a bit shy. Although you might not think that. I read a lot, but not always important stuff. I do have an unusual job,but can be interesting. Some times their is more risk involved. Ideal match,someone
with a sense of humor. Makes you smile and laugh.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Closest friends and family might describe me as active, independent, engaging, upbeat and thoughtful. They might also share some shortcomings. Not seeing much of that in this forum - so I won't `go there'. Could be described as witty as I often (maybee too often) search the lighter side of most everything.
I play golf frequently, enjoy working in my garden and `take on' a number of home projects. Cooking is my greatest domestic interest. I am fascinated by everything from current political and social topics to American history, science and pop culture.
Travel has been a passion and important recreation throughout my entire life. Likely, the most valuable part of my education.
I was divorced some 15 years back. My children were with me at least 1/2 the time following separation and returned after college (periodically) to live with me . In their late twenties today, they have careers and live in San Francisco. They have been the most meaningful gifts in my life. I also value and maintain the long-time and close friendships enjoyed since high school.
Searching to find a match that is presently happy with their life yet looking to share a future with someone of similar values, interests and outlook . Hoping my match might be open-minded, have a sense of humor and be a thoughtful person .

Date a man from California, United States. I am an active and outgoing person who believes life is not a spectator sport but requires full involvement and should be enjoyed to the fullest. I am looking for someone who can run off to the mountains or beach or lake anytime and/or find fun in just being outdoors with nature. Someone who enjoys not only a fine night on the town or attending a concert or play but can find fun in the simple things in life, like cooking dinner together or enjoying a glass of wine while watching a movie, reading a book or cuddling together by the fire talking and just enjoying each others company.
Being content and happy with yourself is must. I'm the eternal optimist, the glass is half full person and I see the good in everything.
Everyday is a gift and an adventure into the unknown. You never know what is going to happen or how it is going to turn out, but we should squeeze all of the life out it that we can.

Through various relationships from the past I have learnt that beyond the initial excitement of any new relationship, respect, integritytrust, understanding and compromise are basic ingredients of any successful long term relationship.

The accomplishments I am most proud of are that I raised children and my academic achievements. I am also grateful that I was afforded the opportunity to do both successfully.

Meet single man from California, United States. ONLINE DATING is a sociological phenomenon that MUST have been dreamt up in the GARDEN OF EDEN by none other than EVE herself. And yes, she DID actually have an APPLE (and yes, it WAS a Macintosh). But she had a lot easier time than most of you gals today, GOD made sure of that. Every single photo on her search engine came up with ADAM! Now...since you really DON'T know ME from Adam, here are a few helpful CLUES:
Independent - Inventive - Inspiring - Insatiably curious - Indefatigable - Impromptu - Incorrigible - Irresistible - In-sync with life.
I am currently writing a FARCICAL FUTURISTIC FABLE about a (bleep)-ed up society in which the letter 'F' has been outlawed from use. It has been deleted from the English language completely. Working title: "THE NO 'F'-WORD NOVEL". My intent with the novel is to entertain, but at the same time to focus and shed light on HOW we use (abuse) English in our daily life. It is also an attempt to stem the tide of vulgarity and profanity that is so prominant in our society. Otherwise we as a nation/culture will continue to sink lower and lower into the 'proverbial' abyss --- and THEN what? Will there be no more 'F'-words? (Foolish folks). Here are some that I like (FAVOR) very much:
Flavorful finger-food,
French fries,
fritatas,
fresh figs,
falafel,
fragrant flowers,
fuschia,
ferris-wheels,
forests,
fjords,
Fords (I sell them) e.g. Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, Flex, F-150.
Furthermore . . .
flying on freeways,
a full moon,
a fireplace,
feminine, full-figured females,
foreplay forever.
Feel free to fire away with a formal email, or for far faster, favorable response, forward your fone digits!

Famous 'fall fact' from Finland: Five Finnish fencing finalists freakishly fell fourteen feet Friday from famous frozen fountain 'Freytag Fooseberg', fracturing fingers, femurs, feet...few fainting from frostbite.

Finally, from France: Freedom for former Frankenstein fingerprint forger Feebee Fresonnart. Fresonnart's father feels faking's foolish, fit for feeble-minded freeloaders.

Fast forward to finding fun!
FINISHED - - - FIN.

Date a soulmate from United States. I'm an easy going guy looking for the same in a woman. No drama. I bring none, please have none. I love kids and grandkids. I have a couple of each. I surf, ride bikes (Harley) and I love my horse. You must love horses.

Meet someone special from United States. i live an adventurous life in the mountains, deserts, air, and oceans, but can be happy with a good book and a glass of wine, or watching sunsets at sea. I do not enjoy the popular team sports. I do enjoy nature awareness and tracking and bird watching. I have sailed all along the west coast and Caribbean and around Florida and the Bahamas in both small and big boats. I have been a pioneering participant in rock and ice climbing,skiing, sky diving, sailing, and SCUBA diving in many parts of the world.
A common thread throughout my life has been searching to understand the relationship between the spiritual and physical worlds; but am no longer involved with any formal religious practices. I hesitate to use the term Spiritual, because the term is commonly so badly misunderstood and carries so much strange baggage. I use the term only to introduce the subject, not to define it. I have participated in laboratory studies of intelligence and neurophysiology; but my real laboratory for understanding these subjects has been wilderness adventure sports and nature awareness. I still enjoy using the skills of these sports, but have slowed down and generally maintain a comfortable safety margin.
I believe in reverence for all life. I do not believe the animal kingdom to be inferior to the human race. And I do not believe there is a major distinction between plants and animals in regards to spiritual awareness. I find that all living things respond very well to being treated as people. I am very concerned by the way our economic agricultural, industrial, military, social political system is being managed.
I believe our species designation as Homo Sapiens is incorrect, because we really don't know much. A more honest designation would be Homo Hubris. We have much to learn...
A common thread in my professional career has been pioneering in designing and building frameworks for managing complex systems, ranging from modeling natural environments to software for managing the International Space Station. I teach university classes on designing and developing virtual worlds for systems thinking; and other classes on nature awareness.
I have many wonderful friends around the world. I am searching for a companion in the conversation of learning.

Date a man from United States. I am a loving,kind,hardworking,loyal,honest,sweet,underst
anding,caring and am God fearing man..i do know how how to treat a woman like a princess and i will always be there for her for better for worse...
I am looking for a loving,kind,caring,sweet,understanding,loyal,truth
ful,a woman who will love and cherish me and woman who will always be there for me...

Meet people from United States. I am passionate about life, but most people describe me as low key. I think of it as calm, lol...
I love living on this earth, and I seek a fit and healthy woman-person to share that life with.
It begins with exploring friendship. Endorphins take care of the first six months, but then we have a whole lifetime.
In a partner/lover/friend I am looking to share the good stuff. The things that make a wonderful relationship in my eyes are simple but vital. Respect and support ... caring and consideration.
To me, intimacy is a delicious gift. I love touch, snuggling, and physical closeness.
The universe gave us skin for a reason; and lips, too.
I am a hopeless romantic, in the good way. I like being in love, and for a long time.
I believe in exercising my body and mind, and challenging them as well. I read, study, and enjoy new experiences. I enjoy museums, exhibits and seminars. I hike, bike, and pretty much everything with an "S" in it. I love to dive and snorkel. I am a water puppy, no question. I run and lift weights regularly, mostly so I can keep doing what I love to do.
I do want someone athletic enough to share some of the outdoors with. I am an outdoor guy.
I’m an indoor guy too. and I want a friend, so that means shared interests, and open curious minds. It's not just about me; there is another person, and I support their life as well. I want to learn about you. I am emotionally connected, and still growing.
At this point, adults have complex lives. We don’t have to spend 24/7 together, but we should be glad to see each other. Healthy space, healthy togetherness. If the core of a relationship is good, the details iron out...
I eat healthy food and take care of myself because I want to enjoy life to the fullest. It's not a religion, but I would like a partner who cares.
Note: That does include red wine and dark chocolate. And occasional good hamburgers. And, ok, quality pizza. (Healthy food gives us room to play;)
I'm a good cook, and I make my pancakes from scratch!
And yes, I relax well.
I like traveling, and am looking forward to new places. I consider the Southwest my backyard, and I spend time in the Sierras every year.
I've had a rich career; everything from firefighting to an artist.
(and, a certified massage therapist...)
Life has given me a lot, and I believe in paying it forward. As an elder in our society, I mentor, counsel, and teach. I love the human race, and I can't get enough of 'em.
I am a calm, passionate, masculine man, and I seek that woman who flows with me.
I appreciate the courage it takes to contact another, and even if we're not a match, thank you for looking.
My apologies to the people who tried to contact me thru the not really free chemistry weekend.

Date men and women from United States. Describe myself?....Now that can be scary!........I'm 6'1" and about 210..........
would like to be about 197 but that's been a work in progress for quiet a while now. I live in Canoga Park and have for about 20 years now and in the Valley forever. I own a moving and storage company with my Nephew and am
able to do most of my work from home (which I love). I take pride in trying to stay in shape by swimming and lifting weights at my local gym (since I work at home I can sneak away and do my workout mid day when it's not so crowded)
I try to find the humor in most every situation and try not to take life or myself too seriously but am ultimately very responsible. My perfect match?....Well I'm
not looking for perfection but probably just an attractive lady who takes pride
in her appearance and good health and most importantly somebody who will laugh at my bad jokes! Really I'm pretty easy, I just want to find a lady that gets me and I her. I want to find someone who is so comfortable in my arms that I feel like I never want to let her go......everytime we embrace! I've been acused of being a bit of a romantic. And I think that's a good thing!

Meet single man from United States. Quick update! I am moving to Orange County Sept 1
I am ready to explore a new relationship, starting with a friendship to do some simple activities, walking the beach, catching a movie or play
For you that are into Myers-Briggs I am and ENFJ for those of you into astrology I am a Libra with Cancer rising. (My astrology guru friend told me it was important to put that in :) For those of you that don’t care one way or another about Myers-Briggs or astrology allow me to describe myself!
I am an extrovert that gets my energy from being around people. Family and friends are very important to me and I make new friends easily.
I am intuitive about people and my partner. I am sympathetic towards others and try to help whenever possible.
I bring a sense of peace to those around me and I have learned life’s most valuable lesson to have true peace in your life and heart. That lesson is to forgive and at the same time not be taken again!
I am an attentive mate. I enjoy public displays of attention but in good taste. You will feel and know that you are loved always.
While I will take time to research a problem or life situation, once I have made a decision it is done and I go for it wholeheartedly. I am a hardworking, generous man who sets others at ease. I have eclectic tastes, and manners matter to me. I am usually a diplomat, as well as a hopeless romantic who is fond of giving flowers and surprises to my love. I am sensitive enough to occasionally cry in movies (though I’ll deny it if asked!), and am equally comfortable in a crowd or alone with the one I love.
What I do is less important to me than who I’m with, and I can have fun doing almost anything. I enjoy SCUBA diving, skiing, dancing, biking, catching a wave and travel. Although I’m far from being a couch potato, I also enjoy an evening at home in front of a fire cuddled up with my love.
I was born in Glendale CA my family move me to Massachusetts when I was 7. After about a week I asked when we were going home and my mother said, “Dear you are home” I retorted “no I am not!” I came back to San Diego for 4 years after graduate school then back to the East Coast for a job. As a result I have East Coast values but a West Coast sense of freedom and love the outdoor life. I came back to start up a new business in 2010 and am now looking to find a good friend to share some quality time with.
What am I looking for in my lady? An easy sense of humor, loyalty, and open mindedness. I also desire a woman that likes to explore life and wants to share the adventure with a kindred spirit. I make a loyal friend, am not afraid of commitment and will do just about anything as long as it is legal! I am fun and interesting to be with and seek the same in my mate.
Physically, I’m attracted to feminine women with well proportioned figures, in the normal BMI range for their height with sparkling eyes. I trend towards women that are classy but not overdone. Being a great kisser is also a plus!
Working out regularly and eating a healthy diet keeps me looking and feeling younger than my chronological age, and my ideal partner is fit and health conscious too.
Is this you? If so I look forward to meeting you!
PS
Re: Drinking, I grew up without alcohol and although I did drink socially in my 40s and into my 50s, because I had to entertain for work, I find I do not enjoy it and sleep better with out it so I just stopped it a year ago.
Re: Cats. I am very allergic to cats. I love dogs but have allergies to some long haired dogs.
PPS Integrity first! I have been contacted by many women who have not listed their real age some 10-15 years older. If you have not listed your real age how will I know the rest is not made up? Please move along.
