Date single man from Cerritos, United States. I would like to say I am Passionate, Competitive, Never Give Up, Crazy Sense of Humor, and Goal Driven. I could go on but that is my best description of me. I love small details in things especially the imperfection in women. Something about those little things gets me all the time. Sometimes it can be as simple as the way she eats, sleeps, burps, walks or stares in curiosity. My friends would say that I am a little random or offbeat but I would say, I can only be myself because it is too hard being someone else. I love a good laugh and outdoor events but I can also have a Netflix night too. As far as the woman that I am looking for, I am not sure. The women that I date or find attractive have some unusual thing they do to make them stand out, well at least to me :)
Meet single man from California, United States. It's sometimes hard to describe oneself, but I would say that I am definitely ambitious, open minded, easy going and down to earth. If you polled my friends they would more than likely describe me in a similar manner. They would probably add in funny, love to laugh and love to eat. I like to travel, am active and am always on the lookout for new and fun experiences.
My guiding philosophy is to work hard and play hard. Both of which I strive to do daily.
I'm looking for a woman with similar qualities as myself - someone with a great sense of humor (not easily offended by a buddy's sense of humor), enjoys traveling, is compassionate and independent. . I want someone who can carry a conversation, is intelligent and comfortable hanging out in our sweats, watching movies & eating take-out just as much as she enjoys a night out.
Date a man from California, United States. I am an active individual that enjoys the nicer things in life, whether it be a nice dinner at a 5 star restaurant or taking off to an exotic place for a mini vacation. Life is too short to worry about the little things in life. Basically, I try to live life to the fullest. I am looking for someone that enjoys traveling, trying out new restaurants, taking weekend getaways. Qualities I truly admire in a woman would be intelligence, sense of humor, someone easy-going, and last but not least sex appeal. Lets chat soon. =)
Meet people from Cerritos, United States. I'm a down to earth kind of guy with strong integrity and loyalty. I value friendship and surround myself with people who appreciate relationships built on the foundation of trust. I also value my time as it is one of the most precious things on earth that can never be regained. However, I'm known for my selfless acts of kindness and generosity when it comes to helping others in need. I'm looking for someone who understands the deep meaning of charity and humanity.
I've always been fascinated in the duality of life from its simplicity to its complexity. This interest has established into a constant curiosity within me to learn and seek a greater understanding in various subject matters. Thus, I tend to be more open-minded and look for others who want to broaden their horizons.
A good sense of humor is a must in my book. I'm the kind of person who will spontaneously blurt out a witty response at unexpected or odd occasions. I believe that laughter has a remarkable healing power. I try to make others feel happy when they're around me. I have a strong will power and a high pain threshold, so I don't mind making fun of myself or of my shortcomings.
I'm looking for someone who appreciates the simple things in life. Someone who understands that you can't be idle and let time slip away. Someone who seizes every moment of every day to make living worthwhile. Eventually, it's coming to the realization that it's not what you have or where you go or how you get there...it's who you're with. Don't you agree?
Date a man from Cerritos, United States. I had a checklist, resume, pro's and con's, whatever you want to call it up here during my last two subscription periods. Let's face it, you only stopped by because of the photo. If you are really interested in knowing what makes up the man behind the pictures you should contact me. So for all of you "women seeking men" I hope to hear from you...
May 2012 Update...I got the full beard going now!
Get out there and interact people!!
Meet a man from Cerritos, United States. First off, I am deeply skeptical about dating profiles and the attempt to explain what one is looking for or who one is. I believe that most of the time. we are attracted to people and we don`t know why and it doesn`t fit any checklist or adhere to the results yielded by any questionaire. that being said. here goes i hope to attract someone who will make me laugh. I want to be with someone who enjoys being alive and doesn`t sweat the small stuff. Let`s be grateful and not take anything = especially ourselves=too seriously. at the same time, i want to be with someone who looks beyond all the superficial BS that we are constanlly bombarded with in the media,etc I would love to be with someone who can teach me things without being pedantic. I value both hummility and confidence. I admire people who stick up for what is right and who are not afraid to go out of their way to be kind or helpful to others. intimcy turns me on: the kind when we listen to each other and are truly curious to find out more.
Date someone special from California, United States. These are a few quotes that I find self defining in some way:
"If A Man Does NOT keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." - Henry David Thoreau
"When the Power of Love Overcomes the Love of Power, The world will Know Peace" - Jimi Hendrix
"Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but manifestations of strength and resolution." - Kahlil Gibran
"One who achieves victory over others is Strong, One who achieves victory over Himself is Mighty" - Chinese Proverb
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." - Plato
So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable. - Christopher Reeve
"I expect to pass through life but once. If, therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again." - William Penn
Raised in the Pasadena/Glendale area. Back in L.A. after close to 14 years in NYC , still going back whenever i can...I Love Both the Left and Right Coasts...Maybe you can help motivate me in finally deciding which I love more. I'm slightly off center, Free Spirited, Intuitive, Introspective, Compassionate, Passionate, Sometimes a little bit Mischievous, Occasionally Very Naughty, Very much Outside the box I rarely conform if ever. Mortgage Broker, Writer/Poet, Martial Artist training competing in Karate (Primarily since 1979) Kickboxing, also studying Tai Chi Judo...My Greatest Passion is the teaching aspect, especially when it comes to empowering kids with my unique teaching style.
What am I looking for? Ideal Person? I don't build boxes then try to fit things that don't conform. It limits possibilities and isn't very fun. Then again a few constraints never hurt. If you're a cruel, chain smoking, narcissist with an untreated paranoid schizophrenic bi-polar multiple personality disorder or just plain mean, I'll probably run the other way...really fast. .Other than that, I'm pretty open, depending on our connection chemistry.
These are two of my poems that reflect my philosophy on life:
SEEDS -
Within the Darkest Depths Of Human Tragedy
Are Planted the Seeds For All Of Humanity
Through the mass of Tears
Through the Cries Of Pain
Shall We Overcome our Fears
Shall We Comfort With A Strength
Of Compassion that Can Never Wane
Within The Darkest Depths Of Human Tragedy
Lie the Seeds For All Of Humanity
As We Overturn Every Inch Of Rubble
As We Eliminate the Tiniest Pebble
Shall We Answer The Call Of Those In Trouble
Shall We Protect those Young, Old and Feeble
Within The Darkest Depths Of Human Tragedy
Grow the Seeds For All Of Humanity
Conquering all Suffering Through Perseverance
Measured by acts of Kindness
Shall We Defeat the Worst form of Evil In Reverence
Against Ignorance Borne of Selective Blindness
From The Darkest Depths Of Human Tragedy
With Seeds of Love Shall Thrive All Of Humanity
-------
ORPHAN: The Forgotten Child
Sadly It Has been Forebode
That Love Shall be an Albatross
That Cannot Be Found upon any Road
That This Child Shall Cross
Clipped are the Wings of Hope
Severed With Heartless Shears
Innocent and Pure This Child Is Lost
Solely to Face the World?s Many Fears
Forgotten and Alone
Discarded Yet Without Sin
For This We have much to Atone
To US ALL This Forgotten Child is Our Kin
- AMAN IKRAM
Meet a soulmate from United States. ...I’ve spent the last 20 years raising my son. Now that he is off starting his own life, this would be a good time for me to re-start mine. I have dated on and off, here and there, but nothing to serious. My focus has always been for him. I’m a very dedicated person. I’m stable; I’ve been at my job for over twenty years now. I’m very affectionate, I love holding hands, hugging and kissing. I grew up in a family of huggers and kissers. I’m laid back and easy going. I am very passionate.
When I was younger I played guitar professionally for some studios here in L.A. I've also played in bands that have played all over L.A. and Hollywood. Music is my real passion and I still write and record in my studio in my house. I also love to play golf.
Now that my son is off following in his dads footsteps, yes, playing in a touring band.
I’d really like to find someone to spend some time with and develop a lasting relationship with... try new things and do things I haven't done in awhile.
I would love to find someone who can dress up as well as dress down, can handle spur of the moment changes gracefully, has a great sense of humor or at least understands mine…I’m very witty and somewhat a little sarcastic and of course self deprecating…at least I think so. I love a woman who can rock the jeans and t-shirt. Most of the time, I’m very casual, but like to dress up every now and then.
Chemistry is very important, so let’s make contact or meet for coffee or drinks and see what happens!
Date people from Cerritos, United States. I'm quiet, intelligent, and enjoy learning about nearly anything. I run, lift weights, and study daily (hopefully for the rest of my life). My sense of humor runs towards sarcasm but it is always good natured and is directed more towards life's ironies and paradoxes. I value openness, sincerity, respect, and affection in my relationships. I work at being up front and honest with my feelings and expectations. To not alter my behavior when I'm upset in the expectation that my partner is going to intuitively know what is going on. I appreciate brutally honest communication. Not brutal as in being insensitive towards another, but in making oneself vulnerable by being completely honest.
I met my ex on match and will not join again for arbitrary reasons ;-) So emailing and winking serves no purpose other than testing my resolve to remain a nonmember. Perhaps jeff could be found using his user name on a different site.
All my pictures are within a 5 year time frame leaning heavily towards 3 and 5 years ago when I was in relationships and pictures of me were taken. More recent pictures are marked as such as it seems I’m now aging in dog years after passing the 45 years of age landmark. Muscle mass, strength, running speed, and hairline are all declining rapidly ;-) None of the recent pictures are particularly flattering but I thought if I posted bad pictures then you’d be pleasantly surprised when or if we meet. Of course it could also mean that there are no remaining angles, lighting, clothing, or lack thereof, possible to portray me favorably ;-)
As this is an election year I should mention that I enjoy conversations on politics and religion with those who have thought through their positions. Rather than parroting second hand opinions without thought, consideration, and study of their own. Those who are considerate of opposing viewpoints, willing to listen and respond in an intelligent and thoughtful manner. It would be even better discussing aforementioned topics with those who understand and can apply the rules of logic and understand fallacious arguments. I should also mention that any Tea party members, Republicans, or those who think their listening to news on Fox “news” are probably going to be a poor match for myself. I actually was a Republican before taking quite a few classes in political science, economics, and learning to think for myself. I should also point out I have little love for the Democratic Party or politicians in general. But I’m amazed that I can still be amazed by the Tea Party’s lack of knowledge of fundamental economics. The republican’s denial of truth in science and history (both past and present history) and that Fox news has twice the viewership of its closest competitor. I’m beginning to think the Mayan’s could be right ;-) at least for America. Unfortunately this last paragraph is going to eliminate a large portion of the women in OC ;-) But truth be told I’m using Match just to look at my daily matches while I try to wake up with a cup of coffee before heading out for a run. If something comes from it… great. My experiences while a member however were not positive enough to continue trying as it seems Men do not have sole bragging rights on duplicity ;-)
Meet single man from California, United States. Looking for Love, Loyalty, and Passion?
I am a single guy who is passionate about love and life.
I would say I love long walks on the beach, but who doesn't?
How about a kiss you can feel all the way to your toes?
I am divorced, but do not have any of the drama that might go with it.
YOU are single, not married, or trying to get back at your boyfriend.
Are Woman enough for an intimate adventure.

Enjoys cuddling, spooning, and welcomes a warm touch.

Appreciates great food, cooking it as going out for it.

Can have just as much fun staying in as going out.

Are you looking for more than just a cyber pen pal? If so, thanks for letting me know.
Are you ready for a Passionate Adventure?
Date single man from California, United States. Be who you are ....
Because who you are .... Is “what I love”.
I would 1st like to apologies to all those who I have not responded or replied to your Chat request. I have neglected myself and my promise of friendship (work, work and more work) this past year. So in doing my year end inbox clean up I realized that I never stopped and looked at the wonderful people that actual replied to my original request and tried to become my friend. So I am give myself 3 month to re-kindle the ambers of friendship or to blaze a new passion of making friends.
My profile is not my best description of myself (there is so much more) but here it is including my sonata for finding a friend in a world of internet bits and bytes.
Come one, come all .....
(original message)
Come on... save the world, one new friend at a time.
Lift your spirits... Make a friend.
First with words then with laughter and then lets see where our hearts take us...
I have found out that "absent does make the heart grow fonder" and that distance does make a difference.
The need and importance of human contact is greatly under rated.
(nothing can take the place of a good hug or a warm cuddle)
They are like chicken soup for your heart.
I would like to meet someone closer to home. With whom life's smile and frown can be shared.
I love traveling... seeing, experiencing and photographing the beauty of this world.
I have been to 22 countries and 36 states.(visited Australia 6 times last year)
But there are other places I have still yet to see.(like Tibet, Saint Petersburg and Morocco)
If you are still interested, read on.
I find that a smile can hide the nicest of personalities and the sparkle in someone eyes can show the beauty that lies within. Looks are not important but a beautiful smile will steal my heart every time. Communication, trust, honesty and passion are more important traits then beauty.
I am very outgoing and love to meet new people. I like casual fun and passionate laughter.
I don't like games of the heart. (too painful) But, I am picky about love, because when you settle for second best, you'll get it everytime.
I don't need a relationship, I desire one. I am not into games or head-trips.
A relationship out of necessity is doomed. No one person can meet the total needs of another without honesty, respect and trust.
If your desire is to share life and a smile, and to enjoy life and find a meaningful friend with a warm connecting heart ... Then lets start something small and watch it grow ...
If this sound like someone you would like to call a friend ... or if you want to know more about me please reply.
BECAUSE:
I will know her from her smile ....
I will lover her from my heart ....
And rainy days will only be reminders of better days to come ..... with her.
And all will be right with the world .... in my eyes.
Just because she "Smiled"
(written by David) me!!!
I hope to hear from You “my new friends” soon ....
If I am not here it is because I decided to get away from my computer, and the whole internet deal, which I sometime find to be an... ummm... interesting... and rather... ummm... impersonal... experience.
So you will not always find me here ....
I will have ventured out to explore the World, and live Life and not wait for the end, and along the way maybe find that special someone to share the journey.
Hope to hear from you soon ... keep smiling.
~David~
The Diversity of my mind, of my heart and of my life ... is in my music. ------
