Date men from United States / California / Rocklin, 51 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. I would describe myself as a very active and loving man who enjoys being outdoors and spending quality time with family and friends. I'm considered intelligent by my peers and can hold my own conversationally on a variety of topics. I'm extremely honest and believe integrity is critical in building a strong foundation for friendships at any level. I like to have fun and balance that with being very responsible. Afterall, I am a dad. I do take pride in my parenting and I very much appreciate the dedication it takes to raise healthy, enlightened, and happy children. My 13 yr old daughter is exactly that and I love her dearly. She makes being a dad very easy :-)
I'm looking for a woman who likes children, is physically active, and willing to try new things. I'm not into playing games and would hope you aren't either. Looking for a true friend and lover on all levels of affection and connection. In essence, I'm looking for a great friend and companion who shares similar beliefs on how people should treat each other and enjoys all the many opportunities around us. Having multiple interests is a great plus in my book. We can share the activities each likes with the other and maybe find some new ones together.
It's nice to go on hikes in the foothills and enjoy the early fall and spring weather. Summer is great for going boating and camping and of course skiing in the winter months or spring like this season :-)
I just paid the subscription dues so I can read and send emails now.
Good luck to you

Meet a man from United States. I am a 51 year old male who has been married for 27 years. The last 10 have been a struggle and it was time to move on. I am looking for someone who wants to be loved and enjoys getting out and doing things. I have 3 Grown children 25,23 and 21. The youngest is in college and lives with me. I enjoy music, (play guitar for over 40 years), Baseball, Hiking, Biking, Beach, concerts and love to travel. I have been to Europe, Australia, Fiji and Mexico as well as many parts of the U.S. I enjoy going to the Gym or being outside walking,hiking,biking.

I want a partner who loves me for who I am and is faithful to the relationship. My friends will tell you that I treat a woman better than anyone they know. So, I look forward to bringing small gifts for no reason, flowers just because and nice romantic getaways.

Date single man from United States. I'm a happy and fun guy with a great job, nice house, fun family life who would like to meet a nice local lady to spend time with. I'm athletic and naturally tan. Played college basketball a hundred years ago. My youngest son is away at college. The older kids spend lots of time at the house. And I enjoy having them around. I'm lucky enough to work from home and I'm almost always wearing shorts and a ball cap. Except when I have a business meeting to take care off. Occasionally, I like to go out and have a drink with friends on Friday or Sat. at the tequila bar. Love those margaritas. But I usually can be found in the backyard by the pool, cooking on the bbq with the radio playing... maybe having a beer or sipping a glass of vino. I also like to go wine tasting up in the foothills. I like Rivercats games, but I don't always watch the game, I'm usually goofing around with friends. Lots of fun. A fun personality and a cute smile makes me happy. To me, great conversation and home cooking can make a nice date. Are you a professional who can look great with no makeup, blue jeans, and flip flops on the weekend....email me.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I have to join so many others and ask those without pictures not to email or contact me. It places me in such an uncomfortable position to ask for photos after initial contact. I consider myself such a warm and friendly person and do not like coming across as only interested in looks. Thank you, and if you do wink I will probably fire back so don't be surprised.
I could spend alot of time telling you about myself, but have found, only face to face interaction really gets people to the next level. You can read all the wonderful information about me below, but lets face it, who would ever write something negative about themselves. It's all about the photos, right? Does anyone want to get together and chat?
But, here is a little about me,
I love challenges, fun, travel, and always, always believe the best of life is yet to come. My ideal upcoming vacation will be sailing along the coast of Greece (well, maybe I will wait until Greece recovers from their financial woes) and embracing romance and history.. I consider myself fortunate my roots are so non-judgmental, well-grounded in normal, and so desiring of good things in life.
I love the gym, and hope to find someone who values their body, and the need to stay healthy. It is not an obsession for me, but a way of life, it is the best drug I know. I love doing 12-week workout routines, mixing them up, and always record everything I do.
What am I looking for? It’s just so not complicated! I want commitment, laughter, young-at-heart, and a not-afraid-to-be-yourself type person. On any given day I can be the most clumsy guy in the room, and the next, the total professional who steals the room. Looks are important to me but a natural appearance without all the makeup is just fine by me too. I want to be able to open your door, compliment you, and buy your dinner as a gentleman should do. I want a woman who brings a life with her, not a woman wanting to conform to mine, although blending is key. I guess I just want to be comfortable with the right person….and we will both know if we are.
OK, if you are still here than a little about me.....
I am funny, or at least I think I am, but it’s probably an acquired taste. I am very professional when it’s the requirement of my profession or situation, but will always be the guy looking for the next humorous moment. I hope to meet someone who takes their daydreams of lying on the beach in Jamaica, Mai-Tai in hand, smooching like teenagers, and believes the best part of life has not passed them by.
I believe chemistry is either there... or not, and you'll know after a few times together, but you have to get together to find out. If it's there you build on that as you get to know one another. I am a firm believer in taking time, committed time, to getting to know a person before making any decisions.
I love kids! I understand many of you have done your tour of duty and looking at the next chapter in life. I am not quite there but getting close. If that is problematic for you I can only say, have fun, you deserve it.
I recently switched gears from owning a very successful aerial mapping company to starting a Para-Legal firm called Geo-Legal, I also work as a principal for a local development firm. I am in law school anticipating a transition to the law profession focusing on land related law.
I put away my parachute 2 years ago, but may jump again some day. It was fun getting back into the sport 5 years ago after a 15 year break. However, while I believe the sport to be safe I felt the risks outweighted the fun. I have too much to lose if something did go wrong. So after my 600th jump I sold everything and will see what the future holds.
Would love to hear from you and swap life stories...........well maybe just hear how your day is going to start.
And yes, all my photos are within the last 1-12 months.......well most of them anyway.
Be well,
Chri
