Date men and women from United States / California / Studio City, 66 year old

Date single man from California, United States. I'm outdoorsy, usually energetic, occasionally innovative, often studious, sensitive, a leader of sorts, inquisitive, confident in many realms, less so in many others, bold yet respectful, polite, tolerant, convinced when I believe I'm right but genuinely open to learning when I'm wrong. I'm accepting of life as it is and enthralled with its potential. The glass is usually half-full, and I don't see the world or most of its events with jaded bifocals. I wear blended lenses.
Like most of us on the planet, I love the Ups and try to make peace with the downs. When I'm not up, I'm generally contemplative, rarely bitter, angry or depressed (except when I find beets on my salad). I strive for balance. I write, I read, I think, and, sometimes, create. I have always tried to follow my bliss, though I've been sidetracked or forced (or forced myself) to be put "on hold" more than once -- part of the price of admission to being human, I guess.
I was born east of the Mississippi, raised in the west, boarding school in the east (no, I wasn't THAT incorrigible) college, grad school, and law school in California. In college, I boxed and wrestled and lived and did some other things that read well only on my first resume. To stay in shape, I rrrrun miles up a mountain (small one) a few days a week (weather permitting) and row (machine, weather be damned). In my sordid youth, I played the banjo, bagpipes and violin (not all at once, but it may have sounded that way).
I'm eternally optimistic, perpetually curious (a bit like the proverbial "bear who went over the mountain just to see what he could see"), have yet to discover the secret of the universe (or speak to the "Oracle at Delphi"), took enough French in school to be proficient in French bread, and make peace with any fashionable French gang, not so with b?arnaise sauce.
I was married once for just under 23 years (I left). I have two grown sons, 36 and 33. The oldest is a dentist on the east coast. The youngest is following in my footsteps (without socks) here in L.A.
I wallow in being a boy, likewise being a man, and all the elements, good, bad, and otherwise that brought me to this point. I enjoy the thrill of everyday, and the ardor and risks I put into the things I do. I expect life to be a roller coaster and believe you can't really appreciate the highs unless you've experienced the lows. It's not the end of the race I'm looking forward to, it's the run.
I'm too old (well, not that old) to treasure anything other than my humanity and that of others, and am not afraid to show it (or trip over it), and I need to be with someone who treasures hers and is equally unabashed about showing it. I am not attracted to passive (except on foggy mornings in the fall and winter), not attracted to someone more concerned with how things look than how things are.
I want a partner -- a co-conspirator. I seek someone I respect, who is interested and interesting, sensuous, spiritual (not in the organized religion sense), compassionate, humorous, creative, full of zest (not the soap), passionate about who they are, what they're about, what they do, edgy (soft one), with an edge and an attitude (perspective), sometimes wacky, with a streak of lunacy, sentimental, a risk taker (within reason), with a fire -- a glow -- in her belly; Someone who can run and kick back and relax as well. And, ESPECIALLY, someone who thrives and wallows in intimacy -- intellectually, emotionally, and physically -- and that someone needs to be searching for the SAME qualities in whomever they seek.
In a committed relationship, I'm devoted, compassionate, sincere, reverent of my partner and our bond, respectful, non-judgmental (except when ordering in a restaurant or selecting a tie), loyal, spontaneous, playful, passionate, sensitive and giving. Intimacy is like oxygen to me.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I have been off this site since September 2011. But, I'm back and happy to be here.
Chronological age is just a number. How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were? I am actually three years younger than Jane Fonda.
I've had a remarkable life. Because of that, I believe it can happen again. Sharing and experiencing the wonder of each day or being quiet and thoughtful with the understanding a man and a woman need space at times to make a perfect
1 plus 1 = 2 ... happy math.
My preference is an honest and intelligent man who laughs easily, is comfortable with himself and sees the infinite possibilities for a good life with the right woman. Quality of character, enterprise, imagination, the ability to handle life with finesse and self confidence is a magnet. He knows who he is and is not intimidated by a very smart woman. Good looks are a bonus.
Hoping to meet a gentleman to share the experience of a life well lived. That does not happen easily so a great friend is a good beginning. Friends are treasures to be cherished. I appreciate a good sense of humor and you will find me a terrific audience.
My thoughts on opening communication ... It says a great deal about a man who takes the time to write a few words in an email. So please send a message, even if it is only one sentence. Be adventurous and step out of your comfort zone.
I will not respond to winks or profiles without photos.

Date people from California, United States. I'd like to find someone who still thinks like he did twenty or thirty years ago. Any gained wisdom of course, please hold onto. There are too many wonderful things left to do before we finally wind down~ I have many interests, usually am busy and engaged, enjoy my life, my friends and my dogs, sometimes try to do too much, sometimes miss romance in my life, always want to be "doing" something of relevance. I enjoy writing workshops, really would love to publish, am recording some songs I wrote years ago just because I want to. I have to REALLY be nuts about someone to want to live with them, or even spend time with them. I'd like someone who wants to go to Paris, to Ireland. i'd like someone independent, in his schedule and interests, but a one woman guy,
