Date men from United States / California / Bakersfield, 56 year old

Date a soulmate from Bakersfield, United States. I'm posting a profile on this site because my late wife taught me the value of love in its many forms. Now widowed, I was happily married for close to 28 years and would do it again because of many happy moments shared during that time. The tribute I pay to my special, caring lady, is my willingness to give myself to another special person.
First, I am in no way perfect, nor close to being perfect. I consider myself a work in progress and hope that you do too. Just think of how we might grow together! What I am is a down to earth, easy going guy. A little rough around the edges maybe, but with the right touch from that special lady the edges smooth out. I may appear to be a little shy at first. I haven't dated in over 28 years. I'm more spiritual than religous, but do believe there is a greater power watching over and guiding our lives. I don't play games, don't like dramma and I am a one woman man.
Material things don't mean alot to me at this time in my life. Married life taught me the ups and downs of getting through days together and I found the richness in that learning more precious than "things." I would like to think we had a good marriage. There's good and bad in all marriages, but we were together and loved each other to the end. I left work and cared for her the last couple months of our life together. We had the unique, unforgetable opportunity to hug, kiss, say I love you and farewell just before she passed and went on to her new home. She was my life partner and soulmate, someone who was there for me as I was for her.
Through that experience, I saw what really matters in life at a deeper level -- it's the loving, caring feelings between two people in a relationship and time spent together doing things both partners enjoy together or seperately. I learned that there are many dimensions to love. Some of it's deep, some rests at friends. All of it is what makes life grand. Life is short and I think it's important to focus on what's important.
My ideal partner is passionate and compassionate, loving, trusting and caring. You'll want to hold my hand, hug me, walk beside me and laugh with me. I like to laugh and will see if I can get you to do the same. I'll protect your heart and try to be your best friend. I'll tenderly kiss you and touch you with my whole self. I'm not afraid to show my undivided love for you and only you. I'm looking for someone with similar qualities, needs and wants. A long-term relationship or marriage is ideal for me as I'd like my next relationship to be my last.
If what I've described sounds good to you and we hit it off, I'll send you flowers and depending on the situation, maybe sexy but tasteful clothes. I like to travel (10,000 miles in 30 days) and would love it if you wanted to come with me. Short and long car trips give us a chance to build special memories and write our own story about the future. That's hard to do from a plane or train. I've seen alot of pretty places that would have been even prettier with someone special.
Contact me if you'd like to walk on the beach hand in hand and listen to the waves, watch a sunset or take a stroll on moon lit night. Or maybe a trip into the mountians to cuddle by a camp fire while we look at the stars and listen to a creek or river flowing nearby. Snow in the mountains is nice also if we're still together when summer passes. I never learned to ski or snowboard, but would do that with you if that makes you happy.
Now it's time to tell me about you. Where do your dreams live?

Meet a man from Bakersfield, United States. After 26 years of faithful marriage, the last 4 have been spent getting my son through Cal State. He is on his own now and moved to Washington to live with his mom. Growing old alone is not what I expected out of life. I became dissabled in 03 and I spend most of my time in my shop tinkering with one of my hot rods or helping friends. I wish I could find a woman who isn't afraid to be seen with a man that walks with a limp and uses a cane from time to time. Ladies I might be dissabled but I still get around. I need a friend for dinner, a movie, a smile, a hug or just sit and talk. I am looking for a woman with a good sence of humor ,a great smile and a big heart. What more could a man hope for? I am a faithful and caring man looking for the same.
Thanks for looking....................Chuck

Date single man from Bakersfield, United States. I recently moved from the SF Bay Area to Bakersfield, and the move has been good. This is a good, healthy place, with mostly good weather and the natives are friendly. Life is great.
I have 2 great kids, and they are my best friends. One in SF and one on the East Coast. They are leading great lives, and I thoroughly enjoy my time with them.
I work in financial services and things are good. I came here to get healthy and happy, and it has worked out. Bako is a good place for working out, playing golf, biking, hiking in the mountains east and south of here, and just relaxing. There are a lot of good places for dining and usually something good going on, like concerts and live music. I like the fact that things are close enough for the occasional trip to LA for special events, or to the coast, or to the Sierras. I get back to the SF area fairly often, and there usually is something good going there.
I have had the good fortune to have traveled a lot, and I still love to get up and go. I love traveling in California, the rest of the US, and the world. My favorite place is the next place I'm going, and what makes it special is who I'm with.
I want to find a woman who is young at heart, has a positive outlook on life, and is easy to be with. I think positive people are mentally and physically fit, and emotionally stable. I would like to meet someone and have such immediate chemistry that we quickly become fast friends. I'm looking for lots of laughter and humor, lots of fun and joyful times. Life can be hard, but it can be so good and so full. I want someone who wants to share everything that's good about it.
