Date women from United States / California / El Segundo, 67 year old

Date a woman from United States. I want to find a man who can share his life and love with an affectionate, intelligent, and reasonably independent woman. I am not interested in short-term relationships or serial dating. I enjoy a man who stands up for what he wants and what he believes.
Photos are from 2010 and 2011. My taste is eclectic to say the least. I love music from soft classical to rock 'n roll to mellow jazz. I enjoy live musical and comedic theatre. I love a wide range of art, museums, architecture, and design. I enjoy the Scottish festival - love those bagpipes.
I like to paint, draw, read, cook, and garden. I love watching football, shopping, mystery and comedic movies, and doing just about anything with a special person.
After a lifetime in Los Angeles, I still have my Midwestern roots flavored by many years in this city of multi-layered cultures and perspectives. I believe in understanding, loving, and supportive relationships that evolve through time. Love the work I do, but I want to slow down, perhaps even stop, and share a meaningful, close relationship. Being a loving woman in a tender relationship filled with romantic interludes is part of what gives us comfort, closeness, and sheer joy.
I love to cook new and sometimes exotic dishes, entertain friends, and share anything that makes me laugh. Food, friends, laughter, and life in general are best when the feast is shared.
Time and energy are the greatest gifts we have. You giving me the simplest kindness from those gifts can make me smile for days.
If you can tolerate a woman who is affectionate, loving, nurturing, articulate, reasonably independent, has an irreverent sense of humor, and has a wealth of living experience, we could have a warm and loving relationship.
The man I would like to have in my life will be fun, active, health conscious, reasonably fit, open to loving me, and getting to know who I am. He will enjoy some of the same things that I do, but have his own interests as well. We can explore new things together.
