Date men from United States / California / Susanville, 72 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Not enough space for a comprehensive answer. There needs to be some sort of immediate chemistry and communication. My image of myself is irrelevant, as it is the perceiver who must decide. I'm self confident but not arrogant...I have no problem saying I'm sorry, and I laugh at myself a lot; I'm self sufficient but seek female company...especially to share the out of doors and physical activity.
We need to be vulnerable in order to achieve intimacy. Signs of affection and the ability to demonstrate ones feelings are essential. ("They do not love, that do not show their love") I love humor and eschew unnecessary drama. I do smile a great deal; am sometimes cynical about the direction society is taking...that's not a contradiction, just two separate aspects of me.
I will always be an incurable romantic who can cry at a touching commercial or movie; and someone who optimistically looks for the good in people...until and if I'm proven wrong.
I'm very young for my age, and consider myself physically active and fit. Health in all things is important: mental, physical, emotional, spiritual. Humor is on of the necessary 'tonics' for life.
