Date men from United States / California / Marina del Rey, 43 year old

Date someone special from Marina del Rey, United States. Tell me with only one shot at catching your interest amongst the multitude of e-mails and winks that come your way, it's not easy knowing what to write here. I could leave out something important we have in common and then I've missed my chance. And that's really what it all comes down to, chance. Right? So if by chance something I've written piques your interest or makes you quietly say to yourself "me too", it would be great to hear from you.
Smelling the ocean before you see it. Watching a dog be a dog. Reading something that could change the course of history or simply discovering that you aren't alone in your thoughts. Saving someone from embarrassment by taking it on yourself. Breath-taking views in foreign lands. The tranquility of dusk as the sun sets and the sky turns to a kaleidoscope of colors only nature can create. Crossword puzzles or scrabble at the beach. Surfing, but not being a surfer, dude. Hearing live music in small clubs or under the stars. Movies and theater that captivate your thoughts and test your emotions. Being true to your word. Margaritas under the sun. Exercising outdoors. Focusing on what you have instead of what you don't. Laughing at yourself. Knowing you can handle whatever life challenges you with. Preparing a home cooked meal. Fresh flowers. Big juicy red wine and dark chocolate. PDA because you can't help yourself. The smell of sun and sea that perfumes you after a day at the beach. Squishing mud, sand, grapes, or grass between your toes. Walking instead of driving. Communicating with a foreigner despite speaking different languages. Helping someone in need. Surprising someone with thoughtfulness. Knowing your friends won't let you down. Thunderstorms and lightening viewed from a dark room with the smell of rain wafting through the open window. Art because of the way it moves you solely. And most of all, being able to share these and the countless other joys in life with someone dear.
Lastly, I believe understanding, humor, perspective, and trust are the bedrock of a lasting partnership where two people are each others biggest supporters and confidants. That shared philosophy is what I’m looking for in a Match. I hope that if you are someone who appreciates what I've said you won't hesitate to write to me if I haven't discovered your profile first.
more about yourself!

Meet single man from Marina del Rey, United States. Where to start?... I've just relocated to LA, from NJ, for my company. While I feel blessed to have a great job, I'm even more blessed to have amazing family and friends. Since this is only my second time to CA, I'm looking very forward to exploring all that it has to offer. Those closest to me describe me as active, dedicated to family and friends, brave, loving, smart, dependable, spontaneous, and adventurous.
During a typical day, I enjoy activities, like cycling, running, golfing, or dancing (mainly WCS, salsa, 2-step). For vacation, I am normally either some place for scuba diving / snorkeling / boating / surfing, or skiing / snowboarding. Now that I'm in LA, I'm looking forward to sharpening my surfing skills. I know.... That's what all the east coast transplants say, but "When in Rome..." right? Maybe surfing will even become a part of normal life, rather than a something I attempt, during vacation. May even get into volleyball, again...anyone know where I can find an open net? Lol. Okay. What else? So many things that I want to do, now that I'm in So Cal. Plan to visit: Yosemite, tour the PCH, Napa, other wine country, Tahoe, hike the Grand Canyon (been there, but only for that Chevy Chase moment), go rafting on the Colorado River, Sequouia, San Diego, and Pebble Beach.... That's a pretty good list to start with, don't you think? Yikes. I sound like such a tourist. If any of this sounds interesting, maybe you should join me.
I'm looking for chemistry, like most on this site. What will lead to that with me? You can be spontaneous, when it makes sense. We like similar activities. You are open to new experiences, and may have a few new ones you can introduce me to. Hopefully, we'll share similar views, but some differences are healthy. You enjoy a good intellectual conversation, or debate, as I do, whether it be over dinner, over cocktails, or laughing at each other...I mean with each other.

Date a man from Marina del Rey, United States. Moved to Los Angeles from London about 2 years ago and really enjoying it here. I think i'm here for the long term now and prior to moving here spent a year working in Moscow, which was a great experience but glad i'm here and not there. I live in a great apartment in Marina Del Rey and enjoying the California sun and lifestyle. I already have a green card, so dont panic, you can relax, that's not my motive for being on here! I've got into horseriding since i've ben here and i also enjoy cycling along the beach...want to join me? I'm pretty confident, ambitious, hate compromising anything in life, independent and like a challenge. I'm looking to meet interesting and attractive women in the LA area for fun, friendship, dating and who know's what else. Open minded as to who i will meet and what will happen, but it would be great to meet somone special. I'm hard on the outside, but soft on the inside ....for anyone who dares to find out. I like to think i'm fun to be around, reliable and a happy person. I work in the travel industry, which i have done all my career, its a great business because its a fun product and i've been lucky to have had some great experiences and travelled a lot as a result. I like many things especially Formula 1 which no one seems to have heard of over here, keeping up with the footy (Soccer - English Premier League) and travelling - love to see and experience different cultures, people and places from weekends away, a new city, beaches and adventures, So if you think you might like to find out more, have a drink, dinner maybe, email me.
