Date single man from California, United States. First, the required cliches: I like to dress down in jeans and dress up in black tie. I like quiet nights at home and big nights on the town. I am comfortable camping or at a 5-star hotel. I am even comfortable camping in a 5-star hotel - give me two chairs and a bedspread and I can make a pretty mean tent fort. I like to work out, travel, go to the beach, play with monkeys, etc.
People say I'm smart, funny and pretty mellow, then I'd pay them $5 like I promised. I believe in opening doors for women and all that jazz. I'm pretty handy around the house and can lift heavy objects. You can usually drag me to a chick flick with few complaints (except for Magic Mike, you're on your own for that one), but if you'd rather watch sports I'm not going to object.
Other random facts:
* Life has taught me that two wrongs don't make a right, but that three rights do make a left.
* Whoever said "dance like no one is watching" has never seen me dance when I thought no one was watching.
* If you had me at "hello", you lost me at "I live in a studio apartment with my 47 cats."
* Cilantro is an evil condiment that the world would be better off without.
* I just turned 40 this summer. My friends would say I don't look a day over 68, but that's just because they're jerkfaces. Others often tell me I look young for my age but 40 is the real number. So far I've managed to resist buying a Harley and dating college girls.
* I am not a huge fan of having my picture taken (the bear insisted). There are probably more good photos of the Loch Ness Monster than there are of me.
* I won a local spelling bee in junior high. In related news, I didn't get my first girlfriend until I went away to college.
* I think I'm smarter than the average bear. Then again, the average bear can't read English and sucks at math so maybe that's not much of an accomplishment.
* If you put a gun to my head, I'd rather lay around in bed on a Sunday with my girl than get up and watch football. But I'd also be mad that you put a gun to my head - I have a strict "no guns in bed" policy. Handcuffs, on the other hand...
So, overall I think I'm pretty great, but why take my word for it? Let's see what the experts are saying:
"Do you know if JTW619 happens to be a masseur?" -- John Travolta
"I would have stayed married to JTW619 for at least 73 days." -- Kim Kardashian
"One day I hope to live up to the example JTW619 has set." -- The Dos Equis Guy
"JTW619 better hope he doesn't run into me in a dark alley." -- Cilantro
So about you: You're a PhD supermodel who likes sports and beer. Or maybe you're just a smart, independent girl with a sense of humor who "gets it" (or maybe you're both). I don't believe in high-drama relationships but I am looking for someone who will participate and have opinions. I'm pretty happy on my own but know that things are better when you're in the right relationship. Sound good? I don't send too many e-mails on this thing, so feel free to send a wink, smoke signal, flag me down on the street, toss me a business card at a stoplight, etc.

Date someone special from California, United States. I travel for work on occasion, but otherwise love new experiences, peoples, places... Never married, no children... Active volunteer, social, and athletic. Dinners and fine wine... or a Belgian Ale... We'll laugh ordering the wrong foods together.
Devoted friend and close with family (many still live on the east coast)... I'd rather continue this in person... If you surf, golf, play volleyball, sail or simply pursue your own passions... there's even more to chat about.
Meet a man from California, United States. I am one of the lucky ones. I’ve had the opportunity to pursue my dreams. First was playing baseball, then getting my masters and now working in the sports field as a statistician. I get to do what a lot of boys dream of – go to each game of the World Series every year. For a long time my dream job was enough, but now I want more. I am very content but I now look forward to the next chapter of my life which I hope is finding the right woman and starting a family.
I am looking for a woman who first and foremost is comfortable in her own skin. I think there’s something really sexy about a girl who doesn’t feel she has to wear makeup all the time, will sit with me at my favorite breakfast place on a Saturday morning in a hoodie and ponytail trying to decipher the crossword puzzle not worrying that someone might see her dressed down. I’m looking for someone who hopefully has done what I have in the last few years and really looked at how they approach the world and have tried to be a better person every day. I also hope to find someone who looks forward to becoming a mom and raising a family. I have seen my friends start families and I have no doubt that being a good mom is one of the hardest jobs in the world but I’m looking for someone who is up for the challenge, and I am confident I can be a great father. I want to be a husband and father that my wife will be proud of. I have a witty sense of humor and I would love to meet a girl who I can make laugh but who also can hit me with a one-liner that will make me fall in love with her all over again. I have many friends that I've known for 20 years or more and I hope the woman I falll in love with has also had the joy of great friendships. There really is nothing sexier than a smart, kind woman. If that is you, I hope we can meet and see if there is any chemistry. What do we have to lose?
Date a soulmate from Manhattan Beach, United States. I moved here ten years ago from Chicago and have fallen in love with California. I still have my midwest family values and consider myself genuine, honest, down to earth, easy going yet outgoing, and a reliable partner. I love anything to do with the beach, from relaxing on the sand to kayaking, snorkeling, or swimming in the ocean.
Meet people from Manhattan Beach, United States. I consider myself a happy and fun loving person who looks forward to living each day. I'm looking for someone who is confident and comfortable with themselves. They must have a good heart and a happy soul. I'm not your typical guy!
I truly believe beauty and brain combined to make a woman sexy and attractive. Therefore, I became a well educated, well traveled,successful, balanced and adventurous. I can carry conversation around all topics, and make everyone around me laugh and feel comfortable. I love being around people of all ages. Especially children and old people too! I find there is so much to be learned by people and their experiences.
Beauty is only skin deep, but most often starts with physical attraction. In the end, relationship is about to have an intellectual connection with someone, who you share common interests, similar family values and compatible personality.
I'm looking for a partner who is ready for a meaningful relationship and is curious to explore the world together. We can hope and trust together, grow and learn together.
If you love outdoor activities, travel, investment, cooking, hiking,exploring different cultures and great food, we might be a match.
I want to find that special woman who motivates me to be a better person. I am a people pleaser and love taking care of and pampering my partner. I enjoy showing my love and affection to my partner. Holding hands, a gentle touch an unexpected kiss!!
Wanting to have stimulating conversation and being able to be fully at ease with the person who I have unequaled trust with. Laughter is a must and my partner must have a great sense of humor and have a kind and happy inner spirt.
I'm an easy going person and don't sweat the small stuff.
Ups and downs are a part of life and I believe its important to control ones own destiny. Learn to make the best of any situation and I believe positive results will develop.
Date men and women from Manhattan Beach, United States. YOU ARE: nice, happy, good attitude, active/healthy. That's it...I'll start with that! There's a lot more but if you like the presentation, inquire within.
I'm not looking for someone to adapt to my life style. At this point, we are who we are. We are independent creatures that complement each other. Common hobbies/activities would be great but not necessary. Let's date, have fun and see where it goes!
Meet single man from Manhattan Beach, United States. I am a Midwestern man.....living in L.A. and looking for my soul mate. I hope to find my best friend. Someone who believes in love and in family......who is loyal because I will be. She is authentic, lives a healthy and organic life. She is kind to others. And she likes to laugh. Is it you?? Where have you been?? I have been looking all over the world for you............
PS: I am really 47 so you know----just wanted to be sure you found me!
Date someone special from Manhattan Beach, United States. Geez....its crazy that so much of the world has come to the internet! I haven't been on here much, so here it goes...I guarantee that this will be interesting and fun.
So what I am looking for is a woman with goals, who has a direction in life, who likes to really live life, likes to have fun and most of all laugh. I am looking for the woman that wants to spend time with her love interest, but that can also go in a her own direction at a party and still feel secure that I am with her. I would support my mate in all that she puts her heart and soul into, and hope that she would do the same for me. I guess, "someone to kiss, someone to miss", hahaha....if you can get that funny movie quote, then we could be a match.
As for me, I am a bit of a nutty guy who has goals in both career and love. Also, I am straight forward and honest to a fault. I laugh alot, whether it be at myself or anyone else. An example would be stopping to laugh and point at my best friend in the middle of the mall food court during Christmas, because he slipped and fell on a ketchup packet! It still makes us double over laughing.
I have a serious side and a romantic side. There is nothing better than just being with the woman you love, looking in her eyes while she feels the warmth of my embrace and kissing each other with both tenderness and passion. I really enjoy cooking, watching movies, but I also like to go to cheer for my Chargers at a bar with friends. Family is the most important thing in my life. I have a small family here, so I consider those that know me best as my family. I will do anything for my family. I also have twin nephews that are absolutely gorgeous, crazy and pain in the butt...but I love them w all that I am.
I haven't had the chance to travel much, but I hope to visit Italy and Greece soon! Though I have traveled extensively through the US, with Kailua, HI, NY and Boston being my favorite destinations. The people in Hawaii are so "go with the flow" and east coast people are just like me, straight forward.
Other than that, I love to smile and enjoy lifes little pleasures, like the calmness of a sunset, the smell of the first rain, the feel of the grass on my bare feet and the happiness of fireworks on the 4th of July. I can cook, but like to try new places to eat. I love watching movies and reading suspense novels.
So, lets laugh and have some fun....for the long term!
Meet a man from Manhattan Beach, United States. I had a joke to start my profile, but it seems jokes don't come across as we always want so I did some contemplating. Came up with this:
“I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it — I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. - Virginia Satir
It reminds me that I don't have to be everything to many but I want to be something to someone. Writing a profile here is the same. It's better to write it for the one person I am looking for, not everyone who I'm not looking for.
I am looking to meet someone who shares (and adds to) my values while also complementing each others passions in life.
My values: Zest for life, Honesty, integrity, mutual respect, philanthropic, forgiving, and most important: ability to communicate effectively and empathetically.
The person I am looking for would say:
I am in a great place in life and loving the journey, I am hot, smart, sexy, take care of myself, know that anything in life is possible, and don't have enough baggage that I could start my own brand. And I totally want to see Shawn tonight!
And to all you extremely, too busy to date people, if you are too busy to date (or dating too many people at once) I'm not you're guy. I'm financially stable, have time on my hands, lots of airline points, a great place at the beach, fun, supportive, and looking for someone ready to build a life together.
NARROWING DOWN THE SEARCH:
Every profile should have the standard FILTERS. Mine are:
I'm a foodie and have tried, but can't date vegetarians.
I'm athletic. Want to share at least one athletic thing with my wife. Running, volleyball, tennis, biking or I'm open. Not sure about yoga yet.
Lastly, I am an avid wine collector. So enjoying wine and wine tastings is important. Sorry non-drinkers.
The rest of my profile gives you more details so I'll stop writing now. I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes by Maya Angelou. I love this quote because so many times we think we can change someone or we can make someone be something they aren't and we waste much time. This rings true in dating.
“The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them.”
