Date men and women from United States / California / Manhattan Beach, 37 year old

Date men and women from California, United States. Looking for a very self confident woman who doesnt go with the crowd or worry about fitting in, an independent personality who would be a solid team player and life partner. Someone who values their faith and spiritual growth, has a career/hobbies they are passionate about, and is heavily into physical fitness and personal development...never satisfied, always wanting to edify themselves...gotta have passion for life, friends, family, and want a family of your own and kids to love on as the priority. Someone who would make me step up my game in life and become a better person continually. Make me grow, break my balls when need be, and kick me in the tail when need be.
Please be stable with healthy relationship patterns in your life, family, friend, and dating wise. Not interested in those rebound dating or emotionally recovering from anything negative. Be happy with yourself and thankful for who you are without needing a man to fill in the voids where others have hurt you.
Im not your metrosexual/Don Juan wanna be cool guy LA/OC type. I have a robust personality and sense of humor, but am old school and an old soul. Very down to earth, not trying to impress or fit in. I could be handed 5 million tomorrow, my wardrobe, vehicles, friends, and social life wouldnt change. Id just hook up my family and close friends so they didnt have financial worries,start some non profits to help causes I believe in. Im more of a Lynard Skynard's "Simple Man" or Brad Paisley "Im Still a Guy"...A truck, Jeep, blue jeans or workout clothes, a ball cap, Im good to go.
I am financially secure, and although I have additional career goals I desire a family life more at this stage in the game. If I had the right woman to marry and crank out some Division One babies (hah), Id make my wife and future little NFL and Navy Seal babies my priority (and if they are girls making sure Im still yoked when im in my 50s so I can intimidate the little boys). FYI if I ever have kids Ill love and nourish them whatever their interests and goals are, so dont take me too seriously. We all should support and encourage anyone we cross in our lives to be authentic to their own self discovery and to pursue dreams of their own.
I want someone to serve and grow closer to God with.
Me: No ink, rarely drink (partied and drank like a rock star middle school through early college and got it out of my system), not into drugs (never even tried weed), hate the bar scene, value education and spirituality over pretty much all else, come from solid family life and upbringing (mom and dad married 44 years and still in love), tons of "best friends", mentors, a strong network of wonderful people in my personal and professional life all over the country. Willing to move wherever and not sure where I will eventually settle down. I am a workout addict and live to train so will be squatting and power cleaning my old body into the grave, I will always strive to lead a fit lifestyle, eat healthy and would love someone who strives for the same. If I dont lift once a day and do a fight class I get nutty! I also love books, magazines and read like my life depends on it.
Deal breakers: not a practicing Christian (Catholic preferably but I am very ecumenical and love all my sisters in Christ), heavy drinking, drug use, drama, psycho ex boyfriends or ex husbands, unresolved emotional issues, materialistic, superficial in any manner, not spiritually and emotionally mature, or if bar hopping on weekends is your idea of a stimulating social life. If you judge men by the cars they drive, clothes they wear, or their salary (especially if you list requirements for salary in dating preferences), I think that is just as shallow as judging people by the color of their skin or ethnicity. I value faith, heart, intelligence, wisdom, passion, character, integrity, individuality, and education but think people need to pursue their calling and heart regardless of income bracket.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I appreciate a person that's bright and has a good sense of humor. A caring and good person that compliments me and is a great companion. Maybe we can use this as an opportunity to get to know each other. If there's something there, I'm sure we'll spend some quality time together.

Date someone special from California, United States. I'm a very down to earth guy and I know what I want out of life. I also know there are always several ways to go about achieving it. I have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and strong desire to excell in life. I need someone who can keep up with me mentally and physically. I stay active by playing sports, weight training and running. A woman with similar athletic habits certainly could appreciate where I'm coming from. However, the bottom line is fun and relaxation. I try to maximize my quantity of both anyway I can, and I would love to have someone to maximize them with :)I want a woman who is confident, honest, uninhibited, and intelligent to say the least. No games, just be direct and assertive. I would like her to love herself as much as she loves life. I'm just looking for someone with similar interests that can find time to pull herself away from her daily routine and have some fun! We could go out dancing or stay in for a game of chess and intense conversation. Friends first, more to come later.

Meet a woman from California, United States. The simple things in life make me happy really. I can be a little old fashioned when it comes to dating, but I'm pretty open-minded in life. I've been called warm, genuine, easy-going, caring, honest, loyal and down-to-earth. Since I'm looking for quality over quantity, I wouldn't settle just to be in a relationship. I'm not on here looking to date a bunch of guys, just trying to find one. If I could meet someone real, honest, affectionate, down-to-earth and easy-going, attractive (to me of course) with a sense of humor and realistic expectations, that would be great!
So I actually just turned 44. I changed it because based on my real age I seem to get a lot of responses from people that look like they could be my dad!
Timing can have a lot to do with relationships. I have no ex's or past relationships hanging around, so my timing is great ;). I'm independent but know how to let someone take care of me. No one is perfect so I try to accept people as they are instead of trying to change them. I'm looking to have the kind of relationship where we share the same morals and values, have great communication, mutual respect and attraction for each other, and want the same things in life. For me, the best kind of relationship is where I'd rather do nothing with you than do anything else with anyone else! We don't necessarily have to share the same interests as it's more important to me who you are as a person :).

Date people from California, United States. Ok - I know, I don't have any bathing suit pics, or something else showing how sexy my t and a are, but dont you worry, I've got it.
On to more important things now. I'm a smart, quirky, witty, cute girl who wants what everyone on this site wants, to spend my money on a dating site and get nothing out of it. Hahaha. Just kidding around. More about me -- I'm genuine, I know how to say "oops my fault". I know how to be sexy and sultry, smart and sassy, and sincere and sweet. I love to laugh, and make others laugh. I like to be spontaneous, I love to learn and try new things, and I love being a great friend -- trustworthy, considerate, and non-judgemental.
Im a hard working gal, love my job but that means I get fairly intense about it. I make meds for babies/kids (No I'm not a drug dealer, I work at a hospital), so I take it very seriously. I'm currently applying for my Masters in Public Health at UCLA, keep your fingers crossed for me. (Update as of 4-25: I was accepted!!)
I'm looking for a normal guy, not saying he can't be quirky himself, but normal, as in not selfish or not into game playing or control seeking. A nice, mature, emotionally available, responsible man with a great sense of humor that knows who he is and what he wants. I prefer a man that knows how to fix things around the house, can cook more than just use a microwave, is healthy, smart, has a good upbringing, and is as comfortable with going out to a fine restaurant as he is hanging out at a local hole in the wall bar. A casual dresser that has some style, but not metro or a slob. He should know how to take care of me and know how he wants to be taken care of, afterall a relationship is a two way street. He must know how to communicate, deal with emotion, and be open to new opinions, thoughts, ideas, and things to do. Just as much as he is open, I will be open to what he has to show and teach me.
I think I want what everyone wants, the real thing, true love, and a best friend -- all in one!
Oh, since it seems to be the email topic I keep getting, I promise, if we get to chatting, the strawberry will make sense. :)
Talk soon....
