Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Oakland, 43 year old

Date single man from Arkansas, United States. I'm outdoorsy, artistic and professionally (web) skilled. I'm a musician, ex-army medic, favorite uncle, financially secure and occasionally very funny. I'm an ISTJ who most people would think of as an E, but I'm not. I surf or mtn. bike often.
Intellectually refreshing, sensitive, vivacious companionship is highly encouraged...I'd like to find someone with a sense of life-balance. I like dating a lady who's as much herself with or without makeup. A lady who still appreciates a guy who will open a door for her and has fun at either campground or hotel vacation.
(Write, Phone, Meet please)

Meet someone special from Arkansas, United States. I enjoy honesty and happiness.
I hope to find someone who is settled in themself and able to look for new adventures.
I expect that everyone has had life experiences that have molded them to date.
I hope to find someone who can reach out above their past experiences and find out there are some truly "good" men out there who can treat them with the respect they deserve and treat them to the many things in life
that make them say "wow" to themselves on a daily basis, repeatedly....
I am an experienced chef and love to create wonderful dining experiences, (for two or a group).
I enjoy being fit and working out at a club, or on the street, or on a trail, or in the water, and I would enjoy someone who enjoys the same to keep me company and motivated.
I hope to find someone with a sense of humor that can can take ribbing in a light manner and give it back.
I have almost 3000 more "characters" to describe myself...If you don't get me by now...............(here we go....)
I am a deep-sea adventurer who would prefer to be on the water than on land!
I work hard so I can play hard.
I am a dedicated person to everything in my life.
I am hoping to meet some fun adults who have their own lives already who are looking for a new perspective on things, and new introductions to new experiences. To find my real one would be ideal!
I love getting in the back door or back stage at shows.. It's a hobby.
I am educated, well read, travelled and accomplished.I love my life but I am looking for new, perhaps unthought of, adventures, that a new, fresh breath, can provide.
I am looking for someone who can take care of themself, but doesn't mind letting someone help.
I was raised to be helpful, empathetic, and compassionate, and I enjoy being that way.
My friends and I enjoy that we are "gentlemen" and have no problem being labeled as such. Life is too fast for so many people.
We don't mind going slower and showing respect to our elders and others and, perhaps,allowing them to go before us (especially when we are trying to check all our gear for the flight to Marsh Harbour) I will tell you later.
I don't really watch t.v. much at all. If i do it is tivo'd pawn stars, storage wars, or antiques roadshow. I like seeing treasures unknown explained. I do like watching movies. I just can't get wrapped up in reality shows about strangers living their "odd" lives in full, edited view..just kind of wierd. I would rather be out living my life, or watching something educational. 1300 character left... Really you, don't get me by now............................................

Date men and women from Arkansas, United States. Established professional (FULL DISCLOSURE: I am an attorney - please don't hold that against me! For some reason, many don't lke lawyers??? Thus, I prefer to disclose up front.) looking for a classy, interesting mate with substance AND 720 FICO score (just kidding)!
One could accurately describe me as a romantic, energetic, exciting, balanced, spontaenous and multi-tasking individual. Example of spontaneous side = Thur evening and we catch a late night flight to Miami to see a Miami Heat game and relax on South Beach (trust me, the atmosphere is great!). I lived in Canada for a significant period of time, thus, enjoy the brief two hour flight to Vancouver, BC for a fun weekend! Planning to take a few cooking courses at Le Cordon Bleu in SF and Greyston Culinary Institue in Calistoga. Perhaps I can try out my skills on you. You never know????? Summer winery concert time, so need a COMPETENT AND QUALIFIED date for the concert series in Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley and Mountain Winery. Is that you???? After a relaxing and fun filled weekend, perhaps I can run some investment and tax management strategies by you??? A woman who is about handling her business and her kids is SEXY! Step your game up and let's talk!
Though I frequently work long hours while simultaneously raising my young child full-time (proud Mr. Mom), I can easliy find opportunities to play as hard as I work. Anyone up for dinner in Maui tonight????
Not unusual to find me on the weekends with my child, tool belt hard hat working on real estate renovation projects [After thinking about that massive amount of work, I think I need a glass of champagne:)].
Personality = very low key, relaxed, witty and spontaneous. I don't take life or myself too serious and not afraid to be the grunt of the joke!
In my leisure time (yes that actually exists), my interests are quite diverse and interesting.
As an ex-college athlete and representative of pro athletes (basketball), I would prefer someone who is active and interested in attending pro sporting events.
I prefer a live conversation to evaluate chemistry as opposed to a long winded biography on myself. Let's talk over a nice glass of wine, sunset and concert at a local winery!
CHEMISTRY IS VERY IMPORTANT, THUS, IT IS POINTLESS TO PROVIDE AN EXCESSIVE ONLINE BIO! LET'S HAVE A LIFE CONVERSATION VIA PHONE AND GO FROM THERE!
ALSO, I WILL EMAIL A PHOTO PROMPTLY AFTER RESPONSES!
Have a great day and look forward to speaking with you!

Meet someone special from United States. I love hiking, cooking, going to the beach, running, movies, dining out, live music, wandering neighborhoods and small towns and always looking for the road less traveled. I love the open mindedness of the Bay Area and all that there is to do. I do miss my family who are all back in Madison, WI.
Here are some thoughts and ways that are important to me...hopefully some will resonate with you... a life that isn't manic... Relationships that are seriously rich with trust, love, communication, commitment, passion, dedication, laughter and longevity... Conversations that range from serious and deep to goofy and absurd.. Much time spent together..Some time spent alone.. Time with friends. Time with family.... Talk is good.. Quiet time is equally good.. Empathy is a gift. Sitting down and sharing dinner is healthy...Working hard and being successful makes sense.. Humbleness is crucial.. Occasionally getting wild and crazy is mandatory... Sometimes staying in bed all day is worth it...Relaxing is a must... Being smitten is fun.. Passion is necessary.. Holding hands is really nice.. Kissing is underrated.. Growing old together is a dream worth pursuing.
Good luck in your search....and don't stop believing.

Date a soulmate from United States. I am a fun loving woman who likes to have a good time. I love adventure. I am very spontaneous, and can have fun doing almost anything, as long as I am with the right person. I work hard and love my kids. I am looking for a long-term relationship with a wonderful romantic and adventurous man.

Meet men and women from United States. IРІР‚в„ўve been described as being easy to get along with, perceptive and a good listener. IРІР‚в„ўd say IРІР‚в„ўm equal parts analytical and intuitive. I fall closer to the introverted end of the personality spectrum, though I open up around people IРІР‚в„ўm comfortable with and laugh easily.
I’m originally from Chicago and have been here for six years. I find it funny when Californians say they’re going “to the snow.” It still surprises me that “the snow” no longer comes to me. I love the Bay Area’s natural beauty and need frequent and regular doses of it. At the same time, I’m energized and inspired by San Francisco and city life.
Some of my interests include travel (have been to quite a few places, lived in Tokyo), walking/hiking, meditation/energy healing, movies, lectures and book talks. I enjoy museums and a variety of types of performances, lately dance. I like going out but can be just as content staying at home.
I'd love to meet someone who's independent minded, self aware, empathetic, creative and grounded. A person who's trustworthy and has integrity. Someone who's not afraid to get his hands dirty and wouldn't care that my cats walk around on the counters. Someone who uses both his right and left brain. An old soul. A good listener. Someone who laughed at Zoolander (okay, maybe that's asking too much!).

Date a woman from United States. IРІР‚в„ўm an intelligent, down to earth, generous, and responsible girl with a sarcastic sense of humor. IРІР‚в„ўm quite shy - but it doesnРІР‚в„ўt take long for me to warm up to a person.
Enjoy reading, long walks (with my favorite canine), hiking, fine dining, live music, weekend road trips, and camping.
Love early mornings and prefer hot springs over hot tubs, swimming in lakes rather than swimming pools, and casual bike rides to road bike cycling.

Meet people from United States. I'm creative and low-key. I rather like my job and work as a freelance illustrator and designer. I started out as an illustrator but now i'm working on mostly games and apps.
It's a rather charmed profession. I'm quite dependable and rational for an artist. I can be rather mischievous when i get to know you. So it would make me happy if you have a good sense of humor.
I have some good friends. I'm generally low-key but can be talkative with the right people. I love talking and hanging out with people who have similar interest. or just having fun conversations.. without similar interests. lol..
I've traveled a bit and it's nice but i think i think it's even better if you have fun with someone having picnic at a parking lot.
I'm not someone who likes to be the center of the attention, but i do well with outgoing and gregarious people. I'm curious by nature, good with my hands, comes with being an artist. I'm learning to be a better cook. I do the basic stuff well but once in a while i have new obsessions. Lately it's pickling and chocolate covered stuff.. (not together thankfully. ;-b)
I think b/c i like my work and it helps to keep my spirits up. So i hope there's also something you love about your life(your job, a hobby , or families/friends) that keeps you optimistic. I find that i do better with ppl who are also passionate about something in their lives. Outgoing is a plus but as long as you're reasonably social it's fine by me. Someone who's active and enjoy the outdoors is great too.
I like outdoors. i work out at the gym regularly..I bike and hike..the usual stuff. I'd like to check out all the summer festivals. so if you find my profile interesting perhaps we can hang out at some.
I'm looking for someone who's friendly, optimistic, somewhat content with the direction your life is going . Have friends and families you love. Can roll with the punches when there's a bump on the road, I'm sort of the same way. Someone who doesn't think relationship is a cure-all but life is better lived with the right partner.

Meet a soulmate from Oakland, United States. I'm a great person: smart, responsible, successful, driven, never been in jail LOL, spiritual, independent, fun! My friends describe me as: thoughtful, caring, hard-working, insightful, good listener. I decided that I need to make time for love and here I am. I hope to meet someone who's looking for the other half. I know exactly what I want by the way. Insecure need not to apply. : )
My first date is something like a walk in the park, a drink at a pub, no movies or big plans, just simplicity
I'm starting to plan a trip to probably India or Europe again, or both! It would be fun to have you as my partner!
I would love to have you close from home so we can go the gym after work, take the dogs for a walk or simply go by the water to get fresh air after a hard day at the office...
