Date men and women from United States / California / Huntington Beach, 57 year old

Date single man from United States. I have owned my business for over 30 years. I was in a 25 year relationship. When I find something I like I stick to it. I love to laugh, I am looking for a woman that can get my humor and appreciate it. Dont worry I have a serious side too. I am looking for an attractive self confident woman that loves to be pampered but can pump her own gas if she has to.
I have made many friends lately but I would love to have someone more special to enjoy life with.
I am open to new thoughts and ideas and can take constructive criticism just fine. Can you? I am certainly not opposed to snuggling on the couch for a movie marathon on a cold rainy day. I love the wine country, running, skiing, riding motorcycles, (the list goes on). I have been hiking now for a little over a year. My group will be hiking Mt. Whitney in August. I'm looking forward to that. Please feel free to give me feedback if anyone of you out there have done it....If you want to know more about me, just ask. I wont bite.
Check out my pics if you haven't already. I'm not about to put a pic of me jumping out of a plane, they are just not that appealing but I did do that on Jan 1st of this year. What a way to start the year! Okay the Comedy Club is a couple of years old. I was playing around on a cruise... And yes I do have hair, I just like to wear hats.
Good luck to all of you, Thanks for coming to my little corner of the dating world. ( Get me out of here! )

Meet someone special from United States. A business professional who probably works more hours than he should, but takes pride in being the best. Looking for someone to balance me out and share great times and great romance. A lot more can be shared on life, love, and the pursuit of happiness.
You have it together, mentally and physically, but have been looking for that perfect guy who balances you out...maybe that's me? If you're still wandering the universe trying to figure out who you are and who you want to be...I'm not your camp counselor...please move on.
Okay...enough of that...what I do always promise is that you will be treated like an equal, with honor and respect, and I will always take into consideration your thoughts and feelings, and what is most important to you.

Date people from United States. I'm single, retired now and looking for fun. Looking for an independent woman in similar circumstances.
It’s always so hard to describe yourself without sounding like you’re bragging, but women I have met online have told me I’m good looking, smart, funny, sexy, a nice guy and a good kisser.
I guess the best way to describe what I'm looking for is a "girlfriend," a friend with benefits, someone to have fun with.
Looking for someone who's petite, smart, funny, and cute. Are you that someone?

Date a man from United States. Hi, I am a man with experiences that has helped me improve myself and others. I am still learning and will until the day I die. Living a mile from the beach is very cool. I walk or ride my bike down to Bosa Chica Beach from the Huntington Harbor area.

I have fun and enjoy whatever I do. I am a self employed independent home /building inspector. After 26 years in the business I have evolved into a man that goes way beyond what other inspectors do. I am always educating myself and take the time to provide detailed inspection reports.
The majority of people base success on money, not on how well others are served. My clients say they have a good time with me and sometimes fun because I am a bit nutty with some of them.
I always have fun at BBQ's, parties, and with a couple of drinks I enjoy dancing.
I enjoy challenges, teaching others, learning and love to please the woman I am with. I am a very young man for my age and enjoy keeping my body in shape, tanned and toned.
I am looking forward to meeting an open minded attractive in shape happy woman who enjoys her work, takes care of herself by exercise, good healthy eating and learning.
Take care and enjoy.

Meet men and women from United States. I am a well rounded man that enjoys a variety of things and is open minded to learning about other people, their likes and dislikes. I seem to get along with almost everyone. I enjoy going to swap meets, and garage sales and am a bit eclectic at times. I have owned several old cars and like most things that are old. A bit old fashioned at times my kids say. Gardening and working around the house is always peaceful, I take pride in what I have and try to take care of it. I love the outdoors, camping, rafting, fishing, grew up at the beach and love the sunshine and body-surfing. The weekends usually include a walk on the beach with Frank, my dog. In the winter when no tourists are around I like to walk on the shore to collect shells and driftwood, or ride my bike with a friend. I enjoy an occasional weekend out of town. In the Winter I would rather snuggle in front of the fireplace with my lady and a good bottle of wine instead of tearing up myself on the slopes. I used to ride dirt bikes and I tend to be somewhat of a Kamikaze! I like to golf and play tennis but not a fanatic. I've never smoked Tobacco...more of a naturalist. Still smoke pot, but don't drink hardly at all. Good for my blood pressure.! My favorite bands are Eric Burdon, John Mayall, Buddy Guy, Zeppelin, The Doors, The Beatles except for Paul's sissy stuff, The Temptations, (most of Motown), Dylan, Muddy Waters, Neil Young, Stones, Kinks, BB King, John Lee Hooker, and love Jazz of many types, Did I forget anyone?I have great sense of humor and you should also. I am looking to meet a nice, attractive lady preferably not with a giant rear end. Movies and dinner are always comfortable. I would like to find a best friend and lover to share my life with. I like to give and receive massages so please be comfortable with your body. I have lived in SoCal for most of my life, but have a little country in me, lived in OKC for a couple years. Probably not what you want to hear, but I would much rather go to a ballgame than go dancing. GO LAKERS! I need someone flexible that likes camping as much as resorts, wanna go to Yosemite with me? I have learned honesty is always best....and expect it from my friends and mates. If you're a good kisser that's a bonus.

Date single man from Huntington Beach, United States. Retired military and medical professional just looking for conversation and lunch dates. My friends say I am easy to talk to and always there when needed. Not much of a social life but I do enjoy reading, going to the gym and volunteering to help my fellow veterans. I am looking for a nice, attractive person who is independent and likes to converse.

Meet someone special from Huntington Beach, United States. I'm not that comfortable writing about myself, so what you are about to read will sound kind of dry, but I don't have it in me to improve it. I'm more open face-to-face than I am in an internet dating website. So, I can promise that if we meet, I will try to make you laugh, and I will answer all questions honestly, after I try to make you laugh, that is. Here comes the dry part:
I'm looking for a sensual, good-hearted and compassionate woman who likes to laugh and who appreciates the arts, movies, sports, traveling, family, and who likes to be active outdoors and also enjoys quiet evenings at home. (I write this, but I think everyone wants something like this, right? It seems obligatory and generic. But it is sincere.).
Professionally, I'm an English professor at a community college and also a former newspaper reporter and editor. I like teaching and writing, so my work has never really seemed like work
I have been divorced for 14 years and have two great daughters who are 16 and 18 and live with me half the time. They both are excellent basketball players and that takes a lot of my time, but I still have plenty of time for a relationship, hopefully with someone who doesn't mind watching an occasional girls' basketball game (they're good!). But even if you hate basketball, two people can have their own interests and still be together; in fact it might be better that way.
I also enjoy the arts, movies, most outdoor activities, reading, traveling, and family time. I'm down-to-earth, politically liberal, and spiritual in my own way, and though I'm not affliated with any particular religion, I appreciate eastern thought, such as that found in Buddhism. I think we're blessed to in a peaceful environment that allows us to see the magic in the world every day.
Thanks for reading this; best wishes in your search. Hope to hear from you.

Meet a soulmate from Huntington Beach, United States. I'm an honest and easygoing guy looking for a good friend and perhaps more. I highly value my longterm friends and my family. I'm self-reliant and don't mind hard work.
I'm fairly well educated and know my friends would say I'm a gentleman and fun to be around.
I'm hoping to meet someone I like and respect, with a sense of humor and a good moral compass.

Date a man from Huntington Beach, United States. I am a quality person with fantastic friends that takes time to enjoy life at home or traveling to unique and stimulating places. I am action oriented rather than a spectator and interested in meeting a woman of substance that is emotionally available without the help of her therapy group. I have a positive outlook and a zest for trying new things; specialized in a career where I am successful and at a time in my life where I want to share it with someone special. This is not the way I would normally go about meeting someone, but I have friends that believe in on-line dating and I am a good listener.  Emotionally available, positive,wakes up with a smile on her face, high energy, medium to low maintenance...any stronger maintenance needs, please look elsewhere. Likes to travel, enjoys getting and giving massages nightly. Comfortable in own space and interessted in creating new space for someone. Spends time with friends, close to family and loves her dad, especially if he just won the lottery. Considerate, fun and confident enough to appreciate a man who is kind and is a gentleman. At ease in moving from outside activities to attending a black tie event, to hanging around playing a game of Cranium in sweats. Warm, personal and passionate, especially about my cooking...or at least is independent enough to tell me what she thinks, rather than what she thinks I want to hear.

Meet men and women from Huntington Beach, United States. So little of the man I truly am can be conveyed within the content of a profile page on a dating website. I’d rather meet someone during the routine of my daily life, exchange a look, a smile…flirt...get a phone number and call, talk, then have a real first date instead of an interview over coffee or whatever. But those of us who are serious about meeting someone special to enrich our lives know from experience just how difficult that can be. So here we are. I’m just going to cover the basics about myself with the hope that you’ll want to know more about me…preferably in person.
I'm an easy-going guy with an intense, passionate side whose priority in life is to stay healthy and strong, because without my health I would be no good to anyone. But life is short, so I definitely enjoy my cheat days, in more ways than one: great (healthy) food, great wine, great dessert…better company...dining out or cooking in. I have excellent skills in the kitchen and enjoy collaborating on a meal, but am happy to whip up something while you relax and watch.
Weight training and mountain biking keep me fit and strong, but I’m passionate about surfing and golf (two things I don't get to do often enough), and I love to play any sport with family and friends. Meeting someone with whom I can participate in these activities, as well as introduce me into theirs, would be great.
I have two beautiful young Aussies, Tessie and Sheila, so you must love dogs, because they will grow to love you.
I am highly educated (and whole-brained, I've been told) and a MacGyver around the house. Another passion is writing, I have written professionally, and my dream is to someday watch one of my stories on the big screen...that's where the BIG bucks are!
I find self-confidence, strength and independence very appealing in a woman. One who exudes a natural, healthy glow, who’s at least fit if not athletic, who believes that self-improvement is a lifelong endeavor, both physically and intellectually, and has an inquisitive, adventurous nature; loves romance, affection (especially PDA!) and intimacy, because they are all part of any healthy relationship.
We all bring life experience (aka: baggage) into relationships, so I'm okay with yours if you're okay with mine--I just don't allow mine to create drama or keep me from being who I really am, and I don't use it as an excuse to be someone I'm not. With me, what you see is what you get.
I'm open minded and flexible, never sweat the small stuff, am a quick thinker but can analyze when necessary, am great at planning things to do or places to go, but there's also a lot to be said for spontaneity. I get along with everyone, but life's too short to have to deal with anyone who's flakey, bossy, bigoted, controlling or extremely anal. Equality in a relationship, and supporting each other's goals and dreams, are of the utmost importance to me. But I'm also an old fashion guy in many ways.
Movies, books and concerts are my main sources for entertainment, though small clubs can be fun. Summer concert series (like the one here in Ladera Ranch) have grown in popularity in recent years, and they're a blast! You toss a blanket on the grass with a couple of beach chairs, bring food and wine and just take it all in.
Most importantly, I am NOT a serial dater. If I meet someone whom I’d like to get to know, and the feeling is mutual, then I’m all theirs—including getting off this dating website. So let's meet, spend some time together and see where it goes!
Live and let live, accept me for who I am as I will you, be honest and loyal with high integrity, be warm and affectionate—basically, just be yourself—that would be an excellent place to start.
I look forward to hearing from you…
Byron
Ps. I don't do email relationships--so please introduce yourself, ask for my number or give me yours, or let's meet...emails are too impersonal and a waste of time...thanks for understanding :-)
