Date men and women from California, United States. I am no longer a member of match. I am now on ok cupid. Same user name without the numbers. I have been separated for a almost 3 years now. I remain very committed to my children who live with me nearly half time. They are both teenagers which allows me quite a bit of "me time". I coach my daughter in soccer which I love. Howver, coaching a team of 14 to 18 year old girls is quite a challenge. I have lived in several places around the country and have now settled here. I will retire from the military next and at that time return to my nursing career.
Although my profile says "separated", there are reasons for not getting a divorce yet. Just ask. No chance of reconciliation.
A few other random things about me. I used to love mountain biking and I tolerated daily running. However, orthopedic surgeon told me my knees can't handle it any more. (I just figured the pain was part of the workout). Now I walk 3-5 miles a day to keep off the excess tonnage. I still enjoy a good bicycle ride but keep it more on the level these days. My mountain bike sobs in the corner.
I am relatively house broken. I rarely have dirty dishes in my sink. I'm not a great cook but can follow a recipe pretty well. And I always put the seat down. I was raised to open the door for women, pull out your chair, take your coat, etc.
Someone asked me about all the different looks in my profile pictures. Had a mustache until my daughter pointed out that her 77 year old grandfather had less gray hair in his mustache than her father did. Time to shave. Then, one of her friends mentioned that I was getting a bald spot. I didn't think it was an issue until she said, "but it's not in the middle". So, if my hair didn't have the common courtesy to fall out evenly, I shaved it off.
What am i looking for? I think I know more what I'm not looking for. I would prefer to meet someone who doesn't have young children. Although I love and cherish the time raising my children, been there done that with young children. Prefer not to do it again.
At this age, I think we all have a certain amount of baggage. But, it's how we carry our baggage that's important.
Good luck on your quest and thanks for stopping by.
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I am smart and honest, loyal and self-sufficient. My friends think I'm fun; your mileage may vary. The peculiarities of my work and parenting situation make it difficult for me to meet new people these days, so here I am.
I like most outdoor activities, and I enjoy not only playing sports and but doing almost anything competitive. I prefer to keep in shape through sport rather than by hitting the gym. I'm quite willing to try new things: I'll play your sport, listen to your music, watch your movies or tv shows. I can't promise I'll like them, but I'll certainly give them a try. I may end up liking them more than you do.
I'm also a bit of a nerd. My degree is in math, and I use math in my work. I like brain games; for example, I play chess. I like puzzles; I love figuring things out. To be completely honest, I find the solutions to certain types of problems of this sort to be very beautiful, as beautiful in their own way as (say) a lovely piece of music. If this makes you roll your eyes, I'm probably not the guy for you. If you just can't relate, that's ok: it's not a big part of my life, and there are lots of other things we can do together.
I like old movies and I enjoy musicals more than you do. I saw "Les Miserables" on stage in London in 1997 with an absolutely stellar cast, and it's been one of my favorites ever since.
Finally, for you world travelers out there, I must admit that I'm kind of a homebody. That doesn't mean I hate travel, far from it. I've travelled quite a bit around Europe and the US, and I've had a great time. But I don't *yearn* to travel or sightsee. I schedule occasional trips, usually with a specific purpose in mind. But after a week or two, I’m usually quite ready to relax at home.
I’m looking for someone who is smart, honest and loyal. I like people who are independent and can make themselves happy. I’m fairly upbeat, and I prefer to be with someone similar. I like people who are willing to talk about things, even things that make them uncomfortable – communication is so important in a relationship.
I think I match up well with a person who likes to be the social director. I'm not shy or anti-social, I'm just....disorganized, I guess. In certain ways, like this, I'm a fairly prototypical guy.
My two elementary-school age girls live with me half the time, so I'm not just an occasional dad. My kids are the most important part of my life; there are obvious consequences to that, so I wanted to make it clear.
If I look like the kind of person you'd like to meet, please get in touch. If not, good luck!

I truly feel treating people with kindness is an absolute. I am not a health nut but do taking care of myself. I enjoy shopping and wearing nice clothes. I am a gentleman and enjoy treating a woman like a woman should be treated. Most importantly, I enjoy the company of a woman. When God created the female, he did his best work.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Well, you got by the pictures so that is a plus. As all of you who have had to write up something know, this is the hard part. Who am I? Hopefully my profile gives some of the information. Whereas I'm at a good place in my life what with job, life and such, there are still so many things that I would like to do (Travel being a big one). Sharing them with somebody of like spirit who can appreciate similar things can only enhance the experience. I truly enjoy the outdoors. I do a lot of hiking, get to the gym 2 to 3 days a week, enjoy reading and learning new things. I enjoy going to museums, good movies, plays, and yes, even dancing. I think I can honestly say that I'll try anything at least once. Life is an adventure so let's have some fun.
I'm looking for a person that enjoys the adventures that life can bring. Whereas I don't have a "bucket list" per se, if I sat down and made one, there would be a lot of things on it. Yours would have a lot of items as well and hopefully, we can share the experiences together. A good sense of humor and not being afraid to embarrass oneself on occasion... maybe on the dance floor?
Since I do like to try to stay in shape and stay physically active, I'm looking for the same. Some things I value are honesty, a good sense of humor, intelligence, being a good talker / listener. Well, in the end, it really comes down to chemistry and whether the two of us are both physically AND mentally attracted to each other. The rest we can work on.
Are you up for some fun, some adventures and experiences? Would you like to share some of yours? Well, then, I may be a guy you can talk to and have a good time with. I'm outgoing and easy to talk to. I am going to keep working to have fun and enjoy life as long as I can. Care to join me?

Meet a man from United States. I would prefer someone who is on the same page as I am. I work out 2-3 times a week, but have always been health concious with my eating although every once in a while, a good burger always taste great.
I am very close with my mother and family at large. 15 of us in my immediate family. Love it, but they all live out of state.
I know that no matter where we meet people from be it a web site, an introduction, or meeting at the grocery store, it is all about connecting. I am very traditional and know what sort of woman would make me the happiest. I love the outdoors, drives, hiking, the ocean and I really like being around people I care about - family and great friends. I would do just about anything to make them happy and of course a lot of my happiness comes from helping others and how I was raised.
I am a solid guy who knows what he wants in life and with a partner. I don't want just a girlfriend, I want a future. It takes a minute with little thought to start a conversation, it takes less than a minute to push on to the next guy, but then you might of given up too easy in taking a gamble, that might just pay off!
I would love to be in love, but I understand on how building the right friendship and foundation is key to any great relationship.
Yes I am 50, but a young one for that, and know there is so much life left in me and would love to share it with someone who makes me happy. Plain and simple.
Date single man from United States. I consider myself to be an outgoing person who enjoys movies, eating out, sporting events, computers, bowling , travelling and supporting local charities(e.g. Alzheimers) since I lost my father to the disease.
I consider myself to be athletic since I enjoy bowling ( 3 times a week) and going for long walks.
I enjoy action and adventure movies (Batman, Spiderman, Green Hornet, and Captain America) and non-fiction movies (The Conspirator, The King's Speech, The Blind Side, and The Greatest Game Ever Played).
As for my favorite foods, I enjoy Italian, Chinese and Mexican cuisines. Even though my birth sign is Pisces, I'm not a big fan of eating fish.
I enjoy going to baseball games, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Los Angeles Angels. As for basketball, I'm a big fan of the Los Angeles Lakers. For Professional and College Football, I'm a big fan of the Green Bay Packers and Missouri Tigers.
I', not into reality television, but I do watch Fox News, ESPN, Fox Sports West, and Prime Ticket to stay current with national affairs and sports.
Twice a year, I enjoy travelling to either Reno or Las Vegas, Nevada.
I'm looking for that special woman who enjoys being close (touching, holding hands, hugging and kissing).
If you're interested, I would like to hear from you and maybe we could discuss this over a dinner and a movie. Or we can just sit down for a cup of coffee even though I'm not a coffee drinker,
Meet someone special from United States. Hi there! . Thanks for stopping by!
Still believe the one for me is out there,I have been looking everywhere " well almost"........
I would like to find my "Partner in crime"
Getting outdoors and enjoying the sunshine is #1 in my book. San Felipe Mexico and Squaw Valley are two good choices for me, Getting out and seeing new things is what life is all about in my book.
I took the Dr Phil personality test and this what the good Doctor says about me:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing,
practical, and always interesting, They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding,
someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.
I suppose this is a pretty close discription, well, maybe a little misunderstood Too!!!!
Animals and baby's make me smile the most. Nothing is more precious in life than innoncence!
I personably love to be challenged intellectually. .Mindless talk for the sake of talking seems like time that would be better spent thinking, contemplating, planning, praying or dreaming!!
I have 3 beautiful neices in Lakeside and have a hard time going beyond a week without seeing them. Most of my extended family is in the San Diego area,. I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area /Northern California for many years and most of my close friends are still there. I try to get up there as often as possible, as well as down to San Felipe Mexico where my parents reside. I was living in the Palm Springs Area recently and rally enjoyed it! Very different lifestyle.
I am looking for a woman who wants to be my best friend............................................
