I'm an "Oh-my-God, can I be sixty-five?", almost fully follicled, alive and present, well-traveled and spoken, active and athletic man. I'm at ease in a castle or cottage - prefer being outdoors - hiking, golfing, tennis, playing with my yellow lab, Champ. Most TV boors me - I'm a participant, not a spectator, though I do love to read and chill. Learning anew thrills me. I feel at-one in the natural world while loving old cities - still have wanderlust. I like fine things but am not materialistic. Big houses, expensive cars, etc. were nice but no longer a requisite - been there , done that. My sense of self come from within. I dress well - not fastidiously. Shared interests are vital, done together. Purportedly an Aries - dreamer, optimist, romantic. My assured individualism is my strength and weakness. Being with me isn't dull. What I truly want is a friend, a best buddy and playmate with whom to share the joy in life. I want to meet and engage an authentic woman who will meet me head-on. She wants to be met emotionally. I am discriminating with certain personal standards. I want a bright, discerning, witty, alive and fit partner who's open to the world. She lives out of love, not fear. She's not a survivor. She'd be accepting of life's disappointments and opportunities, appreciate its serious inanities and be able to laugh at it all and herself. I am an imp at times. I enjoy kidding, being kidded and light-hearted banter. Peace has come to me as I've learned to let the universe unfold and, in so doing, accept all of life. I'm enjoying an easy centeredness and grounded feeling. Life tastes good.

Quite simple - meet for a coffee/tea or glass of wine casually - let it happen or not.
I've predominantly chosen Caucasian women, though I'm open-minded about the rich opportunities other than those. She has to be active and physicality fit. I'd like a partner between 50 and 65 who's 5' 2" to 6' 1".
Spirituality's important to me. My journey's inside and mine alone. Religiosity does not appeal to me because I find I only learn and grow by staying in the question.
I love music, classical on down, except syrupy C & W and Rap.
