Date men from United States / California, 42 year old - page 7

Date single man from California, United States. Hey! I am just your basic hard working guy. I like to go boating, camping and off roading (all types of motorsports).I'm a creative type of guy who owns his own business. Looking for someone who is faithful, honest, respectful, and no arrest record. I am looking for someone to spend time with and some fun with. If your interested in talking or meeting give me a wink or an email.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I was a practicing attorney in California and hated every minute of it, so I decided to follow my bliss, my passion and am now a candidate for the PHD in Philosophy. I am an intensely driven person and forging a great career is my main focus in life, though I can be just as committed to building a loving and solid relationship, with the right girl. I've come to realize, rather late in fact, that for a man to not open up his heart and life to a woman, is perhaps to miss out on something: a deeper, richer, more spiritual existence.
Very little of enduring value lands on your lap out of nothing, ex nihilo; not freedom, success, individuality, nothing. One has to fight and struggle to create oneself, to make one's ideals and dreams become reality. As it is said in Spanish: "La vida es una Lucha." Before all the vicissitudes of Fortune and before all the precariousness that haunts that good fight, internalize and draw your strength from King Leonidas' words: "No retreat; no surrender, and that is Spartan Law. And by Spartan Law, we will stand and fight, and die." There is so much profound meaning to be had from that joyful struggle! Let's say yes to this dance of life, even though it hurts.
While Philosophy and Literature are the great passions of my life, I am not overbearing with them. In other words, I also enjoy talking about the weather. I also love and can't live without music--both rock n roll (The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Pearl Jam, Red Fang, Genghis Tron, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Metallica, Tool, Sevendust, Deftones, White Stripes, DURAN DURAN, BLACK TUSK, BARONESS, ISIS, NEUROSIS, ANIMALS AS LEADERS, CULT OF LUNA, KYLESA, MOUTH OF THE ARCHITECT, PELICAN, RUSSIAN CIRCLES, HORSEBACK, System of a Down, MONOTONIX!, JACK WHITE, etc.) and Classical (lately, I can't seem to get enough of Wagner's Der Ring des Nimbelungen; RAVEL; POULENC; DEBUSSY, SCHOSTACHOVICH). I spend lots of money downloading the most brilliant music, as my taste is impeccable. And I don't just enjoy music: it literally sends me into rapturous transports, inspiriting me with vistas of power, promise, profound beauty, and ideal possibility--and, with a heighten sense of the meaning of things...
Oh, and I own a five year old Yorkshire Terrier named Dewey, my buddy, my boy. His name comes from the great American thinker, John Dewey--on whom I am writing my dissertation, and who, in the words of Noam Chomsky, was "the greatest thinker of the twentieth century."
I'm the most fascinating man I know...

Date a man from California, United States. A little about me...
I grew up in Jersey, taught English in Prague and have lived in NY, London and St. Petersburg before moving to LA to run a software consulting practice.
In my free time I play guitar and take Krav Maga. I did the San Diego Rock n Roll half marathon last June for Team in Training. Last year I worked weekends as an assistant pastry chef but my consultant schedule made it difficult to stay on.
I'm a social liberal and a fiscal conservative.
Do we match?
I’m “outdoorsy” in the “let’s go diving in Hawaii” way more than the “let’s spend the weekend triathlon training” way.
I’m “adventurous” if you want a trip to Prague, the Australian rain forest or horseback riding on a volcano. But not so much if you want to climb Everest. I’d happily go on a snowboarding trip but probably wait for you at the lodge making dinner. Or maybe a snowman. Water skiing isn't a problem though.
And I'd much rather hold hands with you on a Ferris wheel than ride a roller coaster.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I'm very easy going. Spontaneous, adventurous and fun, tall dark and handy too. I love to do outdoors activities like camping, hiking, exploring, anything fun or just hanging out at home watching a movie and BBQ. I have a 21 year old daughter. I would like to meet someone who would like to go out and do some fun things, and see what happens from there.

Date single man from United States. I'm a normal guy, raised in the midwest/southwest by east coast parents. I'm fun, outgoing, a great listener, well-mannered (thanks Mom, lol), comfortable in nearly any situation. When I'm involved with a woman that sparks my interest, I tend to be really darned romantic
I genuinely want the best for the people around me, so I do go out of my way to try to be nice to people and make life's journey more pleasant for the people I can affect.
I'm respectful to those that deserve it. I'm kind, generous, serene and positive. I'm told I have great hands and give excellent massages.
Despite many years of experience with reality, I do maintain a strong sense of idealism, which gives me something to strive for. I'm patient, occasionally to a fault. I would proabably be "farther along" in life if I worked on being a bit more impatient. But I suppose that would put me closer to the end, wouldn't it?
As far as my match, I don't really have a "type". But I'm interested in spending time with women that are positive, attractive, secure, active, enthusiastic, balanced, fun and stable.
The women I find most attractive are genuine, strong, independent, caring and sensual. I'll adore your inner girly-girl if you can tolerate my inner caveman, haha.
Best wishes to you in your search.

Meet someone special from United States. Sarcastic, loyal, witty, and reasonably intelligent, seeking same. I guess I'm kind of an intellectual, but like to keep it fun. "Nothing is not funny" is one of the things I try to keep in mind (it's not very hard to do). My whiteboard at work reads "Never attribute to malice what can easily be explained by stupidity." Basically, cut people some slack and understanding-- we all need it at some time or another. I love to travel and write-- work hard and play hard. But I also like to just recharge sometimes at home or on a beach somewhere. I'm a good friend and listener, very thoughtful and creative. My match has a great sense of humor, that is to say, one compatible with mine-- witty, dry, often sarcastic, but with a twinkle in the eye. She's compassionate-- grateful for the life she's been able to experience, and understanding towards those less fortunate. She's smart and will challenge and appreciate me intellectually. And she has a great sense of adventure-- wants to learn and experience, whether it's a new country, a new food, a new idea, or new friends. I grew up in a pretty simple family and place, but some overseas travel and waiting tables in Napa Valley opened up whole new worlds to me. A foodie (but not snobby, depending on whom you ask), and I like to think I can turn a clever phrase and love someone who appreciates it and can give me a taste of my own medicine.

Date a man from United States. Aloha,
I'm a fun down-to-earth guy living in the East Bay just looking to meet new people and expand my already super awesome circle of friends. Yes, a new lover is always nice, but I what I really want to find is my best friend for what's left of this beautiful existence that I'm lucky enough to experience. I deeply believe that love -- and all the entanglements surrounding it -- is fluid in nature and thus is forever evolving. Hence, I am seeking a very open minded person who is looking for the same. Ideally, I celebrate your independence and respect your abilities and strengths. But you also recognize my need to be the man in your life: the one who opens doors for you, pays for your dinner, and is there to support your not-so-strong qualities as well. Put another way, you value "inter-dependence" and see me as much as an equal partner as I do you.
I'm still a kid at heart, but I'm for sure a grown-up. I work a lot and am very busy building my future so I don't have time for games or drama. I'm done with clubs and bars and the 'scene'. I am: responsible, loyal, trustworthy, very open and honest about a lot of things (sometimes painfully so), hard-working, career focused, mature, respectful, passionate and values-driven, ambitious (but not for material wealth), and an all around awesome guy (for the right woman).
I value: kindness, compassion, empathy, ethics OVER morality, love, education (more specifically, the desire to always learn), open-mindedness, kindred spirits, youthful souls, a flexible disposition, innate curiosity, and a diplomatic approach to conflict resolution.

"They say that the shortest path between two points is a straight line. But what happens if that path gets blocked? When sediment impedes the flow of a river, it redirects… zigging and zagging instead of follwoing a straight course. What looks to the crow like meandering, is to the water the most efficient route from source to outlet. Nature finds a detour.
When two points are destined to touch, but a direct connection is imposible… the universe will always find another way.
If two points are destined to touch … the universe will always find a way to make the connection. Even when all hope seems lost … certain ties cannot be broken. They define who we are. And who we can become. Across space … across time … along paths we cannot predict … nature always finds a way.”
From "Touch"

thanks for stopping by and remember to smile at least once today. ;-)
cheers

. I'm a San Diego native who lives a healthy lifestyle with plenty of variety. Spending time with family/friends and finding pleasure in the simple things in life are of value to me. I have an optimistic, positive and enthusiastic approach towards life, as well as being kind/giving/generous with others. I have a good sense of humor too. Spending time exploring new places in and around town keeps life interesting and fun. I enjoy exercising down by the ocean or even a hike somewhere in town. I'm spontaneous, affectionate, compassionate and value communication, especially being a good listener. Some interests include visiting places such as Coronado, La Jolla, Balboa Park or downtown, being near the ocean, traveling within the U.S. or internationally, home improvement, a day trip to the mountains or a road trip up the coast (Laguna Beach, Santa Barbara, Big Sur and Carmel are a few favorites), watching sunsets, and a variety of other things. I'm open to new experiences and creating good memories. I balance my time between a fun and active personal life, and a fulfilling career doing something meaningful. There's so much to enjoy in life and I look forward to sharing it all with someone special.
I look forward to meeting a woman with a solid foundation of values and a balanced lifestyle. She's clear with her intentions and truly ready to welcome someone special into her life and settle down. It's very important that she has time to spend together so that the initial connection and chemistry can be nurtured and grow. I believe the beginning foundation shapes the future and being on a similar path is essential, one in which we're having fun while learning from each other and growing together through various life experiences. She values communication and enjoys being spontaneous, with a good sense of humor and a playful, gentle spirit. A solid base of family values and an optimistic outlook on life are also important. She has a sense of adventure to explore new places together and can equally enjoy relaxing at home, enjoying each other's company. Learning from life and each other, and being supportive of one another will give us a solid foundation for a long-term, meaningul and fun relationship, full of great memories along the way, while also being able to deal with the ups and downs of life.
