Date men and women from United States / California / Long Beach, 39 year old

Date single man from Long Beach, United States. A wise man once opined that we should not blame it on the sunshine. He added that we should not blame it on the moonlight either. The good times, he went on to suggest, were also probably not the real culprit, and he concluded by indicating that the fault lies with the boogie.
I just moved to Long Beach after living in St. Paul and dealing with Minnesota winters for about 14 years. Finally, life on the beach. I'm a trader by profession working from home and I supplement that with some minor freelancing as a photographer.
Some of the moments in my life that define me include solo-camping in the high Sierras (and getting caught in a snowstorm), camping out for a week on the north coast of Kauai and sea-kayaking among giant sea turtles, getting my private pilot's license, managing a large corporate software project, getting pulled over in South Dakota doing 140mph (10 years ago and it was a $200 ticket but the cop was super friendly and polite so it was actually an almost entirely pleasant experience), successfully selling my business, growing tomatos from seed, and discovering that making sushi at home is cheap and easy.
I believe life is about taking calculated risks, and making them pay off. I also believe one's life is basically steered and bounded by your imagination, willingness, and determination to translate thought into reality. I am fiercely independent and averse to mainstream media.
I'd like to meet someone equally thoughtful, intelligent, and thrilled about life in general. Chemistry is key so I'd prefer to meet in person. I'm drawn to intelligence and empathy and I admire all kinds of athleticism and artistry.

Great Sense of Humor

Meet a man from Long Beach, United States. First, thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile. I am a funny, easy-going, ambitious man who enjoys life and always looks at the brighter side of things. Friends and family are very important to me. I am a giver not a taker. With that said, I enjoy helping others and at times I may help them a little too much. I embrace excitement, new situations, adventure and the unusual. I make friends with people from all walks of life and I am always up to something new and exciting with enthusiasm.I am extremely athletic and enjoy working out ;. I have yet to find someone that can actually keep up with me working out...Sports are a huge part of my life. I am super passionate about my teams( GO NINERS !!! )and will watch and play any sport at any given time. I competed in 3 sports at the collegiate level and still compete as often as possible.
I have a great time no matter what I am doing. There are so many things that I enjoy and want to do. However, doing stuff is a whole lot more fun with great company. I am all about partnerships , especially in a relationship. I am seeking a woman that is emotionally ,mature,kind,supportive, affectionate, ambitious, independent and caring. I am very attracted to a woman who's balanced.. If you have to ask what that is then you don't know what I'm talking about. She communicates straightforward without anger or criticism. A woman who wants a whole partner and who knows what its like to have a maniplulation-free relationship. She also must be active and enjoys sports.

Date a soulmate from Long Beach, United States. I'm an artist and a designer, tryin to live a positive life with purpose. Iove meeting new people (though it doesn't happen often enough), traveling (especially road trips... Getting there is often better than arriving), and learning about how other people live. My medium of choice is photography, so you'll rarely see me without some sort of camera. I'm posting this because I'm looking for people with whom I can share adventures (bonus points if you're a photographer too...) inspire me (people who love life usually do the trick), and spend time with. I find it's harder to meet new people these days, so hopefully match.com can help!
Other interests include motorcycling, film (especially science fiction, comedies, and quirky... Coen Brothers), exploring new places, bicycling (mountain biking), and cooking. I love my career in the electronic entertainment industry... everyone around me is young, creative, and don't take themselves too seriously.

Meet men and women from Long Beach, United States. I’m an authentic, positive person. I enjoy just about everything: from just hanging out to planning out a high adventure weekend trip. I tend to easily connect to others. I talk easily. I’m honest. I'm a firm believer in finding love in everything you do, rather than just trying to do only what you love.
I'm educated. I've traveled. I really enjoy my career. And, I love animals (seems to be important to all the match profiles I read here). In short, I really enjoy life.....responsibly.
I’m not looking to simply date on Match.com. I’d much rather “connect” with someone. Yet, there’s only so much a profile is going to say, right? I’m not looking to waste a lot of time here, your's or mine. So, I’m open to taking a chance, talking or meeting and seeing if there’s a spark. If not, that’s ok and we can move along. Life’s short. I hope you either email me….or I sincerely wish you the best of luck on your search.

Date single man from United States. I have a small family and very close to them and will do anything for them. I believe in Karma and know it will come back to bite you. Honesty means a lot to me. I rather hear the truth then a sugar coated half truth. It’s all about growing from experiences
I have been riding and working on scooters (vespa and Lambrettas) for many years now. I have a few and enjoy working on them and riding them. I have a small unit that I keep all of them and my tools that turns in to a hang for friends on the weekend when the suns out. After many years of working on others I finally restored one for myself a couple years ago. After many long weekends and nights it came out better than I would of thought. I am thinking about doing another one soon. One of my friends I share the unit with has been restoring a old mini cooper. It’s been fun watching and helping.
You can also say I am a computer geek. I build all my own computers and fix some of my friends. I just like to take things apart even if I don’t know how to put it back together.
I love going on fishing trips. There’s just something being out on a boat watching the ocean and sea life then hitting a school of Mahi Mahi first thing when you wake up…
I also like to cook. I just made some coconut ice cream and mmmmmm. Need to save that recipe. Make come pizza from scratch or jerk chicken or try something new. Have you ever made sweet tamales with MMs? You should try it….
You might of seen me on the road singing in my car. I know I was off key but hey at least I tried to hit that high note. I have a wide range of music tastes. Depeche Mode, Sublime, Oingo Boingo, Pendulum, Stone Sour, Bob Marley and the list goes on.
My friends know me as someone they can count on for just about anything.
What I am looking for….. I am just looking for that one woman that each time I see her puts a smile on my face. Is that too much to ask for?

Date someone special from United States. I’M FUN and very comfortable in my own skin. I’m equally happy in jeans at a basketball game or in a suit at [insert place to wear suit on a date]. I’m a good mix of culture, humor, athleticism and intelligence. I love music and concerts, dancing (that’s right…shoot), good food and good booze, watching and playing sports, trying new restaurants, movies (I always know that movie line…trust me.), going out and staying in. I’m close with my family and have many close, long lasting friendships that are just as important to me. I’m witty and sarcastic and like meeting new people with interesting stories. Hmmmm…I can't think of anything else...oh, yeah: your parents will love me...maybe more than you will. Probably. OK...not really.
My match? Geez...if I knew that, I wouldn't be on this thing! That being said...I see myself with someone who is intelligent, sweet, cute, independent and can roll with just about anything. She needs to be very comfortable in her own skin. Aside from having the same basic ideals, I’m not necessarily looking for someone who is exactly like me; in fact, I think it’s important for her to have some varied interests to keep things exciting. It’s attractive to me to learn new things and be exposed to something I typically haven’t been. What I’m saying, is that I don’t really want to date myself. (Although I hear he’s quite a catch!) She doesn't have to be funny....just has to laugh at my shenanigans. I'm simple...sort of.

Meet a man from United States. Who am I? I’m a man looking for a genuine woman of lively imagination and an easy smile. Show me how you value life and beauty. How do you see it? Why does that matter to you? I hope to share curiosity and interest in the world, nature, people, spirit. Irreverence is a wonderful thing, got to spice things up! My work involves generating possibilities, and I believe we create our own reality. I take life as a great gift and I experience joy in all aspects of its manifestation. I call things like I see them. I am kind, warm, and truthful, creative and a thinktank. I might surprise you, and I love to laugh. Look, I’m not necessarily looking for the “relationship of a lifetime” at this moment- who knows when that will enter stage left? – but I’d really enjoy some stimulating conversation and engagement with a woman who knows herself, maybe some silliness, and the opportunity to meet someone who runs a bit outside of the mainstream (I think at this point it’s OK to want better than average, don’t you?). It’s a short life in many ways – let’s have fun!

Date a soulmate from United States. Hmmm... Let's see, I'm looking to meet someone of beastly measures whose favorite things are coffee, their ipod, facebook, and dancing. Oh... and texting their ex's.
Before you read it all, relax. I'm hilarious.
I haven't been on here too long. Actually, no... I've had an account for over a year. Just haven't been on or subscribed in a while. Its Summer, chill out. Still, no matter the season, there's a truth to this site. I can't speak for everyone, but if you're an attractive girl, with any substance at all, then an average day for you on this site is probably quite the horror. Filtering through masses of borderline bumper-sticker worthy taglines from guys whose picture vs. quality ratio could be compared to a McDonald's Value Menu: Heavy cheese, perfect buns, Looks delicious, smells even better. But after only a few bites of his lackluster mispelled introduction, you're left feeling sick, drowsy, and running for the nearest bathroom.
Welcome to Match!
In most cases, a db's playground. Where unsuspecting sweet girls are trampled by arrogant all-terrain tires and nauseated by Deep-V's and shirtless bathroom photos of men whose prototypes have determined their place in the sheep species of lesser mammals...... If I'm not warm, then you haven't had the grand tour yet LOL. It's amazing what dating has become. Expecting normalcy is almost making yourself the outcast. So, while we're here, all I'd suggest is that we embrace the convenience that technology has offered our generation in what's become the latest most complicated point of intrigue we all share... Romance.
But it's not all bad. In a lot of cases, if you take your time, are selective, and don't smother your profile in defense mechanisms (that includes trashy photos) you are likely to come across some genuine, fun, Intelligent and real people. If you're lucky, they'll be funny too.
Well I may be alota things, but one thing I'm not, is a fast food Big Mac. I don't swim in shallow waters, and I don't chase the scene. But I can party like no one's business. I just hide the edgy side through clever writing. I have a Tosh like sense of humor. I like traveling, nights in, experimenting in the kitchen, making friends with complete strangers at a sushi bar, writing and singing off key at parties, showing people the better part of themselves, never minding what others think. Impressing me is humoring me, and that should come natural if you're someone for me.
I was brought up very traditional and old fashioned - Respect your parents, do well in school, earn your own keep, be good to your girl, and don't be a prick. I also love to write cook, and draw. Sometimes i surprise even myself and actually create something good. I'm easily pleased and pretty accepting of a lot, so i get along pretty well with everyone. As a kid I was obsessed with anything creative, and it's made me pretty well rounded with my other artistic talents.
I aim to stay in shape. And more than anything, stay positive. When I'm not being inappropriate with my sarcasm, I'm a pretty down to earth guy. I'm not a hard ass, and I don't bully my way into getting things, but I may flirt my way into getting them. Why not? I'm established, well spoken and can usually talk my way around most situations, without having to lie or exaggerate things to people. I don't need a girlfriend to operate efficiently, but I love having companionship if it can exist without drama. #1 for me right now is career and goal setting. My night life is always changing but always with friends and having fun. I have tattoos, but am usually hiding them in a suit. When I'm not going out to eat, I'm a chef in my own kitchen. I have a range of other hobbies and interests that I'll save for now. So if you took to any of this, introduce yourself.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Directionally challenged when driving but ever so on the ball about where I am going in life.
I know who I am and know what I want out of life. I am honest, affectionate, and I also have a wicked sense of humor. I love to have fun whenever possible and love it when I laugh so hard my cheeks hurt. I'm not spontaneous usually, but I can surprise you from time to time. I enjoy the simple things in life and am not concerned with impressing others. I love my family deeply and have a deep connection with them and my close friends whom I also love very much. There is nothing more wonderful than spending a lovely day with the ones you love and simply enjoying what life has to offer. That's how you know you have achieved true happiness; when you look around you, and know you are loved. I am looking for someone who would like to share those moments of happiness.
I grew up in Long Beach and can't imagine living very far from the beach if I were to ever move. I'm not a complex person, but I am a mixture of old fashioned modern ideas (I blame my parents LOL just kidding;actually I'm not heh heh).
I enjoy my work, and don't mind the hours, but I am by no means a workaholic. I will always make time for that someone special in my life. I am lookng for someone who is like minded. Someone who likes to have fun after the work is done and can just unwind and enjoy life. Are you game?
And lastly, the disclaimer...I am sooo not about hook ups or one night stands. Please only wink or email me for decent communication.
