Date men from United States / California / Santa Barbara, 36 year old

Date a soulmate from Santa Barbara, United States. Hi there. So I moved to Santa Barbara almost 2 years ago...loving it so far! A bit about me... I am laid back yet full of passion. I am very social and creative. I grew up surfing and love to get in the water when I can. Since I moved to Santa Barbara, I find myself hiking and riding my bike much more. I moved to California from the East Coast after college, and I'm looking for a girl to explore life with me. I owned an art gallery for 10 years, produced music festivals around the world and now have a corporate marketing gig in the outdoor industry. I get to wear jeans and flip flops to work, so it's not too corporate, I guess! I'd like to meet someone who can go to a black tie event one day and hang at the beach all day the next - someone who appreciates culture and travel, yet enjoys spending time at home. Someone who is just as comfortable in Manhattan as the mountains...and someone with great style.

Meet a man from Santa Barbara, United States. Ok let's break this down shall we? I am born and raised in Ca and have lived in Santa Barbara for 22 years. I live on my own (no roommates :) and have never been married, no kids yet. I work security in the ER. Challenging job but oh so interesting! I love to attend sporting events, especially USC football and the Dodgers. I also like to take photographs, hit the gym, people watch or just get outside. At home I like DVDs, watch some sports or have a fire on my back patio.
My musical taste varies quite a bit. I like eighties music, country and some punk. My favorite bands are Guns N Roses, The Mad Caddies, Alan Jackson, The Offspring and Depeche Mode. My favorite movies are Braveheart, Forrest Gump, Crash, Dodgeball,
Falling Down and Full Metal Jacket.
Random facts about me...I have over 200 shot glasses (don't drink though, hmmm)
I have enough hats to wear a different one each day of the month...
My voice was in a radio ad for Amstel light beer
I've met one American President. Can you guess who???
I've worked in a bar, hospital, preschool and hair salon...
Food? How about pizza, fettuccini Alfredo, Chinese food and sweet breakfast food.
So my "match"? I would like someone to share things with and quite simply, be happy :) I'd like someone who values and respects a man that is close to his family. I would also be Ok seeing someone who has children. I'm looking for a partner who would like a relationship but doesn't feel the need to make things develop super fast. Though I only get away once a year I would love a travel partner.Travelling is the best. I know Santa Barbara very well and would love to show someone around. If I missed anything send me a note and let me know, don't be shy!!!

Date single man from Santa Barbara, United States. Kind, loving, smart, confident, athletic, considerate, fun and ethical. That describes me and the woman I'd like to meet! I'm a conscious optimist and I look for the best in people. I moved to Santa Barbara about a year ago for a job I love. Living here surrounded by so many active people and incredible outdoor activities is my dream come true. I have family here and I'm putting down roots, so now I'm looking for a smart, fun-loving, and genuinely kind woman with whom to explore the world.
I find life and people to be endlessly fascinating. I tend to get along with anyone who can hold up their end of a conversation, but the people I truly love spending time with are those whose clever wits, educated minds, empathetic hearts, and smiling eyes make us fellow travelers in an endlessly enjoyable life-long discussion.
I’ve traveled to every continent (Egypt and Indonesia are highlights) and only scratched the surface of where I want to go. I’m a certified ski instructor and SCUBA diver. I work out 3-5x week, hike, bike, swim, SUPboard, play volleyball, soccer, and tennis. I'm a concert/event/movie fan, and not much of a TV watcher. I love trying new restaurants, but spending time together at home can be just as fun (more, I hope!) Other favorite things: being near the water (in/on/under) on a perfect sunny day, conversations that alternate between serious and silly, time to relax with friends and family, exploring together.
If it's athletic and outdoors, I'm always up for it. I'm high energy and high endurance and looking for an adventure buddy who is the same way! My family and friends are very important to me. I love children (especially my four nieces) and I'm excited to have children of my own someday. I'm not in a rush though; relationships are built over time. So for now, I am enjoying this incredible life and enjoying meeting people while looking for that amazing spark!
I have some ideas about who I'm looking for, but we are all imperfect, and love means celebrating what actually IS! Mostly I'm looking for a woman who, like me, will always do her best to be loving and kind in any situation.
Ideally, my match is a compassionate, beautiful, intellectually curious woman who will be a conversation partner for the decades to come. She will be my truest companion, advisor, and lover. We will work and play together but also have our own lives and aspirations. She will be as excited as I am to devote much of the rest of our lives to raising great kids even though it's often hard work. I’m looking for a woman who chooses to stay in life-long, athletic shape for herself (as I do). She should want to (and plan to) explore the Great Barrier Reef, Machu Picchu, the Pyramids, and why we're here. She will be fit enough to trek with me in Patagonia later this year for a week.
She's friendly and likes meeting new people, but she's not necessarily a "social butterfly" because she prefers meaningful conversations to fluffy chit-chat. She is a principled woman to whom respect, integrity, and loyalty are core values. She's a fun-loving AND responsible adult who handles life's curveballs with minimal drama. She will be ready and excited to take care in a relationship (as I am), and not simply to be taken care of.
Shared experiences, thoughtful planning, silliness and laughter form the unique, quirky glue that binds people together. Let’s share our favorite things with each other, enjoy some fun dates and fascinating conversations, and see what happens!
The right woman for me will be self-confident enough to take the initiative at times and interesting enough to think of something to say; if you think we'd be a good match, then don't hesitate to say hi first. (Don't wink; write something!)
