Meet single man from Laguna Beach, United States.
Whether making friends or matching up with that lifetime lover, I believe in the "no double standard" rule....meaning that the adjectives and virtues that absolutely apply to me below also apply to the woman I would like to meet. At the end of the day, dating can be exciting but I crave the relationship that makes me think about you all day at work....and no one else.
BTW, I seriously doubt that opposites really attract.....for any substantial length of time, anyway. Here goes:
Smart, confident, sexy, fit, kind, honest to a fault, honest until it hurts. Financially and emotionally stable. Monogamous. Loyal, interesting, brave, articulate, curious, friendly, like to entertain, comfortable in your own skin, comfortable next to my skin...and if we have that going on I will lavish you with affection!! Be on the slender side of "average", on the logical side of dramatic. Are you smiling when no one is looking; even smiling when you are asleep? Are you generally happy to be you?
I have my own opinions and you should too, and since I want a smart, opinionated, articulate partner, I am more than okay if we disagree on stuff sometimes, but we will always do it nicely and with respect. Be real, be a good talker and a good listener...
I've been married once. We were together 20 years and married for 15. The 2 kids are my pride and joy, and they are now off on their own paths. My daughter is a junior in college at SFSU and my son is a senior at Chapman. If you have kids, we will probably have more in common.
More to come. This profile is a work in progress....In the meantime, I am in Laguna and and if you are still reading and still nodding your head in agreement, I would love to meet you for coffee or a cocktail....

I really look forward to spending time with someone who wants to have a glass of wine or some coffee and just talk or do other things together, whether that is hanging around the house, going to the movies, hiking, taking walks on the beach, going out to dinner. My girls are my life, I am the type of Dad who does everything with/for his kids.I am a family oriented and enjoy hanging out with friends and neighbors.

Date a soulmate from Laguna Beach, United States. Try as hard as you want, but I'm that man you cannot typecast – I'm as comfortable in a tux as I am in a wet suit. My friends describe me as smart, caring, optimistic, passionate, fit, funny...and very romantic. I live life as a journey of learning and self-improvement. I enjoy challenging myself physically (running, yoga, hiking, skiing, scuba diving); creatively (write lyrics as a hobby and have writing credits on two albums, including one on iTunes right now); professionally (been President of several successful businesses and am now a partner in my own firm); and intellectually (explore a wide range of interests).
I have a great life filled with health, two wonderful college-age daughters, a loving extended family (including being good friends with my ex), lifelong friends dating back to grade school, and professional success.
I'm just missing romance.
This is the relationship I desire: Even after knowing each other for many years, when our eyes meet across a crowded party or a noisy dinner table, we will quietly communicate with a knowing smile that there's nobody else with whom either of us would rather be. I will feel this way because of your strength and confidence; your commitment to creating a loving relationship; your sense of adventure and love of life; your connection with friends and family; your kindness; the way your eyes smile when we see each other; and, yes, the breathtaking passion we share when we're alone.
In return I will offer a life filled with romance, fun, adventure, respect, honesty, stimulating conversation and daily dose of laughter. We will travel. We will discover. We will savor a lot of really good food and wine. We will love even more. We will have each other's back...always.
Are you the woman I'm searching for? A partner whose passion, optimism and sense of adventure suggests a love of life? A woman who enjoyes a good laugh as much as she does a smart conversation? Someone who will share my healthy and fit lifestyle? A spontaneous soul whose passport is always close at hand? An affectionate woman who shares her feelings through loving gestures and honest communications?
If so, don't wink. Please write to me, because I'd like to meet you.
Thanks!

Meet someone special from Laguna Beach, United States. I'm an average 51 year old guy. Single dad of a 3 year old who lives with me almost half of the time. I have a good job and work from home. I love peace and quiet time, eating out, cycling, and the beach.
Dating can be a challenge for a parent so I hope you will work with me. I'm open to dating someone who also has children of her own. Hopefully we will be more understanding of each others needs.
Most women my age desire the empty nest and the lifestyle that brings. Sorry, I left that behind last year. My life is now more Barney, less Vegas. If that sounds good to you, let's talk! On the other hand, if you're younger than me and have a young child, I'm open. You don't need to be an AARP member to talk to me.

Meet single man from California, United States. I am not looking for perfection, not even close. I am looking for someone who has the capacity to love and be loved. I am looking for someone who still believes in love and that “he” really exists. I am looking for someone who I can trust with my life and someone who will always be beside me as I will her. I am looking for someone who has been able to overcome difficulties and not become a victim of them. I am looking for someone who can separate old baggage from new problems and not mix up the two. I am looking for someone who will never lie to me because I will never lie to her because I can’t. I am looking for someone who does think that the best of life still is ahead of her and that the future is full of wonder with dreams to chase and catch. I am looking for someone who will say “I love you” to me once in a while without me having to say it first. I am looking for someone who does not mind being kissed and held in public and who will never have to hold a door open for herself. I am looking for someone who in time will be the best friend I have ever known or dreamed of knowing. I am looking for someone to share the rest of this life with through everything good and bad, no matter what. I am looking for someone who wants to marry someday and who wants to have my name. I want someone who will not mistake my kindness for weakness. I want someone who will appreciate a good man.
I believe in God deeply but I don’t have a specific religion. I am a huge believer in the laws of attraction and positive, spiritual living. I am a seeker. I have a good job in the entertainment industry but I never take it home with me and I don’t live to work, I work to live. I live at and love the beach and I spend a lot of time there year round doing stuff on, in, under or near the water. I stay in great shape and I workout at least five days a week. I love to cook and I really am pretty good at it. Grilling and seafood are my favorites. I love a great sushi bar or a great cup of coffee. I like to dress up once in a while and go out but I enjoy a quiet evening at home even more with the right person. I don’t drink or take drugs of any kind, ever, but I would not mind dating a social drinker. I am close with both of my parents and thankfully they are still with me. I am a volunteer also and I work with children which keeps my own life in proper perspective. I have a really wonderful life that I would like to share with someone.
I’m not rich. I am not poor. I’m not needy. I’m not desperate and I will never just settle for anyone. I am NOT attracted to heavy or out of shape women and my mind will not change on this subject so please take care of yourself if you respond. Yes, I have had several first and last dates since I have been on here but NONE of them have been a bad experience. I learn more about others as I do about myself while on this journey to find her. Having no expectations in this arena I am never disappointed. I do have hope however and plenty of it. I sincerely believe that God wired me to be in a loving, caring, monogamous relationship or the desire would have been removed from me by now. So, I enjoy the journey in the meantime knowing that you are out there preparing for me as I have been for you.
I’m sure this will come as a complete shock to you but every single word you just read about me is the truth.

Meet a woman from California, United States. If a friend was describing me, I think they'd say that I have a positive outlook on life, and that I see a glass half full. I feel lucky to have good friends around me, who make life fun, but also very meaningful. I grew up in Palo Alto, but after moving to San Diego for college, I fell in love with Southern California and I never left. I am an easy going person, who loves to have fun, travel, and discover new things (new food, new places, etc.)

Date someone special from United States. I'm kind, generous, thankful, loving, fun, sensitive, down to earth, open and closed, smart, creative, not very judgemental, and very compassionate.
I'm looking for a man who will treat me with kindness and respect, who has a great sence of self and humor. I do expect them to display boundaries when necessary. A little bit of a tough spirit when needed, not to tough just not a push over. Creativity and brains are nice too.

Meet people from United States. I think that my loved ones would describe me as creative, kind, passionate, romantic, fun loving, playful, witty, adventurous, lover of life, great friend, good listener, independent, true to my word, compassionate, caring, intuitive, respectful, giving...
I love to socialize with friends and family but I also have a good balance valuing quiet, reflective, and restorative time whether it be curling up by the fire reading a great book, or watching a great movie. I would love to share this with someone special.
Entertaining and cooking is something that comes natural for me whether it be for 60 people, an intimate group of 4 or a romantic dinner for 2. I am passionate about gourmet food and fine wine.
My father was in the shipping business and gave me my lust for travel at a young age. I am very spontaneous. My intuition is always beckoning me to my next adventure (the arctic circle to see the polar bears!). I don't always need an adventure...i also love to go to a beautiful exotic beach and lay low, reading, snorkeling, sleeping, dining, and....I am lucky to own my own business and be able to make time to take off when I want to (within reason!). Interior design has been my passion since I was a little girl. I followed in my mentors footsteps and have been blessed with an amazing career and incredible clients who have allowed my creativity to shine.
Being active is very important to me. Skiing in Utah in the winter is a passion (I have a small hide-away there) and being athletic all year long practicing yoga, spinning, paddle boarding, hiking,and fly fishing (yes, I just learned!).
Spirituality is part of my true essence. I am constantly reading and want to learn about all religions. I believe that they all have something special to offer. I respect other peoples beliefs and want to learn from someone who is conscious and true to their heart. I believe that I have something to learn each day.
I was not blessed with having my own children but love children. I am god mother and "fairy" god mother to many. I am at a point in my life that I want to give back in some way. Giving to children is calling me in some way. I recently traveled to Haiti to visit orphanages. I am following my heart and open to what calls me.
A romantic at heart I am looking for someone who loves life, values family and friends and who wants to have romance, passion. companionship, friendship, fun, adventure and travel...someone that really wants to share all the great things that life has to offer! Someone who wants to be a true and equal partner would be the ultimate gift to me.
On a more serious note, I really want to have a relationship with someone who has integrity and respect for all humans...
