The great philosophers Jake and Elwood once said, “Everybody needs somebody.” I’m a 56-year-old California-based guy (who’s lived in a few other places over the years), searching for somebody: a unique woman who’s smart, a little sassy, fun to spend time with, and true to herself and those around her, big heart a bonus.

I’d love to meet someone who enjoys a cozy night in with a movie, values her health, and is as thoughtful as she is genuine. Ideally, you’re the type of person I’ll laugh with over private jokes and share moments that are ours and ours alone. I am 70% introverted myself (but you can be either), and at the end of the day, I’m looking for that first and last voice of my day—the one I say “goodnight” to as we fall asleep.

About Me: My interests are simple but meaningful: I love travel, road trips, cooking, photography, writing, music, films, reading, and coffee. I’m happiest with my feet in the sand, listening to the waves on a day off. I’m 420-friendly, though I don’t smoke and rarely drink.

You’ll often find me in jeans and a T-shirt, more of a homebody but always up for a night out. That said, I love a good street fair, a beach day is my favorite thing or a trip to thrift stores, or discovering hidden treasures at a garage sale, but with the right person even a day with us food shopping or doing laundry is fun because it’s all about who you are doing it with. Bonus points if you have a great sense of humor or appreciate Dad jokes and puns. Transparency and honesty mean a lot to me.

What I’m Looking For: Someone to connect with, grow with, and share this crazy journey of life. Let’s chat and see how we vibe—naturally and organically. To make sure you’ve read this, please mention your favorite ‘80s band or song in your response (bonus points for deep cuts).

Location isn’t a dealbreaker (as long as you’re in the USA/Canada), and age doesn’t matter to me—it’s all about who you are as a person and how we mesh.

I’m not into crypto, scams, and no I won’t send you iTunes gift cards to pay for your grandmother’s surgery or whatever nonsense is the latest right now. I am only interested in real people.

If you are real, then what are you waiting for? Send me a DM! Tell me about yourself—your age, location, and interests—and share a favorite photo. I’ll happily send one back in return. To quote Page & Plant, “Gotta find the Queen of all my dreams.” Let’s see if it’s you.
