Date single man from Torrance, United States. Hello,
First of all - a request: if my profile piques your interest, I'd appreciate receiving an email rather than a wink.
About me: I'm seeking a long-term relationship - a life full of friendship, love, laughter, trust, new discoveries and continued growth.
I don't believe in pedestals or perfection, just honesty, intimacy, laughter and love. I'm not interested in changing or taking over your life. But if you believe that two kindred spirits can cuddle their time together to maximize the joy and fulfillment that life can offer, then you'll have my undivided attention.
I'm healthy and in good shape (5'7"/150 lbs), love golf (and other walks not-so-spoiled), tennis, taking photographs, art museums, architecture, decorating, good movies, good books, chess and Scrabble, sports (participating and viewing), quiet conversations, stimulating conversations, an organized and peaceful living environment, flea markets, hiking, traveling to see new places that challenge and enhance one’s perspectives on life, and quality time with friends and family. With social work and real estate careers behind me, I strive to add wisdom with each passing year as I learn more about what makes me tick (and no, I'm not a crocodile!).
My taste in music is varied - classical to Leonard Cohen, but not rap. I love low budget and/or foreign films that make you think, touch your heart and/or take you places you've never been. Favorite travel destinations include many countries in Europe, Victoria (BC), Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, Santa Barbara, Carmel, Sedona, Denver and the high country. I’m sure there could be many more. What are your favorites?
Favorite authors include Dan Brown (I wish he'd write more), Ken Follett (The Pillars of the Earth, World Without End, and Fall of Giants were particularly engrossing), David Baldacci, Daniel Silva, Lee Child, James Patterson, Nelson DeMille, Harlen Cob
en, Michael Connelly, Malcolm Gladwell, John Grisham, Jonathon Kellerman, as well as non-fiction books, news and articles of personal interest. I recently finished Walter Isaacson’s biography about Steve Jobs - engrossing, to say the least.
Returning to us for a moment, I’m looking for a committed relationship with someone who's slender, healthy, fit and happy. If you believe that a healthy relationship takes ongoing communication and occasional compromise in order to survive, but shouldn't be hard work, then (as Leonard Cohen would say) "I'm your man." Each of us should simply feel lucky and blessed to be given the opportunity to explore, grow, smile, love and be loved, and share life's offerings with good grace and appreciation. That said, we would not be well matched if you smoke, are heavily religious and/or politically conservative, or are prone to heavy drinking.
A word about honesty: it leads to trust, and trust mines a most precious commodity - joy. So, if you happen to fancy the thought of discovering an honest, straightforward, kindred spirit smiling back at you, then I'll look forward to learning more about you. Perhaps in time we'll decide to share a life joyfully bedrocked in honesty, enjoying the simple things as well as new adventures together. Yes, maybe a bit overly romantic, but then, if you're the one I seek, when I think of "home" - I want to think of you.
Meet men and women from Torrance, United States. I'm looking for someone with whom to share my life. Someone who loves life, is adventureous, not in a rush to get home when traveling, loves old churches and museums (to a point). Someone, who like me, is respectful of family and others - my parents European background and sense of values has instilled within me honor and respect - even to the point of opening doors. I have many friends with whom I walk 3X a week, sometimes even meeting them to go bike riding. Similar interests on your part would make for a good relationship although I can debate "birds of a feather" or "opposites attract".
