Date men from United States / California / Berkeley, 68 year old

Date single man from California, United States. This is a wonderful time in my life but it would be great to share all that lies ahead. I enjoy a good sense of humor and a broad range of interests Kind of a mix between a kid and a serious guy. I have enjoyed Motorcycle Touring (though not an active rider these days) having travelled through 44 states including Alaska as well as 6 Canadian provinces. While there is room for improvement I love to play Golf. As a spectator my favorite sport is Basketball with Baseball a bit behind that. However, I am not an addict and can record a game to enjoy the immediate situation. Good conversation on a wide range of subjects. There are many places around the world I would see and doing that with a special friend would be fabulous.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I am a mild manner man looking for a partner in life. I am retired and a home owner. I am grateful for my good health, my daughters and my grandson. I like to take short trips to different cities to play golf and eat fine foods. I am honest and looking for the same in a person. Like going to casino's, movies and working around my home. A beautiful smile makes me smile without reservations.

Date a man from California, United States. Know that I am interested and questing - I am curious about all sorts of things (is this science?) and whoever I find - there are so many of you!) has to be interesting - curious about the world - people. That makes life fun! So what if we look like we have lived full lives, as long as our brains are still working and asking, searching and learning. Bataluk, gee, what a male
Understand - I mention that (hey, honesty calls). There are some things that are hard to understand (walks on the beach - romance is NOT beach walks), 'soulmate' - soul is a religious idea - looking for a friend, not a guru. High heels (actually, like them, just don't get how they work). Anyway - I am no saint - not after being around as long as I have, but have learned from experiences and I hope that I can communicate better than as a teen, youth, and various stages until now. Have learned that men and women communicate differently. Lots of books on this - don't plan to write another. Still, a great difference. I mean GREAT in that it's fun and makes life interesting. Right! Guys are dull. Doh! Sports bore me. Like to sail - small boats - any size really. Oh to sail the world (seasick, who cares)! I am found in the wine dark sea of life - Now a few more things - do you read? I do - not the usual novels; biographies to novels to all sorts of non fiction - consistency not required. Poetry, sadly not too good at writing it - but I think it. And I listen to all of music; music is good. Outdoors and the sky, wild places over the world attract me - climate not an issue. Actually, it is an issue. But probably more so for coming generations. Mostly I want to learn out of life, life is learning. Now if I could only know where to write to, not talk (or maybe talk for real). If you have looked at this several times, maybe it will mean - where do I write? Like for real - or not so real - uh oh I think that I dont' want to fence myself in in any way here - I'll know when I meet this ideal match - you tell me - and I will tell you. Of course, I would like you, just like me, to be perfect in every way. Honest, tall, short, slim, beautiful, etc. - rich would be nice too! But, like me, you are just what you are and have become though the learning process of life - as such you will be interesting. Intelligence (no, I don't give a test!) is a requirement. Sometimes it looks like the search IS the whole story. But I guess that is not the best way to look at it, better to see the search as a watercolor sketch when the final canvas will have lots of oil paint, thickly laid on, with texture galore - oil on water. Uh oh stream of you know what again. Now if I say "Paris" - would that do anything for you? Perhaps "Rome" or "London" better? But I return to Paris.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Seeking NOT Hiding - that is me in today's variation of the old childhood game of Hide and Seek.
I have lived intensely in both the married and divorced state, each contributing elements into making me who I am. I have three children who are an integral part of my life, even if they don't live with me. (IMPORTANT NOTE: my 14 year old boy lives with me half time; you should see this as an opportunity rather than an obstacle). I enjoy my alone time and can get hooked into and lost in a book. But sharing memories and creating new ones with an intimate partner are elements I treasure and strive to bring back more fully to my day to day life. Maybe that is where you might fit in.
Having worked with younger kids - my own and my students over the years - I have a pretty youthful outlook on life. Boyish energy always lurking.
On the physical side, I keep myself in good shape and consider regular workouts to be a prized part of my weekly undertakings. I've always been an avid swimmer, skier, and hiker. I am a hands-on type of person and thrive on a casual loving touch, an arm on the shoulder of a friend, a lingering look into the eye of another.
While I regularly hang out in the world of nature and the outdoors, I am a cosmopolitan man, speaking a number of languages, traveling extensively, living abroad... I hang out most often in jeans and a flannel shirt, but I keep my tux in the closet, ironed and ready to go.
Relationship-wise I look for that wonderful balancing of independence and intimacy. Very little beats laughing together - it is as much an essential as is sharing physical and emotional connections on a deep level.
If you are still with me and wondering what kind of woman I am looking for, it shouldn't be hard to figure out. Your outlook on life is optimistic, even while you likely have dealt with challenges we all face as we mature. You have a quickness of mind that you feel is as important to keep in shape as your body. You are undoubtedly trim, thin, and or "athletic." Your eyes sparkle and you smile often. You reach out- to others, and maybe someday to me...
I invite you to make a start right away.
Today would be fine!
