Date people from United States. Divorced after an 18-year marriage. Enjoy outdoors, flying, riding, scuba, fly fishing, camping, sailing, etc. As a scientist, I'm naturally curious. My previous 2 wives have eliminated most bad habits (Ok, I said MOST). Broken in, but not broken. Travel well. Have learned that I enjoy pleasing my partner most of all. I'm looking not for the next, but my last, great love.
My marriages produced 2 children each (and 4 grandchildren) who I cherish beyond anything else.
I consider myself not complicated, but hopefully interestng. Most people consider me an extrovert, but I have my quiet moments, too.
Ok, what have I done that defines who I am? Well, I have flown an unarmed jet into combat, refueling other aircraft in flight. Earned both Masters and Ph.D. Kayaked the Snake River and canoed the rapids of the lower Grand Canyon. Climbed South Teton. Skiied more black diamond runs than I can remember. (I now prefer telemarking.) Walked across the Grand Canyon in a day. Managed airborne science expeditions over both poles, Latin America, and into hurricanes.
I enjoy many things. A good book. Playing guitar (and singing, which I do badly, but do anyway). Fly fishing (which is really hunting fish). Hunting ducks with my son for Thanksgiving dinner (the most expensive dinner imaginable).
I'm looking for an active woman who lives life fully. I'm looking for the whole package: someone who connects with me physically, emotionally, and intellectually.. Sense of humor a must. Physically, I believe in the whole woman concept. Beauty and personality are linked. There are just too many variables to write down. We need to meet and find out our unique bond. Ultimately, I would like to find my life partner. She is fit, and has a wonderful smile, which she uses a lot. She likes to touch and be touched, even if it's just holding hands while we walk. She is curious and likes to explore. She is not afraid of loving and being loved. She likes animals and kids, and prefers to say something nice rather than criticizing. She has hiking boots and high heels and is comfortable dancing in an evening gown as well as paddling a canoe in a swim suit. She is beautiful inside and out. We give each other energy. We enjoy watching the sunrise. We can't keep our hands off each other. We share a love of life., and look at each new day as a beginning of something wonderful.
Meet men and women from United States. This is the easy part, actually. Far from complex yet highly engaging, entertaining and fun-loving, I am a man who is generous in spirit, tolerant of others, openly affectionate, well-educated, and rather adventurous.
I enjoy a life full of abundance on many levels, and I desire to share in that joy with one dynamic leading lady by my side.
I have a variety of interests from which I am certain we can find some common ground, but I also look forward to the differences my partner will bring to the table that will serve to keep things interesting.
From music to theatre to the opera and symphonies, I appreciate sophisticated endeavors, but I am also quite fond of long walks, the beauty of a sunset, and the warmth of a roaring fire and the relaxation of a massage.
As one who enjoys expanding his horizons, I strive for personal growth in all areas, and among the many interests I intend to pursue include mastering foreign languages and also learning how to do stained glass works and ceramics. I like to indulge my creative side.
As a partner, my areas of expertise include honesty, faithfulness and respect. A one-woman man, I do not entertain games, drama, or cheating. Of course, a day is never complete without plenty of laughter, smiles and good times! I will spoil you with that!
What I admire in a woman is one who lives on purpose and with purpose, fully aware of her path in life. She is confident and self-assured, yet refuses to dance with ego and arrogance. She is clothed in the grace of humility.
She will speak her mind and enjoy the results, yet still maintain tolerance towards the opinions, feelings, and ideas of others.
I respect a woman who lives with a heart of compassion. She is one for whom kindness is an instinct. Her sincere respect for those around her can be heard in her voice and seen in her actions.
Level-headed, responsible and reliable, she is a steadfast woman but is never afraid to indulge her inner child on occasion.
As we dance into the afternoon of our lives, let’s embrace the warmth of the sun and the many adventures that await us still.
Let’s leave footprints in the sand together….
Date a soulmate from United States. What I would like to find first in a partner is so simple yet so complicated that is difficult to find. Call me old fashioned, but I believe that a relationship cannot grow without a good foundation built on trust, honesty and respect for each other. I believe in opening doors, helping with ones coat and pulling out ones chair. It’s just good manners!
Some say I was born way too late, but I don’t think so. I like the old with the new and would like to find a woman that will be fine with this.
I live in the Tehachapi Mountains where the sidewalk ended back a ways. I have horses, a mule and two dogs. I show cutting horses and in 2011 I hauled to see how high I could get in the Pacific Coast Cutting Horse Association standings and the National Cutting Horse Association standings. I had a very good year.
If you think the perfect date is a sack lunch in the saddle bags and a beautiful trail followed by dinner or holding hands in a movie then I would like to hear from you.
Meet a man from United States. At times I am slow to get to know, but once you are my friend you are a part of me. I try and stay fit by playing golf, tennis and racquetball. I enjoy going out to a movie and dinner but sometimes I can't wait to get home. I enjoy most types of music except for rap and heavy metal. The simple things people do for each other makes living in this world a joy.What is an ideal match? We can dream about one type of person all we want, but what might you be missing if you have tunnel vision! Someone who is spontaneously organized and jokingly serious might be the one for me. I just like to try and meet people and have fun with them whatever we do.
Date a soulmate from United States. I am an independent woman with some time on my hands. I have lived along the California coast for most of my life and now am in the mountains. I enjoy growing trees, vegies, flowers, herbs, observing and identifying birds, photography, and the quiet life. I am a pretty good dancer and love good music (best live).
Life would be more with someone to share with.
