Date someone special from Lakewood, United States. Okay, here’s where I, admittedly, may appear a tad less than irresistible on paper (or viewing screen) to some depending on perspective (although I hope you’ll find redeeming aspects), so feel free with arms flailing to run in the opposite direction if the following horrifies: I am recently separated (five months) and have four (beautiful) sons (7, 11, 13 & 14) whom I split custody. My young men are the best thing that ever happened to me, you should know, and I am a loving, involved father. Mon-Weds, I rent a room in a house (Long Beach) shared with a female (lesbian—no sexual tension, perfect) who’s the owner; Thurs-Sun, I live with my sons in the home (Lakewood) that I own while their mother lives elsewhere with her folks (this co-op residency arrangement, at least for the time being, has retained a positive degree of continuity for our kids). Moreover (i.e., in the “questionable-catch” department if you’re still reading), I (primarily) roll in a 1990 Corolla that’s bound to underwhelm any potential date subscribing to the tenet “you are what you drive” (my “good” car is a Sienna minivan also reflective of my former, nobody-to-impress, married life—unlike today, of course, where a late model sedan, restored classic or anything with a modicum of style, might prove advantageous—but hey, both vehicles are paid for, and while I will eventually acquire a better main ride, the Corolla just won’t die).
Putting these disclosures up front may present a risky “Match.com” strategy, I realize. Perhaps, however, if you met me in person you would find plenty appealing. True, in addition to the above, I’m 51 years old—but in very good physical shape (not a muscle-head, mind you, just well-toned—and improving—from working out nearly every day), 150 lbs, 29” waistline, 5’8” in height (yeah, not the tallest guy, either, yet technically not short). Often I’ve been told that I am youthful in appearance. I certainly feel youthful in outlook. Other attributes include having a decent job in Environment, Health and Safety, so despite dual households I can afford to pay my own way and/or treat. Besides exercising at the gym, I’ve been spending once or twice a week figure skating, of all things, because my 7 year old developed a strong interest and, as a result, I’ve become a regular Brian Boitano on ice. I (particularly) enjoy reading fiction and nonfiction. I also write (undergraduate BA in English, UCLA). Last year I completed a first draft of a young adult novel that requires extensive revision and am gearing to return to it. Also, lately, finding more time on my hands, I’ve been seriously thinking about shooting a “no” (not “low”) budget movie on video (tell you more if you ask in person).
I like to think that I am a kind, affectionate, easy-going, loyal friend (I’ve had the same best friend since I was 6 years old), with a sense of playfulness, wry yet optimistic, comfortable alone or in a crowd among all types of people. In restaurants, I can negotiate silverware or chopsticks. Whether ESL or native and fluent, I am open if you think we would be attracted. I’m attracted to every ethnicity (I am “mixed” but you’d probably assume, as others seem to, that I’m strictly white—furthermore, my sons’ mother is from China so consider they are everything: North, South, West and East).
Philosophically, I always say that I do not have to have a lot of things, just the right things. I also like to think that I would rock the right woman. And she me. I don’t kid myself, however, that this would occur with every woman. Just the right one.

Date someone special from United States. I'm a guy who is seeking for my soul mate so I can love and cherish her for the rest of my life. I have a very open mind, which is adventurous as far as experiencing various cultures. I guess you can say I'm a people person, when of course I'm in the company of those who are comfortable with their inner self. I don't like being around people that are insecure and have to brag about material things in life. I'm very humble when it comes to my fortunate blessings in life. I have an excellent sense of humor and I enjoy making that special lady in my life smile. I also like surprising that special lady in my life just to let her know that she is loved. I like animals especially dogs. I have a Shih Tzu, who is my buddy. I'm really not that fond of zoos, because I think animals should be in there on habitat environment so they can also enjoy their lives. I have traveled abroad on several occasions, mostly the European countries. I love trying different ethnic foods and I do enjoy cooking. I don't believe the woman's job is to cook I feel it's an equal responsibility between a man and woman. If we both don't feel like cooking let's just go out to eat. I enjoy going to movies and just being cozy with the woman of my life. I'm a person that tries to go to church at least 2 a month or more if time permits. I enjoy going to comedy clubs, because I feel laughter is a gift from God, so one must take advantage of the moment as much as possible to relieve stress. Please feel free to ask any further questions that you may have, if you find that you are interested in getting acquainted.
