcomes the commitment.
Looking for that great state where two people share similar values and are able to discuss anything and everything with open minds & hearts. Being able to talk openly, directly, and straightforwardly, and to negotiate fairly and in good faith, are incredibly important.
Send me a wink and I'll know who you are.

Meet a man from United States. MY GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT WAS DELIVERING A CHILD INTO THIS WORLD & SEEING THE SMILE IT BROUGHT TO A MOTHERS FACE. I'M GRATEFUL THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE & TRAVEL THROUGH EUROPE, GRATEFUL THAT MY PARENTS ARE ALIVE & ENJOYING LIFE IN THEIR 80'S , GRATEFUL TO THOSE IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION FOR KEEPING ME ALIVE.
