My Ideal Person:
You can only find the one you are looking for through the personal contact! Right?! Really in need of open-minded, religeous, caring, loving and affectionate female soulmate. If your stubborn or moody, I can manage and handle it. God loving patience is all that’s needed. Dislike some bitter experience with people who just look at the outside of a person... First, be reeeeally smart. I am most attracted to an intelligent woman. Next be confident in yourself. There is nothing more attractive than confidence, right? Let's see... Oh, be open, honesty, this is Most important,and fair. Using this forum our first impression is from the pictures. I do give "cushion room" and understand that pictures don't always tell an accurate story. If you're looking for the "perfect guy", I'll let you decide, but I don't think I'm that. I'm old enough to have lived and made my fair share of mistakes. I am living now with the motto of "Friendship, Love & Honesty". How does that sound to you? Hope to find a real friend that can develope into love, not just a dream or an illusion!

Date people from Pasadena, United States. i've spent my entire life in the visual arts. i mostly work with clay, but am versed in bronze, printmaking, painting, welding, etc. my father was a successful artist during the middle of the last century, and my experiences with him had a profound impact on me. i''m constantly dealing with carrying on his legacy, from archiving his work to photographing it for exhibitions to meeting with art dealers, etc. i grew up in a pretty amazing world and am honored to be a part of it. i spent my childhood in museums and galleries, looking at every kind of art. being the son of a surrealist was strange, and wonderful!
I'm in the trades, i'm a contractor. i do anything from landscaping, to roofing, to complete remodels. it comes naturally to me as i've been working with my hands my entire life. i have built a few studios and a house for myself before settling in to my present space. My crew members are like brothers to me. They are quite skilled and I am proud of them. When we take on a new project, we are committed to completing it on time while paying attention to the smallest details.
i've made my living assisting artists, teaching artists, and teaching art to students of all ages, most recently at pasadena city college. i also photograph artwork for a living. i've photographed for museums and famous artists, and anyone that needs a really good image of their work.
my latest personal projects have been large scale ceramic sculptures (up to 8 feet tall.) my last show at a prominent LA gallery sold out. (i was almost able to pay off my credit card!!) i also make miniature sculptures that one could wear. i live and work in the same house i grew up in, located in pasadena, close to the rose bowl.
as a child i spent my summers and any long holidays on my family's ranch in the central valley. i drove the harvest, and herded the sheep, and repaired, the always breaking machinery. sometimes me and my cousins would sneak off and swim in our lake. i still like to visit and help my family in any way possible. it's a very beautiful place. Though we are ranchers we also have had a dream to build a planned community on a 1500 acre parcel of farmland we own. We are in the final permitting stages of the project and are quite proud of it. The community will have a nature preserve and open spaces far larger than are required by government regulations. We will build 5000 dwellings, many of them live-work. All of the homes will be connected by bike and walking paths. A rapid transit system will access the community directly. We have planned many parks and recreation
i was classically trained (the oboe,) and have a soft spot for classical music and oddly bass instruments (as in the opposite of treble,) as my sister plays the cello and my brother the bassoon.
i love to meditate. the form i practice is called zazen. i have been "sitting" for many years, and yet realize that i am just a beginner. i'm fascinated with the internal landscape, and love to traverse it. something about watching the breath... it's not to say i'm not well traveled. i've been around the world a few times, and have had many wonderful experiences. we exist in an infinite universe, both internally and externally. i enjoy them both equally, that's all. i have been wealthy and poor, the quality of experience is what counts, and money doesn't change that. having a bigger carbon footprint didn't bring me joy. opening my heart did.
i am a caretaker by nature. i love to cook dinners and play house. i definitely want you to know that you are well taken care of when you're with me. True beauty is something that transcends age and status in this society. I have loved women far older and much younger than myself. I’m interested in finding someone whom I feel safe being myself with, and sharing this wonderful life that been bestowed on me.

Meet single man from Pasadena, United States. I'm a very loving, totally devoted, part-time dad to my beautiful 11 year old son. He is the absolute light of my life. At present he is with me every Thur.,Fri. Sat. We have such a close, loving bond and totally enjoy being with each other even if it's just watching cartoon's. I have a very silly, playful approach to life which is happily rubbing off on him more and more all the time. We enjoy a wide range of activities- movies, amusement parks, hiking, biking, camping etc. We want to learn how to rappel and I'm going to introduce him to scuba diving this summer. Just have to find a swimming pool. We'll go flying as often as we can as soon as I finish getting my pilots license.
While my primary work has been in the medical field, I'm presently training to be a surgical tech. I'm also certified in massage and a few other things.
I consider myself to be free-spirited, extremely open-minded and deeply spiritual, though not in a religiousy way. I spent most of my life (especially the last 20 or so years), trying to find the meaning of life. know who and what God is, what comes next and so on. I discovered that it's so true that if you want to know something bad enough and you ask the right question in the right way you will definitely get an answer. With lots of reading, deep introspection, yoga and meditation I have leaned that who we are, why were here and where were headed, is more extraordinary than I ever imagined. The really wonderful part is that it's so much simpler than is generally understood. Being the person that I've become I care very deeply for my fellow man and always try to interact with the world with the mind-set of,"how can I help or what can I do to make a difference!"
From a spiritual perspective I love being a dad. And to me there is no greater privilege than to be entrusted with the care of another human being.
As to the kind of person I'm looking for, I've pretty much decided to open my heart to a loving mom who absolutely adores her children. Since I love kids, and being the quintessential family man, I thought, "what could be better than experiencing the joy of life as part of a loving family."
Of course, if it turns out that your looking for the same kind of life that I am, it's pretty much a given that you'll be someone who truly loves life, has a kind heart, is rarely without a warm smile and is always looking out for ways to bring joy to those around her. If your very silly kinda goofy by nature, the kind of person who loves to sing and dance around the house, loves a good joke, finds pleasure in little things (like cooking dinner together and watching a movie) then I think we would be off to a good start. And just think how nice it's going to be to actually have someone that you can literally tell "all" your secrets, dreams fantasies to and they will accept you for being you, no matter what. I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours!
Important note- After giving it some thought I decided that I might as well get this out in the open now. First, you should pretty much disregard the fact that I'm 49. Age is relative! (I guess you could say that I'm a big, playful kid at heart) You'll see what I mean! Second, you have to like to kiss or be kissed, "A lot!" As often as I can I want to look into your eyes, pull you close, softly touch your face and tell you with a kiss that there is no other place in the world I would rather be than in your arms. And after the little ones are sleeping I will...umm...show you in many other "adventurous" ways too :)

Date a soulmate from Pasadena, United States. This is what I’m looking for:
An African/Asian/Latin/multiracial American woman or NOT a prematurely aged white woman that has her stuff together. You love a man that has a life worthy of living. Be open to expanding your emotional depth and breadth beyond what you could possibly imagine. We get each other in the most exquisitely intimate way. You have a free and true laugh. You're intensely creative in the arts such as fashion design, modeling, dance, acting, singing, literature, etc. You fully appreciate a man that practices "The Way of the Superior Man". You are LITTLE IN THE MIDDLE and HAVE MUCH BACK. You are fit and full of vitality. You are supremely intelligent. Preferably you are a Daddy's Girl and you had and/or have a great relationship with your father. You own your sexuality. You feel deserving of incredible pleasure. Your laugh is true and comes from your heart. You are free of the past and here to meet the right man that can penetrate you through to your very essence. Is this you?
I 'm friendly but don't seek approval, loved my mom and step dad, protect my family, won't give money to beggars but will point them to the nearest library, dominate and in control but not domineering or controlling, cry when my daughter sings, faithful to the truth, open doors for others, fluently speak Girlese, can be breath taking belly laugh funny but NOT a clown, BBQ'er extraordinaire, can fix just about anything from cars to plumbing(and no, women don't need fixing), believe that compromise is for politicians, know that the most loving relationships that are both blissfully fulfilling and spirit freeing are based upon mutual gifting and making each others already great life even better, won't ever take and won't ever need a little purple pill to get it up, and when my mom had one good eye she told me I was cripplingly handsome, am the best father according to my daughter and learning to be better, don't waste my time on unauthentic women, will listen like a rock and stand solid in the face of a woman's emotional storms though I can tell you NO and mean it. Will not take your crap. Take responsibility for my actions and mistakes, correct them and move on.

Date men and women from California, United States.
I'm an urban type who appreciates diversity (people and cultures) this metropolis has to offer. I have moved to Los Angeles more than twenty four years ago and consider it my home town. I love its art houses and museums, concerts and sport events, restaurants and shops. I have traveled to many different countries and enjoy talking and exploring other places and cultures. I am an avid reader (books, magazines, newspapers) who likes to know what's happening in the world, to discuss and read about current events. I rarely watch TV (except PBS and 60 Minutes). On weekends, I like to see some independent or foreign movies (some of my favorites : Amarcord, Jules et Jim, Husbands and Wives, Bullets over Broadway).
I love sports. I regularly play tennis, go hiking and scuba diving, and enjoy occasional thrilling activities, such as jumping out of perfectly good airplane (!). I am athletic person and in pretty good physical shape.
I'm down to earth, honest, responsible and loyal. I am very direct in relationships with people and tend to openly express my opinion. I have a circle of a handful of trusted, long-time friends.
I am curious and inquisitive type and love to try new things. I enjoy warm seas and tropical islands.
I would like to meet someone with similar interests and lifestyle.

Date people from California, United States. I am a kind, caring, giving and compassionate person. It has been a way of life for me since childhood and I see no reason to change. To me, it feels good to do good.
I do my best to take care of myself physically. I workout and live a clean and healthy lifestyle. (OK, I love mocha frappaccino's and other sweet or chocolate stuff, but I TRY to burn off the cals.) I don't drink, smoke or use drugs. I can act pretty crazy...in a fun way,,,without any "help".
I like to travel. Sometimes it's just a quick getaway to La Quinta, Santa Barbara or Vegas. When more time is available I enjoy New York City. (I spent a lot of my youth in The Bronx with the paternal side of my family.) I also love the warmth of a seculed beach, the dining and nightlife of the city, or the natural beauty of The Florida Keys, Negril, Hawaii or "?" Near or far I find pleasure in fine dining, vibrant nightlife, or just "winding down" now and then. Maybe an afternoon beach cruise on my Harley. Whatever the mood calls for is good. (Just cuddling under the blankets on a stormy day is time WELL spent..)
My interests cover both ends of the spectrum and every color in between. From the more "refined" such as museums and black-tie charity fundraiser dinners, to a motorcycle charity ride , to hking and a photoshoot in the wildnerness. I am comfortable and "appropriate" in any environment. (Well, NEARLY any environment, except for my dentist's chair where I am quickly reduced to a first rate sissy. lol.)
I am semi-retired after a successful career in the leadership of a Fortune 100 company. My 20 plus years in "suit n' tie mode" enabled me to invest in a manner that has left the latter half of life "comfortable". (In stark contrast from my early years of "not enough food on the table"...literally.) But I've never forgotten my humble beginnings. And I remember to give back whenever possible through philanthropy and volunteering.
I do spend a fair amount of my time overseeing my investments (mostly income properties and equty investments). Additionaly, I founded a small animal refuge. (Animals have always been a big part of my life. My partner has to be OK with cats and dogs.) The shelter has become a very time intensive effort. But it provides a heart-warming feeling that is hard to equal.
I am affectionate and enjoy being close to one special person. Sharing the good things in life and being there for them during the bad. I am loyal when in a relationship and it is a relationship that I am seeking. (Not a trail of dates to occasionally meet with for a few hours now and then.) I am happiest as a "couple". Investing in each other as much and often as possible. But I'm not in a hurry to rush things along. "Friends first" is fine. Just take things as they go.
I am genuine. What you read or see is real. I don't play games with people.
I hope to find a similar counterpart to enjoy all that this world has to offer. If you feel that you may be this type of person, it would be great to hear from you!

Meet single man from California, United States. Starting over with a new perspective and a greater appreciation for my next partner. Looking for a friend first and foremost, someone who is kind, affectionate, positive, and enjoys life. I love to laugh and I cannot survive without music, especially live music. I want to be with someone who wants to travel the world and is comfortable experiencing new adventures regardless if we are staying at the Four Seasons or on the couch of my cousins house in the Glens of Antrim.
I have two amazing beautiful girls and they are the loves of my life.
I am looking to compliment, not compete with your life and family and I hope you feel the same.
I work very hard and am quite fortunate to work in an industry that I am very passionate about. Having said that, my family will come first-I have already paid the price for putting work in front of them for years and I will never do it again. Lesson Learned!
