I became widowed and retired at about the same time. I really did not have a plan or thought about this circumstance I find myself in. I have avoided eating animals for going on 15 years now. When I considered meeting new people, I found that I am not interested in building new friendships or bonding with people that do not share my thoughts and beliefs about plant-based eating. I am nearly 70, so why waste the effort. I have old friends who just think I'm weird, and have known me long enough to be accepting of my quirks, being vegan is just another one. When I thought about dating again, I decided they must be plant-based, vegan or vegetarian. My sweet wife was all of those at different times. I also wish to only date other widowed people, so it seems like I am asking for a lot. "Well, who doesn't harbour a Hallmark Christmas dream of a Winter Solstice lantern parade to end 2025 with!"

As a child, walks in the park with my father lead me understand that animals aren't our playthings. From that, I decided that it was wrong to test on them, but somehow it didn't occur to me to also question eating them. But now I've been (mostly) vegan now for two decades. (I say "mostly" because I still will sometimes have cheese, such as when I'm at a restaurant without dairy-free alternatives.)
I'm fortunate that my career enables me to promote my values while using my sense of curiosity, my impulse for creativity, and my desire to socialize. Because of all that, I tend to be a pretty upbeat and positive person.
I like to explore and learn about new things (especially when they are a bit quirky), so I enjoy museums and architecture tours. But I also enjoy browsing book stores, thrift shops, flea markets -- and casual walks in forest preserves. (Bonus points if if a deer shows up!) For a more low-key form of downtime, I like conversations or snuggling on a couch to watch a movie or TV show. (Some favorite shows: The West Wing, The Newsroom, Downton Abbey, Great British Bake Off.)
Quick clarification on two of my "Personal Information" answers:
- For "Have Children" I put "Yes (but not living with me)"; I raised them, but they are both adults now (25 and 20).
- For "Religion" I put "Atheist"; arguably I'm more of an atheistic Buddhist.

I am an outdoors guy. Hiking, kayaking, powered parachute pilot, disc golf, ball golf (okay, I totally suck at ball golf), rock climbing, skydiving coach (pretty good at that, you can only suck once) you name it, let's go do it!
I am an extreme empath, which is a blessing and a curse. 420 friendly. Sarcastic, funny, spontaneous, sexy and fun AF! I act 25 to 30, I am in awesome shape and work out regularly. I have a very high sex drive. May I apologize up front for the torn clothing? I'm kind of an animal, hope that isn't a problem.
I own an auto repair shop. I have 4 doggo's and 6 kitties that are my heart. I am strong in my convictions, and I have a ton of integrity and honor in a world with little. I was a vegetarian for 19 years before I went vegan 9 years ago.
I believe in freedom, not politicans. I am rebellious when it comes to animal rights. I have organized and been in dozens of fun, adrenaline pumping protests including the ones that brought Ringling to its knees!
But most of all, I love. That is who I am. Wanna take a chance and find out?

I am a healthy, spiritual person who now finds himself with more freedom to pursue new friendships. I am recently divorced, so for now, more interested in creating long lasting friendships. As time goes on I would be interested in pursuing a more serious relationship with someone special.

Let's connect via phone or in person. Life is too short to spend all of it texting!
I'm interested in building a strong relationship, where friendship is central to our interactions. I have no specific "job expectation" of you, although it's pretty important that you are able to self-support, as a Partnership is the ideal. I produce cosmetics myself and enjoy anything creative. For fun, STEM activities really stimulate me and help my creative energy flow. I am fairly outgoing and drawn to the confident, well-mannered, respectful type of Man. Cooking is my all-time passion, and I seek to open a bar/restaurant within my lifetime. If you would like to find out more, feel free to just ask.

I'm looking for a nice person to do activities and have fun with. If something serious develops, terrific. I bike a lot and like to be outside playing, doing most anything. I am easy going, quick witted, have a good sense of humor, and am reflective about life. I laugh easily and bring laughter out in others. I am honest and genuine, and looking for the same. I have a contemplative side that comes out in my yoga, tai chi, and meditation. These add balance and perspective to my life. Life is not to be taken seriously, except when it is. I have long lasting friendships and value them immensely. I easily meet new people, in both my work and play time. I enjoy going to new places and doing new things and both my work and leisure life afford me this opportunity. I live a healthy lifestyle and am primarily plant based. Let's go have some fun outings, or talk on the phone, and see how things go from there.

I aspire to seek truth, be honest, and to live the golden rule. I believe nature is to be revered and not conquered, that the current division of the planet between human and nonhuman habitats is badly out of balance, that people should be held responsible for themselves. Aside from being unconventional, I’m articulate, well mannered, affectionate, very tactile. I value simple living--I live in a walkable neighborhood, I bike 5 minutes to and from the gym in the morning, and I do errands on foot whenever possible. I enjoy vigorous daily exercise, hiking (day hikes & serious backpacks), bicycling (usually 30-50 miles), listening to music, reading, movies at home, home maintenance projects, gardening, my cats, travel. Now that I am retired (as of May 2019), I plan to volunteer with animal welfare organizations and possibly the local schools. I’m a bit of a loner, lately more than I’d like to admit, but I do my part to carry a conversation. With regard to religion, I don’t pretend to know much. My intuition tells me that life has meaning that transcends the self and humankind.
While I am earnest and values and character are extremely important to me, I’m not serious on an everyday basis. I do like to play!

Updating this section years later - originally I said that I was intelligent, quirky, messy and that I don't "go with the flow". That has not changed. What may have changed is that I have greater understanding of some of the reasons.
I would hope that everybody becomes wiser as they get older and gains greater self-awareness, though I think that it's also easy to become cynical and develop anxiety or fears (or develop other adaptations) that affect your day-to-day existence simply because the longer you are alive, the more likely that you have accumulated bad memories from what you have witnessed, and what you have experienced of the negative realities of our world.
As for me, I am wiser though I still have a long way to go. I'm still curious and mercurial which is not conducive to being organized, and I do pay the price for that. I think it helps me in other ways to keep myself from depression. I have very strong emotions and yet a really logical and analytical backbone which are often at battle.
I hate writing about myself, but as I just demonstrated, I can get carried away in spite of myself, so it's a good spot to stop and mention some of the more surface things, like...
My big focus right now is spending time outdoors where I live. It's rural, there's field, there's forest, there is always something to discover, from identifying plant life (which unfortunately includes battling some pretty aggressive invasive plants) and animal life, to weird insects and various other critters. Sitting amongst the tall grass knowing that I can't even be seen from the road is magical for some reason.
I have worked in technology (IT) for many years, yet I have to admit some of the magic is not there like it used to be. There are some ideas I had for projects that I am keen on if I can figure out a way to fit that in with the other things that dominate my time, without dropping the ball on one of them ...
Animal rescue/providing care/reducing suffering/promoting well-being. This is often painful, often sad, but it's what I value the most.

Hopeless romantic early retiree turned full-time travel photographer looking to slow down in long-term relationship. Seeking an active, outdoor, fitness oriented partner to share in travel, bicycle touring, and down-time to recoup and regroup between adventures. No time for TV. You bring the smile and a positive outlook, and I'll bring the tools and know-how to keep us both rolling. Where do you want to go?

I like to be active and keep in decent shape; not buff, but not pudgy either… kind of a happy medium! I like to do things outdoors and be active, but I have to admit I can Netflix Binge with the best of them, or spend an entire day moving from couch, to chair, to lawn chair, to bed, and back to the couch reading good a book. I’m pretty middle of the road politically. I used to lean more to the right, but now lean more to the left. I strongly believe in doing what we can to minimize climate change. I spend most of my time in El Paso where i work, but also own a home in Albuquerque where my two of my children live. I visit them every few months. I also have a daughter in Minneapolis and a son in Virginia Beach who I visit once or twice a year. I would love to travel more but work gets in the way. My ‘plan’ is to cut back to 20 hrs/week at age 62 and I’m on track to meet that goal. I’m excited and apprehensive about it at the same time. I sooo want to work less, but I sooo sooo don’t want to be bored. I think going part-time will be a good stepping stone for me, and will give me more time to travel. In the meantime, I’m just enjoying my job and interacting with my clients and co-workers and visiting my kiddos when I can.

I went vegan for the animals aged 15 and never looked back! Animals are a huge part of my heart especially cats. I'm happiest exploring vegan cafes, browsing charity shops, singing or enjoying walks and being out in nature. I enjoy board games and getting lost in a good book. I love nights out, gigs, vegan and local festivals as well as cosy nights in. I take part in vegan outreach and love visiting and supporting animal sanctuaries.I'm a big fan of good conversations too - either serious or silly.

I’m 62, fit, young at heart, and someone who enjoys living life with curiosity, purpose, and a good sense of humor. I’m semi-retired and self-employed, primarily working in e-commerce and independent sales. I also love finding new life for things—whether that means reselling unique pieces or creating home décor from repurposed materials.
I have a BA in Social Ecology from UCI, and I’ve always cared about people, animals, and the planet. Originally from New York, I’ve called Orange County home for most of my life. I have a 38-year-old son who lives in Costa Rica, and I’m grateful for the life and experiences that have brought me here.
I’m looking for someone compassionate, kind, and emotionally genuine, with a great sense of humor and a zest for life. Ultimately, I’m hoping to find my best friend—the person I can laugh with, explore with, and share the rest of this life with.

I've been living in Los Angeles since I graduated from university. I currently live in downtown LA. There is almost nothing better for me than having a dog or cat come up to me wanting pets.
As for interests they definitely skew to the nwrdy side. I like sci-fi, fantasy, and similar genres. I go to San Diego Comic Con every year. I've also recently been bitten by the travel bug and have been seeking out and going on vegan group trips.
I have spent most of my career as a microchip design engineer. I also have my own glass work studio where I make marbles, beads, and small glass sculptures.

I wrote a book called Possible about innovation and psychological creativity (available on Amazon). I have a Bachelor degree in Psychology and a broad range of interests. I pretty much read constantly, both fiction and non-fiction. I read a wide variety of news sites and I follow news about electric vehicles (I'm supporting this idea). I ride my bike, walk, and swim for exercise. I never watch sports (except for the Olympics) and play my acoustic guitar daily.
