Date a soulmate from Ocean Beach, United States. I am an adventurous young, “brotha” from the Dutch Caribbean and I live in Silver Spring MD on the Washington DC line. I will be relocating to the San Diego area shortly. I moved to the US in 1998 though I’ve been around the US since I was a kid. I’m a highly out-door individual and I’m up for almost anything that gives a rush. Things I like doing include: Scuba diving, spear fishing, water sports in general, hiking, horseback riding, camping, range shooting, I’m a drag race fan for both cars and motorcycles, biking, running, tennis, weight lifting, soccer, baseball...and the list goes on. I also like dancing to music such as: reggae, hip hop, salsa, merengue, bachata, and zouk. When I’m not running around or engaged with activities or at some happy hour I’m at home reading an empowering book. II’m also a news junky, lol. Politics is also growing on me. I also like crime series such as NCIS, Suits, Law and order, first 48, horror and comedy movies. While at home I crave peace and tranquility which balances my aggressive out-door life style. I’m always down for a movie or dinner with family or friends. Of course I can’t exclude a Heineken or a glass of wine while cracking jokes with my peeps. I have kept a very small circle of friends for a long time though I’m working on expanding in this area. I also like making spontaneous trips to NYC, Atlantic City, VA Beach, Ocean City, Miami Beach and other fun cities and sites. I’m very excited to move to the San Diego area where a few friends of mine reside. I’ve recently returned to school (Jr.) in pursuit of my accounting degree and CPA while I’ve been holding down a real estate career since 2005. I believe I have the best of both worlds since I enjoy the US and I also get to retreat to the Caribbean once the cold makes its entrance at the end of the year. I have a daughter back home in the Curacao though there is no baby-mama drama to deal with. I would love to meet and settle down with a nice, smart, versatile, outgoing and positive young lady. I prefer the 25-38 range due to my 50/50 desire to still have kids, though I will not limit myself to those parameters. With the right woman anything is possible. I’m a multi-cultural brother and I also speak four fluent language to include Spanish, Dutch, my native language and beginners French. I’m confident, independent, committed, responsible though I remain humble. Life's tough lessons has thought me to always remain humble and not judge others until I walk a mile in their shoes. I'm still missing that special woman in my life. I love strong and deep and will do almost anything for my queen. Things I will do for her: Cook despite not being too much into cooking, bath her, massage her on a regular, bring her flowers, tickle her, make her laugh, motivate her, protect her, appreciate her, show her all my love and just spoil and romance her as frequent as possible. I love affection, it's my # 1 love language. I have no problem showing my affection in public. I’m a true believer in keeping the spark in a relationship by doing a variety of activities and not get stuck in boring routines. I do have my habits and quirks and I've made my fare share of mistakes in the past. I have since learned and matured into a young man and I'm ready to become one with that special woman . If I sound like the type of man you like and you also have many similarities, don’t hesitate to contact this international brotha!!
Meet men and women from Ocean Beach, United States. I am a connoisseur of good times who believes that to live is to change. I am constantly exploring new environments, both locale and social. I am comfortable with myself and enjoy talking to all types of people. I'd rather laugh than argue; my friends know me to always have a smile on my face. I hope to spend time with someone who has a similar outlook on life, I don't have much patience for negativity.
I am an accomplished electrician and take pride in doing good work. I'm not afraid to admit what I don't know, and I'm capable in finding solutions and pursuing knowledge. My laid-back approach to life means I can find happiness in most everything, from day-to-day routines to once-in-a-lifetime adventures.
I'm looking for a friend, a partner-in-crime, a sounding board, a lover, someone to share in the adventure. I value honesty and loyalty and tend to give more than I receive.
Date single man from Ocean Beach, United States. I'm an East Coast transplant, moved to California over 11 years ago; originally from Delaware and am now loving life in San Diego. I've lived in Santa Cruz, Sacramento and LA, but my heart is in San Diego. My friends would say that I am a very positive person and always laughing. I love to make people laugh, which is why I'm also a stand up comedian. I'm very loyal, affectionate, not in to playing games, and have no problem speaking my mind. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I have a great career that I enjoy, lots of personality and I'm always fun to be around. I'm a great friend, lover and a man of my word. I really feel awkward/conceited writing about myself. lol.
Chivalry is not dead, and doors should be opened for ladies. I would enjoy spending time with a woman that's confident, fun, open, loves life, honest, intelligent, and can enjoy evenings in watching a movie as much as a night out. My special someone is comfortable spending the morning lounging in PJs, the afternoon on the beach in jeans and flip-flops, and an evening in heels and a dress.
Meet a man from Ocean Beach, United States. I am originally from San Diego and moved back home a year ago after 16 years in Seattle. Its been an amazing year reconnecting with my childhood home. It feels so great to be back living on the south coast and the opportunity to re-appreciate the stuff I took for granted as a kid.
I am fun, friendly, sincere and honest with an adventurous heart. I am articulate, intelligent, witty and can crack you up with my story telling skills. I am confident, comfortable in my own skin and am happy with the person I have become. Hardworking and driven in my career. On my days off I like to spend time at the beach with friends, eating SD's yummy grub, playing with my dog, long bike rides/skateboarding trips. Not much of a bar person however I do go out and see live music as much as I can. Another great perk of our city.
Traveling is a big love of mine and I love experiencing new cultures. I've been told that I have a knack for picking up the local language and have superb navigation skills. I haven't traveled abroad as of late, new home and job and all. I am looking to change that come fall/winter.
Date men and women from California, United States. I am a really laid back guy and I love to have fun and treat people with respect. I love to be around fun people that like to laugh and have a good time. I am on the go a lot but take the time to enjoy life. I am at the point in my life where I am ready to meet a great woman and enjoy life.
Meet single man from Ocean Beach, United States. I'm a professional: Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, adjunct professor, consultant, and inventor in the field of "green" energy systems.
I'm 45, 6'3", 196 lb, and I would think "athletic and toned".
I grew up in Dallas, got all my degrees at Texas AM Univ., then worked 5 years in San Jose where I loved sailing on SF Bay and hiking and snowboarding at Lake Tahoe. I moved to San Diego in 2000 for another job and to enjoy all this locale has to offer: sun, ocean, climate, scenery, Balboa Park, Little Italy, Gaslamp,.....
I have two beautiful children (they take after their mom) who are healthy, and very bright. They are the legacy of my 9 year marriage to Jennifer, who was taken from me by cancer in 2008 when she was only 42.
Obviously, we're a package deal, my children and I. My kids have a beloved nanny 2-3 afternoons and evenings each week, which allows me to get more RD done, as well as enjoy the company of friends, and to spend time with that special someone if she comes into my life.
WHO I'D LIKE TO MEET:
The type of woman I would like to meet would be tall or even very tall, svelte and athletic, intelligent, educated, and sharp witted. She would be mature, self-confident, kind, and love children - no surprises there.
She would be a Christian, perhaps Catholic, or "spiritual but not religious" if that means Christian but perhaps not a member of any congregation.
She should maintain a healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise, recreation, mental stimulation) that she is intent upon keeping up with for life, just as I do. It would be great if she enjoys the outdoors, especially the ocean, and enjoys traveling, particularly to the tropics and Europe.
I'd also like to take her to symphony concerts, museums, and other authentic (not pop) cultural venues. I'm quite a good cook, and enjoy having friends over for dinner, and hope she would be similarly sociable.
MY KIDS:
Anthony is 9, quite tall, wiry, reserved yet goofy sometimes. He's keenly observant and a deep thinker with a very organized and categorical mind (like his engineer dad if I may say so). He plays chess and he's good at it. He's a whiz at laser tag, often winning against dozens of teens and twenty-somethings. He loves track (he's fast in the 1/4, 1/2, 1 mile) and basketball, and is determined to be in the NBA.
Rachel is 7, very tall, lean, and muscular even at her age. Envision a future beach volleyball player - or Amazon. She too excels in her studies, and shows artistic talent. She's starting basketball; maybe she'll get a full ride scholarship to a great college. She's (too) clever, sweet, and a girlie-girl with a huge personality to match her stature.
I am extremely fortunate that God entrusted them to my care, and I pray every day for the wisdom, patience, and firmness yet gentleness to raise them right.
MY PLANS:
They're old enough now and good enough swimmers for me to start taking them on sailing and snorkeling trips in the tropics (Hawaii, Virgin Islands, Caymans, Tahiti,...), where I can do some SCUBA diving, and the kids too when they reach 10. Have you ever tried SCUBA? Or sailing?
I've also gotten them started on snowboarding at Big Bear, because I love it, and intend once again to spend a lot more time on the slopes with them at Tahoe, Mammoth, Whistler, and elsewhere --- the Alps sounds good too.
This past summer I took them on a drive up the Left Coast to visit a couple of my brothers in San Jose and Olympia. We spent considerable time at many natural wonders along the way: Yosemite, Tahoe, Lassen Volcanic Park, Crater Lake, the Redwoods, and the OR and CA coast.
And when they're old enough to start enjoying culture, which will be soon, we'll travel all around the Mediterranean, including cruising and sailing the Spanish Isles, Corsica, Sardinia, Riviera, Italian coast, Adriatic, Aegean....
Date men and women from California, United States. I'm a single father of two great kids. My son 18 in college, and my daughter is 13 (going on 22) . My children are my first priority So you need to understand that. My work takes me out of town 3 to 4 days a week. If that bothers you (alone time) then you might want to move on to the next profile.
My perfect match is someone who is attractive (looks count lets not kid ourselves) is outgoing, and fun. Attention: You must be able to communicate! If you like to yell and scream (the ones who do know it) I'm not for you. If you don't like hugging...then I'm definitely not for you. last but not least. Don't lie about your age. It's a deal breaker! I'm not about sending a bunch of emails back and forth. I think chemistry is key in any relationship. We meet for a drink, coffee, lunch or dinner and take it from there. See...... it's so easy!
Update 08/14/11 Wow, I just got my first hate mail from a bitter woman. Really???? If you don't have something nice to say then just move on to the next profile.
Who I am: A really good dad. Class clown growing up. My kids will tell you I act like a kid for humor. I'm all about making a comment to make people laugh.
This whole online dating is about people being truthful no second third date finding out you're not even close to what you said in your profile.
Last you must not have duck lips injected with who knows what.
Ladies, the ginormous boobs, fake cheeks implants is really not attractive!
I'll take a natural woman who's in shape anytime!!
Meet a man from United States. Looking for someone to hike, camp (RV) and Kayak this summer ... and maybe fall in love with too.
I know that there are guys on Match that may be easier on the eye. There are some guys more successful. Perhaps, even a few with better hair. If you want deep and meaningful, outdoorsy and indoorsy, fun and playful, funny and goofy, chivalrous and romantic, mature and moral, financially secure, attentive yet independent, then I am that guy. I am the guy who will never forget your birthday or any other of your special days. If something briefly catches your interest in June, don't be surprised to find it under the tree in December or perhaps we could just have Christmas in July. I do actually listen (and then actually respond.) I am the guy who will celebrate every important occasion in our lives and many that have little importance. I live the simple belief that every day should be savored and is best when shared. I love to share successes but I will always be there for the tough times. I am the guy who is both fun and forever. I am not looking for a hook-up. I am not looking for someone vastly younger. I am not looking for perfection. I am looking for a real relationship with a real person. I am looking for shared interests and a common direction. Passion, love, long walks, weekend getaways, hand holding today and ten years from today. I have the pedestal, I just need the person to put upon it. The only catch is that I am looking for someone who wants to put in the same effort and the same energy and who can cherish real love and a real life partner as much as I will. Not looking for shallow, superficial, or drama. Not looking for someone who puts materialism above things of real importance. Life is short. Let's find each other and make everyday fun and every night count (or at least watch a few good sit-coms together).
I am perpetually happy and yes, in life, I have been very lucky. I have more than I deserve, work less than many, am happier than most,and I am always a romantic optimist. To me life is an adventure to be savored and lived. I have a sense of humor that I promise will always make me seem stunningly handsome. Just in case you are not won over by my sense of humor, my goal has always been to earn enough to to be attractive. So far, I am doing OK but I am starting to have to work a little too hard. I hope to find someone to love me before I slip behind the curve.
I have always said that the best thing about being a guy is that we are blessed by not having to date our own kind. Whoever thought women should date men had a great sense of humor. If you are stuck dating my kind, then I am probably a better choice than most.
I do have some pretty high dating standards I should share:
First, if your IQ plus my IQ equals my IQ, then I will probably not date you. (Of course, you also would not be sure why.) Second, I absolutely only date women willing to go out with me. Also, I suppose that if you have a significant impact on the tides, we are probably not right for each other either. All kidding aside, I am most attracted to women who are intelligent, successful, and have lots of energy to enjoy life.
No matter what, I promise to amuse you and bring a smile to your life. I do promise to make you laugh, and even if you are laughing at me, you will be laughing...
Life is short (and always getting shorter). Lets hope the story of how we met will be the first of many wonderful shared memories and the last of being on Match.
Although I am looking for "the one", I always welcome the chance to make new friends (no double meaning at all). I love to go boating, kayaking, hiking and bike riding and I always enjoy sharing life's adventures. (I have had some pretty great adventures and I am always looking toward the next one.)
If you got this far, I hope you will take a chance on contacting me.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I am 6' and I weight 195 lbs. I do not carry any extra weight around because I like to work out all the time. I prefer to work out three times a week and I always watch what I eat. My meals are very healthy and good.
I seek a lovely lady who is understanding and intelligent. Who can communicate and who understands. One who loves to dance, play cards, go watch a good movie, play football with me or have a very nice dinner. Golf is fine.
Date someone special from California, United States. I am very easy going and fun to be around. I do have a funny side to me that can come out at any time.My friends would describe me as being considerate,kind,caring and generous. Looking for that special lady to share love and enjoy life with.
Meet a soulmate from United States. I'm warm, affectionate, easy going, open minded, with a positive attitude that very much sees "the glass as half full", and am not afraid to love. I have finally reached a place where I can live my life's dream--to do what I want with my time.. I like to sing and make music, write songs, entertain people for benefits, or for friends. I love to dance and really connect with my lady, and truly cherish good friends. I am as honest as the day is long. I would love to have someone who is my true "partner in crime"; that one special person you can confide in, and trust......someone that you can build a safe place to come home to where you both nurture each other. How about a little old fashion love. Maybe even some old fashioned courting, some..."spooning", if know that old phrase. Friends first is a good way to start I think. If something is there, it will grow without too much effort. On the other hand,
I would not thwart something real that could have potential---grow baby grow!
I'm extremely spontaneous, but in my later years I've come to respect roots, and the comforts of home----love to travel, but I really appreciate the comforts of my own abode.
I've been to Italy--last October. Last summer I visited England---ready to come? I don't mind asking for directions!
A small act of consideration is something that warms my heart-receiving it, giving it, or watching it.
I love finesse, and am comfortable nuance, and subtleties.
My big turn on is a deep understanding and connection of each other.
I'm raised with southern manners, courteous, respectful, and polite, but embrace all cultures and races.
I would enjoy a real partner that can "get me", my sometimes goofy nature, dreamer, "artsy-fartsy side".
I'm attracted to independent women, but I certainly don't mind leading when it's necessary--it's all up to negotiation isn't it :)
I enjoy eating good natural health food, but eat almost anything at times, I love my vegetable/herb garden, and love to share cooking.
Financially independent.
May you find your partner, I know I will...... ;-)
