Date men and women from United States / California / Petaluma, 52 year old

Date people from California, United States. OK…. So here goes, so after being part of match.com for 4 months, I have read over 100-200 profiles and it seems you are all looking for the same guy? Question is, which one found him and are you all waiting in line for your chance at him? You know the kind, loving, honest, funny and cries at a movie type. I guess all you ladies don't want a smoke’n’mirrors profile, you know the �glazed doughnutted’ and �sugar sprinkled’ profile so, I thought I better come clean for you all?? Sound good to you?
I actually put in the wrong birth date, can you imagine that? I am actually 39 not 52! I just look a little old for my age and that’s from partying like a rock star for the last 15 years!. I hope you like to party too! I don’t own a car, it wouldn’t do any good as they took my license away a long time ago because I had 6 DUI’s…... don’t laugh! It’s better than getting 7 DUI’s like my brother. So if we do get together you are going to need to be the DD, I hope you don’t mind? I should be able to scrape up some change to atleast help pay for part of the gas as I haven’t worked in 20 years, I’ve been riding the governments �gravy train’ and I want to thank all you tax payers, especially all the liberals in California for setting up all these wonderful programs and for your loving support! I kinda feel like a government employee. I think �work’ is the worst 4 letter word there is! I’m glad you are all working so, I don’t have to get my hands dirty!
I still live at my parents house. It’s a beautiful house, all the amenities, well decorated and furnished. My parents did a great job of that but, they annoyed me so they now live in the back yard… SSsshhhhh! Please don’t tell anyone, they are under the Roses. I love where I live and I don’t want to go to my �uncles grey bar hotel’. Though, I know I would get fed 3 good meals a day and you all would still be paying my way so, I guess you can call someone at one of the local news stations and they can put me on TV and make me a star!
I consider �working out’ as getting up and walking to the fridge to get a cold beer and then lifting it to my mouth to build arm strength; I think it’s working because, they seem to get lighter as I do more �curls’. I think I better start using my left arm soon as, my right arm is much bigger than my left arm!
If you noticed my pics; I don’t have all my hair; some people might say I have a receding hairline but, as young as I am and as fast as it is receding, I would say I have a �full on retreat’!! And ladies for those of you that don’t know this about men and their hair…. Men that lose their hair in the front are considered �thinkers’ and those losing it from the back are considered �lovers’ and those losing it from front and back �think they are lovers’… wonder where I fit in??
So if you made it this far and think this is really me, You may not have a sense of humor or atleast one similar to mine but, if it made you smile or laugh and you want to get to know me better send me an email. I would reall like to find a great friend first, I think that is a solid foundation for a good relationship. I know we can fall in love with someone and love them for who they are but, I still want to 'like' my �other half’ for the rest of my life! As a person I like to think of myself as confident but not a **** (but we all have our moments). I’m a humble man. I understand that there’s a time to give and be loving and understanding and giving these things make me feel fulfilled, as well. I’m always there for my friends and loved ones. I don’t run from adversity. I want people who come across me to think “hey what a cool guy”. It’s not about attention for me, at all, it’s about the importance of ones own honor and respect for and from those around him.

Meet someone special from California, United States. First off, I�m not sure if looking to meet someone online is the right thing for me. I always said, if I was single, you would never see me on a dating site, but I helped a friend setup a Match account and while I was on as her, I decided to just take a quick look at girls in my age group and location. I couldn’t help but find a couple cute girls that sounded like they would be super cool and fun to meet. I’m sure I’m not the first person this has happened to.
About me, I enjoy woodworking and motorcycle riding. I try and ride it to the city from Petaluma every Friday. It helps with the commute. I like being silly and can find humor in just about anything. I love to laugh, I hate stress and I’m a true believer that you should treat people the way you want to be treated. It’s still ok to make fun of someone, but that’s different. I never said I was perfect.
I’m not exactly sure what I’m looking for. I have a great life, great kids, a great job and some wonderful friends so I guess I would just like to share it with someone else.
Wish me luck…

Date single man from California, United States. Hello there,
I am not the guy with the bullhorn attitude, but I follow my own lead. I am generally a gentleman and prefer blunt honesty over ambiguity. I’m smart, funny, active, motivated, adventurous, ambitious and fit. I go after what I want with confidence. I am an optimistic, adventurous person with a passion for visiting new places, enjoying a range of foods, and enjoying the outdoors.
I enjoy cooking, but grocery shopping not so much. Dinner is usually served with a spinach salad and feta. Rosemary and cumin are my favorite herbs.
I find peace in the outdoors, regardless of the season or the weather. I love the fresh air, whether it is the first sweet smell of Spring or the cool, crisp air of Fall. I like full moons, half moons, crescent moons, and simply looking at clear, star-filled skies.
I have an odd affinity for post-war suburbia; I hold a particular fondness for untended shrubbery, foundation plants and dandelions gone to seed. Puppy love etched in schoolyard tree; pencil on brick, the Craftsman style house.
I am fortunate to have a group of friends with whom I am very close. I also have an extremely supportive and loving family. I am sarcastic (sorry if that doesn't appeal); at moments funny; tongue in cheek, as well as foot in mouth. I am the guy who goes to the ends of the earth for his friends and the people he cares about. I give all I can to the people who matter in my life.
I am open to many types of people however some of the qualities I look for in an ideal match include someone who is open-minded, intelligent, adventurous, warm-hearted, and at a stage in life where she is ready to have and interested in having a mature relationship. I enjoy women who are loyal, loving and down to earth. Life is amazingly short and it's nice to enjoy the simple stuff--enjoy who you love and who you are.
I am hoping to meet someone who is open to growth.
Cheers

Meet men and women from California, United States. I'm a 52yr old with two beautiful young ladies as daughters. I have always been a hard working person and I'm still working on that day when i can fully enjoy retirement. I'm a big kid at heart and always will be. I take pride in staying fit and hope you do as well.
I enjoy the outdoors, A night out with that someone special or sitting in front of a fire on a rainy night playing board games with a cold beer or cabernet. I really enjoy cooking a meal for that someone special or a family gathering as it gives me the pleasure to entertian. I'm looking for a life partner, someone to grow old with and enjoy a new chapter in our lives. I want someone to desire me as much as i will desire them. To be able to stand in a crowded room and see nothing but you. To me the most important thing in a relationship is honesty of heart, commitment of soul and truth of word.
You like soft kisses that last forever, laughter and intimacy. Your not afraid to talk about anything and everything. You enjoy your time alone or with your friends as this is a good thing in a relationship and you belive in trust and have integrity. I'm a mans man... but yet i too can cry. I'm usually a shy guy but not afraid to speak my mind... To a point anyway :)
I'm a simple man with a simple plan and If your interested sent me an email or a wink, I look forward to meeting you.

Date a man from California, United States. I am a devoted father who is also honest, respectful, sincere, tall, athletic, attractive, have a good sense of humor; I could be your future friend, partner and confidante. Are you interested?
This online adventure has been both enlightening and humbling. There are some wonderful people out there and others who are not even courteous enough to respond to messages. Needless to say, my hope is to meet one of the wonderful women. Could that be you? I suppose those who don't respond to messages wouldn't be a very good match for me.
I am comfortable with who I am, but would like to spend time with someone who shares my likes (cycling, camping, beach, movies, music, theater, hiking, going out, staying in, travel) and dislikes (rudeness, disrespect, drivers who don't use their turn indicator, people who litter or smoke in public and "winks" - send me a message please). I hope to find someone to share my heart, body, soul and spirit! Someone who makes me want to come home and talk about the day. Someone to share my thoughts, desires and fantasies. Someone to explore places we've never been or want to go again again. My ideal match would be a woman who is also comfortable with herself and wants to share all of these things with me.
I am not looking for a mother for my son; he has one already. My ex and I share custody. When he is with me, he is my focus. When he is with her, I can focus more on you and I. Is that acceptable? Of course, that doesn't mean I'd ignore you when he is around! Speaking of my ex, it should be said that we are still friends and speak often. We want to remain amicable but will not reconcile.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I'm an optimist and always looking for more friends - love everybody. I like to get out and do things especially all outdoor sports and lead a very active life so interested in the same of course.
Life is short so time is ticking let's go baby

Date a soulmate from United States. Hello and thanks for checking me out. I'm seeking a comfortably laid-back philosopher, artist, sociologist like myself for adventures in the big, beautiful world. Looking for someone who lives in Northern California, especially Sonoma County or Marin. Must like dogs, like to take long walks ("mosey" around town, as we call it where I came from). I am very spontaneous and make minimal plans. I enjoy people-watching without being too terribly obvious and finding new places and spaces to experience and enjoy. I love junk shops, museums, hardware stores, book stores, restaurants the locals eat at, places that are truly eclectic and not designed that way. I'll ride a long way for an excellent cup of coffee not Starbucks. Emotionally, I am calm and nicely balanced between introversion and extroversion.. I have nerves of steel and am an excellent person to have an emergency around. I'm definitely not into drama for drama's sake because there are plenty of very real and very dramatic things occuring in this world all the time- why add to it. I like being grateful for the good in my life and not sweating the small stuff. I try to keep things simple. I am very practical, organized, thrifty. My physical interests include swimming, motorcycling, rowing, kickboxing, dancing, anything that gets my blood moving and clears my head. I'm fond of my body, like using it and take good care of it. I also love to camp and kayak, preferring being outdoors to inside unless it's super cold or I just feel like getting comfy on the couch with a book, movie or just tallking with you. I am passionate about traveling, even short trips, because changing scenery and visiting with different folks makes me feel more alive, connected and present in the moment. I am witty, animated, can hold up my end of a conversation with essentially anyone. I laugh freely and often. I get laughed at sometimes, too, because I tend to be irreverant, uninhibited, animated and alert for the humor in situations. I do know how to behave and can if I want to. Truthfully, I can fit in anyplace because, I'm told, I'm an excellent listener and observer and I have many disguises. No joke: I am loyal, kind and; compassionate. I try not to hurt anything or anybody - I even rescue spiders. I have an open heart and a free spirit. I try to live a balanced, spiritual, creatively aware lifestyle and I truly make having fun a priority. It would be so wonderful to have somebody with similar interests and values come out and play.
You like dogs. You enjoy expressing and receiving affection, touching and being touched, giving and receiving. You practice balance and moderation. You are open-minded, able to accept opinions different from your own. You can pack light and leave town within the hour. You enjoy long drives (or rides) with no particular destination, just taking things as they come. You love the outdoors and actually make the time to go places. We have so many opportunities here for so much beauty and activity. So I'll get the camper ready, you get the wood. We can go to the store together unless you read lables and take forever, then we'll work out something else. Oh yeah, I guess first we should just talk on the phone and maybe get a cup of coffee.

Meet someone special from United States. I am an energetic and spirited yet level headed, loyal and communicative girl. My spirit of adventure is for exploring art and different cultures thru travel, cooking and music.
I am a chef abd a cheesemonger interested in gardening,making food and art. I am looking forward to a simpler and more artful life filled with travel and home and craft and most hopefully love.
Anyone who is consumed by or is all about work is probably not a good match for me at this point in life. Have a high work ethic but there are so many things higher on the list than work and money.
I like romance, creativity, inventiveness, laughter (super sexy!!) and meaningful conversation. Want a true partner, friend and sweetheart. I am not subscribed at this time (Feb 2012) but if you wink I can see you and may get back on board

Date people from United States. I'm looking for friendship that may lead to more and taking it slow is fine. I'm a bit shy at first but that usually doesn't last too long. I'm looking for a man who is comfortable with himself, is a gentleman, opens doors and pulls out chairs for a lady. And not just for the first 6 months! I would like a man who can be open, and honest, but is still masculine. Loves to cook with or without me. Likes to go out, but also hang out at home too. I'm a very independent person and need my space at times. I want someone who can make me laugh and doesn't take himself so serious. You MUST be honest and have nothing to hide. No drama please.
I love hanging out with my friends and family and having a good time. I surround myself with good people who are positive and enjoy life.
