Date men and women from United States / California, 34 year old

Date a man from California, United States. Hi...it's pathetic when that's all you can get when your trying to impress women with how great you are! In all honesty it's just awkward trying to sell my character and personality with a few words on a computer screen. With that being said let me say some things about me.
I am honest, sincere, genuine and loyal. I treat others with respect and am not into drama or games and expect the same in return. My friends would say that I am hysterically funny, generous, humble and the best damn cook they have ever met, I would agree with them.
I am always game for anything Outdoorsy, whether it be a day trip to the beach, foraging on the sonoma/mendocino coast, skiing in lake tahoe, tubing and generally hanging out on lake berryessa or a frisbee, a dog, some friends and some cocktails at a local park...I'm into it! Cooking is my absolute passion. I am a professional chef and have been
cooking for the last 5 years. It is definitely the most stressful/rewarding job I have ever had.
I would like to meet women here who share similar interests as me and are looking for something different. You MUST enjoy being treated as someone special and understand that chivalry isn't dead in all men. I may not know all of the laws but I know the basics and can google the rest. Also, Please be into food and not shy about it. I love to Dine out and cook and when I go to a restaurant, I wanna be able to order anything and when I'm cooking at home I wanna impress...boneless skinless chicken breast dosen't cut it!
I hope this gives any potential readers a tiny insight into my world, and if you'd like to know more send me an email and well chat!

Meet someone special from California, United States. I am easy going, patient, go with the flow type of guy. The majority of people would describe me as funny, kind, respectful, smart (I think because of the glasses) and friendly. For fun I enjoy riding my bike down the L.A. river bike path or at the beach. My taste in music is all over from classical, jazz, blues, rap, hip-hop, retro 80s and everything in between. I’m not a fan of reality tv, I must admit I have never watched a 30 Rock, Greys Anatomy or American Idol episode. My type of sitcoms are, The Three Stooges, Threes Company, Seinfeld, Family Guy, South Park, The Simpsons and 3rd Rock from the Sun. Most of my favorite movies are mostly foreign like the Bicycle Thief, Incendies, Children of Heaven and Pans Labyrinth. I also enjoy silly movies like Talladega Nights, Superbad, 40 Year Old Virgin and Blades of Glory. My favorite fruit is the banana, I am open minded, I enjoy debates, and warm towels right out of the dryer.
I am a bit religious, I pray when a white and black pulls up behind me when I'm driving or when my team is down by 1 point and there is less than a minute to go for the game to end.
Here are some of the things on my Bucket list: skydiving, finding Waldo, catch Carmen Sandiego, understanding how GW Bush was elected twice, win a carnival game, learn how to text on a phone (can never find the letter Q), complete a 1000 piece puzzle of the blue or night sky...
Do not hesitate to ask any questions, if you are interested, first 50 callers get a bedazzler!

Date men and women from California, United States. Originally born in Los Angeles, I moved away at the age of 2 to the Northeast (Massachusetts/RI). Now, 30 years (ish) later I am back in Southern California trying to settle down in a more agreeable climate :-)
Work had me coming back and forth from the east coast to the west coast and eventually I just feel in love and stayed. So far I am enjoying SoCal and all it has to offer from good food to the weather, and I plan on staying for some time.
I am a fun loving, energetic, and outgoing individual who... wait.. I guess you could just get a Dog instead, sorry to waste your time. I miss my chowda (does anyone know where i can find some?) and my New England seafood, but all in all am happy with the move. I work in IT for a global company and get to travel around a bit as a result.
I am looking for someone who shares my love of life and everything in it, the good and the bad. I am also looking for someone who enjoys exploring on all kinds of levels (food, travel, new experiences, etc.). If this is something that sounds like you, than don't hesitate to hit me up. Whether we end up being friends or more it will be an experience I am sure we will both enjoy.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I'm a native so cal guy who likes to life life by three simple words, "keep it simple." While I enjoy splurging on things here and there I do tend to enjoy the simple things in life: a good movie, sushi, a well cooked steak, in n out, an afternoon just chatting with friends, etc., I surround myself with positive people who can enrich my life and experiences while steering clear of drama queens.
The arts have always been a big part of my life. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember so you'll never find me without my sketchbook handy. Give me some paper and a pen and I'm happy. Much of my passions revolve around artistry in some way whether it be spending time drawing, practicing martial arts, or spinning some tracks on the good ol turntables. They're all just a way for me to express myself.
Graduated from UCLA (go bruins!) but doing something completely different from what I studied for and I enjoy it very much. It affords me a flexible schedule to pursue my hobbies.
If you enjoy the comedy stylings of Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, George Carlin, Russell Peters, and Mitch Hedberg we'll get along just fine. I love going to comedy shows and feel lucky to have seen my favorite comedians in action resulting in a very sore cheeks and aching abs from laughing so much.
So there it is. I'm giving this online dating thing a shot and being open minded to meeting others who enjoy the same things I do. After spending so many years building my career, I'm simply at a place where I'm looking for someone to go on a journey together into the next phase of my life.
Cheers :)

Date people from California, United States. Ah, the infamous “Who am I” section. That delicate line between selling yourself and coming off obnoxious...all the while trying to sound witty...I do have to say, it’s a tough task trying to sound humble when you are as awesome as I am...
Still here? I hope so...All kidding aside, I’ve never been a fan of talking about myself...Besides, if I told you everything, where would the mystery be?
What I can say is that I’ve been around long enough to know that dating in LA is unique...Easy to find a date, hard to find someone you want to continue to date. And I realized that pre-conceived notions of, “an ideal partner” are often rooted in fantasies that are meaningless when you are trying to find someone you want to wake up next to in 25 years. I’ve been surprised so many times over the past few years over whom I found compelling and whom I found inane that I’ve now refused to make a “must have” list. Well, except one...you have to love to laugh.
As for me, I’m a bit more of a contradiction. On the surface, I appear to be the stereotypical guy that you would expect. I throw charity events at my house. I have season tickets to the Geffen and the LA Opera house. I fly to Paris every year and pretend to a Parisian and eat nothing but cheese, wine, and bread for a week.
On the other hand, I fly to India and South America for medical missions. I don’t own a car (in LA, I know) and run to work. I ride a motorcycle and have tattoos. I don’t have a TV and haven’t for five years.
As with everything in this world, nothing is as simple as it appears.
If you want to know more, you are just gonna have to buy my memoirs...or you know, just send me an email and ask...
Oh, and if you know what my username refers to, then you get extra points and my undivided attention...

Meet single man from California, United States. Here are a few important things to know about me: My family and friends are very, very important to me. I treasure any time I get to spend with them. My work is also important and I like getting up and heading to work every day. But as much as I enjoy it, I make sure there is always time for fun. I like to travel, enjoy the outdoors and stay active. I think it’s important to staying healthy and have fun.
I’m looking for a woman with a kind and beautiful heart. This girl is someone who enjoys helping others—and strives to be a better person each and every day. She maintains a positive attitude and an adventurous spirit. And she’d like to travel the world—together.
I know the girl for me is out there…somewhere. So if you think you fit the bill, make yourself known.

Date a man from United States. Im a hard working honest guy looking for someone who is patient and honest. I devote most of my time to raising my son so I am trying the online thing and would like to meet a nice girl to share life with. I love the outdoors and spend alot of time in the garden. I'm looking for someone who likes to try new things and like me for who I am. I like to think I am a hopeless romantic with a good heart. I am looking for someone to be in a relationship with and I am not into the bar scenes and dont get out much, hence the online thing so why not try right?

Meet someone special from United States. Ok, someone give me a reason to get of this site! (jk..ok not really)
Well, I guess I'm just still looking for a nice girl..
Ok, I have some questions for you.......Can you put on a dress and go dancing all night with me? Can you join my co-ed softball team and go out there and get dirty and kick butt?! Can you put in a full day at work and still find time for us? Would you like to learn to play golf? Will you go to Church with me? Can you cook? Can you be cooked for? Do you like to have company over? Does a Saturday night staying in with some drinks and board games sound like fun? Are you up for camping on the beach? Ok, no more questions...
I stay in good shape, work out regularly and like to jog, golf and surf. I also try to eat right, although I slip up now and then. So, if you are the fast food at midnight type then we're probably not a match! I think it's just a matter of keeping a good healthy balance.
I also have some tattoo work. Nothing major that can't be almost hidden in a tee shirt though.
I find myself in Church almost every week. So someone who is a Christian also is very important to me.
'Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres'. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
In case your wondering about my divorce, it was not my idea as I never considered divorce an option. But I wasn't given much of a choice, so I gave her what she wanted, didn't make a scene and moved on. Any questions, feel free to ask me.
I'm not looking for anything too serious at first. Just some fun and see what happens..
Remember: Someday, someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else.

Date people from United States. Hey, welcome to my profile :) Well, lets see....I am a chivalrous man, and like to hold the door for a lady. I get annoyed when you don't let me. Music is my medicine! I'm happiest when mixing records and am working on playing piano. Currently partying a little less, and meditating a little more. I consider myself to be spiritual and strive to find the lesson in all my troubles. My cucumber mojitos are pretty much amazing, and I usually end up bar-tending my friends parties. On my days off I'm getting lost in nature, or rolling out for a show. I take my camera where ever I go, and am an artist trapped in a business world. Always down for a game of scrabble, and am a sore loser. Lived in Brazil and New Zealand and still have wanderlust in my blood. I am somewhat of a gourmand, and am always experimenting in the kitchen. Cooking is my therapy! I work in the motorcycle industry and it's a big part of my life. With that being said you should like hopping on the back for a ride. Recently started Rosetta Stone Spanish, and will take a trip around Latin America once I'm proficient enough.
As far as you go I don't know. It's hard to breakdown. It's a whole package kind of deal, and I will know it when I see it. With that being said, I tend to gravitate towards "bohemian / indie" type girls with a streak of tomboy in them. Lol! One thing I do know for sure is that I am drawn to someone who is as laid back as I am. Looking for a girl with a heart of gold and who is centered. I don't play mind games because in the end all they are is a form of manipulation. I am in fact, not a manipulator, and certainly don't like being manipulated. So genuine sweethearts only! Well my lovely's, good luck and Godspeed! - Reed

Meet single man from United States. I'm enjoying my life, and it'd be great to have someone special to share it with me... I assume you feel the same way. Moreover, I hope to be enriched by your presence just as much as you will be enriched by my presence.

What's one of the things I most value? One word: time. I've been humbled enough by life's moments (both good and bad) to realize how precious time is. So I try not to waste time on anything that doesn't add to the enjoyment of my already busy life. Therefore, if you are a flake or a psycho -- or a flaky psycho –- please move on to the next profile.
About me: Lived all over America, so I'm equal parts (1) Midwest chivalry, (2) East Coast ambition, and (3) West Coast chill.
In other words, let’s break this down with an example... (1) I might hold the door open for you at a restaurant. (2) If there's a guy following you, I'll stop him from getting a better table than us by punching him in the face. (3) If there’s a guy following that guy, I’ll wind back my arm to punch him in the face, too... but then stop myself and think, “You know, this guy seems alright. And I don't want to be known as 'that guy who punches faces,' so I’ll let him through the door pain-free."

I delivered the Best Man toast at my best friend's wedding. I told a few stories of youthful mischief, and capped it off by unveiling a torn and tattered paper bucket from Kentucky Fried Chicken that I’d saved since we were kids. (Long story…) That day says a lot about what's important to me: celebrating the past while always living in the moment. Too cliche? Next time I’ll work in a reference to face-punching.
What am I looking for in a woman? Well, I have high standards because I've been fortunate to have some of the world's greatest women as friends and family members... I'd love to add you to this pantheon of greats. I'm captivated by self-aware women with a balanced, “centered” energy. A woman who projects patience and poise: a smooth, easy, unforced energy that is both comforting and intoxicating. Similarly, I love people who show grace under fire... someone who has perspective, keeps it positive, and doesn't sweat the small stuff.

That said, you never know what you're truly looking for until you actually find it... so go ahead. Surprise me.
P.S. I'm looking for a long-term relationship first and foremost, but I'd also be very open to friendship, too.
