Date women from United States / California / Van Nuys, 63 year old

Date a woman from United States. I believe that living life in every present moment is one of the our greatest pleasures. That includes quiet times, stopping to 'smell of roses', as those are precious, indeed. As most humans, I am a mix of traits. Not really complicated, but certainly interesting.
I enjoy learning, am curious to a great extent. I strive to live everyday to its utmost, and to keep my world honorable, sane and loving, It has been said that I have a backbone made out of steel and a heart made of mush. Friends describe me as gregarious with a sometimes caustic sense of humor. I love to laugh. Although this may be true, it takes a lot for me to really open up to others. Although cautious, I am extremely loyal when I feel safe with true friends. I am straightforward, yet easily giggle when given a choice. Honesty and communication are primary.
I am seeking a real man, one who enjoys being himself, to share life's pleasures, and challenges and to have our individuality, too. Not tied at the hip, except perhaps at night ;-), as passionate sensuality is naturally, a must. He must be secure, both emotionally and financially. He is someone to count on, to share with, to believe in. He will be comfortable with himself, with the confidence to allow me to be myself, too. Ideally I want to be half of a team, able to hold up my side, but count on my mate to help me hold my balance. He must have a good sense of humor, as joy is precious. Arrogance doesn't work for me. Gentleness does, along with those manly traits I can lean on. He can, in turn, count on me to be here for him in every way. No competing with each other, as I've learned that we all have good to bring to a relationship, and if done right, can be the icing on the cake of life. Sharing goals, encouraging each other as individuals, passionate intimacy and having a best friend to count on would be ideal.
Please no scams, as I have a great life to live and don't want to waste my time on game players.
