Date a soulmate from Los Gatos, United States. I design consumer electronics for a living and really enjoy my work. At most other times I like to play guitar, bicycle, practice yoga and surf. I have many interests which include art, architecture, history, film, travel, camping, cooking (vegetarian here) and bird watching, but my main interest is music. I love playing and listening to music and often play guitar when I get home from work.
I live in the mountains above Los Gatos. My house is on the edge of a forest, so it is quiet and peaceful with great stargazing and bird-watching. I am currently remodeling the kitchen and floors, so it's a little dusty at the moment...
I grew up in the Bay Area, and although I have lived in other cities and other countries, I feel a special connection to Northern California. The dense Redwood Forests and rugged coastline make this a place that always inspires me. My family and closest friends are mostly in San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley, so I often find myself in those cities for weekend excursions.
I love to travel. When traveling, I tend to avoid the tourist spots and seek out the smaller, more traditional towns and villages. Experiencing different cultures leads me to revisit my own values, and often leaves me with a slightly changed perspective on life...I like that sensation. I also follow international politics (NPR and KPFA addict), and do my best to have a low impact on our planet.
I am looking for a long term relationship. I'm a calm, stable and reliable man with a lot to give and share. I want to spend the rest of my life with one woman, and bring out the best in each other. I'd like to meet a woman who is passionate and creative...and who also desires a loving and supportive relationship. It would be nice if we shared some of the same interests, but that's not necessary; I will happily embrace her interests. Hopefully she won't mind that I'll occasionally get silly and try to make her laugh; I'm a younger brother, so it comes naturally:)
Meet men and women from Los Gatos, United States. ME:
Caring, faithful, honest, sensitive, usually clean-shaven.
Smart, romantic, handy around the house.
No games. Play hard-to-get with someone I meet on a dating site? Sure, that makes sense.
I tip well at restaurants, say hi to janitors, smile at strangers. I'm nice, for real, not in the "So, what's he like? Um, yeah, he's nice." kind of way.
Chick flick or 3D IMAX Superhero movie, either one is fine, I just want to hang out, eat Junior Mints, and hold your hand.
Standard profile stuff: I like to travel and love great food, wine, music, and dark chocolate. I cherish my family and friends. I love animals. I like walks, hikes, and occasional camping trips. I think the last hundred profiles you read said the same thing, so let's move on.
I have a very challenging job and work hard because I love what I do. I'm proud of my achievements.
I like James Bond movies.
I can't wait to buy you flowers.
I am not passionate about "living life to its fullest" or "making the most out of every day". Sometimes I just sit on the couch in a t-shirt. You seriously don't do that, ever? Really, if you make the most out of every day, I mean every single day, you'll drive me batty. Let's just sit and eat pancakes sometimes, preferably delivered. (Do they deliver pancakes? If not, they totally should.)
One more thing about me: I am not an optimist, or pessimist, I'm a realist. Life has some amazing and beautiful moments, and some truly crappy ones, and then there's cleaning the fridge, sorting socks, and waiting in traffic. I don't "turn that frown upside down" but when life hands me lemons, I say: "Hey, free lemons". So let's wait in that traffic jam together, it will go just a little bit quicker.
YOU:
Low on drama, pure of heart. Affectionate, funny, smart, honest, generous.
You know what integrity is. You've got integrity. You want to be with a guy who has integrity. You'll sense a theme here.
No drugs or smoking. Sarcasm is not your primary mode of communication.
Bonus points if you like dogs and walking in the rain, but not both at the same time, because wet dogs smell bad.
US:
Equal partners in life. We work through problems together and sometimes get on each other's nerves but always respect each other and if we bicker we end it with a kiss. We connect with attraction & wit & laughter & spark. We're so deep in conversation we don't realize they're putting chairs on tables and closing up shop. We are partners, lovers, and best friends.
Date people from Los Gatos, United States. I love to laugh & think my sense of humor is one of my best qualities. I'm also a romantic at heart, but I keep that carefully hidden beneath my devil may care outlook.
I'm a natural adventurer...I live for new experiences and love to travel. I'm a Canadian export - I left Montreal about 5 years ago & have loved the California experience living in the SF Bay Area....I STILL feel like I'm on vacation.
I'm really tight with my family - which has been challenging, given that they're in Canada. I'm hoping to start one of my own at some point.
I have no idea who my perfect match is. I'm open to all possibilities. If she's confident, educated & comfortable with herself, that's a decent start. I'm upbeat most of the time & she hopefully feels the same way.
Meet men and women from California, United States. Have you heard of Cajuns before or seen Emeril Lagasse work his magic with Cajun food? Well, I'm not quite Emeril, but I can cook a great Gumbo. I come from a Cajun family and enjoy cooking a few family Cajun recipes or BBQing for friends. Don't worry I didn't grow up in a swamp. I moved out to California from the Chicago area over 10 years ago after college. By the way, no you don't find too many Cajuns from Chicago.
Okay let's continue with the resume, I'm a bit on the humble side so I'll keep this simple. I'm well educated and have a successful career in the tech industry and I'm now financially secure. I'm a confident, nice gentleman. I have a high degree of honesty and integrity (no game player here). I also have a humorous side and can be one of the funniest guys you've met once you get to know me.
As for what I like to do, well anything really. Let's go out on the town. We'll eat at a great restaurant and catch a show, perhaps dancing or a movie. We can just hang out and enjoy an afternoon or evening where I can get to know everything about you or take a spur of the moment road trip to, well, anywhere. I've travelled a bit for work and pleasure (France, China, Alaska, Hawaii, the Caribbean...) and would love to meet the right person to join me on future adventures to the South Pacific or the Mediterranean. I enjoy hiking and biking. I enjoy exploring nature as well as different cities and cultures. I also enjoy simple things like driving along the coast or just cuddling with a special lady while listening to the ocean or watching a movie.
I'm looking for that special lady to share adventures and develop a romantic and lasting relationship, a partner in life. She should have a confident and positive attitude on life and want to meet a caring man. She should be affectionate and enjoy trading a good back rub or being held close on romantic evenings (you can never get too much of that, right). Everything else we can take from there. I hope to hear from you soon.
Date someone special from California, United States. I see myself as a social person and love to meet new people. Family and friends, (and my dog Max) is where my life starts and ends. We should all work to enjoy the important things in life. (With that being said, I realize we all enjoy our quiet time).
I have been fortunate enough to travel a lot with previous jobs that allowed me to travel quite a bit. I spent 20 years in hi-tech and had the US and Canada as my territory. I was able to visit 40 states and most of the great white north. This past year I decided a change was needed. I now work for a local construction company and am enjoying the new learning exerience. I'm also able to work for one of my best friends and with an incredible group of people.
If you have traveled for work you know that it's not what everyone thinks. A lot of hotel and conference rooms. I would love to be able to go back and see a lot of the places I've been and "experience" the cities I've visited. I've have been to Asia, Europe, Mexico, Central America, but would be up for revisting them or seeing the rest of the world. Weekend trips are also something I more than look forward to.
I think of myself as a good person and aside from my family and close friends I can probably come up with a few references that would also agree. (If you ask for references please provide at least 1 week so I can make sure the payoffs are made)!
Meet single man from Los Gatos, United States. OK, I'm back here on Match after a few months; I did meet compatible partners before, so I'm here again. Let's see if I still know how this works. I'm not very good writing about myself, so you'll have to take a chance and e-mail me or talk to me on the phone or in person and I'll tell you anything you want to know. Read this all the way and you'll get a good idea about me.
I've done plenty of different things in many places and don't intend to. stop now. I have the most beautifull, preciouse, 8 year old twin girls that I absolutely adore. They live w/ my ex-wife who I have excellent relationship with. My girls spend every other weekend w/ me, and I try to see them as much as I can and I am very involved in their lives.
After living in a cute small house down town Los Gatos for a couple of years I decided to quit paying rent and bought a 36 foot sail boat on which I now live in Capitola. I lived on an Olive Ranch for the last 8 years prior, and still spend time and work at the ranch often. I'm planning to move back to Los Gatos at the end of September, and trade commuting time for exercise.
I take my work seriously, but I make sure to ta Planning toke the time and enjoy life.
I love company and the outdoors. I enjoy Mountain Biking, Running, Hiking etc, and it's available everywhere in this area.
I was married for 8 years, went through separation and divorce, changing jobs and places. Did a lot of "growing" and self discovery. I feel I am ready to find that woman, that friend, that Partner, the right one, to do life with and keep growing and discovering..
I am not looking for dates or one night stands, but rather for a commited relationship, but I've made friends here on match along the way.
I am pretty forward and don't hold much back, WYSWYG - what you see is what you get.
One important thing to me is to keep healthy and in good shape; I work at it and make it's an big part of my life, keeping me healthy and sane. It is important to me that my partner would have simillar priorities and be fit.
So if you say you are "Atheletic and Toned", please be so.
If you like what you read and think we may have a fit wink or email and I'll respond. Please don't be shy; I know you are out there...
Date a soulmate from United States. I'm an easy going guy who loves the outdoors, spending time with good friends, good food and great wine. I enjoy going to a nice restaurant, but also like a casual dinner in jeans and flip-flops. I'm not too shabby in the kitchen either and sometimes cooking at home for dinner and a movie on the couch is perfect. Dessert is my specialty! Making my own wine is a new hobby of mine. I am always up for going wine tasting. Checking out a vineyard or a restaurant that I haven't been to is my kind of adventure. I like working out, running, mountain biking, snowboarding, volleyball, scuba diving, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Respect and honesty are very important to me and finding someone who shares these values is what I am looking for. If any of this sounds interesting inquire within...
Meet a man from United States. Someone to take long walks on the beach with. I am looking for an independent woman with a sense of humor. She must love to travel and pay for her own way. Wine has to be a big part of our relationship.
Date men and women from United States. I am a very outgoing yet private person with a rock star appetite for fun. I have the personality of a kid that keeps people entertained and am very adaptive to any environment.The ideal woman will be a little bit of a party girl with a dark side, yet conservative on the outside. She likes a leisure but expensive lifestyle and enjoys the finer things in life.
Meet someone special from United States. Looking for someone to spend time with doing the things I love.
I work hard and play hard even though it sounds cliche.
On the weekend you will find me doing active things in general. It's not unusual for my weekend to not be planned in advance as I prefer to decide and go. Could be Tahoe, could be the beach, could be a new adventure. My friends would tell you that I am genuine and not into games because really who has the time for games.
As I turn 45 I find a new appreciation for quality time with people that interest me and enjoy what I enjoy.
Things I enjoy...
Falling snow - or the look of a lit cabin in a dark snowstorm
Sunshine - lots of it
The smell of a real fire - indoors or out
That feeling right after you workout when you aren't quite sure if it hurt or gave you energy
Being unplugged (really, we all work too hard so let's turn off the phones on our date shall we?)
My kids are a huge part of my life and I invest the time and resources it takes for them to have a great life and amazing experiences.
In general I am very easy going. I like to have a good time more than most. What is it they say about guys that keep having fun at any age? Doesn't really matter because I am going to live life all out and don't care if anyone passes judgement.
Would you judge a man by the things that make him happy in his spare time... skis, snowboard, wakeboard, mountain bike, road bike, ski boat, kayak, surfboards, etc etc - wouldn't it be more fun to enjoy these things together if we have them in common? Wouldn't it be fun to try something new together??
I think it would - what do you want to do for fun?

Meet single man from United States. I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME LIKE MY DOG DOES BABY
He never tells me that he's sick of this house
He never says, "Why don't you get off that couch?"
He don't cost me nothin' when he wants to go out
He never says I need a new attitude
Him and my sister ain't always in a feud
When I leave the seat up, he don't think that's rude
When I come home I want you to just go crazy
He never looks at me like he might hate me
He never acts like he don't care for my friends
He never asks me "Where 'n the hell have you been?"
He don't play dead when I want to pet him

He always thinks that pull my finger's funny
I want you to love me like my dog does baby.
I like fast boats, fast cars, fast motercycles, fast airplanes and fast.......
women? No I meant internet.
I am a well rounded and grounded man who can tackle all things. I can fix anything and I mean anything but at times it makes sense to just pay someone to do some of it. I have learned to have more balance and fun in life. You know time management and remembering what is most important to me. I lead a great team of engineers at work and it is always exciting and full of opportunities. (That?s what I call them. Some refer to them as problems ;-). I can be working in the garden or in the garage but then transform into a nice suit and be ready for a nice fun and exciting evening out. I have been told I clean up real good. Some of the activities I enjoy are in no particular order. Golf Fishing Skiing both snow and water Hunting Motorcycling Boating Travel Poker Auto racing Playing guitar Billiards Pinball Shuffleboard Offroading Camping and more. I will try and have tried many fun and challenging things and I tend to find if I like it I will work to master it and then once I do, or at least I think that I have it down pretty damn good. Then I move on to a new challenge. You never really master golf do you? Even Tiger has his moments. I know how to take care of the right woman. I am passionate, romantic, and funny and if I can?t make you belly laugh then I know you will just need a hug as you are in a bad or sad mood ;-)
BLA BLA BLA not in sales so enough of the pitch. I could be though. The rest of me is a mystery and you will need to take the ride to truly experience the rush. Get your E-ticket!
Really looking for that special woman who brings out the best in me.
I am not looking for the woman I can live with. I'm looking for the woman I can't live without.
So what can you offer a gentleman like me?
