Date men and women from United States / California / Soquel, 63 year old

Date a soulmate from Soquel, United States. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York (hey, you gotta problem wi' dat?) and have been living and working in Santa Cruz County for over 12 years (out of 20 in California.) I love this area of the world, from San Francisco to Big Sur, and I'm looking for someone with whom to share it. Henry Miller wrote that Big Sur is "...the Creator smiling at Himself in the Mirror of Eternity." Wow! My friends describe me as intelligent, creative, cultured, compassionate, funny and eccentric. Some people 'march to the beat of a different drummer' - I live and move in rhythm and/or syncopation to a symphony orchestra, a jazz quartet, a folk-rock group, a sacred music choir and a hot Latino band. (Not all playing at once, please!!) Beethoven said "Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life." Man, was he a heavy dude! I love animals and support many animal rights, rescue and adoption agencies. I love this planet and I'm a member of several environmental and conservation groups. Mother Teresa said "We can do no great things, only small things with great love." She was awesome! Humor and comedy are also extremely important in my life. Bob Hope said "Laughter is internal jogging" - I try to run a marathon every day! Well, if you've gotten this far, you're either mildly curious about me or you're a fanatic for quotations! I'll leave you with my favorite - from Curly of the Three Stooges: "Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!" Amen!

Meet a man from Soquel, United States. I want to fall in love...to me that is the ultimate pleasure in life. I am about six feet, I have a decent physique, love the beach and a quiet picnic for two. I sing to songs in my vehicle, and I love to dine out! I like to watch a romantic/adventure movie at home with a bowl of popcorn, tell a good story or some funny jokes! To me women are wonderful...I have two beautiful daughters who are very affectionate like me. I want to meet someone who is similiar to me and easy to get along with!! I love to be around family, and just want to love and be loved all the time while having lots of fun! It would be nice to have a woman who I could really talk to, who will respect and appreciate me for who I am, and like and love me for myself:)

Date a soulmate from Soquel, United States. Ready for fun . . . seeking balance in my life and that includes a partner, someone to share love, joy and good times with.
I am most interested in someone who is "self-contained," someone who is comfortable with himself, but also has friends he likes to spend time with, maybe a hobby or two; ideally he would cook and chop wood, but not necessarily simultaneously :) He will have an awesome intellect and sense of humor and would have to be somewhat unique to appreciate my point-of-view.
I would love to meet someone who is interested in ideas . . . open to life and having fun. Someone who values partnership . . .
I am on the philosophical Bohemian side. I like to discuss ideas and am interested in culture, art, architecture, history, psychology, sociology, archeology, anthropology (big on the ologies, I guess). I am constantly trying to understand "why," and getting to root causes of things, if that can be determined. I am kind of a purist in the sense that I like to uncover things and see what is at the source, as much as possible.
I am curious about people and their motives and behaviors.
I love discovering the world by exploring neighborhoods.
The person I am attracted to does not have to share all of these inclinations, of course, but has to be able to acknowledge and appreciate that these things are important to me.
Edit: I really would like a partner to explore San Francisco, Carmel, Big Sur, etc. - I also want to dine out in many Santa Cruz restaurants on a regular basis - It's no fun doing that kind of stuff alone.

Meet men and women from Soquel, United States. I consider myself a very healthy, fortunate and young thinking woman. Although I have had my share of misfortune, overall I am a very lucky human being. I have traveled many places, seen the most amazing things, have witnessed life changing human events and continue to be excited about life. The more open I remain, the more that comes my way.
I am the mother of two grown children, whom I adore. Now I am working in the non profit sector; this seems to fill any holes that
have been fired my way!!
I would like to meet someone who loves to enjoy life in all its permutations, who likes a lively debate and at the same time doesn't take himself too seriously. Someone who likes people, doesn't have prejudices and is open to suggestions. i.e. if lost, will listen!!
Want someone to share the great outdoors with me, eat lunch on a rock, out for fine dinner later.
I still have much to learn. How about you?
