Date men and women from United States / California / Santa Cruz, 75 year old

Date a man from Santa Cruz, United States. People consider me a positive person and I enjoy helping people to put a positve spin on their lives.
I do have opportunities to speak before groups of people and get positive feedback; very satisfying.
People think that I look younger than I am, and I enjoy being around people of all ages. I am
generally included in my adult children's festivities. They are all married and have have wonderful families
and friends. Definitely fun groups. I am looking for someone, who is active and likes to venture out and
share various outings. Dinner inCarmel, walks on the beach, a bicycle ride along the coast. Preparing dinner
together, enjoying good wine and conversation. Love to travel, but it would be nice to have compatible company.
Life is good, and I would like to share it

Meet men and women from Santa Cruz, United States. My hair is turning silver from brown, well, it's mostly silver now. I also have some of the wrinkles that come with time, 71 years. My eyes are a beautiful blue, I'm told. My friends come in all makes, models, and size. Some tall, some short, some very well off and others must be frugal. I do not measure my friends by how much money they have or what they own. I don't measure them by how tall they are or the color of their eyes. I use my 71 years and my heart to see if I want to call a person my friend. I don't care how tall or short you are. I don't care how much money you earn. Those things are not important to friends. I have learned something from almost every person I have met. I am interested in people, what they think and why. I am told that I'm a good listener. I have been told that I don't listen. I'm told that I have a lot of patience. I have been told that I'm impatient. I am very seriously silly at times. I am sorry but I'm not interested in world travel like many. Shorter trips are just fine. I like to watch it rain while I hope for thunder, coffee with Irish cream, a distant train whistle, photography, amateur radio, I have done ceramics, I've done some water color, stained glass and I am now considering oil painting. I enjoy pictionary and chess. I enjoy my computer that ties in well with many of my interests. I feed the birds, jays, and there was one that would eat from my hand. I enjoy a barbecue with my friends on my deck or their patio. I enjoy watching my grandson grow. I like to be close, touch, and be touched. I like the smell of a woman. I have looked at many profiles and I'm not a perfect match for any. But if you think that I am close enough for you then give me a wink or a short e-mail. Then we will see where it goes. Right now it's up to you. I live in Santa Cruz under the Redwood Trees.My ideal match would be a lady with friends but she would not be dependent on them for anything, except friendship. She should be thoughtful, forgiving, understanding, and flexible because of my shortcomings. Above all she should not be perfect. I would like for her to have a nice warm smile and like ice cream, sometimes.
