Date men and women from United States / California / Brentwood, 43 year old

Date single man from Brentwood, United States. I've been on here 2x's, with a bit of trepidation--I'm sure I'm the only one :) --and have yet to go on a date ....('match' date that is). I love the idea of meeting someone who I already know is single and a few other tidbits about them (i.e., are you cute? a raging alcoholic? born again Christian? carnivore? ...canibal? etc. ...btw, even if you don't write it, I can tell from your pics and various profile tid bits ;)). And you have no idea how much better you have it on the female side of this site.
So, with my little bit of experience on Match, I've learned to keep it brief.....
Me:
- ridden a bull...a motorcycle...a jet ski...a horse...fast!
- written play, pilot and a poem...or two.
- cried during a Simpson's episode (ok, maybe just leaked a lil outta my right eye :)
- changed my name to Fonzie in the first grade (lasted a year, before my mom made me change it back....).
- thought a deep thought...felt a deep feeling...
- might NOT be the most interesting man in the world....but could play him in a beer commercial.
- farted in front of my girl friend's mom in the 8th grade (they still invite me over for Thanks Giving).
- interested in what make's people tick.
- do this a lot :) in emails and texts.
- graceful.
- I'm google-proof (thanks to my last name).
- honest, loyal, committed....think boy scout.
- care a lot about what goes into my body, mind.... and the ocean.
- will sacrifice myself for a laugh...if I must.
- never been beaten in arm-wrestling :)
- must hold hands if I like you....all the time (so hopefully you have 2).
- tba.
You:
- relate to some of the above....and have a profile with cool words like "compassion", "honesty", "healthy", "commitment", "loyal", "affectionate", "Maui", "funner"... ;)

Meet people from Brentwood, United States. I am generally open and honest, I do not mix words, and try to act with integrity. I always try to find the best in people and I see myself as honorable, and as a gentleman. I have been told that I am "evolved". I believe in opening doors, pulling out chairs, walking on the curb side of the street, and all those other little things which I think are very important to treating a lady Right. I want a relationship that works towards the individual goals of each person, to the benefit of the relationship. I am a great friend, and partner. I know how to listen, and I am very intuitive. I am an active and adventurous person, and I love to test my abilities and my resolve. I snow ski, backpack, Mtn and road bike, and SCUBA dive. I also teach spin. I enjoy travel, and live an active life. I have been told that my profiles shows as someone who is always on the go, which is not the case. I do like to stay active, but also enjoy taking some down time.I am looking for a lady who has that something special, and knows it. I would like her to be honest and act with good intentions, and high expectations. A love of the outdoors and new experiences, and an appreciation of all that the world has to be discovered is a big plus. I am attracted to women who are active, and who are comfortable about who they are and what they want. I hope to find someone who will enjoy with me a relationship that is also a friendship, one that is open to each others goals and desires, and successful in fulfilling them for mutual benefit. Although I have many hobbies, and stay active, I do not expect to find someone who wants to share in all of them. A willingness to try new things is something that brings growth to an individual's life experience, and can benefit a relationship. Share in my hobbies, and I will gladly share in yours! I am always open to trying new things, and sharing new experiences.

Date people from Brentwood, United States. I am the nice girl-next-door who also knows how to have fun and laugh. IРІР‚в„ўm intelligent, honest, reasonable, a good listener, and very thoughtful. IРІР‚в„ўve got a great family which IРІР‚в„ўm close to especially my twin sister (I'm the cute one!). My parents have one of the best relationships I've seen so I've had great role models. I have some amazing friends to spend my free time with but am looking for that special guy to spend time with as well. I have a job that I enjoy but doesnРІР‚в„ўt consume my life. The only thing missing is a great guy to spend my life with. I can be spontaneous and adventurous (I've skydived and been on a zip line in Costa Rica). I enjoy playing sports and being active and try to eat well and exercise. I love to travel and explore new places. Some of my recent travels have taken me to Italy, Belize, Australia and the Carribean but I'm always open to new places. I enjoy both getting dressed up for a night on the town or keeping it casual on the couch. It's more about the company than where we go. Being an accountant doesn't allow for much creativity so to allow myself to be creative, I've been taking classes and performing improv and having a blast! I also enjoy volunteering in the community. It's important to give back when you have been very blessed and it also gives you great perspective on your life.
I am looking for a nice guy thatРІР‚в„ўs not a pushover. I want a real, mature relationship, not a casual one so there is no need to contact me if you just want to keep it casual. The top qualities IРІР‚в„ўm looking for in a man are: nice, intelligent, honest, good sense of humor, moral values, supportive, thoughtful, good listener and communicator, financially responsible, and someone happy with himself. Bonus qualities but not requirements: good dancer, gives and receives massages upon request, romantic. Since family is very important to me, I want a man who also values family. In a relationship, I'm looking for a man who I can have fun with and talk to about anything.
I hope I peaked your interest. Give me a chance and we'll see...

Date men and women from Brentwood, United States. HI there :)
OK I'm not gonna lie this online stuff is way out of the box for me. I have been on my own for a little over a year now after being marrried for 23 years. I was a stay home mom for alot of those years. I did always have some sort of a part time job but my first priority was always my family. I spent more than 10 yrs as a preschool teacher until I decided to go in the direction of photography, I love taking pictures and worked at one of the funnest jobs I have ever had taking all the team sports photos for the bay area high schools.... I loved that job !!! The kids where great to work with. I have since had to make a carreer change to a more year round profession for a steady income. I still do photography though just not as my job. I am also ready to make some new changes in my personal life.
I am a casual girl, I do like to get dressed up but am most comfortable in my Jeans. I dont like to wear to much make up but I take pride in my apperance.I am very devoted, loyal and honest in all my realationships. I would love to meet someone who is open with their feelings and not afraid to show or expess them. That special someone should also be kind and considerate but above all HONEST. Having a positive out look on life is also something that is very important to me.
I'm a happy positive person, I don't do drama at all. I love to laugh with my friends and family. What makes me smile is seeing random sweet acts of kindness. I am so gratful for my friends and my family I have some of the best people in my life right now. I have 2 kids 22 and 16 and I am proud of the job I have done raising them. They are my biggest accomplishments. I would like to share the good things in my life and have someone share theirs with me,
I

In a match shell....silly at times, prefer a bath to a shower, walking over driving, naps, good architecture, jeans, flip flops, wine and non-fiction and vacations that are near a body of water. i exercise regularly, which include yoga classes that play music( to distract me from the pain) and circuit training. I am a huge animal lover and am often hiking the Santa Monica mountains with my dog, Baxter. I also ride horses whenever time allows. I am close with my Family but not in an everyday way, I am truly grateful for my friendships and happy to say many have been in my life since childhood.
I am looking for an someone interested in the long haul and laughing until you pee moments.' Integrity and genuine kindness are essential. If you're comfortable in your own skin, have a strong sense of self and aren't afraid to expose your flaws...I'll show you mine;)

Date someone special from United States. Even though I am an accountant, I am a mostly outgoing person. I like to get out and do things. I have been limited lately due to a bout of accident prone-ness, but am looking forward to getting back outside for some hiking. When not on crutches, I like golf (although what I do can't actually be called "playing golf"), hiking, walking SF or Monterey, or anything else that requires being outdoors when it is warm. I often make up my own words and am a bit of a smartass. I don't take life too seriously and tend to make fun of those who do.

Meet people from United States. I am a fairly easy going person that enjoys spending time outdoors. After many years of working my way through my undergraduate and MBA degree while commuting to work, I realized that work had taken over my life and I did not have time to enjoy life. I then made change in career direction and now work from home, which provides me time to pursue my hobbies and interests: hiking, working out, photography, working in my yard, trips to the beach, walks with my dogs, visiting with friends, barbequing, traveling and lots of other activities. I also enjoy spending a quiet night at home watching a good movie with someone special. IРІР‚в„ўm currently taking diving classes and working on getting my open water diver certification.
I think itРІР‚в„ўs important to have fun and find the humor in things. My friends would describe me as active, having a great sense of humor, a fantastic cook, generous, kind and full of life. Most people that donРІР‚в„ўt know me think that I am quiet until they get to know me and then realize that I am actually quite outgoing.
IРІР‚в„ўm looking for someone that shares my interests and enjoys traveling and doing things together. Ultimately, I would like to find that special someone to share my life with. This person must have a great sense of humor, be mature and looking for a committed relationship. If you think youРІР‚в„ўre that person, please email me so we can get to know each other better.

Date a woman from United States. I'm originally from the East Coast (New York, Boston) but after moving to Southern California 5 years ago for work, I can't imagine living any where else. I love being outdoors - beach, mountains, desert, rainforest and enjoy all kinds of sports. I played soccer and swam competitively in college and then took up marathon running about 15 years ago after seeing my first Boston Marathon. More recently, I started doing ultra trail running (30-65 mile races) which is a great way to see some amazing scenery and cover a lot of ground in one day! As far as my day job, I started my professional career in sports marketing working on the 1994 World Cup Soccer Games and then the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. After business school, I went into the health, fitness and nutrition industry and recently accepted a great new position with a leading nutritional supplement company. Looking to meet new people so feel free to drop me a line!

Meet men and women from United States. Hmmmm...online dating! What's there not to like, winks? Junk mails? All members are toned and slim...waaaa.
I asked God, why am I not winning a Lottery? He replied...buy one. So I joined Match.com to try to win a Lottery. Since I am optimistic then lets say, the odds are very slim but the winning is very rewarding so I will give it a try. I keep it short since you have so many profiles to read:

I would like to meet a quality gentleman, who is successful, with a great character, sophisticated, worldly, fit and fun...someone with no entangling alliances. I would love to meet you if you have the similar interest. If I don't then I patiently wait since I don't want to settle for less.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. It is like this, when I walk down the street, the girls think I'm egotistic and the boys think I am "HOT". Well, I am neither. I like to think of myself as a women who exudes confidence and out going. I enjoy the simple things in life and will never take anything for granted. When I am not working I enjoy lifting weights, swimming, cooking, camping, dinning out, wine tasting, or just laying out by the pool. Consequently, if I see a big juicy bacon cheese burger with sauce dripping down the side. I am going to eat it. I will not regret eating it a bit because I am going to get myself to the gym and burn it all off. I hope you like eating out and enjoy working out too.
I believe in myself and I am confident in my own skin. Family is my #1 priority. I love a big family especially when you join me in the kitchen cooking for everyone. I like to laugh and act silly, sometime I even laugh at my own joke. Don't worry it's not one of the annoying laugh. Sometimes no one laughs at my joke but I still think it's funny.
My idea of a romantic evening is nice quiet dinner and a walk along the beach. I delight in soaking in a bubble bath in the presence of candle light and a glass of wine. when I have time.
A procrastinator I am not and punctuality is my middle name. Well, okay I am not THAT rigid but I like to be on time. I am a hard worker and a go getter. A doer not a dreamer...
About The One I'm Looking For: I'm looking for a friend with whom I can share the same interest and have great conversation with. If you enjoy lifting weights, golfing, boating and being out doors then i'm already melting. I want that friendship to grow into a lifelong partnership. A partner with whom I can trust, respect, and confide in. I am looking someone who is going to care for me as I will care for him. I want my MAN to be confident yet humble and that he is not married to his work. I don't mind if you cannot cook, because I like to cook but I do require that you pick up after yourself . I would love to have a man who is handy around the house. I want someone who is mature and has direction in life.
