Date men and women from United States / California, 40 year old - page 2

Date men and women from California, United States. I really hate having to talk about myself but here goes... I am just trying to find someone to have some fun with and get to know, if something else comes of it then great. My friends would say that I'm always the joker of the bunch. I enjoy music, dancing, going out for long rides on my motorcycle, paintballing, camping and going to concerts. I want to find a woman who is not superficial and is looking for a man who will treat her with respect, I don't understand why women want men who will treat them like crap as long as they look like they are photoshopped. Enough about me let me know about you, what makes you tick? What are your likes and dislikes?

Date single man from California, United States. This is my third try with Match, and very hopefully my last. Most of what you’re about to read is likely going to sound like a string of nakedly honest admissions designed to put people off. I suppose there’s some truth to that, for I am not for everyone. I am an intensely unique person with a wonderful set of flaws that I’ve committed my life to understanding. Helen Keller said that, 'A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships’, and that sums up a significant portion of who I am and what my life is about.
I work as a backcountry guide in Yosemite National Park, guiding and teaching people not only the ins and outs of backpacking, but how to enjoy themselves in the backcountry, which is often the more important job.
Several years ago I committed my life to turning my back on the sedentary and disconnected life that I, and many of us, have lived... for no other reason than it seems to be the status quo. For nearly two decades I lived alone, and was fiercely independent... to the point of being almost entirely devoid of any meaningful contact with people. That’s my demon - my tendency to be a loner. There, I said it. Its part of who I am, and has certainly helped me at times... and its an important key to understanding me.
Being so independent taught me some very valuable things, lessons I’d never willingly give up. However, the price I paid was my tendency to isolate myself from people. In committing to this change in my life I decided to search for a job where I could use my independence constructively, while also reaching out to small groups of people and building meaningful relationships. Guiding turns out to be exactly what I needed, and I’ve committed my life to pursuing it. Not only because I love it, but because its precisely what is good for me. No other single pursuit has been as cathartic or as beautiful, while also allowing me to give back to others.
Sure, maybe we’ll meet, have a drink, and just be friends. I’ve met some very close friends through Match... friends that I’ll have for the rest of my life. Maybe I won’t go on a single date in the next month or two. Maybe this last try at Match will simply lead to a few great friendships. I’m following my heart by signing up again. I wasn’t wrong in the past, even though I didn’t meet the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with, and maybe this time it’ll be the same. Regardless, I’m here to find you... and I certainly hope that I do. My life isn’t quite the same without you, wherever you might be.
I'm very affectionate and love to be romantic. I'll send you text messages from the other room just so I can hear you giggle. Spending a night home cooking together while listening to some music or a movie in the background is bliss for me. If you aren't looking to spend the rest of your life having a huge crush on one another....
And while I'm likely portraying myself as being relatively intense (which is true, to a degree), I am equally silly and spend most of my time laughing or smiling. I don't spend a lot of time watching TV, but when I do I'm usually watching PBS, documentaries, or something ridiculous like Arrested Development or Archer. I'm also a voracious reader, spend quite a bit of time trying to hone my photography skills... and I also climb, after finally getting back into it after a long hiatus.
Can you happily spend an afternoon outdoors? Are there songs that will move you to tears? Are there moments when you’re frustrated with life and the world because it sometimes seems like most people just don’t seem to get it? Have you ever wanted to spend days hiking into an area where you don't see anyone for days... and then spend hours skinny dipping and laying in the sun at a pristine lake at 11,000 feet... surrounded by granite peaks? Are there countless other things that you can truly enjoy alone, but would mean so much more with just the right person by your side? Here I am.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Match should have to write this part for you, don't you think? Well here's a peek into my crazy, exciting life. I've been living in Laguna Beach for eight years now after moving down from San Francisco. A typical weekend for me involves a surf session, then playing some beach volleyball, followed by a BBQ with a few friends. The only thing missing is a good playmate and friend to share this life with. That's you right?
Words that describe me are: confident, silly, gregarious, fun-loving, adventurous, competitive, entrepreneurial and smart-ass.
I love most sports and like to stay active and fit. I'd love to find a partner where we can keep each other motivated to have fun playing sports, snowboarding, surfing, etc.
My biggest affinity is traveling. If I haven't been there, I want to go. I've been all over the world several times and appreciate both the perspective it provides me about our country and the world in general. It's amazing the people and adventures that are out there when you walk out your front door. If you can backpack in Europe one month, do a surftrip in Costa Rica the next, then hit up a fancy weekend in San Francisco/Napa another, you're my kind of girl.
I believe in being positive and treating people how you'd like to be treated. Hopefully you also believe in karma and the golden rule .I place my treasures in great friends and experiences.
You are confident, independent, gregarious, athletic, adventurous, competitive and prefer an adventure over a vacation.
If this sounds like you, let's talk and see where this goes! Drop me a wink or an email.

Date people from California, United States. 40 year old professional with a quick, dry sense of humor looking for a match. Looking for that uncanny, offbeat, someone that wants to exchange witty banter and check out different scenes. While I am into artsy, indie things, I also enjoy watching and attending baseball, football, and hockey games (primarily endorsing Detroit teams: Tigers, Lions, Red Wings...and also the Pittsburgh Steelers).
Time flies...I have gone through tendencies of focusing on and becoming engulfed in work to the point of losing touch with the real me. Learning, accepting, and implimenting balance is key. It is now time to re-engage. I am committing to changing things up, pushing personal boundaries, and tearing down walls, inhibitions, habits.
Some of my best friends have described me as that perfect someone to have around at all the worst times. Although, I also make sure to be there to celebrate the victories and triumphs in life too.
Important traits are integrity and honesty. I do not expect anyone to merely take my word for it as these attributes are only fully realized through actions and behavior over time. My friends often talk of me as being genuine, which is an accomplishment of which I am proud.
Looking for someone that enjoys philosophical conversation, just hanging out, and perhaps also wouldn't mind an impromptu trip to the beach or Tahoe.

Meet a man from California, United States. After some amazing life experiences in St. Louis, Phoenix, LA and New York, I'm ready to reach out past my amazing social and professional circles to meet that fantastic "someone" who's: put together, honest, interesting, smart, active, creative and open to the chance of starting something with "possibility". Yet with all the pressure of that life-goal, I'm really hoping to start something casual and on a friendly level to make sure the chemistry is right.
I'm a traveller and spend time all over, which makes it hard to find a true connection. But I'd love to have a reason to dig roots and start a family, thus the online kind of thing.
I'm into Design, Architecture, Film, Alternative sports like surfing/skating/bike riding, Photography, Music and the hunt for the perfect goodwill or garage sail, as well as the ubiquitous urban safari to bag the perfect gimlet.
As an entrepreneur since high school I am driven and dedicated to the energy enthusiasm of "creation" but diligent to take the time needed to decompress and enjoy life. I'm lucky to be able to choose the hours I give to work, live, inspire, and create.
Not to toot my own horn (but that's what this profile is for) I'm just a good guy after a clean divorce, who is happy, successful and secure, no baggage or dependencies. I'm active and engaged in many different things. I'm all about giving back, volunteering and being the life of the party, but I'm also sort of a loner and appreciate the spaces between the notes that create the music, if you know what I mean.
My friends tell me I'm creative, thoughtful, caring and dependable and that I'm funny but not obnoxious, serious but not oppressive and silly on a regular basis.
Originally from the midwest, I've lived all over and my mom helped me developed a special blend of respectful values and new world savvy that I call Modern Chivalry - Basically it's the idea that I'm hoping for a modern girl who wants her independence and life, but appreciates that I've got her bak as well as door, in the big picture.
Really, I'd love meet someone at like, the grocery store - because we caught each other's smiles, have a coffee that turns into a bike ride to the water for a sunset walk with great conversation. Then on the way back, run into a spot to have a drink and listen to some live music while people watching.
But, in the mean time, since I shop at the Venice farmer's market on fridays, if you think we might have something in common or you are interested in finding out more, shoot me a note. If it works out maybe we can just tell people that we met over fresh veggies:)

Meet someone special from United States. Me, I'm just a soutHern gentleman from North Carolina. Moved to Los Angeles in 1995 to be an actor, hated it...moved to behind the scenes...the talent representation side. In a match, I'm looking for a very free spirit. Someone that can have fun anywhere, whether it be at a coffee shOp or relaxing at home. I do love to watch film (as you might have realized that I work in that end of the entertaiNment business), so please be interEsted in going out to the movieS pretty often.
Basically I love life and I love living life. I enjoy the ouTdoors, traveling, restaurants, laughing, going to cultural events, and socializing with qualitY people. It’s just better living and sharing life with someone else
I'm also a semi-professional photograPher. It had been a hobby for yeArs, but I finally started doing it as a side busineSs. It's a good creatIve outlet.
10 movieS that I love: Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Magnolia, Fight Club, Seven, Adaptation, Memento, AmerIcan History X, Full Metal Jacket, LA Confidential, Jerry McGuire, IntO the Wild, Good Will Hunting, StaNd By Me, The Big Picture…oops, that’s 14.

Things I could not live without in todays soCiety: love, family, sweet tea, Wonderful PistAchios, music, film, laughteR, this beautiful CalifornIa weather…
If you’d like to know more say “hi”. I dIdn’t reveal a lot about my self for you to read on purpose. Rather we chat, talk, eNgage in conversation to get to know each other instead of us reading throuGh a long page in this section about each other. Also, just because someone looks like a good match “on paper”, doesn’t necessarily translate in reality.
Note: there are capital letters above where they shouldn't be, they are an anagram message (reflecting words that describe me). First test, send me the words! :-)
One quote I live by: "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." -T.S. Eliot
My favorite poem: "IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:"
"If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:"
"If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'"
"If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!"
~Rudyard Kipling 1865-1936

Meet a soulmate from United States. I'm a nice, honest guy who can be too straight forward for some people. I have a good sense of humor, and even find it in places where others don't. I think I could find a dozen or more people who would vouch for me as being someone YOU would want to be with.
Looking for a nice, busty woman. It doesn't hurt to have some of the same interests, especially when it comes to activities. I enjoy a great deal of things, even if I haven't done them yet. I say things have to start with the attraction and work from there.
You have a sense of humor and a nice laugh. You drive and/or live in SF. You don't mind public displays of affection. You're silly, like me. An interest in science, science fiction, music, art and/or photography would be ideal. I've been getting into a bit of electronic dance music - a genre I've never delved into before.

Date people from United States. Looking for the one or just a great date.The one that I can be comfortable with and talk to about anything and vice versa .
Random info about me: I'm kind of a shy guy until I get to know someone, or drinking, and fairly down to earth. Kind of quirky. Have a dry sense of humor. Have never been married as my fiance died in a car accident and haven't found that right person since. Have contrarian views. Am sarcastic at times.Looking for someone with a slight weird streak. I am very affectionate I think. Love to kiss and cuddle. Love to laugh at inane silliness etc. Laid back for the most part. I like the beach, I like to travel. Love to explore. Love to have fun.

Please message if you got this far, and feel we have multiple things in common :)

Meet a man from United States. Hi there, are you a geek? I hope so! A nerd? that’s cool. A little dweebie? Who's not? Do you get excited when you think about going to vegas!? Are some of your most memorable moments camping in the high sierras or off the coast at a beach? Taking road trips for no reason? If you answered yes to all these questions then we need to talk!
I'm looking for someone who isn't afraid to let her nerd/geek flag fly! Maybe it's your love of x-files, Buffy or even reading the Harry Potter stuff. Or perhaps you are a math, computer, or software geek? For me, it would be almost anything sci-fi and pretty much anything that takes place in space.
As you might guess, I might be somewhat of a geek. But that's who I am, and at this stage in life I feel it's important to be honest with myself and others. It doesn't mean that's all I am, but it's a large enough part that I feel the need to get it out there and find someone who might be like minded.
I am looking for someone to be a true partner in life with. I am looking for someone who could be very independent if they choose to be, but would prefer the company of a funny, smart, lovable guy. A love of animals is a must. A belief that people are generally good, and who has compassion for all, especially those less fortunate than us. I am conservative when it comes to my own finances but liberal when it comes to social issues. A perfect match for me would be someone who is like minded about social issues. If you are someone who loves to watch Glenn Beck, or thinks Sarah Palin would make a great president, then we are probably not a perfect match. ;). I am attracted to a cute smile and great sense of humor more than a specific body type. The only catch is, YOU should be happy with who you are and how you look, whatever that may be.
