Date single man from United States. I'm looking for a serene companion who might enjoy art, music, literature, mountains, lakes, rivers, oceans, the desert, the cinema, concerts and festivals or good food. I'm attracted to femininity, and the spiritual suppleness and grace that only a woman can provide.
Who am I? I'm a lot of different things to different people. Aren't we all? I'm described as understated, alert and keenly observant, quiet and unassuming. I'm capable of deep intimate connection and exploration of the Divine Presence within the beloved. For those interested in such things, I am a Taurus Sun, Libra Moon, Scorpio rising, INTP on Meyers- Briggs, 5 on the Enneagram, an Elvis love-child, and a garage sale host.
About the status: divorce papers filed, proceeding amicably and final in July.
Meet people from United States. "Unchained Melody" What a great song! And I'm younger than Match says (there's a change!), but not by much. I believe there is someone special for each of us. And there are 2 of us, You and I, who haven't met yet, but we'll know it when we do, then the fun work begins to build a great relationship. It's our time!!!!
I’ve been described as a energetic, loving, honest, successful, happy, healthy and well traveled, yet well grounded man. I'm very comfortable “in my own skin”, self assured yet modest, and know, and appreciate, that I have a good quality of life. I have a clear understanding of my strengths and weaknesses and think the former outnumber the latter by a nice margin.
I'm looking for a partner to share the future, with adventure and romance, in a mutually satisfying lifestyle. My friends tell me I'm a fun loving, kind hearted man with good communication skills (for a man, that is) and an easygoing spirit, not to mention a good sense of humor, and a playful side, which includes being able to laugh at myself.
I am in the stage of my life where I have taken an early retirement and now look forward to building a long term relationship with a like minded partner who enjoys each day. For family, I am a proud father with three great sons who are now independent, and are also my best friends, and always important. And I'm lucky enough to have friends in many parts of the world.
And yes, I understand how important your "girlfriends time" is, and how important it is to have many shared and some different interests.
Life offers such wonderful possibilities for enjoyment and I'm thankful for the laughter and smiles that each day brings. I’ve been very lucky in my life. May the good luck continue :-)
So, I am looking for a woman:
who is happy in herself and of herself, empathetic, sharing and caring;
who has been in a mostly successful long term relationship and wants to make her next relationship even better;
who has the freedom of time and financial independence to share travel together, both local and international; (there is so much of the World that I've seen and so much more to experience, together)
who is accepting of my interests and passions, as I will be in return (you see some of my favorite activities in my profile, and I'll share some and be interested in, and respect, all yours, because they're yours!)
who knows how to give and take; (I do, and I have 28 years of marriage and 3 great kids (I mean adults) as a reference)
who is strong and intelligent, worldly and with an easy going sense of humor;
who would like to invite me into her life also, to share our experiences and dreams, and travel life’s journey together, by sharing our lives to the fullest;
and importantly -- a woman who is truly available emotionally and is ready to find love again.
I am looking forward to making that mysterious connection with someone special, that in the end seems to come down to chemistry.
And, if you find me interesting, but you're not comfortable with emailing me first, just send me a Wink, and I'll look at your Profile; and if I feel the same interest, I'll send you an email, as a gentleman should, respectful of your feelings always.
Date a man from United States. I've had a fortunate life full of fun and friendships, been a lot of places, done a lot of things, and have great relationships with family and friends. My career path was rather circuitous, but somehow managed a professional career that allowed an early retirement with financial security. I give enormous gratitude for the place in which I find myself today.
Spent many years in the outdoors camping, climbing or traveling and have watched the sun set thousands of times over some of the most beautiful places in the world. Continue to be awed, inspired and deeply connected to the natural world.
Through all the adventures, travel and change, the one thing that has remained constant and provided a solid foundation are my values. Sadly, they would be called Old School now. My spiritual practices do not neatly fit into any particular belief system, they have developed over time , influenced by many religions and practices.
Probably more comfortable in my own skin than ever before. Yea! Finally!... a pleasant side effect of maturity.
l continue to enjoy a physically active and intellectually stimulating life. This may be due in some part to a rigorous regime of jumping jacks and final Jeopardy.
Recreation has always been an important part of my life. While I can no longer play 5.0 tennis or rock climb 5.10, there are still new challenges with no shortage of fun.
Retirement has given me the opportunity to participate in rewarding community service projects as well political campaigns. It has also provided the time to pursue my lifelong fascination with music, arts and language, which I do on a daily basis. Fascination doesn't necessarily equal comprehension, but I have mastered a number of musical notes and have set a goal to learn at least four more this year.
Some things I like to do: Outdoor oriented road trips, hiking, camping, ping pong, playing the ukulele; going to music concerts, occasional opera, community events, SYTYCD, going for full moon walks, birding, picnics, beach fires, napping in hammock, prefer moonlight, candlelight, firelight to neon lights. Extensive international travel experience. An adventurous swimmer, comfortable and confident in ocean surf, bays, rivers, lakes and pools.
Yes, I watch sports on TV, but not extensively and quite selectively. I've never seen an entire baseball game or the first half of an NBA game. I do watch the Niners and Giants when things get interesting.
You might find me:
Friendly, playful, cheerful, down-to-earth, athletic, inquisitive, reliable, resourceful, eclectically evolved, selective New Age sensibilities, unpretentious, affectionate aspiring to passionate. Insatiable intellectual curiosity. Off-beat sense of humor (repressed here) because what's funny to someone will be goofy or flaky to others. Funny (well, maybe), but probably not if you like Chevy Chase movies. Did I mention humble? You’d never know it from what you’ve read so far!
Domestic skills include puttering, tinkering, dabbling, cooking, gardening, small pet supervision, excellent remote control skills (seldom used). Important notice: I've recently updated my skills to include juicing.
I'm handy with tools and like to disassemble mechanical/electronic devices and can often put them back together.
Strong conviction that it is possible to negotiate the vagaries of life with humor, patience, kindness and understanding.
The past contains many wonderful memories, but I don't dwell on them. I'm looking forward to creating new ones.
We have both accumulated a lifetime of experience, knowledge and wisdom. We have learned and loved a lot along the way and are enthusiastically looking forward to the next stage of life with a partner who supports our hopes, dreams and aspirations.

Meet someone special from United States. I am looking for companionship with an equal. I would like to meet someone with similar interests in terms of
awareness, travel plans, home base, & financial stability.. I am very articulate but private. I have social & relationship skills. I am dependable & loyal, but rarely bark like a dog. Sometimes I howl at the moon.I am open minded & adventurous. I am very active & social. I greatly appreciate art , beauty,honesty & integrity. I am emotionally available & able to invest time & energy to develop a relationship.. I probably should say something that sets me apart from the pack, but I'd prefer to do that in a one-on-one situation-so I'm saving that for later. This venue is great
for someone like me who is super-shy initially with women I like. I really appreciate that so many women don't rely on a man to be so confident that they must rely on him to make the first move. I now have come to understand that, rather than "shy", I really should describe myself as "slow to start". A recent 2 1/2 hour conversation on a first date convinces me that this indeed accurate. Being monogamous is now such a part of who I am that I must admit that while being open to dating people as potential friends I am primarily looking for a monogamous relationship..It seems like the issue of compromise becomes more important as we spend more time on the planet.Nobody likes to compromise,
however, if we can learn to accommodate everyone benefits.
Since I am semi-retired I want to be with someone who is available & financially independent..I find the process of dating is becoming less about what I want & more about who I want to be with. I know I look happy in my garden but I don't grow that stuff.
Date a soulmate from United States. There is only one reason I'm putting 200 characters in this space. Her name is Skeetergirl. Match.com is a unique format for all to reach out for a frind, a partner, or a mate. I'm confident it works for many people. What happens is you end up trolling looking for that perfect match. I remember now that perfection does not exsist on this earth. So, after this I'm back to the old fashion way of meeting someone. Pure accident, or divine intervention.
I'm feeling lucky....

Date single man from Santa Rosa, United States. I'm in my prime as an artist. I'm looking for someone who inspires me. I think everyday is a gift. It's great to be alive. I am very thankful.
I'm hilarious, or so I've been told. I like balance, order, subtlety and reading between the lines. Art is a mystical calling. And I can appreciate an inspired act. I am a student of human nature and history; a pessimist who is frequently pleasantly surprised... And I have a green thumb. Let's talk about a sustainable future. I play chess, scrabble and cribbage. A bridge partner?
I don't want to define YOU. We are all unique, made of stars. Viva la difference! As Springsteen sings, "All love is true."
Meet people from Santa Rosa, United States. It is hard to express what I am looking for. I am looking for balance. Very liberal and yet conservative at the same time. Can be open minded on some issues and very precise in their thinking on others. Likes to dress up for the opera or a play but also likes to wear jeans to an outing where you can dance the country two-step. Likes some intellectual stimulation by reading and discussing great books (Anna Karenina comes to mind) yet is not above watching some mindless but fun TV dramas (Dexter). Can create a 50,000 foot vision and yet also be detail oriented at the one foot level. Loves to be with people and loves to be alone. Likes good food and wine yet is not a foodie; a hamburger and beer can be great as well. Likes to eat out and share cooking at home. Likes to be lazy and relax over coffee and go for a hike up a steep hill towards a stunning vista. Likes to travel and to stay at home. Loves their work; loves to play. Likes to partner dance yet is not obsessive about it. Smart and accomplished yet humble. Is a good conversationalist and good listener. Both analytical and expressive; driver and amiable. Likes dogs and cats. Most of all…I am looking for someone I can love and share the rest of my life with.
Date a man from Santa Rosa, United States. Pretty much a man who works hard and plays hard. I have gained financial independence after thirty years in land development and I am currently finishing writing a novel. When I'm not pounding the keys I like to play tennis and golf, do a little painting and sculpting and have a great conversation over a glass of wine with the one I love. Then we're off traveling Europe or the States or the Islands meeting new people, places and cultures. Or out for quiet dinner at a nice restaurant, watching a fun movie, talking about anything under the sun, or reading the Sunday paper in bed. Not one for watching TV but rather participating in life, making friends, going to parties, outdoors at a nice cafe, or picnic, or body surfing while you are sipping a cool one while reading a good book on the beach. I am fun and happily grounded in a great sense of humor. I am positive and spontaneous.
Meet someone special from Santa Rosa, United States. I'm easy going, love all kinds of activities...i'm currently hooked on golf, good sense of humor, and realize that my life is missing someone close.
I would love to find someone to share my life, of course, that's why most of us signed onto this service.
It would be nice if this works out, let's face it, the odds of bumping into that special someone at the cofffee shop are random at best.
So if you are curious or have any questions, give me a call.
Date a soulmate from Santa Rosa, United States. I'm looking for a female best friend to share life and love -someone who relishes the joys of life, but refuses to let its disappointments keep her down.
I am an intelligent, well-educated, sensible, and generally practical individual who doesn't make friends too quickly or easily. But when I do, I am extremely loyal to them and expect the same loyality in return. Those who know me best, realize it takes a lot to dispell my trust, but it takes me a long time to get over it if that trust if it is ever violated.
Ideally, my match would be attractive, confident in herself and the relationship, and realize that life is enjoyed so much more when shared with another. She should want a relationship that is both caring and understanding, and believe that communication and sharing are absolute musts for any relationship to grow, prosper and endure.
Meet men and women from Santa Rosa, United States. I guess the best way to describe me is to say that I love being outdoors . I like traveling and do a lot of traveling during the summer when I am off from work . I play a lot of golf when I can , usually with my son and friends . So where we go so do the golf clubs . I, also enjoy camping and traveling . My son and I did a two week camping vacation through out Idaho, Wyoming, Monatana and Nothern Cal. ( actually 19 days with 5 days of "Hotel camping" !)I love to read,or to go to a movie, or concert or just stay home and watch a video. Walks on a beach are good, too. I would like to meet a woman who enjoys her life, wants someone in it but has outside interests of her own. A golfer would be a huge plus but not necessary. I like to read a lot and attend concerts and movies . I would like to meet a woman who is comfortable with her life but would like to having a person to enjoy that life with . My new quote to my golf team is , "Hard work will beat talent when talent doesn't work hard"......Tim Tebow
