Date a woman from California, United States. Although I will soon be 70, my family and my friends describe me as very young and "hip" which is also the way I see myself. I have a wonderful sense of humor and a giant storehouse of empathy. I'm close to my family, my children, my brothers and sisters, and my nieces and nephews and have friends who have been in my life for over 30 years. I am a passionate animal lover and currently live with two dogs and two cats. I love to swim, read (mostly mysteries), work in my garden and on my house. I also love movies, the theater, music of all types, and traveling, both in the US and out of the country. I am a big sports fan, especially football, both college and pro.
My current home is high in the hills above San Fernando Valley and I have a magnificent view. I've lived in Washington DC and Boston although I've spent most of my life in Southern California. I traveled extensively and have visited every state except for Alaska, Idaho, Montana and North Dakota. My out of country travels have taken me to Canada, Mexico, Europe, and the Caribbean, I would love to go back to Europe and also visit the states I've missed. But, I'm game for any type of traveling with the right companion.
Any man with whom I form any type of relationship must be intelligent, very flexible in his beliefs and always open to new ideas and new experiences. And, very important, he must have a great sense of humor, love and respect animals and nature.
I'm a very strong woman who has faced and overcome many adversities in my life. I've experienced both good and bad male/female relationships and I'm sure I can recognize pretty quickly which way any new relationship would go.
