Date a man from California, United States. I grew up on the Iron Range, a small group of iron mining towns in Northern Minnesota, left to attend collage on a hockey scholarship, returned, got married and started several businesses. All went great for a while, there was a huge demand for steel, it was overtime ok at the mines. Early 80s the bottom of the steel market dropped out and all went to Hades. Every third home was vacant, you could have bought the whole town of Babbitt (home of Olympic Hockey great Buzz Schneider and not much else), formerly a town of 2200 for less than 200k, including bank, shopping center, 3 churches and a golf course. 1986 business was horrible, all my friends had left, I was a single parent of 2 and could see no future on the Range so we left for CA. Arrived with my kids, 9 and 11 and not much else. Joined a hockey team, made many friends, started a construction business specializing in the textile maianance industry. Buiness boomed, met someone, got married, raised the kids and was very happy. A year ago, my wife retired, I gave the business to my son and we were going to enjoy our Golden Years doing all the things we had talked about, camping in the RV, cruising in our boat and lots of travel. Cancer ruined all that.
I am looking for a long term relationship, have no interest in causual sex, do not need someone to take care of me, I can cook, clean, do the laundry and change the bed. I miss being with someone, talking, laughing, cuddeling and all that goes with a committed relatiuonship. I miss going out lunch on Saturday afternoon. Know it won't be easy, but am not in a rush.
I am not lonely, still play hockey and have many friends, can do things with them whenever I want, but it is not the same.
The hockey picture is from a Senior Tournament I played in last month in Vernon BC, the wedding my nephew's.
I am bright, well mannered, wity, charming, very strong, a lot of fun to be with and more loyal than any dog you have ever owned.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Version 2:
It would appear that most people are looking for their soul mate, a husband, a wife or a partner for life. It seems to me that maybe the best approach is to look for a friendship as that is probably the best basis for a successful relationship of any type. It also takes a little pressure off of the ultimate first encounter. So I am looking for a female friend to go sailing, enjoy nice restaurants, kayaking, traveling and best of all being introduced by someone to new things that they enjoy but I have not spent a lot of time doing. You don't even have to love sailing as we can join the boat wherever we have it delivered. All of these things are fine and the relationship might not develop beiyond sharing these times and being friends. Then again if the stars align there can be much more.
The thing that I am most proud of is having fathered a beautiful family and raising children that are now better parents than I ever was. Second would be the friendships that I have, some of which are over 50 years old! Lastly, I have enjoyed the business world and I am still active investing in start up companies and sitting on boards. One of the boards that gives me the greatest joy is a non profit in San Francisco that allows me to give back some of the rewards I have received over the years.
I love my time in Hawaii as the ocean is a spiritual place for me. I think I was a dolphin in a different life. I also have a small vineyard in the California wine country where I can find beauty and peace as well as some great food, wine and some golf. When I am not at either of those two places I am somewhere in Marin, close to San Francisco.
Date a man from Sausalito, United States. I am a lawyer who has always been dedicated to the public interest (for example, civil rights cases). I divorced nine years ago, work less, and want to explore life more, including the idea of a "retirement" that allows for creativity and happiness in ways that I don't even know. I am 5'11", reportedly good-looking, intellectual, financially independent, a card-carrying member of the ACLU, politically liberal, and interested in experiencing other cultures and traveling. Most of all, I believe in humanistic values, and I am sensitive to the needs and interests of the people who are close to me.
It is difficult to summarize the "ideal relationship," but I believe it involves being open, honest, and truly loving with each other, living according to the Golden Rule, and a commitment to working through the occasional "rough patches" with mutual respect and generosity of spirit. I am looking for a life-long companion and soul-mate who knows how to give, enjoys receiving, and is comfortable with both. My ideal life partner would have soulful eyes, a captivating smile, intellectual curiosity, and a good sense of humor and playfulness. I would like someone who has broad intellectual interests, is politically liberal, and has a goal of contributing to making the world a better place. I would like a partner to travel with, to talk about books and politics with, to go to the symphony and beaches with, to hike with, to explore new frontiers, and to make love with for the rest of our days. I'm interested in someone who also has some financial independence, and who may wish to live abroad part of each year.
