Date a man from Pacific Grove, United States. Hello! Welcome and thanks for reading. Certainly, communication is largely non verbal, and we would all probably prefer a more natural way to meet but this is a way to begin... It is fun to be charming and silly but first we have to be sincere, open I think too many women ( guys too! but I don't know guys in that way! ) put up defenses then get the man best at breaking through those defenses, well how did he get so good? So I guarantee I am not too funny or charming, at first, anyways. I am kind, attentive,sincere, a bit iconoclastic, btw, what is your definition of strength? Mine perhaps is strong enough to be kind, to be hurt, to be consistent, to be a giver. I really enjoy nice and sharing. It is fun to look forward to adventure daring to live life with passion and conviction. Adventures on the peasant bus in Bolivia as well as the Louvre in Paris have all been great, they are both adventures of the the Human Spirit.
So who am I looking for? Well, it helps to be like minded, I am adventurous, hardworking, responsible I do things,seek new experiences, cerebral has beenvused on me, I usually feel like a dummy, physical, take care of people, myself and am intensely loyal, great creative and romantic moments arise as a result of lots of subtle simple sharing. I don't put limits on people, go in with a preconceived notion of what some else has to be share thoughts,feelings, communicate, adventures great and small, special thrills and small things made special!
I live my life believing that we are here to make the world better, service to community, for me the environmentalism is very important, everything emanates from the humble heart of nature, culture, humanity, anthropology, all fun, don't worry life is funny it is far too crazy to stay serious all the time, I certainly get tear my hair out anymore, I guess that is maturity!
Anything in nature is fun for me, working out ( but not for vanity ), bicycling, hiking, I have always loved playing sports and competition which now has me coaching running, I enjoy the energy of teenagers. I love to cook, not often huge crazy esoteric stuff, just daily good, simple wholesome creation. I used to have extensive gardens when I lived in Santa Cruz, here I have no big yard but still, I grow and nurture things, body, food, youth, plants, a kitten! I even love to forage for berries, like fishing, cooking what I gathered. I dream of a little farm, lots of animals,trees.
I love traveling, backpacking and adventuring and as a teacher I have had a lot of time to travel, although less recently as responsibilities arise. My adventures and backpacking trips have been from overnight to last years' 20 miles and 3 passes in a day. I love the Mineral king area of the Sierra, Henry Coe park is insane, Boundary waters in Minnesota and Peru, Bolivia are some of my favorite trips, also France, Austria, Greece, England, Turkey, Switzerland. Locally Arroyo Seco and Garland are great, if you like flowers have you seen the Mariposa Lilies? Music anyone? I love Naima by Coltrane, mostly old rock that strives, flows. Let's hear your thoughts....
Meet someone special from Pacific Grove, United States. Hey, thanks for checking out my profile. Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Mark, I'm a spiritual person, but don't follow a particular religion. My spirituality helps me stay in the now, and not past or future trip. My son is high functioning autistic, and the greatest joy in my life. I'm sure you'd enjoy hanging out with him, he's sweet, bright, funny, and easy going, I think he gets it from me! LOL. But you have to hang out with me for awhile first, I'm a bit protective of him, I hope you understand. I like to keep busy, and have fun, I take serious things seriously, but don't sweat the small stuff. I try to see the humorous side of things, and I'm not afraid to laugh at myself. I recently resigned from my job, in order to pursue a degree. I've saved enough to do this responsibly, and am taking my life in another direction. Academically, and professionally. I'm seeking here only what I have to offer. If you consider yourself trustworthy, honest, loyal, respectful, spititual, a good friend and communicator, I'm your guy, Take care.

Meet someone special from Pacific Grove, United States. I am witty, fun, interesting and interested. People say I have a great sense of humor, though I can also be serious when needed. Life is an adventure, and I like to be open to it. I am looking for that special woman I can love and cherish. I have had many interesting experiences which I would love to add to. I value integrity, honesty and respect very highly. I have many nice friends, a healthy family, a healthy body and a good life. I have a successful business that I love. It keeps me busy and I don't seem to find the time to meet people as often as I would like. I am not really into the bar scene, so I thought I would give this a try. I prefer a live performance, art show, car show, or other experience where I can enjoy the creativity and expressions of others. Quiet nights of snuggling and lots of affection is a must, too.
Take a chance and let's se if we have the right ingredients. We won't know until we meet, no matter how many questeions or evaluations we complete on this site.
Here's to life and love. Be safe and wild too (is that possible?)
Date a man from United States. "Trustworthy, dependable, fun, and a bit magnanimous." If you were ask my friends, that is what they would probably say. I still keep in contact with many of my elementary and high school friends.
Walking, hiking, swimming and golf how I enjoy the outdoors. I still enjoy going to concerts and would rather listen to music than watch TV.. I am not much a movie person. Love watching the Giants. Better than most golfers but not quite a a single handicap.
It would be great to meet a woman to share some time with. Ideally, she would have strong bonds with her family. Pretty women who laugh is what I find attractive.
I'm a very good listener, and can usually get people to laugh.

Meet single man from California, United States. Hi! Thanks for checking me out.
So you know--I've been through a bunch of stuff in the last few years. Parents' deaths, some injuries, a marriage that I devoted myself to fully and just wasn't working (and then divorce), some major professional changes and challenges, some serious work on myself as a man and as a mate. I'm through most of the "healing" ('though that probably goes on for years in reality) and my practice and working environment are wonderful at this point. I'm not interested in or about to unload "stuff" regarding what I've been through...but instead, about how I have grown, how I have worked on myself, and how my life is getting bigger.
So far as who I am, I am about kindness and caring for others and making lives better. I love doing what I do in my profession (will tell you more about it once we connect..,.for now, I'll share that I am a health care provider), love learning new technologies and ways of connecting with people and ways to provide care more comfortably and precisely. I take good care of people in my life, and am close to my family. Seeking and developing balance--physiical, emotional, spiritual--is central to my character. In that sense, while I love kicking back and revel in watching old movies, I don't sit around watching "the game". I'm heading out on a bike ride, heading to the gym, I'm doing something. I'll be outside gardening, I'll call a buddy to offer support and to see what's going on in their life, I'll do a yoga tape, I'll read a good book, work on my old truck. I'll catch up on reading or learning about what I do professionally. I have a select group of friends (want more!) who know me well, who I care deeply about. I maintain frequent and close contact with them. I think I'm a great support to others. Count on me to be sincere, honest, and accountable. I'm also a musician--have played sax since I was 8, and still do, several times a week. I love being part of a community, especially smaller towns, and have found that the Monterey Peninsula/ Santa Cruz coast is just about the perfect spot in Heaven for me.
Something else--I feel, sometimes, a little out of place in this time. Values I live by are probably way out of date-- things like sincerity, honesty, integrity, compassion. I sometimes feel (ok, I USUALLY FEEL!) like I must have been from the WW II generation...but if there's a good side to this, it means that you can count on me to be straight with you, loyal, sincere, honest and solid.
Who I'm looking for? You are smart, physically active, feminine and you feel great being a woman. You take good care of yourself, you have great self - esteem, a sense of balance in your life, and are confident whether you are with one person or at a gathering with several people. You are independent but nurturing, real, sincere and caring. You exercise regularly, without someone making you do it..:) and (this would be my dream woman) you are curvy, strong, determined to stay as young as you can as long as you can...listening to your body and avoiding stuff that shortens your life or spoils your health. I think I'm sort of hinting at a degree of moderation here...but for the record, know that enjoying a great bottle of wine or some smooth single malt (or whatever your fancy) now and again will be something I'd like to share with you! You have good relationships with your family, you don't let things sit if they're off, and above all, you comminicate. You let others who are close to you know how you feel. You don't play games and don't hold stuff inside until you "blow". You are loving, feel sexy, feel alive. You are looking for a committed relationship but realize that some time, communication and shared experiences need to happen before stepping into marriage.
You live on or near the Monterey Peninsula, and are interested in a man who has made mistakes and fallen down, gotten up and is wanting to spend his time - quality time - with you, and not
Date a soulmate from United States. Looking for a partner, best friend and a little bit of lovin'. I am honest, enthusiatic, driven and usually achieve the goals I set for myself. I work very hard Monday thru Friday and like to relax and enjoy the weekends. Currently living and working on the Monterey Peninsula in California. I currently own two horses, named Whiskey and Porter, and love to go riding most every weekend. Care to join me?
I love the outdoors and enjoy the simple life; although my career has exposed me to the best of everything. I appreciate quality but am far from spoiled. A good Pinot Noir and a Ribeye Steak are the makings of a great evening for me. I am definitely a "what you see is what you get" kind of guy. No wacked out surprises or hidden agendas!
I guess I am both smart and funny, because people have often asked me if I was ever a Lawyer or a stand-up Comedian. Weird combo, eh? I have been neither; but enjoy a social conversation and have an entertaining sense of humor. I attended college in Pennsylvania (my home state) and graduated with a triple major. Did I mention I was driven?
In a woman, I appreciate a witty sense of humor, a positive outlook on things, openess and honesty, responsibility and an amourous side. A horse woman is of course a plus.
Meet a soulmate from United States. I realize that I must put myself out there in order to have any chance of finding that special lady. Not such an easy task. Honesty is my strong suit and I will be your loyal partner. Being honest here in my profile is the only way to get honest results in my Match. I believe in the Golden Rule. Family is very important. I recently became a grandfather. Truly an awesome experience.
Cycling has been my main sport for many years. I have come to know and meet many wonderful people and have created many friendships through the sport. Being in good health is a priority for me and staying active is key in my daily living. My exercise is routine and I try to eat healthfully as well.
I like to camp and hike as well as just being outdoors. Love get-away weekends and roadtrips. Traveling is something I need to do more of. I can fix anything--most anything. Listen to most genres of music. Enjoy the arts (paintings, ballet, plays), reading, the computer, good dialogue. Know about politics (if we have to go there). I Know how to cook.
Overall, I am comfortable in my own skin, am a quick study--must be my age, and use it well and wisely. I'm a good listener and communicate well.
I am looking for a partner who shares some of the same interests as me and I am open to new adventures as well! Let's get together sometime over coffee, an afternoon walk, or whichever seems comfortable for you. I am very approachable.

Meet single man from United States. I have changed myself to a more tame and healthy lifestyle, I enjoy working out and eating a little safer. I consider myself a hard worker, honest, trusting and maybe to kind of a man. I may enjoy big city entertainment .... but rather enjoy the outdoors and doing some lite traveling. My life has taken a spin and I seem to be starting all over and looking for that person to grow in a relationship with. ...the rest is up to us. :) Why don't you invite me over for dinner? We can indulge in conversation while enjoying a great meal and see what we can think up for desert. I can be a picky man ... but I know what I need in a partner .. well at least the bare essentials. Ideal match now that is tough to answer .... but usually known after meeting if it is there. The first date would have to be some place that we can talk freely and hear each others in a normal voice range, perhaps a casual dinner and a place to chat or a walk afterwards or just each others home. I don't like prejudging people so physical looks aren't written in stone but the need for mutual attraction is a must as well as the mental acceptance of each other. I expect honesty and of course a smile that we can share, so wittyness if that is a word is good. To end the night would depend on how we got along, either a hug or a soft kiss to relish till we meet again.
I'm looking for someone that acts the way they feel and don't change their personality or looks because they have aged another year. Be yourself, enjoy life, don't worry about what you can't change. Someone that enjoys their job, can come home with a smile and be positive around me as I am. You take care of your health, body and mind . .. your outward appearance reflects your inner self. I don't care about what you do for a living, how much it pays you or if you own half of the world, just as long as your comfortable with it and have time for us.
