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

Date a soulmate from Hermosa Beach, United States. You've just read his profile and it says that he's down to earth, loves is job, likes going to the movies and the topper, he LOVES long walks on the beach!! Oh boy sounds like a keeper! No, you're not going to get that from me. After all, I just bought an awesome little house in Hermosa Beach. It comes with a clean bathroom and a fully stocked fridge. Now, you just need to bring over a good bottle of wine. How about it?
So, I like to go out occasionally, or stay home and cook pasta and several other mysterious dishes. I live a the beach, play in the city, travel to far away places, eat great food, to to live sporting events, hang out with family, read psychology books, love deep intellectual conversations and live a full life. In fact, I'm often seen going to this mysterious little place in LA that has the most amazing margaritas. I have minimized negativity from my life and only associate with people of integrity and character. I have many passions but right now it's all about live music.
So, who am I looking for? Well, you if you are attractive, fit, and down to earth. You are generally a positive person who comes from a good family. You're independent, emotionally available, and are open to new and amazing experiences.
So, tell me about YOU. What makes you so different from all the other women out there?

Meet a man from Hermosa Beach, United States. I have been called a relationship guy. I won't say that I disagree. However, I am not in a rush since chemistry is either there or it isn't. It's nothing personal & must be mutual. Instead of being in a rush to find that person that we all deserve to find I am taking a different approach. There is value in every relationship that we establish from "Hello" to "I l**e you". Yes. That is Like or Love TBD.
3 key things that I have learned that I need for a great relationship are physical attraction, intellectual attraction and emotional attraction. The first two are easy and usually discovered on the first date. The third is the challenging one in that it is usually entangled with people's past, makes the present difficult and prevents a future. It takes time to be shared openly and to find safe harbor to bind two people together to take on the world.
I am obviously a hopeful romantic & while I look younger than I am on the outside I have an old soul on the inside. Like most, I find resorting to using this website to meet quality people a bit of a struggle, but hey, why not? Because we are all in such a rush in our day-to-day and often stuck in our routines I welcome the option instead of relying on friends or a chance encounter to play Matchmaker.
I am expanding my network of people that I enjoy hanging with when I am in town. I cherish the sounds of the ocean, sunsets, quality conversation and sharing life experiences. I have recently crafted a "No Drama" lifestyle. I was once very uptight, serious and rigid in life, but have learned there is happiness to be had & great value in being "Chill". I am accomplishing the goals that are important to me in my personal life and that which I feel responsible to provide for others in my professional life.
Ideally I would love to be struck speechless with a racing heart. Being open to that moment I am looking to connect with someone that enjoys a home cooked meal, going out for dinner, just chillin' on the beach or catching up over a cocktail. I already have a good group of friends, but it is always nice to meet new people one-on-one. There are so many great things to enjoy in life and let's be real for just a second...Most of them are far more enjoyable with someone else to reflect on the experience and share their unique perspective.
I am definitely not looking for a clone of me since I know my own shortcomings & perspectives. Rather I am open to learning & experiencing a different point of view. I know. Contrary to Match, but what would we learn from each other if we were the same? It is nice to be at a point in life when I know what I want and need and can truly appreciate someone that can do the same. Like many I am sure I can provide a list of dislikes, but would rather be optimistic and view the past as a continuous learning experience.
I offer a quote to close this overview that likely applies to all of us:
"More than the naked eye can see in a glance"
If I was made to encapsulate the quest into a few simple sentences I would probably say something like this:
"I would like to meet someone that inspires me, makes me feel like a silly kid again, has me grinning just by seeing her walk into a room knowing she is heading my way. Someone that is cool with having doors opened for them, chairs pulled out and knowing what crazy Starbucks version of coffee she drinks and successfully being able to order it for her."
I am taking a little time for a career and focus re-adjustment. Search Hermosavita and you can find part of my endeavor. No drama, just a little Eat, Pray, Love or whatever guys are supposed to do to that equivalent. I guess you can say I am defining my sense of purpose as opposed to letting opportunities do that for me. My goals for contributing to our world have always been bigger than those that have tried to employ me. Remember, it is all about having a "Beautiful Life". Drop in & say hi and share a story from yours.

Date men and women from Hermosa Beach, United States. I tend to get along with everyone and can be the life of the party but I don't need to be. I stay physically fit with a variety of exercising.
I enjoy fine meals or a burger on the grill.
I am looking for a friend, lover, partner and hope to find this with a connection that is effortless.

Meet men and women from Hermosa Beach, United States. Who am I? That infamous question that is always hard to answer because I think I discover something new about myself regularly depending on who I am with and what adventures I sought out that day. But I can guarantee that I have a heart of gold, I'm sincere and honest, easy going, love to laugh and have fun. I have compassion and integrity. I'm passionate about life and the people in my life, life is too short not to be.
I consider myself a fairly social and outgoing person although I do have my quiet and shy moments. I enjoy meeting new people every day. I believe in learning something new every day and trying my best to always believe and act like the glass is half full vs. half empty. I believe in giving love and helping others.
I treasure my time with friends and family. It seems I now enjoy more quieter times and prefer to hang with small groups of friends these days verses always going to crowded noisy bars for entertainment. It's not that I won't enjoy participating in fun conversation at a fun restaurant / bar every once in a while but I am ready for so much more! So, Can you Inspire me? I don't have issues meeting people, due to my social nature, the real challenge is finding the "one" guy, my friend and lover, who is the "apple of my eye, keeper of my soul"...A quote from Amos Lee (love listening to his music)
Do you like adventure? Would you like to go biking across Tuscany then wine tasting in Chianti? I've never done it before but it sounds fun. Are you romantic...let's kiss passionately in front of Rome's Trevi fountain. My idea of vacation is not to lay on the beach all week but a combination of exploring the land and culture, being active and some relaxing on the beach. I love skiing and hiking. I like to go to college football games (Go Trojans!), watch sports every once in a while but would prefer to be outside doing something active.
Do you love dogs? I definitely do. I think it’s the unconditional love and the wagging of their tale showing how excited they are to see me when I get home. That’s what I want in a partner….no you don’t have to wag your tale(Lol) but we should be so excited to see each other everyday if the connection is perfect.
I am pretty easy going and independant, not super high maintenance (well, only once in awhile, just trying to be honest :)
I love dressing up to go to a nice dinner with the perfect bottle of wine and the perfect partner. Or let's curl up on the couch and watch a movie after cooking our favorite meal together...lots of fun to be had in the kitchen. Saturday morning I like to wake up early, work up a sweat at the gym to get a good start to the weekend. I can have fun almost anywhere especially when I'm with that special someone.
I love tall guys but it’s not a deal breaker if you are 6'..I just have to warn you that sometimes I love wearing my sexy 3” heels so you must be comfortable with a girl who is taller than you for that evening.
I seek a man with whom our chemistry is viral and never stops, someone who is thoughtful, funny, has a warm heart, sincere and honest, ambitious, physicially active and passionate about life just like me. I am looking for someone to compliment me, who understands the importance of open intimate communication in a relationship, someone with balance that makes me a better person (there is always room for improvement). I don't have to be perfect, I just want to be perfect for you. I am looking for a man who is secure with who he is, but not cocky. I like a man who's physically fit and takes care of himself because that is what I strive for myself. There is much more to tell if the above describes you. Interested?

Date a soulmate from Hermosa Beach, United States. The last time I wrote about myself was for a professional bio....Here goes....Everyone asks why I'm not married, how did someone not snatch me up by now -- do I have regrets... Not at all!! It was my choice and I wasn't ready. I have been enjoying life, pursuing a wonderful career and building lifelong friendships around the world. I am now at a comfortable point and am ready to find a partner.
I'm originally from Syracuse (yes people do escape), lived in London, Italy, Boston, and spent the last 6 years in NYC. Business allows me to work from anywhere - that includes at home in Hermosa, and sometimes in CO, the Hamptons, NYC, Syracuse, Monaco. I'm thrilled to be back in SoCal - life on the beach, surrounded by the beauty of the mountains and the desert - but I'm open to relocating and exploring different places together.
I travel for work and pleasure and perhaps you do too as would be fun to travel together. Have been to amazing places but still many on the list (mountain gorillas, Antarctica, Tibet, Nepal, South America). As I'm newly back to SoCal, would like to explore LA (restaurants, theatre, hikes) and the region (Death Valley, Central Coast, North Rim).
Life balance and leading a healthy, active lifestyle are important. My goal is to do something everyday on top of the morning run with Jackson (my dog is far more popular than I around Hermosa). I'll pretty much do anything - tennis, volleyball, rock climbing, biking, rollerblading, 5ks - to keep it interesting.
Family and Friends are important. I enjoy entertaining and hosting dinner parties with great wine and organic food to keep everyone healthy. My stepmom simply loved when I sent her a huge bag of chia seeds for Mothers Day :) Traveling to visit everyone is high on the list. Many friends are now engaged or married so would be nice to do the "couple things".
Who you are...a partner who is an equal and value add. We would have an even more fortunate and full life together versus apart. We become more synergistic and seamless as time passes. We have mental and physical chemistry that is intense and lasting. You are honest, a chivalrous gentleman and not into drama.
I'm most attracted to professionals / execs at the top of their career as we understand each other.

There will be a large gap between us if you are jobless, filing bankruptcy, looking for a sugar mama, taking drugs, smoking pot, frequently bellying up to the bar (or have a beer belly), or like to play video games and watch cartoons.
I've posted my photos. Please don't make me ask for yours - include in your initial contact.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I'm a fun, artsy girl who loves living a full life. I'm independent and positive and quite happy with where I am. I value my friends and family and believe in using my talents to make a difference in this world for people and animals. I'm good company and like to laugh at the silliest things. I'm vegetarian but I do respect other people's eating choices.
I'm well traveled but would love to explore more of the world. I love reading and discussing books and ideas and comfortable in flip-flops at the beach and heels for an awesome night out.
I have tattoos that are artistic representations of my cultural heritage and rock them when I can but also know when to have them appropriately covered (like when I'm at work and high profile donors are visiting or if your grandmother would just be absolutely horrified to see them).
I do set aside time thinking about how to stay a good person, be of service in the world to people and animals.
I believe in healthy relationships and healthy ways of dealing with conflict. Life's too short to live it steeped in drama. Let's get that out of the way so we can really enjoy each day! Life's pretty awesome...let's get to it!

Date people from California, United States. My friends say I am a very intelligent human being, very thoughtful, kind and generous. I have wonderful values, integrity, loyalty, honesty and humility and I am a successful professional. I admire businessmen and entrepreneurs. I love to meet like minded people, who are on the same page as myself. I would very much like to meet a man that can match my qualities. I am a proud individual, and have a feeling of satisfaction for all my accomplishments.
I am Asian and have lived in the United States for the last seven years. I am grateful for all that I have, and for all that has been given to me and my life's experiences.
My goal is to travel around the world, work less, play more, learn new languages, experience new cultures, have a healthy and abundant lifestyle, try exotic foods, meet people from all over the world, play new sports and new musical instruments.

Meet a woman from California, United States. Hi there! It's hard to reduce who I am down to three paragraphs but here goes. I have a demanding career and work hard but also like to have fun and explore new places (I've visited about 30 different countries). Despite my career (which in no way defines who I am as a person) I always make time for my partner and am very supportive. I'm looking for a guy who's similarly situated and has his life together. I've never been married, but it's not because I'm some nut job. I was with an amazing guy for most of my 30s but he passed away unexpectedly a few years ago. Anyhow, I've worked through that and know that relationships are hard work and to be sucessful both people have to be willing to pick their battles and compromise on unimportant things. I tend to be attracted to type A Alpha Males. I'm type A as well, but don't let my work persona rule my personal life. Pretty much every guy I've ever dated would tell you that I'm a nurturer by nature and am easygoing, fun, playfull, sillly at times, non-judgmental and forgiving. I don't have any kids of my own but love kids so it's not a problem if you have kids from a prior relationship. Also open to the idea of having my own or adopting.
I live in Hermosa and love being active and spending time outdoors. I also have a place in Mammoth and snowboard as much as my schedule permits during winter, so it'd be nice if you're into skiing or snowboarding as well. I enjoy working out, dinner parties with friends (I'm a pretty decent cook), trying new restaurants, going to the beach, and weekend trips to Napa or Santa Barbara. I have to dress professionally for work, as well as attend a few formal events a year, but am more of a jeans or sundress and flip flops person in my free time.
I'm pretty tall (almost 5' 11") and am not comfortable dating someone shorter than me. I don't like drama and people who create drama for no reason drive me nuts, so if you thrive on highs and lows we're not a good match. Basically I'm looking for someone smart, nice, funny, affectionate, active and goal oriented, but laid back about the small stuff. Also looking for someone who will have my back but at the same time challenge me intellectually and push me to be the best person possible. If these characteristics describe you please send me a message!

Date men and women from California, United States. This is my favorite quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson. I think it's a great definition of a successful life:
To laugh often and much
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived
that is to have succeeded.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. My friends and family would decribe me as someone that always can find the good in people. I am generous and spontaneous. I don't like things overly planned. I am very close to my family and friends. I still go to Chicago a lot because it definitely became my home. I am a good conversationalist, but am looking for someone that I can be quiet with too. I want someone that I can care about and that will be loving, concerned, and caring towards me as well.. I love goof-balls and joking around. I am new to the area but have traveled here for a lot of years so know my way around. I have found that its best to keep my profile simple and share more if there is a mutual interest. I hope to hear from some down to earth guys in this massive place. I think my style and personality is more east coast/ midwest than west coast, but most people I meet here seem to think I am a native. Open communication is key in a meaningful relationship. I will always be honest with you and ask that you do the same. Can't wait to meet you!

Date someone special from United States. I love the nature and love to be on the beach to feel sands on my feet, enjoy sunshine listening to the ocean or being out for bike riding. I also love to visit mountain once a while and always miss it. I love the guitar sound and myself play acoustic guitar everyday. I like relaxing acoustic soungs like Jack Johnson and also enjoy rock music and like to be at rock live music, 80's,90's.
I am currently so into playing "A Thousand Years" from Twilight.
I am looking for a loving long term relationship with a right person who has common interests to enjoy our lives together. The right person must be a sweet and honest man who also has the same goal and who I can enjoy to talk about many things about life.
I am very sweet and affectionate. I have a lot of affection and enjoy to provide it to the right partner so I would like to be with someone who has a big heart and can feel comfort with my affection and passion.
As I described, I love music and am very open for the new things what my partner want to enjoy together and I prefer to be with someone who is also open for the things I enjoy.
**If you are over 50, sorry but I am NOT willing to consider.
**Please have a photo of yourself to contact me. Thanks.

Meet people from United States. I moved to Hermosa Beach from Chicago about 2 years ago :) My friends would describe me as a cute gal with an outgoing personality, that loves to laugh and make others laugh as well. I love sports, spectating mostly. This little bod wasn't gifted with lots of athletic ability, but I still have fun enjoying sporting events. I'm a big football fan. I know, unusual for a gal, but true. I'm not big into working out at a gym, I'd prefer a nice walk by the beach or Pilates. I have been blessed with a naturally trim body, size 0 Petite to be exact. I have no problem with my match being into working out, I love a fit man. I hope you can appreciate my playful, high-energy Jack Russell as much as I do. He loves to walk by the beach as well.
I enjoy traveling and jetting off to warmer climates in the winter. I also love traveling to Europe...mostly the French Riviera and Monaco. I'm really into great tasting food and wine. You won't catch me having a bowl of cereal for dinner. Volunteering my time and money to a good cause is something I've been doing for years. When I can't contribute my time, I'm sure to contribute money instead; they need plenty of both.
Since most of my family is out west, it was time to move from Chicago. My only nephew (6 yrs. old) is in LA and my parents have a second home in Vegas. Family is very important to me.
I'd love to meet that special someone that is good looking, fit, cultured and shares some of my interests. I don't have an ideal perfect date, I think we should be having a great time no matter what we are doing.
