Date men and women from United States / California / Santa Cruz, 39 year old

Date people from California, United States. I think everyone kind of wants the same thing more or less. Everyone wants to feel love, be connected with others, enjoy the sunshine, laugh, have fun, feel the sense of accomplishment...Life is great when I'm following my heart and right now that's leading me to sunshine and a simple life that is connected with cool, yet amazing people here and abroad.
I grew up a country boy on an almond orchard, best thing ever cackling with my brother while running through what seemed at the time and infinite world of trees to play in. Funny, I didn't know at the time that because my father hoisted my little 5 year old frame atop a lawnmower mini-motorcycle and then let me rip through the orchard as fast as I could, that one day...I would be on TV doing exactly that.
When I first started skiing...My poor mother could not understand why I never would turn...I would always tuck in a ball like I had seen on TV and went straight down the mountain as fast as I could. I know, why put this on your profile? Well, that's me. Going for it. Whether it's a sport, a job, a relationship or anything...if I think I'm going to regret not at least "Trying", I go for it and really try with all my heart. Most of the time the most amazing things happen that you never would have expected? And that's the magic for me! Sometimes it goes surprisingly well, and sometimes it ends tragically.
For example, I tried the career thing for about 13 years. Got pretty good at it. I had everything most people want once (Fat income, hot start-up, house, blah blah blah...) and then I sold it all and bought a one way ticket to Brazil...with no plans. I ended up living in South America for over 2 years. Why? Just thought there has to be a better "way" and I had to find out for myself! I was right, but it was also nothing like I imagined or how I thought it was going to affect me either.
I've learned we only reveal our true selves when things get tough or end tragically. In fact, it's all the things that pummel our egos and challenge us to get back up that make us who we are good and bad. When everything goes sideways, you can't walk anymore, your leg is cut in half, arm half ripped off, you lost your job, you have to poop in a pan, the pain in your heart unbearable compared to the leg, but you can still make the supermarket check out person smile when spending your last couple of bucks on a bag of frijoles? I have many tough character building experiences like this...and grateful I had the chance to make myself a better person from them.
I'm fairly assertive, good to know because I'm the guy that if you cut in front of the line whether it's me or someone else, I'll say something, nicely though. And if you give me any lip, I'll "Do" something about it. When I witness a car accident, I'm usally the first one out of the car helping not watching. It's about doing the right thing...that's my gig. More often than not, doing the right thing isn't the thing we want to do either...interesting eh?
These days I like to cook, play the guitar, surf, sing, train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and get lost in great conversation with cool people. I'm not really doing the super crazy stuff anymore...I think that time has passed. But if you invited me to a 63 day adventure from Cairo to Cape Town next week, I'd be there in a heart beat:) I do bounce back and forth to S. America as it keeps me balanced. I'm in the middle of trying to set up a secondary gig down there. I make my own way through life here with a business I started...it's tough, but feels good to be doing it my way if that makes any sense?
And well, it would just be awesome to have that adorable, down to earth girl in the mix!

Meet a man from California, United States. Here I am all shiny and new to online dating. I finished grad school in ?06 and since then I?ve spent little time in the bars or out and about meeting new people. In fact, if you don?t work downtown and aren?t interested in hedge funds, then there?s no way I would?ve met you before now.
Needless to say, my job has sort of overtaken my life and now I?m trying to get back on the bus and into the world of dating. First stop? Match.com.
I?d be lying if I said I didn?t want a relationship, I do. But I?m not about to just jump into one. I?m much more interested in meeting someone for a fun date and seeing where that takes us. I don?t jump into decisions at work and there?s no way I?ll jump into a relationship either.? For now, I?m interested in going out, having fun, and getting to know someone who will respect my job and all the time it requires of me.

Date single man from California, United States. I work hard but also get my share of play time and i'd love to meet someone who likes to have fun. Ofcourse who doesn't love to laugh but it's important to me to have daily doses of comedy.
Music is a crucial part of my life and enjoy playing in a band. I've always been passionate about singing and enjoy writing songs. My parents saturate themselves with music and have been in bands since I was a toddler. I listen to a wide range of music from Queens of the Stone Age to Elliot Smith.
I've always been fascinated with all modalities of preventative medicine and I'm very fortunate to be a succesful massage therapist. I've applied for Palmer Chiropractic College in Sunnyvale which starts in October.
I enjoy traveling and I'd like to meet someone with the same itch for seeing the world. Some of my previous adventures have been to Austrailia, New Zealand, Chile, Indonesia, Costa Rica, mexico, and Hawaii.
I'd like to meet a warm, affectionate, kind hearted, sexy woman with a few flaws for good measure. Hopefully someone in tune with where they're going and who isn't afraid to grow.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Have you ever noticed that all that self-centered essays are so terribly boring?
Everybody's a down-to-earth, fun and lovable transplant from some other planet enjoying life at such a degree that their jaw muscles become numb from constant laughing?
Let me tell you.
I am 38 year old divorced single man escaped from Belarus, the land of constant rain and aggressive people at the edge of nervous breakdown. So I finally got my shoulders relaxed and fists unclenched which is kind of great but I still have relapses now and then. That's why sometimes I'm getting all sarcastic, bitterly ironic and evil smile is wandering upon my lips. Go figure!
So in order of post-homeland therapy I tend to grab my bike without further notice and go places. I can also go grab my camera and spend couple hours shooting weird night scenes at freezing cold. Sometimes I drive to Watsonville to shoot 9-millimeter gun among fellow rednecks. And in winter I'm out there at Kirkwood skiing so don't try to find me in Santa Cruz on weekends Jan to March.
So in case you're desperate enough to hang out with some weirdo from who knows where feel free to share your symptoms via email.
Lets see how it works out.

Date people from United States. Most of my friends would describe me as talented, creative, funny, intelligent, easy going and smokin hot. I have a "lifes a beach" attitude. I have an off the wall sense of humor, very dry and sarcastic or I like to finish peoples sentences with words or phrases that are way off topic and sometimes offensive. lol
My perfect match would pretty much have the same qualities. :)

Date people from United States. Does anyone know the right thing to say here? What do you want to know about me? Just ask... I love to talk, not much of a writer. I know that I am interested in meeting someone new and getting to know them, be in a relationship even. The first time I meet someone I want to laugh and joke and see what we have in common. I like people instantly, but I learn to trust them slowly. I am the kind of person who is very loyal to friends. I am an elementary school teacher and love what I do. Being in that field, I value integrity and kindness and work hard to lead by example. I really enjoy a good conversation or story. Do you have a good story for me? I love hearing about people's lives and travels. I also would love to meet someone who is adventurous. I like trying new things: sports, travel, hobbies...whatever. I am not one to sit on a couch. Last summer I learned how to paddle board. This summer I thought I might try surfing and salsa dancing. So far the dancing has been fun! Look forward to meeting you :)

Meet someone special from United States. I am physically fit and health conscious (workout 5-6 times per week). Drawn to cultural diversity, I like music, playing piano, hiking, the beach, and painting (oil), cooking, I have my kids 50% and they are the love of my love, they have taught me a lot, especially patience.
I am a national of 4 countries (Europe is one them) and do enjoy traveling and learning about the different cultures, cuisine, languages and traditions.
I am seeking a worldy, kind and spiritual man for a potentially long term relationship --players can move to the next profile.

Date men and women from Santa Cruz, United States. Hey there! If you are looking for a partner in life, someone who can engage in an intellectual conversation but also laugh and be silly, then I might be your girl. I have a wonderfully full life and am looking for a man to share it with who values family, has a healthy sense of purpose, knows who he is and is comfortable in his own skin. He will be considerate, have a great sense of humor, and love my family, because they live close by!
Me? I grew up in Santa Cruz but had to move away for college to really appreciate the beauty of this place despite all the granola. I am financially solvent, emotionally secure, and ready to find a man to share my life with, someone who will join me on life's adventures and challenge my mind. Flowers and chocolate don't hurt either- I could stand a little romance....but just a little....
I love to travel and go on new adventures whether they be near or far. I have been fortunate to travel to some great places throughout the world and I don't want to stop anytime soon. I also like taking road trips and would love to see the Grand Canyon again. There is so much to see and do on this earth, it's incredible.
I am a pretty active person, and I enjoy walking/hiking as well as riding my bike. I also love to garden and working around the house. I'm always open to trying new things and learning what the world has to offer. I grew up water skiing, snow skiing and swimming, and have also ridden dirt bikes and jet skis. It's all fun!
I spent this afternoon taking my daughter cardboard sliding...did you ever do that as a kid? She loves it as much as I did!
