Date men and women from United States / California / Simi Valley, 57 year old

Date people from Simi Valley, United States. Hunger of Memory
He sat there in the splendor of his 87 years at the end of his son-in-laws short driveway. They weren't called director's chairs back then, Aluminum and a tough nylon fabric almost always with a plaid design, up against the sidewalk. In summer he wore a stylish straw hat and an old Fedora, somewhat the worse for ware, the rest of the year. The pink flesh hung off his clean-shaven face like the wattle on a turkey. He wore his hat so consistently that I can not now remember how much hair he did or didn't have. His bright blue eyes clouded by cataracts, I in my childish innocents asked, "Do they bother you Mr. Withers." Dad Withers, would take the ever present cigar out of his mouth, spit and say "As long as I can see to light the end of my cigar Billy." He would laugh a hearty laugh until it made him cough. I liked his answer so much I asked the question more than once. All summer brother Mike and his gang of sidewalk tricycle thugs would manage the confluence of old man and ice cream truck, it was a ritual. Dad Withers would walk up and down the sidewalk leaning heavily on his cane and I would follow in wrapped attention to the stories of his life; "I was one of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders.’ too drunk' I missed the boat to Cuba." How his friend Tony from Italy got himself bit by a rattlesnake while prospecting despite Dad Withers warnings the snake would rattle “You know Tony, like a bell“. All Tony could say was "He no ring a bell, he no ring a bell!". Dad Withers would laugh until he had to take the waded up Kleenex out of his pocket and wipe the tears. I would sit for hours on the lawn next to his chair while he told of seeing Halley's Comet and his long struggle with drink. "One New Years day I woke up and I looked at that whisky bottle and said 'You and me is going to become enemies.' and I haven't took a drink since." Once he expressed concern to his daughter that on a visit to his room I might have seen the wet spot on his bed, and thought the less of him. I loved the old man as close to a grandfather as I have had. At twilight I like to sit under the Oak tree on the side of the hill over looking the Simi Valley with a patio chair that swivels on a cushion of a tough Nylon plaid, every time I light my cigar I remember. -30-

Date single man from Simi Valley, United States. Hi,
I love to spend my days playing golf, tennis, bowling, hiking, walking on the beach, or driving up the coast.
In the evening, it’s hard to beat listening to music (preferably live, or on a good stereo), with a glass of wine in hand. If I am doing this at home with someone I love being with, then having a few candles lit and dancing around the room together is even better. I also enjoy watching movies and looking through my telescope.
Oh yes, the occasional trip to somewhere exciting or restfull is sometimes needed.
I'm a little shy at first, but quick witted, and can't help but deliver the occasional pun. I consider myself to be easy going, fun loving, and easy to talk to.
I'm looking for a lady who would enjoy spending time together with me enjoying these interests. If we end up walking into the sunset together, it would be my ultimate goal realized. If you think there could be a connection, let's go out for a drink, or to the driving range and see what happens.
Cheers,
Mark

Meet a man from Simi Valley, United States. How do I describe myself without sounding like I am selling a used car...lol. Well, all modesty aside, I am a true gentlemen, funny, intelligent, nurturing, sensitive, sensual, silly, passionate, yet a little bit of a devil as well. :-) I'm from South Africa, and have an accent, so I am told. But actually I think it's you all that have the accent...lol.
I'm looking for someone special that has a few, if not all of the following traits. You should be in good shape, vibrant, happy, silly, sexy, sophisticated, and confident with your sexuality! You are looking for a man to share and create new and exciting experiences.
I want to have that special happy feeling inside...you know, the one that you have when you can't wait to be with your mate.
This is my first attempt at the personals. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical for a long time. But after two of my good friends met two incredible women, I'm beginning to think that my girl is also just a click away!
Are you ready to laugh with a new friend? I am!

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Fun, adventurous, down to earth lady, easy going , with a big heart, loves to laugh and has a quick wit. I've been blessed with good health and 2 great daughters (whom are both off at college, but do visit often). I love Scottish Country Dancing, and now have a teaching credential in this. Love to see a man in a kilt! Well, at least most men. I enjoy other forms of dancing as well.
I have a passion for training search dogs, been doing this since 1985. I am now working on my 6th and 7th ones, named Ghillie and Stitch. Volunteer one week every summer (for 12 years now) as part of the medical staff for children with diabetes can be a lot of work but ALWAYS very rewarding and fun.
I enjoy going to the movies (really like some independent movies), museums, the theater (big productions as well as small town theater) concerts in the park, amusement parks, and downtown Ventura, hanging out with my friends, hiking, quilting, gardening, traveling and just taking it easy. Spain this year, in September, with 6 friends on a 150 mile Pilgrimage walk.
WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR IN A MAN
I am seeking a relationship, with understanding, tenderness, kindness and companionship. Character is a key point in a man I am looking for. Honesty, love a man who can speak his mind and is full of integrity. A great guy, who is willing to share himself, grow with, and find peace in each other's arms. A man who is secure with himself. He should be comfortable being by himself and with me, and he doesn't need a woman to complete him but enhance him. He wants a loving, stable and solid relationship, easygoing, has a big heart, and compassionate about a few things in his life.
I want an authentic man who tells the truth and I appreciate the unusual man who by nature would more readily admit his fears than try to cover them up. A man who communicates, listens closely to me and who is naturally and habitually kind.
I'm a great gal with many gifts to give. I know that there is a high quality man out there, is that you? Who will feel grateful and excited to share my gifts as I will generously share and celebrate yours if you are the right man.
I believe that there MUST be a connection between two people for a great friendship and relationship to blossom into a possible future together. Take a chance on me, let's meet and see if we connect. Let's make each other laugh. Please like animals and not only because you think they taste good!
