Meet a soulmate from Manhattan Beach, United States. I'm originally from Chicago and have lived in Southern California most of my adult life. I'm easygoing, loyal, can laugh at myself, and will try anything twice. I'm a lawyer by day, but recently partnered with a friend to open a restaurant, which is my true passion. Looking for someone who leads a healthy lifestyle, is adventurous, ambitious, and can find humor in any situation.
Date someone special from Manhattan Beach, United States. My name is Ryan and getting on here is the most questionable thing I've done since buying Season 2 of The Golden Girls and watching it...twice. I grew up in the suburban 1970s and '80s, a time when Americans threw off the communal values of the 60s and embraced a new way of living. My working mom wore shoulder pads and a drove conversion vans retrofitted with heavy armor. I watched "CHiPS" without irony. Were you there? It was intense.
I spent my twenties at a profoundly geeky school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Here was a place where your roommate might conjugate verbs in Esperanto, out loud, while in the restroom. In other words, it was a great place and so I fought for my degrees and worked there full-time until 2007, when I moved back to California to plant roots and swing from the corporate ladder.
I'm very happy in Manhattan Beach. Here I make a decent living, play ice hockey three times a week, travel often, see the ocean whenever I want, and sleep in on the weekends. Earlier this year, I went on a diving trip to the Caribbean. I'm an avid reader, outdoorsman, armchair political expert (strictly liberal), and local music enthusiast. I live to pursue challenging stretch goals, from learning to fly airplanes to starting a company.
Professionally, I'm an online business leader/marketer and regularly do pro bono work for startups and friends - currently this has me working with a widely-loved, local musician. I love my rewarding career.
I'm a family guy. For starters, I come from a very close, supportive family and would like to meet people who can say the same. I also have a brilliant and hysterically funny 10-year-old son. His mom, her husband, and their one-year-old are among my very best friends and extended family (zero melodrama or dysfunction here). Being a father grounds me as an adult and is just plain fun.
I'm looking to meet someone who values the art of conversation. You take your career seriously and come from a solid family. You dream imaginatively about the future. You're up for getting a coffee or a drink. Hope to meet you and if not, wish you good luck in your search!
Meet people from Manhattan Beach, United States. Hello!
I have not been on here in so long (7/21/2012) nor read email, and was sure my membership was cancelled, but no! I have recently moved to S. Redondo but have lived in the S. Bay off and on for many years.
I have recently formed the foundations for the career of my dreams and I am thrilled about what the future holds. I would love to meet a great companion that enjoys sharing new things with me as I do him. I am looking to have fun in life and having the right partner to enjoy the happiest parts of it! *I do try to respond to most emails, but if I do not - please - do not take it personally. I am a nice person but unfortunately don't have all the time in the world to respond to every email that isn't a match for me. :)
I am creative person and I love learning something new all the time, I feel it keeps that creative spark alive. I love spending time with my close friends and their families on a Sunday evening in a beautiful garden backyard.... I like to enjoy a great evening at a gala event or beer and oysters. I want to keep having a great time in life while I look for a man who can keep up. Energy, kindness and a zest for life are a must. I have a strong spiritual side and like to keep my inner circle drama free. I'm originally from Texas so not only do I still have some two-step skills, but I'll get in the ocean or spend the night in a tent.
I am seeking friends and ultimately a great man who is confident and kind and in touch with his spiritual side, although 'religion' is not required- someone fit enough to get up in the morning to gather the firewood!! A man who knows how to create and execute the plans of his life and with whom I can savor the small moments in life as well as the dream vacations! Where is my Amazing Race partner?!!?! lol
