Date men and women from California, United States. I'm coming out of a pretty rough spot in my life, making the changes I need to. I'm not looking for anything too serious at present, but a friend to spend time with, hanging out, movies, art, normal stuff would be awesome, I do love some romance as well.
About me: I'm a creative type, but very technical too. I'm not one of those people with HUGE amounts of energy that has to be doing something all of the time; I like to have some down time, too. I'm pretty laid-back, easy going and sensible. I love being outdoors, especially in the mountains, but I love the water as well.
It seems as though everyone I see here is into skiing. Well, I'm sorry to say that I'm not. I've tried it, but I'm just too clumsy or uncoordinated or something that I just end up hurting myself...but yet I LOVE being up in the snow! Not even thinking about boarding! I love being on the water, but I can't swim. Again, the coordination thing; it just doesn't work for me. That being said, I am a certified scuba diver (don't ask).
My sense of humor is a bit different than most I think, but I can be VERY sarcastic and I do love to laugh. I really like to laugh with others who love to laugh. I have three college degrees, one in art, one in aeronautical science and an MBA. I work in aerospace as a Training Specialist/Manager.
I love coffee shops, art galleries, antique shops and strolling around town, and of course the beach.
I love movies and popcorn, picnics just about anywhere and spur of the moment weekend getaways! But I've NEVER been to Vegas...
Meet single man from California, United States. Fun, loving, caring, laughing, grateful. Looking for someone with the same qualities who wants to enjoy life with no drama, please. Love to entertain, exercise, movies, cooking and more.... I am originally from the East Coast in New England, actually Rhode Island to be specisic. I have been in California for over 20 years. I am head of a small cap public oil and gas company and make my own hours. I just moved to Naples/Belmont Shore area of Long Beach. I am very well educated and went to Ivy League college and have an MBA in Finance. I exercise 5-7 days a week and am in very good shape (at one time I was a good athlete, but that time has passed! hehe ;-) ). I have three children in college, and I love them very much. I know who I am and am comfortable with that person. I am a good person with a good heart. I also volunteer to help other people. God is important to me, and it's not about religion but rather spirituality, although I do subscribe to Christian beliefs. I am a happy person and life is good: i enjoy travel, bike riding, helping others, reading good books, movies, love cooking, and more....I am not perfect and know that no one is-- I am forgiving and look for the same in others. I am looking for a companion to enjoy life with, have fun, laugh and share new memories.
Date someone special from California, United States. I appreciate being able to live in this great county and to have the freedom to be whom I am. I am self made and proud of my success and efforts. I would like to meet a kind woman with a big heart and lots of love to give.
Meet a soulmate from Belmont Shore, United States. By the way, don't let the age fool you. I'm more athletic, active and sexual than many men in their 30's...If you're looking for someone who is active, open-minded, adventurous, sensual/sexual, young and vibrant, you're looking for me. All I ask is that you have those qualities too. Physically, I'm attracted to pretty eyes, a nice smile and a round butt...yes, I like a woman with back. If you are looking for someone who can converse with anyone about anything, has a clever, sometimes dark sense of humor, is fun and playful, we may be a match. I'm originally from the Midwest, and value honesty and integrity.
I'm probably not a good match for someone who is hung up on race, is far right or far left politically, or who is real religious and doesn't believe in things like evolution. If you're not adventurous and don't like trying new things, within reason, we won't be a match.
Sorry, but generally I won't reply if you don't have a pic or live outside the So Cal area.
For those who reach out, thank you very much for the winks and e-mails. If I don't respond it's because I don't think we're a match.
Best of luck in your search. Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you if you really think we're a match.

Meet someone special from Belmont Shore, United States. Born and reared - and back "home" - in Long Beach/Belmont Shore, one of the great towns in the world - the Bay, the Marinas, the parks, 2nd Street, the Pacific, the BEACH (it's long!) - located in one of the great areas of the world. Let's make plans to meet - so much to do together!
My favorite relationship-flavored quote:
"Someday, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides, and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of Love. Then, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire." ~Pierre Tielhard de Chardin
Like you, I seek friendship, companionship, loyalty, partnership - in a word, Togetherness.
You are healthy and fit (please note - I believe that, with the exception of injury/illness, a person's health/fitness level is a reflection of how s/he values her/himself), enjoys/seeks being in love (er, with ME), you like travel, and you're content doing things "out" or just staying home indulging each other. We are wanting to settle down (but unwilling to settle) with the love of our life - just the two of us, together forevermore - and exit the single life. btw - I love kids - I'll welcome yours as part of a "package deal" - and believe that kids are much better off in a home where love is found in abundance. How will they learn to love appropriately if they don't have that model to observe, day-in and day-out?
In the relationship we seek, we'll be "standing guard over each other's vulnerabilities." In the vernacular, we'll "have each other's back." No matter where we are, no matter what we're doing, the fact that we're together means we're happy, safe, secure in each others' love.
I love my kids and grandies, and enjoy frequent contact. I like travel, restaurants, shows, sports, and just hangin' at home. I work out - usually 6x/week - but am not a gym rat. I eat as close to the ground as possible. I am rarely sick. I weigh about 190. I am fit and trim (i.e., NO "muffin top," no beer-belly - I can see my shoes, and my shoes can see me). ;-)
I'm happy to answer all queries. All you have to do is ask. Please have recent photos of you (up close and personal). Group shots are the online version of "Where's Waldo?" (or Waldette!) And please save your favorite pet/scenery/vacation/floral/home deco photos for when we know each other better. I think I speak for most when i say I only need - at this point - to see photos of YOU. ;-)
My new favorite inspirational quote:
"In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer." ~Albert Camus
My "Drink: Never" answer seems to be off-putting to some. No, I am not a recovering alcoholic, nor is there alcoholism in my family. I drank quite enthusiastically from age 17-22. ;-) Then I was done. I just don't like the stuff. Will I go to a wine tasting with you? Sure! The process, the history, the culture are interesting to me. Do I mind if you drink? No, if you don't drink to excess (often) - and just think, you'll always have a designated driver. My focus on health excludes all toxins, of which alcohol is one. And as for the "health-benefit" of drinking wine, that's just the wine industry trying to separate you from your money. Purple grapes - which I eat daily - are just as good. Hope that helps....
Date someone special from California, United States. Why take life too seriously? After all, none of us makes it out alive! Enjoy the moment! That’s the way I roll! While I am honest, steadfast, and responsible, I try not to take anything – or even myself – too seriously. I don’t require that sort of stress in my life. No drama. No intensity. I prefer to roll with the steady flow of things as opposed to paddling like mad against them. I would definitely pair well with a like-minded woman.
Far from a high-roller, I prefer life’s simpler pleasures, from dinners out, to firing up the backyard grill, to a round of golf…it’s all good...even better when shared. While I hope to enjoy similar passions, pursuits, and interests with my partner, I am just as excited about the differences she will bring to the table that will serve to keep things interesting. I am open to new ideas, challenges and opportunities.
If you were to inquire of my friends, they would probably comment on my approachable disposition, my friendly nature, my calm demeanor, and my infectious sense of humor. Ask again, and they might claim to not even know who I am!
What I admire in a woman is one who takes good care of herself from the inside out and it shows. While she is not high-maintenance by any stroke of the imagination, she does enjoy looking and feeling good, always dressed for the occasion.
I appreciate a lady whose quick wit and curious intelligence allow her to engage in any number of dialogues, yet her fun and playful sense of humor is never far behind.
Bonus points go to the gal who enjoys exercising her culinary skills in the kitchen. As a partner, I am a very competent taste-tester.
Meet men and women from Belmont Shore, United States. I'm absolutely blessed with a GREAT life and every day I live with Gratitude; Integrity and Character are woven into every facet of my life; fairly sports inept, but willing to learn; I’m compassionate, caring, and generous; I give Great Hugs and am Romantic; it took me awhile, but I learned to slow down and just enjoy; healthy and in shape; smile and laugh easy; I'm emotionally and financially secure; really enjoy going to Church every Sunday and believe in God (but, I really don’t understand the whole “Religious Right” thing); surf often; and love the Tropics. Simply, I’m just a good guy.
I retired a few years ago and live a fairly “vagabond” life style in that I spend about an equal amount of time between my homes in a beautiful part of the Central California Coast (4 houses from the beach) and Costa Rica (100 yards to the beach). That makes it a bit tough to find a Woman that can, or that would be willing to join me. Although it’s a very blessed life, for the right Woman, I’d give it all up to join her in her life.
What I want in a Mate is for her to be “real” – in my book, that means that she has and continues to learn from her life lessons; she is comfortable in her own skin; she believes in God (whatever version she chooses); if she's feeling a bit anxious or unsure, she’ll know that I’ll still be by her side; she is kind to people; she knows how to laugh and have fun; if she has kids, she adores them, but understands that if you put them on a pedestal too much, that can mess them up; “Chemistry” would really be cool; that her idea of “Travel” is not going to Vegas for the weekend; and she’s open to cultural experiences.
I understand that many Women desire the security, wisdom, emotional stability, skill sets, financial stability, and life experiences of an older guy with the body and hairline of a 22 year old. Uhhhhh, it probably doesn’t exist, but it doesn’t hurt to ask (and dream). If you’re looking at only the superficial (“are we a stud”) with those of us who have some years on them, you might be missing out on that whole wish list (“Order-A-Man”) thing that many of you dream and write about.
I’m going to be spending a great deal of time in the next few months in So Cal, so I invite you to roll the dice by trying something different – both of our lives might change for the better.
I wish you the best in your search.
P.S.: As of 11 July, my adventure with Match is coming to a close - due to the Twilight Zon-i-ness of it all, I've decided not to renew. Thank you and I wish you the best in Life and Love. R
