Date men and women from United States / California / Santa Monica, 33 year old

Date a soulmate from Santa Monica, United States. First, a disclaimer: I moved from Santa Monica up to Valencia for a career change a couple of years ago, but I miss westside normalcy, so I’m shopping to buy a condo somewhere down there. Be back soon. In the meantime, I’ll do the driving, unless you’re dyin’ to have dinner in the restaurant chain capital of the world.
In general, I like to kick life's arse.
Professionally...
The medical sciences have fascinated me since my first college neuroscience class. I bucked med school though, and went on a little odyssey. When I taught 8th grade science in Spanish Harlem for two years, I discovered that paychecks were important, but that I would nevertheless envy non-profit workers for the rest of my days. When I worked in biotech, I discovered that intangible molecules, however powerful, kinda bore me. (And then!) I sold a surgical navigation system that enabled brain surgeons to yank out tumors through the nose instead of boring a massive hole thru the skull; this saved patients a two-week hospital stay… And got me hooked on medical devices. After that I sold skin for burn patients and fell deeper in love with the industry. I left sales and went into marketing / product development / sales training for a lil’ orthopedic company up here in Valencia about two years ago. We make some pretty awesome stuff that I become more proud of every day. I am getting an MBA, part-time, at UCLA. This kicks my ass 40 weeks a year, but I love it. Learning a ton, and my classmates are exceptionally bright, good people. Long-term, I will be a sales and marketing exec working with game changing technologies in the medical device arena.
Physically…
I have a presence in any room. I am tall, strong and fit. My eyebrows will blow your mind.
Socially…
My undergrad buddies are really spread out around the country and my high school pals are mostly down in OC. So until I went back to school, my LA crew was pretty small. Now it’s ridiculously large, which keeps things really fresh. Once in a while I’m the life of the party guy, but most of the time, I prefer hanging out with small groups of people, having good convo and lots of laughs. I am a real smartass and enjoy sharing my time with other smartasses.
Hobbies…
I’m a music junkie—mostly rock. (Pearl Jam, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Beasties, all things Jack White, the Shins, Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, the Doors, Nirvana, Mumford and Sons, Bon Iver… I think you get the idea: I like white guys with guitars). I go to lots and lots of shows. I used to read lots and lots of literature, but that’s the last thing I want to do these days with all the biz school reading. I get pretty fired up for Vandy sports and the NY Mets, but I spend a lot more time being an athlete than I do watching them.
Athletically…
Played football in high school. I was an offensive guard, which means you’ll be safe with me. A few years ago I became obsessed with triathlons. A back injury put me in the ER though and ultimately forced me to take a couple years off to heal. So now I just do the swim and the bike—no mo’ runnin. Doing these “Half-Iron Aquabikes” (1.2 mile swim 56 mile bike) now. Just finished a race in Portland and I’ll do two more later this summer in Tahoe and LA. Crossing the finish line is perfect elation—beyond any pleasure I have ever known. (A two-encore Pearl Jam show is a potential exception).
YOU:
You’re smart. Attractive. Kind. Down to earth. Reading this really novella didn’t tire your brain at all. ;) If you don’t love and want kids, hit the back button honey. You are either really busy and/or independent. (If you tend to sit at home pining for your boyfriends … back button. I’m awfully busy, but will make time if I meet the right girl).
Good luck with your search!

Date people from Santa Monica, United States. I've studied, traveled, am independent, registered to vote and I manage my life well. I have a positive disposition, am easy-going and patient. I am fun to be around, a good listener, and will open the door for you. I enjoy being outdoors, I am athletic, and have traveled extensively.
I have many interests. I have restored old cars, taught english in a Tibetan camp, drank Guiness and downed oysters in a gastropub in London, and hiked from Yosemite to Lake Tahoe.
You won't have to worry about introducing me to anyone because I've got a good social barometer and get along with almost everyone I meet. I am not looking for a casual thing, but for a great friend who I have good chemistry with and a strong connection.

Meet someone special from Santa Monica, United States. I am a teacher and i love my job!!
I love being outside in the sun. The beach or the pool it doesn't much matter.
When I'm not at the beach, pool, or working.... I enjoy movies, time with friends!!
I love my life; but it would be nice to have someone to share it with. Someone to hangout with, to see the world!!

Date a man from Santa Monica, United States. Recent East Coast professional new to the area that enjoys fitness, hiking, wine tasting, dining out and hanging out on the beach. I'm looking for someone who is active and likes to have fun. Also has a good sense of humor and witty personality.

Meet single man from Santa Monica, United States. I'm a laid-back, easy-going, albeit sensitive nice guy with an edge who could have long passionate conversations about food. I am serious and professional at work, but I'm a kid at heart that loves to make others laugh and be silly and goofy. Family and friends are very important to me, and so I give them 100% and expect that in return. I'm pretty versatile and get along with all kinds of different people in my life and at my work, whether it's socioeconomically or ethnically. To keep the hungry fat boy inside me contained, I try to eat healthy most of the time and workout frequently, play basketball and tennis, or go on a hike, in addition to all sorts of other activities.
I've traveled through much of the U.S. and several other countries but there are still a lot of countries and continents to go on my to-do list, and maybe a few more exotic foods to try. But after swallowing a beating cobra heart in Vietnam, I've stopped trying to imitate Andrew Zimmern or Anthony Bourdain.. If I could find my Amazing Race companion to jet set around the world with, and not want to kill each other in the process, life would be sweet!
My ideal girl is someone caring, affectionate, open-minded, easy-going, fun, spontaneous, considerate, and beautiful on the inside and out. Ultimately, I want to settle down with my best friend, my partner in crime. And if you feel like we'd get along, don't be shy, message me first! :)

Date a soulmate from United States. I make films for a living, which is my reason for living. :) Some other things that I like: Telling stories, writing jokes, taking chances. I tend to be more of the reckless, plow-ahead type. I enjoy traveling and I've been all over the place. I live in a great neighborhood that's fun to take walks in. I love hanging out at LACMA and LA's historical areas. I know a lot of very random facts. I think guys should be gentlemen and not dress like they're 13-years-old. I like mid-century design and architecture, indie rock, and late night diners. I watch TONS of movies and stay up on the big TV shows.
Personal quote of the moment: Fortune favors the bold.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I'm very social and outgoing, dedicated, and loyal. I'm super affectionate and love to give and receive affection. If you can't hold my hand in public or give me a kiss on the forehead you aren't the right person for me. I've accomplished many things that people define as "successful" but over the years have realized more and more that my definition of success is surrounding myself with loving family and friends that I can spend time with. Hopefully sooner than later I will meet the person that will be my best friend and partner in life. I'm looking for a real man--honesty, courage, kindness, humor and intelligence are a must! You need to be social enough to hang with my huge family and group of friends. Ideally a man who loves what he does for a living, but his work does not define him. Someone dedicated to family and looking forward to being a loving husband and father. I'm also looking for someone that ideally has similar interests as me. I love being active and outdoors and I love warm weather. Anything near water, especially the ocean, makes me very happy :) Going for a walk, enjoying a nice glass of wine and having a great conversation with a close friend, or just chilling out and reading a good book or seeing a good movie. I love to travel and really can't get enough of it. I've been to several European countries, Mexico, and Costa Rica and would love to see many more places in the world. I'm fluent in Spanish but would also like to learn another foreign language some day.
I also LOVE baseball and am a big college football fan as well.
I'm looking for someone that is serious about settling down. I'm not looking for someone that is trying to figure out what they want. If you want someone that is educated, dedicated, and family oriented feel free to contact me. I might just be the lady you are looking for !

Date a woman from United States. I'm looking for someone with whom I can have long talks with, but also have fun and laugh a lot,(warning to you: once I I laugh, I lough out loud!) go to movies (indie, old, new...), farmers market, theaters, museums/ galleries, and travel. I'm looking for someone mature who can laugh but also can be serious, someone open, tolerant, honest and loyal. Ideally you would be looking for a long term, committed relationship with the hope of a future together, but there I go; planning ahead far too fast... I treasure honesty and loyalty, and when I am committed to a partner, I will always live up to my expectations of loyalty and honesty.
More about me...I moved to Santa Monica from New York City (lived there for about 13 years) about a year ago, mostly because I adore the ocean and the climate, but also the more sincere and genuine way of people in general, at least those that I have met here so far.
I'm 33, and I'm a therapist for adolescents in a rehab center, and I love my job. I have almost so many interests that it will be hard to combine them all, and they tend to morph...I'm very open, love the arts, spending time with good friends, I love to travel, meet new people and explore new places. Some of my passions are to paddle board, photography, music, good company, sometimes very deep discussions, and sometimes being like a kid. I love yoga, walking and exploring, biking, and trying new things, when I have time I love to read, and stay updated on current events, and just see what comes my way...
I'm originally from Europe, somewhere between Croatia (father) and Italy(mother), but lived almost in all places around Europe (Switzerland, France, Spain, Italy, Croatia... and went to high school in London before moving to the US.).
At this point in my life I'm most of all looking for a friend; a parter who I can grow with and vice versa, a pattern where I can be just myself and speak my (sometimes sarcastic) mind. I'm generally trying to see the bright side of life, without ignoring the dark, and having faith that something bigger is out there!
Send me a note or your contact and maybe we can meet for coffee or similar?

Meet someone special from United States. Life in Southern California is amazing! Growing up in a tiny village in England, I really appreciate all that it has to offer (climate, beautiful scenery and an abundance of things to do) and feel incredibly lucky to be able to call this place my home. In my spare time, I like to be fairly active including running, hiking, swimming, cycling and I’m just getting into yoga. Last year I did my first half marathon, and this year I’m doing my first sprint triathlon. And I have to admit, I’m a little intimidated at the thought of swimming half a mile in the ocean right now, but I know I can do it :). I’m not a fan of the gym – I’d rather be outdoors, given we live in an area with such a great climate. I do like to relax at home or with friends too.
I like to lead a balanced and varied life. IРІР‚в„ўm very open-minded and enjoy learning about new things. I like music of all kinds including some of the great British imports (Coldplay, Adele, Florence and the Machine), Latin music (Gipsy Kings, Buena Vista Social Club) and even classical and opera. I love dancing to hip hop and top 40 songs (sometimes in my living room when no-one is looking!). I love concerts (Hollywood Bowl and Greek Theater are great). Singing in my car on the way to work is a favorite past-time. Everyone moans about traffic in LA but I donРІР‚в„ўt mind it because I like driving. Being from the UK, I know how to drive stick, although I do have an automatic here, because letРІР‚в„ўs be honest, itРІР‚в„ўs a pain to keep having to step down on the clutch in traffic!
I work in Finance in the entertainment industry (that’s what brought me to LA, of course), which is great because I can use my skills in an industry that fascinates me. I love all types of movies – recently I’ve enjoyed Midnight in Paris, The Descendants and the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. I like the big blockbusters too (looking forward to Avengers and Dark Knight Rises). The summer is great in LA for the outdoor movie season (picnics and movies = fun!).
I do love to travel and experience new cultures. I lived and worked in France for a year, as French was my major at university (somehow I ended up being an accountant…). I’d love to go back to India – it’s an amazing place – so vibrant. There’s so many countries on my list of places to visit – would love to do South America and Australia.
I feel very thankful to have such a wonderful life here in Los Angeles and recognize that there are many people who are just not so lucky. So I do like to volunteer and I am a mentor to a 15-year-old girl in a "Big Brother, Big Sister" type of program through work.

I am pretty laid back and try to always find the good in people and situations. I am a genuine, down-to-earth, honest, loyal and kind person. If I say I'm going to do something, I do it. I like to have fun and be silly, but IРІР‚в„ўm sensible and serious when itРІР‚в„ўs appropriate (like at work). Finding chemistry with someone is critical for me. Someone who will make me laugh is also key as well as finding someone who is smart and self-aware. I do like my own space and believe that for a relationship to be successful, itРІР‚в„ўs important to have some separate interests in addition to spending time together.
I had a very amicable divorce after 6 years of marriage. I think I was a little young when I got married and we really just changed and grew apart over time. I donРІР‚в„ўt regret the time we spent together. I donРІР‚в„ўt believe in regrets. Everything in life is a learning opportunity: good and bad.

Date men and women from California, United States. I admire a man who has a great sense of purpose in his life, who really thinks about and acts upon how he can improve his friendships, his community and the world.
I appreciate the unusual man who is authentic, who, by nature, would more readily admit his fears than try to cover them up.
I want to be your harbor at the end of the day, your safe place, your companion, your friend, your lover, your champion, your inspiration to be your best self.
I am a beautiful woman with many gifts to give. I know that there is a high quality man out there - is it you? - who will feel grateful and excited to share my gifts, as I will generously share and celebrate yours if you are the right man. I am committed to communicate in a positive, clear way so that you will brag to your friends that, unlike them, there is no bickering, no secrets, no game-playing at home.
I hope this finds you well. To wrap it up, I know there are great guys out there. If you're one of them send me an email and we'll take it from there.

Meet people from California, United States. A little about me: I absolutely love being in the sky. be it for international travels, skydiving, parasailing or learning to fly a plane!!!
Alright now when I am back on the land:), I like doing yoga, meditation, hiking, running on the beach, dining out, movies, dancing, going to lounges, hanging out with friends and family.
What am I looking for? If you are interested, I can send you the laminated version of the complete list:) Anyways, in a nut shell, we are all superficial beings and mutual chemistry is important. More than anything, I believe success to any healthy relationship is Respect and Communication.
Its important to me that the person I am with has a healthy lifestyle, active and takes care of himself because lets face it..If I like you and want to be with you, I would prefer for you to be around for a long while :))
I love to laugh and so sense of humor is a must. It would be nice to meet someone who shares the passion for travelling and seeing different parts of the world. Also, smart and ambitious men are a turn on. I just want to share my life with a companion who makes me a better person each day and we both help one another find balance in life.
