Date women from United States / Arizona / Sedona, 55 year old

Date a soulmate from Arizona, United States. I enjoy a life filled with good fortune, good health, and great friends. I'm kind of a free-spirit type now living full time in beautiful Sedona. Happy, optimistic, energetic, intelligent, adventurous, independent, and creative are words that I believe fairly describe me. I enjoy cooking beautiful, healthy meals and sharing them with friends. I enjoy wine and fine dining, almost as much as I enjoy grilling at home and listening to Pandora radio.
I'm retired and love it, although I am exploring some volunteer work opportunities. This great period of my life is filled with hikes, cooking, reading, yoga and exercise, and various creative pursuits. I would really enjoy finding a like-minded man to share my life. I have been fortunate in my two primary relationships (one for 22 years, one for 10 years), and those relationships ended amicably. As I have grown up (yikes!), I find that my tastes and my needs have evolved also. At this point, the qualities I cherish most in a relationship are emotional intimacy, laughter, respect, wit, curiosity, generosity of spirit, and the ability to share one's love freely and with affection. What does that all mean? I don't know...it sounds more complicated than it feels. My partner is someone who is kind, intelligent, confident, tolerant and ready to grow past the casual dating scene into something more meaningful and less transient. Although I am quite independent, I love chivalrous, masculine men - I know it is a bit of a paradox, but that is the way I feel.
Shall I be honest and tell you a few of my "lesser" attributes? I'm mechanically-challenged, and can't tell jokes without starting with the punch line first. I am pretty short (not freaky short, about 5'5") and have to stand on my tip toes at times to hug tall people and reach for things in upper cabinets. When I feel intensely about a subject, I don't hesitate to share that intensity. I have a short fuse for insincere and phony people, or for that matter, for people who cling to insincere and phony people because they think it enhances their public image or self-esteem. I basically avoid people who are racially prejudiced, thoughtless, unkind for no reason, and/or ill-mannered. I admit to being very visual, and feel that interpersonal chemistry is an indispensable asset to any loving relationship. Classic handsome "good looks" matter far less to me than what is inside a man.
I have been on this site very briefly over the last year and a half, and have met a couple of men, one of whom I dated for a while, but the relationship was challenged by geographic and emotional distance, and other obstacles. Although I can be shy, I'd like to try Match again and would enjoy making new friends in the process.

Meet someone special from Arizona, United States. Life is ever-changing so I find the need to change with it. Everything in and around is moving at a very fast rate of expansion. It would be great to experience life with someone that can also
change and grow to be a true connection to himself, me and the world in ever-changing ways.
I really love to relax and be spur of the moment. Having to run here and there are fine but I seem to have left that behind. I am not look for anything that is not real. Life has upsets at times. Someone that wants to share his life in a open and honest way. No hiding.

Date a woman from Arizona, United States. First, I am new at this online thing as I have a couple of friends doing this and thought I would give it a try.........so be gentle on me, hee hee
My job is rather intense (which I love) however, I balance that out with my love for nature and my horse. I love to camp with (or without) my horse somewhere cool and exciting. I also love to hike or be on a lake somewhere. I love the mountains and fortunately I live close to them. I love to be around people that make me laugh and people that like to have fun in life. I am not at all into drama as there is no fun in that at all. I have awesome friends and family and love them all. I really am just looking for someone down to earth that enjoys the finer things of life such as nature and just plain enjoying life. Good dinners, movies, conversation and I am not at all into material aspects of life so many get involved in. I love travel and challenges. I'm independent, self sufficient and I am not a needy person nor am I looking for a needy person. I am simply looking for someone that knows how to enjoy and love life to it's fullest. Mix good company and some laughter with that and I'm good to go. I am most passionate about horses and fun. I love to laugh and smile. It warms my heart~
Your probably going to want to have a horse if your want to hang around with me. No need to beat around the bush about that because out side of work, I spend most my time with my horse somewhere beautiful and with good friends. If I'm not hanging out with my horse, I'm traveling somewhere cool.
BTW I am not at all into the bar or night club phony scene. There are so many other fun things to do besides being hit on in a bar especially when someone has had far too much to drink. Matter of fact, If you drink more than one drink you are probably not my kind of guy. I'm not into the drinking scene either. If you like a glass of wine or a cold beer on a hot summer day, there is nothing wrong with that though. A man in my life has to enjoy the finer things in life and none of that includes phony, materialist egos.
Must have a love for nature, animals and life and have the ability to be true to yourself and honest with others. A self confident, independent, fun loving, down to earth man just might spark my interest. Of course, if your spontaneous, adventurous, fun and ready for anything, that would definitely spark my interest.
