Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Scottsdale, 39 year old

Date a man from Scottsdale, United States. A little about me: I was born and raised in Chicago (GO Bears, Hawks, Bulls and Sox!!) with solid Midwest morals and values. My parents have been together for over 45 years and my family is a HUGE part of my life. I graduated from Iowa State University with a business degree and strive for the best in everything I do. I’m also easy-going, straight forward, and drama-free. I'm looking for a relationship that is built on communication, trust, and common values -- one where we get lost in conversation, laugh and say, "Where did the time go." I also tend to be a traditionalist when on a date and, trust me, chivalry is not dead!
The hopeless romantic in me beleves, You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.~Bob Marley
Enough about me. Let's talk about you: Are you fun, fit, smart, and independent? Do you have a good sense of humor and can have fun in both large and small group settings? Do you know the difference between tacky and sexy? Are you happy staying in and watching a movie, road tripping to San Diego to hit the beach for the weekend, or just hanging out with friends? If this is you, let’s meet for coffee or cocktails.

Meet someone special from Scottsdale, United States. Update 07/20/2012
I just got back from a week with some great friend in Spain.
What an eye opener to say the least. The way they spend time talking at meals. Looking out for there family and friends.
Wanting a simple life filed with love and joy. So nice and refreshing.
Here in the states we like everything fast big and right now
As they say Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is a great relationship.
What I am looking for is someone to have fun with and travel with.
So of my likes beside that are working out, hiking, biking, shopping(once or twice a month lol), yoga, dancing, watch movies, music, football, etc,
I want someone who lives every day like it's their last, someone who can laugh with me at the ridiculousness(is that a word?) of life, someone who love my family and friends, someone who truly appreciates themselves and finally someone who respects me as much as I respect them. I want someone to creat memories with as well.
Hope everyone finds what they are looking for and take care.

Date single man from Scottsdale, United States. ..... looking to meet an intelligent, attractive; sincere woman with a sense of humor who wants to get off this website, make sense? :-) I can probably make you laugh without making you blush. I don't smoke, I'm naturally caffeinated. I enjoy fine wine. I have all my teeth and hair. I've never had a cavity or filling. I like icing cream and read Dorothy Parker. I enjoy being active in life. You’ll find me hiking, biking and traveling. I love dinning out as well as cooking a great meal. I consider myself a genuine individual with a passion for life. I can laugh at you and with you and would expect the same. I am comfortable in my own skin. I have a dry sense of humor. (think Larry David) I �ve been fortunate enough to travel all over Europe, Australia, all over the US even Hawaii and Alaska. But there's so much more to see and learn. I consider myself outgoing; I can talk to anyone and get along with most. More importantly I know how to listen. My epiphany of life is the here and now. I believe in having a positive attitude and a sense of humor towards life.
If I email you (boy chases girl) I read your profile, saw your pictures and found it all appealing enough to write you. Profiles are a nice way to start, but meeting face to face is the best way to see what we have or don’t have! If you are interested in emailing back and fourth for days/weeks and never actually meeting, sorry that’s not me. They have Facebook for the virtual lifestyle! I may have some melanin in my skin, (comes in handy in AZ) but I don’t have an accent. LOL I realize we live in AZ, not exactly the cultural capital of the US. I really enjoy being active in life. I don't expect everyone to have traveled the world, however I think respect for other people and helping people however you can, is a moral obligation to do the right thing. And being congruent in your personal and professional life is the only way to go!
So I guess the last part of this, I need to include is what I am looking for. Not sure I can write it all down in a profile or it's even that complicated but as I alluded to earlier, intelligence and beauty! And I don't mean perfection! I enjoy fine dining, but I’m not big into the Scottsdale night life. Once in a while it's fun and I have nothing against those who are still part of the club and bar scene, but it’s just not my scene nor is it really not the way I want to meet someone. I decided to sign up for Match because it seemed like a great way to meet new people. I guess Ill start there…. :)

Meet men and women from Scottsdale, United States. Well, it's sort of difficult to tell about yourself in a paragraph. But I'd have to describe myself as honest, intelligent, charming, and fun to be around. I try to enjoy everything that life has to offer. And from time to time, I like putting on my chef hat. Watching a good movie. Going out on the town. And definitely traveling!

Date people from Scottsdale, United States. I grew up in the mid-west and then moved to Arizona 6 years ago. I fell in love with the city, my neighborhood, and my life here. Although I can honestly say I'm not tied here and being who I am I'm always up for something new. For me, its not what I do anymore but who I do it with so that's why I'm here.
I have good values and I'm a pretty honest person. I would rather tell the truth and risk your feelings than lie and lose your respect. I'm a very open minded and accepting person so I expect honesty. I'm real and down to earth. I'm a goof ball too. I like to do goofy things when I'm out, just because and then I can be all serious. I'm intelligent and love discussions. I'm empathic and I can connect very easily with people no matter what walk of life they are from.
I consider myself spiritual in every sense of the word and have love in my heart for all people. I feel most connected to this living world through meditation, yoga, and through just about anything outdoors. I take care of myself physically and so should my match.
I can easily laugh at myself so please don't think I'm going to hit you up with the meaning of life and things like that at first. I'm also a guy that needs to know you can have fun too. I like women who can let things go when you need too. If you can't hopefully you find me funny and sweet enough to help you let go. If your too uptight, closed minded, ultra conservative, religious to the point where you need me to convert or have baggage from your last relationship we probably not a match. Love and light in your search.
I am most attracted to independant, sucessful, intelligent, caring, sexual, loving women. I look for a type of independance in that you are your own person and willing to let me come into your life. Oh by the way, I like to text aswell and if that is the fundamental way for you to get to know me were not a match. I want to hear your voice and hang out with you, shocking huh ? I want to find my best friend. A woman that wants a partner that will love her for who she is, support her in achieving her own goals or just chill together.
I am very secure with myself and enjoy being with someone that is easy to laugh, easy to smile and takes life as it comes. I like to think I don't sweat the small stuff however, when difficulties arise I want be that reminder to each other that life is best enjoyed while centered, connected and being together.

Meet a soulmate from Scottsdale, United States. Who am I? . . . I’m Spider-Man. Wait, no, that was a movie! . . . . . I would describe myself as stable in my career and goal-oriented. I enjoy making people laugh. I am intelligent and can carry on meaningful conversations. I care about other people’s feelings. . . . . . When I’m with someone special I like being spontaneous, adventurous, romantic, surprising them with little gestures, sensual, playful, and basically having that type of fun you see two people who just met in the movies having! Someone to laugh with, hang out with, be spontaneous with, and have fun with! I’m looking for someone who has similar qualities and desires someone who they can connect with . . . . . . I feel there has to be mutual physical attraction for there to be good chemistry between two people. So being fit and having good looks are important, as well as sensuality and affection. . . . . . Having some similar interests helps–some things I enjoy are fine dining, walking at the beach at night, going dancing, watching movies including foreign films, travelling, going snowboarding, going on day trips to local attractions, having romantic nights at home, cuddling, and basically having a blast together. . . . . .

Date a man from Arizona, United States. I am a fairly handsome guy, 6'2" with dark hair. I have an Ivy League education and do pretty well out here. I live in North Scottsdale and have been in the same house for over 10 years.
I just want someone who is nice and sexy. Doesnt have to be in that order either! I am not into Scottsdale girls, so if you just want superficial goods please find a different guy to leech off of. I think at this point I would like someone to appreciate me. I will email you pictures if you like.

Meet someone special from Arizona, United States. I value family, friends and variety in my life experience. Like many others I'm trying to meet someone special in a busy, fast paced world. I'm definitely more of a face to face, get to know each other kind of guy, so I'm particularly interested in those of you who actually want to meet up. Our best chance of having chemistry is taking a leap of faith and meeting for a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Life was meant to be enjoyed. I'm looking for someone to enjoy it with.
I'm looking for a woman that's outgoing, social, and who doesn't take life too seriously. One that can enjoy getting all dolled up for a night on the town, but is equally comfortable hiking or hanging in the park. I love a woman who wants to wear a dress because she embraces her femininity, and enjoys a sense of style, not just because she wants to look good for her man, although that is certainly appreciated as well. Being active is important to me and something I want to share, so being active must be important to her. Being career oriented is great as well, as long as there is room for fun. Chemistry is critical, but we'll never know unless we take a chance. I can't promise where it will head, but I can promise that I'll give it a try, keep an open mind and make it fun along the way.
I stay pretty healthy but appreciate balance in life. I start most days with a green drink, but start others with a Mimosa. After a good hike or gym workout, I'm just as likely to follow it up with a pizza as I am with some wine. I work two jobs. Not because I have to, but because I aspire for more. Many of the experiences I want out of life simply cost money so I'm executing a plan that will allow my son and me to continue to enjoy all that life has to offer. Don't worry. I'm not a workaholic. I wrap both jobs up most days by 5 pm.
I come from a great family, and I have friends all around the country in the many places I have lived (NY, Philly, MD, South FL and Scottsdale). I often travel to NY, CO and FL to visit with my family, all great places to visit.
My favorite sport is professional football. My favorite bands are Bruce Springsteen, The Doors, Guns and Roses, Bob Dylan and most 80's hair metal bands. Talents I wish I had and aspire to develop - playing the guitar, reading more and learning a language fluently. Best place I've ever been to our of the country, and I've been around, Positano on the Almafi Coast of Italy.

Date people from Arizona, United States. My friends would describe me as dependable, passionate, extremely intelligent, caring, kind hearted, very fit and very into fitness, loyal, faithful, I believe in doing what's right and I strive to leave a positive impact or impression on everyone I meet. Most would say I am very very funny. I have a great sense of humor and I'm usually the person in the room making everyone laugh. I've always been a people person, and I'm very outgoing.
I'm sort of old fashioned about dating. I prefer talking on the phone to texting, and talking in person to talking on the phone.
I am a fitness enthusiast. I enjoy working out, yoga, and most active pursuits. I consider myself honest, and open and I live by the golden rule. I am interested in meeting someone with similar interests. Someone who takes care of herself. Living a healthy lifestyle is really important to me. I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. It isn't necessary that my partner not drink, that's just a choice I make for myself (hangovers kill me). I don't mind occasional social drinking, but I am not really a bar fly and I wouldn't be interested in someone who enjoys late nights out at bars or clubs regularly.
I do enjoy watching sports and I regularly go to a sports bar to watch football, boxing, basketball, or UFC. It would be great to enjoy those things with someone else.
Important qualities to me are integrity, doing what you say you will do, dependability. Honesty. Emotional openness. Someone who can express her emotions and talk openly about what you want. Also being able to compromise and accept other's differences is important. Knowing what you want is important as is the ability to work through problems or difficulties. A strong interest and staying active and being fit is also really important.
With me you get so much more than what you can see with your eyes, I have an enormous heart and look forward to sharing all that I am and will be with someone. I look forward to getting to know you.

I'm a fairly intense person at work, but am a chill guy outside of it.
I'm looking for someone who can find the good in any situation, someone who has an overall positive outlook on life in general. If you love to create drama just for the sake of it, no thank you.
