Date single man from California, United States. Life is to savor. I don't want to miss opportunites to experience LIFE - people and places. I was lucky to be able to work as a bush pilot in community development in Colombia. Now, on a different path as a clinical psychologist, clinic with interns for victims of crime, but mostly in forensics/court evaluations which are never boring. The people around me outside of work would not guess that I’m a shrink – just a regular guy – a fellow traveler …
Love music. Have played bass for years since I bought my first at 18 at a hock shop in Chicago. Southern rock, jazz, blues, and especially worship is great fun. Love being active. A friend just built me a serious road bike … hiking, snow and water skiing, scuba diving. I still fly occasionally, and love aerobatics when I get the itch.
To be honest, I love the Lord, and care greatly about His Kingdom. That translates to helping out in third world countries…helping build an orphanage in Uganda, helping networking to translate into Arabic what is called Transformations, that changes places around the world as people and The Church seriously look for God to show up and change things (cf. Colombia from the mid 90’s to present renaissance, Chiapas Mexico, Uganda etc.) To me, its like Pascal said with his wager. So you get to live life in a very satisfying rewarding way, but with an eye on the world to come. I’m not a fanatic. Don’t talk about it much, but when thinking about finding a soul mate, there has to be an openness.
I’m looking for a like minded woman, who is strong but kind, open to new ideas and adventures, kids, experiences, people, travel. To enjoy each others presence more than all the rest. To enhance each other, helping the other reach individual and joint goals, becoming more a part of each other as time goes by…
Meet men and women from California, United States. How nice of you to stop by. Please make yourself comfortable on the porch.
Main photo was taken in Feb, 2012, I was raised in the midwest and then hitchiked to Southern California in the summer of 1969 on a lark. I've been here ever since. I tend to be a morning person and too often a night owl as well. I have been working too hard and need to more playtime...can you help? Time is passing way too fast and has me considering the virtues of simplifying my life. A homeowner since 1981 and a business owner since 1984. I have a small collection of classic cars in a warehouse that I enjoy. I know how to pick up after myself and I am handy around the house. I can help with the cooking and would like to take a cooking class. I love to dance.
About the one I'm looking for...
You appreciate the healing power of a sincere hug. You like your feminine side at it shows. You are approachable, easy to know and to be around. You're a bit sophisticated. You prefer vintage to contemporary. You have dresses and jeans and look good in both.
Date single man from South Pasadena, United States. I live in South Pasadena and I retiired about 4 yrs ago. My looks are about average (have that Jason Alexander/ Danny DeVito thing going on) and I need to lose weight. Women who NEED a tall very good looking prince charming and require a full head of hair, won't be interested in me. But, if you are looking to meet a guy who communicates well, has a great sense of humor (I laugh at all my jokes), is smart enough to tie his own shoes (mastered that by the time I was 18), has a vocabulary with more than one two-syllable words (of course that does include some very creative curse words),is very close to his kids (both of my daughters think I am a great guy - you can ask them),is very close to his five grandkids (they are actually helping me relearn the important stuff),has finally figured out that the world doesn’t revolve around him (probably my most difficult lesson),loves to be romantic, and who is just an all around good guy -TALK TO ME! I have a solid formal education (MPA) and I tend to be analytical but I am also down to earth and I love to laugh. I have become self sufficient but it is time to settle down and I sorely miss the color and texture that is added by that very special woman. I m of the 60 s and still have a romanticized sense of what that era means. I read a lot and I play golf badly. I m left of center on most political issues but I m open to other points of view. I feel very strongly about family values (my daughters and grand kids are at the center of my world). I still love to go to a good old rock and roll concert, dance in the aisles, sing along, and behave as if I were 20. My musical tastes run from Dylan to the Dixie Chicks to Lyle Lovett to Joan Armatrading to Tom Petty to u2.Like most, I am searching for that special companion who has the potential for a close friendship that could lead to something more. "Something more" would include all of those gifts that bind two people together, such as: a commitment to one another and the ability to stimulate each other intellectually. spiritually and of course physically. We'd be mutually nurturing and supportive. Together we'd laugh at life's absurdties, be awed by life's wonders and challenged by life's trials.
I respond to women who are: honest, kind, sensual, thoughtful, independent, witty, creative, who are passionate about whatever. I am looking for a woman who understands that although a meaningful relationship is initially based on mutual chemistry (physical and/or intellectual) but also takes time to develop. My match would be able to communicate with honesty and would expect the same of me. She is down to earth - not too self absorbed and is tolerant and respectful of others. If she defines herself primarily as "sophisticated" or "glamorous" we would probably would not be a good match. She would have strong family values that are based on her innate sense that family and close friends are to be held close for the betterment of us all and NOT based on intolerant religious and/or political dogma. And of course she'd have to have a wicked sense of humor that just won't let herself (or me) be taken too seriously.
I am drawn to women who are bright in that common sense and experienced way. Those who have learned from living and overcoming those pesky and difficult life stituations that comfront all of us from time to time. Those who might be skeptical but not too cynical. And of course a healthy sense of curiosity about those things that are beyond our immediate grasp is always appealing.

Meet single man from South Pasadena, United States. I come with no baggage since I am pretty independent and lead a comfortable and full life. I was fortunate in my business life and chose to quit working at 48 years of age but I stay busy managing and maintaining various rental properties that I own.
I am a very active person and live a relatively healthy life style. I am in very good physical condition since exercise has been an integral part of my life. I have run 14 marathons and one ultra (50 kms.), but due to a knee injury, I bike almost every day. I lived in Oregon for 17 years and I was a volunteer river guide (white water rafting) with the Univ. of Oregon. I served in the Army for 3 years and took up skydiving as a hobby. My dress style is casual, but I have suits and a tux for special events. Basically, I am a champagne budget person with a beer taste.

Date people from South Pasadena, United States. I am an intelligent but not traditional man. I've had a life long interest in learning new things and exploring new ideas. I enjoy conversations which takes both of us out of our comfort zone. I will need space but it shouldn't be interpreted as getting away from my partner. I have very strong beliefs that are not religious but are the things I use to keep my focus and to remind me not to take myself too seriously. I am a high energy guy and do things that you might not expect from me. I rollerblade, jog, walk, make repairs to my house and anything else that will keep me active. I like day trips to Palm Springs, Idyllwild, Santa Barbara, Ojai and love to do things spontaneously. I read a lot and like to talk about what I read. I'd like to read the same book at the same time with a woman and compare our interpretations of the book to see if gender plays a role in extracting meaning from things.I'm looking for an intelligent woman that will treat me as an equal. She should be physically fit and we should be able to keep pace with each other. I want her to be independent and not rely solely on others for her happiness. She should have a full life already and want to bring me into it. She should feel curiosity about what goes on around her and want to try new things. She should not be afraid of change but embrace it. I'd like her to trust me enough to be completely open on the first date and feel comfortable in asking me anything she wants to know.
Meet men and women from South Pasadena, United States. I'm not used to talking about myself, and I have no idea what my ideal match would be - maybe feminine and smart would come close. I like women who have manners and education and perhaps an open mind, if it's not too radical.
