Date men and women from United States / California / Aliso Viejo, 40 year old

Date single man from California, United States. Greetings!
I had a very lengthy bio written, however, I ultimately decided that it was just too much. Here is the short form:
For starters, I am pretty easy-going. I love music, movies, most sports (except American Football), good food/restaurants, red wine . . . the list goes on and on, oh and I ride cross-country (what you would call a mountain bike) as much as possible. I enjoy trying new things, discovering new places, and last minute trips to wherever. I dislike pollution, flakiness, lowbrow humor, spaghetti and pork chops (long story.)
I do own a passport, but surprisingly have had a difficult time finding anyone to go and get it stamped with. My parents are still happily married after 45 years, and I am rather close with my (vast) extended family also. I am a gentleman first and foremost, and I am not easily distracted. I am a self-employed IT consultant (emphasis on the "employed" part) and I try not to let work interfere with my personal life. Born and raised in the Midwest, I moved to CA in 2001.
I just cut my hair, so it is not as long as in these photos, but all photos are within a year.If you are so inclined, there is more (much more) than this - just send me an email if you are interested.
Cheers!
P.S. Honesty | Virtue | Reliability - these are a few of my favorite things

Meet someone special from California, United States. I'm hard working, yet laid back. Able to make plans, yet go with the flow. Kick back on the beach one minute, then mingle at a black tie fund raiser the next. I enjoy the outdoors, and spent a couple of years sailing in the South Pacific with my father when I was younger. I've also travelled throughout the Pacific Rim and would like to go back to many of the places I've been, as well as go experience new places and cultures. Some activities I enjoy besides anything having to do with the ocean are hiking, snow skiing, biking, off-roading, or just taking a walk. I paddle outrigger canoes, and am getting back into racing them. I also like to read, go to movies, and find a nice spot and talk story. I have many great stories to share. I used to perform at a community theater in Irvine. I'm not in to the bar/club scene. I like watching football and ice hockey, going to museums, Disneyland, concerts, and trying new things. And there's so much more..... find me by my nickname at cox.net.....
I've also gotten back into working out. I swim, Crossfit, and do Bikram yoga. Getting back in to competitive shape for outrigger canoes!

Date men and women from California, United States. OK, I have heard some successful stories, so here I am, giving this a chance.
I am an Architect and I have been on my own since I was 17 y.o. and have traveled the world, so I have a lot of stories to tell :)
I am family oriented (that's my Italian heritage speaking out) even though I have no family here in the U.S. I migrated here at young age and I consider myself a citizen of the world. I can live anywhere as long as I have a decent job and friends around. Your home is where you heart is.
Yes, I am bilingual and since my native language is Spanish and I can pick up the other Latin languages very easily. Portuguese, Italian, etc
I don't feel comfortable describing myself, so a friend suggested to write what my friends are saying about me (that I know of, God knows what happens when I step out of the room....hahaha)
They say that I am fun, charming and easy to hang out with and that I make them laugh all the time ( I keep telling them that is the alcohol in them, not me, but they never listen...hahaha).
I try to have a good outlook in life, we are here for a short time, why not enjoy it to the fullest.? right?
I don't believe in astrology but when some asks me what my sign is, I always respond "positive, always positive"
Anyways, this is simple, why do we make it so hard? we talk over the phone, we meet, see if we click and we move on with our lives.
No lies, no games, no drama. I will be honest with you and I'll expect the same from you.
Well, who is up for the adventure? :)
come on...raise your hand..come on! don't be shy :)

Meet people from California, United States. I strongly believe that many types of people can match and it is necessary to meet in person to determine whether or not they are compatible. Sometimes you meet someone, something clicks and suddenly your image of your ideal match changes. Can I just say I am great and everyone likes me?
As for my ideal match....I am interested in meeting people and figuring out in person if there is chemistry or even possible friendship. I prefer to meet without any expectations and see how it goes.
