Date men and women from United States / California / Sonoma - page 7

Date people from California, United States. Thank you for reading my profile!
Why don't you sit right down here for a minute on this virtual cushion (pat, pat, pat) and let's have a nice chat.
As you can see from my photos, I may no longer be a poule de printemps but I'm nowhere near my sell-by date. I'm tall, well-educated, well-groomed and I have no insufferable habits that would make you want to just scream. I have a very pleasant and kind disposition but being born and raised in New York, you know there's always going to be an edge. I am never smarmy.
I'm in good shape and physically very active.
I like to talk, even concerning things I don't know anything about. There's a certain talent there, but I've never quite managed to turn that into a huge profit.
I'm still working, happily, for myself as I've always done since my 20s. I just couldn't find a career on the rack as a young man that fit me, so I made up my own. I wear a lot of hats but I have only one head. Some men might fail to mention that but I believe in being very honest.
Although I was raised as a city boy, and will always be comfortable in the metropolis, as I've matured I've taken more to country life. I even have a garden, for gawd's sake. And here I thought that all vegetables grew in shrink wrap and all insects were roaches. I'm stunned with my newly acquired talents.
In terms of “what I'm looking for”, there's no set pattern here but like most of you out there, it would be great to share experiences and travel with someone you're just a little, or a lot, ga-ga over. I like my women strong and my tea weak. If you've taken good care of yourself, or tried to, as I have, we'd probably be a better match.
I'm young at heart, too, so I know what's going on in the world, with tech, etc. and have friends of all ages.
Best of all, I'm fun. “Beware the man who cannot laugh at himself.” (that's from my mom when she beat me in poker).
PS: Please be wonderful
FAQ DEPARTMENT:
Q: How come you were never formally married?
A: I forgot.
Q: Would you date me if I were a conservative?
A: If you were a fiscal conservative, yes, definitely. If you were a social conservative, do NOT press the “send” button.
Q: Do you believe in a Supreme Being?
A: No, but I do miss him. But if you do, go for it. By the time either of us finds the answer to that, we probably won't be dating anymore.
Q: Are you the artistic type or the rational type?
A: Balanced. I can do both pretty well. Inventive would be a good word for me.
Q: Do you like to dance?
A: Meh...not really, but you can dance for me (zowie!)
Q: Who is your favorite artist?
A: Van Gogh, but not so much the part about his ear and the hooker and trying to stab Gauguin and stuff.
Q: Have you met anyone on match?
A: Yes, some wonderful people! Dated one for a year but she was actually in love with her cat, come to find out. I was a fool not to see it.

Meet single man from California, United States. Gosh, where to start. I usually make a couple of trips to the back country of Idaho every summer in a taildragger airplane that I have. You can be as much as 75 miles from the nearest road or civilation. Much wildlife, nature,and yes, the sound of coyotes as youn fall to sleep. I also just returned from an airplane trip to the midwest to see old college freind
I have been retired from my dental profession for about 8 yrs, but have had a real-estate profession since then. I have a deeply engrained work ethic from the good old mid-west. BUT I want to slow down and enjoy my life and the things that I like to do.
No silver spoon here. My father died when I was 3 yrs old. My mother had 3 boys in 1946 with no father to help take care of them. I worked my way through college and dental school and had every loan available. Hence my can do and conservative nature.
Enough of me.
What about you? Do you like nature, wildlife, antiques, flying, gardening, home designing, or a glass of wine on a beautiful quiet evening being outside, or by a fire inside in the wintertime.

Date men and women from California, United States. I used to be more athletic but my long walks and sports are seemingly a thing of the past. My brain still works pretty good. I am still working at the law with some very rewarding work for a service disabled veterans group. Serving good causes is important. My most satisfying accomplishment was starting a high school age soccer club for recreational players. Before this the club stopped at 14. I helped extend it to 19. I coached a girls team which was both satisfying and educational for me.
Family is very important to me. I have four children from two marriages and try to speak with them all at least once a week . I moved to Sonoma 5 years ago. It seemed awfully small at first but I find small towns have their own charm. Biggest change is the sense of time. Sonoma tends to measure time in seasons rather than hours or minutes as does the city.
Since moving to Sonoma I have learned much about wine and even more about cheese. Also learned there are too many good bakeries for my health. The restaurants are good with lots of variety. Nothing quite as good as reading a book on the patio at the Swiss Hotel with a glass of white wine and calamari with Jean, the best waitress ever.
Love all kids of music from Verdi to Hank Williams, not HW, Jr. Love jazz, mostly BeBop with Sonny Rollins and Miles Davis. Big band jazz and trios and everything in between.
My most passionate music love is opera. And San Francisco has a great opera. A good dinner near Civic Center and a wonderful opera. Doesn't get much better. Don't get to go as often as I would like. Opera is something I feelnI have to do with someone else.
I tend to like sharing simple things Nothing better than talking about books we've read or going to the movies. Looking to meet a woman who I can share a baseball game, the opera, and maybe a jazz club. Most important might be not doing much. Wine tasting followed by dinner so we can drink the good wine we found. Either go out to a restaurant or cook at home. Sharing the cooking can be fun. Simple as pasta with a great sauce or as complicated as duck with cherry sauce.
Not sure how to describe myself. I have a good sense of humor. I am interested in learning more about how people think. I have been accued of "thinking about thinking" and enjoy learning about different cultures and how different cultures and religions deal with those big elusive concepts of life. Have read some philosophy but not so much now. Reading history of Civil War as this is 150th anniverary.;Want to go to Gettysburg and Vicksburg. Want to stand where Chamberlin ordered the 20th Maine to charge.
Not religious. I am very tolerant of other people's beliefs but basically an atheist who believes there is an energy that maintains and powers our universe, and all the universes beyond.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Just a basic man interested in life, health and the pursuit of a fine woman. I enjoy quiet times the mountains working out and being successful at my profession. I would be fortunate to find a lady who loves life is confident in who she is, is uninhibited and does not have to much baggage. (I acknowledge we all have some)

Date single man from Sonoma, United States. If you are looking for a warm, compassionate and intelligent gentleman, read on. I am very proud of the wonderful loving adults my children have grown up to be. I love spending time with them but they are not close by. We love to cook together with a glass of wine in the kitchen., then sit down for a great meal together. I keep myself trim and fit because it gives me more energy(plus I can eat a little more !), and I feel better about myself. That would be nice in a partner. Wish I had better hair genes, but can't do much about that.
Men are slow learners, you know, but I have enough years now to be a great loving companion ! Looking for an outgoing, classy, and feminine lady that likes to have fun with her special guy, and needs a strong, confident, passionate man to complete her life. For the record, I am a hugger and toucher kind of guy, and a soft kisser. Kissing in the kitchen is fun but can result in burned food !
I am generally upbeat , except when I am depressed ( just kidding )and enjoy life and laughing, and making others laugh when I can. I am stimulated by talking with positive, interesting, and intelligent people. I believe I am open minded about issues , and would like the same in my match. I love a variety of music , especially light jazz,, and enjoy dancing when the opportunity arises. I am independent and happy, but also enjoy socializing. traveling and doing things together. I have found that not everyone is photogenic, and are wonderful in person. I am looking for someone that like me, takes care of themselves, eats somewhat healthy ( at least some of the time, like me !) and is fun to be with. I have been waiting to visit a few new countries because it will be more fun with a great companion. I enjoy quaint small countryside towns where people have more time to chat and share their cultures, more than visiting museums in big cities.
She is charming, interested in a few things I enjoy , and we have good "cheimistry". Like me she enjoys outdoor activities ( as well as indoor !), likes great food and wine, is attractive, upbeat, and has lots of self-confidence. Like me, she is a hopeless romantic. She has an inquisitive nature and enjoys being with people. A few common interests are desired but we are both independent people . We are both ok with a little risk or we would not be active here !

I don`t want to argue or fight ......I`m a former marine who served in vietnam and cuba in the 60`s. I've played soccer internationally until the age of 60. I love to cook and had a 2nd job as a catering chef in the wine country to put my 2 daughters through college. Because of my love for good food and wine I exercise regularly to keep my weight under 175 pounds. I like to take over in the kitchen or share the enjoyment of cooking together.

COURAGE?

Pay attention to your health, Beloved, because I wish to share as much time as possible with you.
Friday, October 28, 2011 I and other poets gave a poetry-reading on Domestic Violence in a Santa Rosa, California bookstore. You would be proud of us. We exposed the needless suffering of woman at the hands of hurt and bitter men.
Divorced? Then you are that MORE special.
From the cliff of jumping-off, I watch
The stream below rush through rapids
Only to slow and stop for deep ponds.
Do I step-out and become part of the water-fall,
Or stay with the pain and look beyond?
Don as "Tauno"
Post Scriptus: [April 15, 2012]
Today I received my points for a course in the writing of poetry. I have been locked inside myself for about the last three weeks waiting for the examiners to assess my ability. I have never invested so much time and effort into completing one course in my life. At the end of the course I wished for one thing---that of an exhausted tutor and an even more exhausted me. I got my wish and I got my points. Here Here!

Meet a man from California, United States. Being a sensate, translating feelings into thoughts is challenging. Having 'experienced' life from many perspectives, I have come to know that it's all temporary and uncertain and continually chang- ing, and joyful...when we let it. I'm a 62 year old father and half time "papa" of an amazing 7 year old daughter. I've been "lookin for love in all the wrong places". The opportunity to give and receive this 'unconditional love' I've been hearing about is my most amazing adventure so far. I truly love life, and experience it in many ways...my garden is alive...literally!Heartfelt, loving, independent, soulful, artistic, creative, soft, earthy, alive, playful, evoLving, healthy, trustful, spiritual, accepting, giving, compassionate, peaceful, thoughtful and real.
