Date women from United States / California / Santa Monica, 46 year old

Date someone special from Santa Monica, United States. At core, I'm a dancer gone corporate. In my first career I did things like teach retired army generals to polka on the Queen Mary. Now, I teach them the same thing but they pay me a lot more and we call it executive leadership training :)

I'm an old soul with energy and passion for life, love and the world. I'm very loving, affectionate, passionate and am happy to give and receive public affection. Friends say I'm smart, funny, fearless and wise. I say that I'm energetic, fun, compassionate, engaged, physical, thoughtful and intellectual without taking myself too seriously. I am very active. I swim almost daily, I dance, I walk. Less often I fly on the trapeze, bike, run, hike. Just got back from climbing Kilimanjaro. I've run a few marathons, danced thousands of miles, caught my layout on the flying trapeze and look forward to the next 50 years to do even more. I thought I hadn't travelled much lately but when Global Entry asked me to list all the countries I'd visited in the past 5 years it was more than 15. That made me smile....
I'm looking for a man who wakes up happy and grateful - an old soul with wisdom, personal courage and a positive sense of self and life. And, over that, how about the demeanor of a labradore puppy so I have a peer to play with? Would LOVE a playmate, travel companion, collaborator, a partner in life, love and adventure who has self confidence without too much arrogance (proper self respect, nothing more... right?) Each day is an adventure whether on bikes at the beach, in line at the DMV, engaging with family/friends or trekking in Nepal.
So, come on, live dangerously and wink, write or accidentally meet me in a parking lot!

Meet a woman from Santa Monica, United States. I'm an intelligent, kind, clever, active woman who enjoys my work and my life. I hope to meet someone to share my happiness, success, joys, heartaches, daily ups, downs, and also great dinners with some fabulous red wine...heck, dinner at Baja Fresh is good too! I live a healthy lifestyle, OK, I also love an occasional In and Out burger...I eat healthy, but I'm not obsessive about it. I just went to Umami Burger, wow that was good! I'd like to meet a man who is an outgoing, fun, smart, confident, respectful person who has his own happiness to share. I love a clever, witty man who can make me laugh, or just enjoy my sense of humor. I have been lucky enough to be successful in my business, acting, teaching improvisation and comedy writing, directing live theater and writing comedy for TV shows! I'm in the process of directing sketch comedy show at a theater in Hollywood! Comedy is my forte, I love a man with a personality who "gets it!" I love to travel, finally went to Hawaii for the first time - sooo fabulous, want to go back! As I said, I lead a pretty healthy, active lifestyle, I go to the gym 4-5 times a week, I like to cook and try new and different things in life! Would love to find a tennis partner-it's great, fun exercise! Am from Chicago, and I go back often to visit friends and family.
If you're under 30, don't have a photo up, or your pics are far away, you won't hear back from me...

Date a soulmate from Santa Monica, United States. Qualities I very much enjoy in a man: funny (to me), smart, honest, open, fun, goofy, spontaneous, adventurous, passionate, dorky, romantic, genuine, creative, sensual, intimate, good kisser (to me....it's subjective really), affectionate, thoughtful, self-aware (not to be confused with self conscious) and above most things a good communicator.....seems hard to find these days.
I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve. You will never have to wonder where you stand with me and I will always speak my mind.
I'm a bit of a "foodie" and love to cook. I am a big fan of any kind of travel or road trips. Love live music but I'm more of an El Rey or Hotel Cafe girl than Staple Center....LOVE The Hollywood Bowl. Enjoy going out to dinner and finding new cool places but also really love entertaining and cooking for people I adore. They don't seem to mind so much either.
Big baseball fan (White Sox) and I also love hockey (Canucks). Grew up in Vancouver so it was kind of "the law".
I KNOW that everyone says this......but humor is KEY. I am not really referring to jokes or you being some sort of comedian. It is simply this. There is something so great about that organic, nonsensical banter you have with someone who gets you....and you them. You can't force it or create it.....it just happens. I tend to have a dry, sarcastic, sometimes inappropriate, racy sense of humor .
Also...if you are offended by the occasional curse word...we are probably not a match. It is sometimes part of my vernacular and I don't think that's gonna change.
I try to stay healthy and active but I'm not obsessive. I live ten blocks from the beach....so I bike and walk a lot down by the water. Honestly, I really can't imagine ever living too far from the ocean.
I love music!...I mean I REALLY love it....all kinds.....it takes me places and inspires me more than anything.
Love to go anywhere I've never been and try anything I've never tried.
I taught pre-school years ago but now I work in Film and TV (same mentality, different age group :)
I am a pretty drama free gal and I'd like to keep it that way. I'm open, honest, easy to talk to and pretty uncomplicated. Looking for the same.
To be clear.....I am not interested in an email or texting buddy so if you are not actually interested in meeting...please do not contact me.
If I "favorite" you....it's not because I am too chicken to contact you and I'm hoping you will do so....it just means I didn't have time to write at that moment and I wanted to remember to contact you later :-)
P.S. If you can make me laugh.....I'm yours forever!

Meet someone special from United States. I can't live without: (1) A Sense of Awe (2) A Sense of Humor (3) Gratitude. I don't take things or people for granted.
I'm a classy sassy sunny Florida girl, just moved this winter to LA after a 12 year detour/adventure in Chicago. (I appreciate Southern manners/Mid West values/ a Global mindset)
Please: No Winks & No Shirtless Pics *unless* you're Surfing! Also, please only reach out if you're seriously out dating looking for a possible relationship that *might* lead to marriage/family. I welcome fun & new friendships, but no flings! I love the simple things brought by a good man in my life.
I'm not "sized up" well based on appearances. I'm always told I look much younger & have more energy than someone "my age." I don't believe in *defining* people or being defined myself by a "number!"
After being dedicated to very successful & charming careers, I'm now ready for a more balanced life, a new chapter w/ an incredible man who is also ready to share a fun adventurous journey together. I've never been married but that doesnРІР‚в„ўt mean I havenРІР‚в„ўt been asked or engaged. I have...& learned there are no guarantees & no perfect people. I believe couples connect best if BOTH souls are awake -living with purpose, passion, love in action...no fear. Together, we are: partners, uplifted, affectionate, inspired, supported, alive, silly, evolving, generous, grateful & infinite in our dreams/potential/hope/faith/fun/laughs, enjoying the ride & blessings together. Our love/want of each other *exceeds* our need for each other.
I've been told by many that I have "a lot of layers & depth." I volunteer in Haiti (began yrs before the quake) & was an International Relations major. Most seem surprised that I can "rough it." I climbed Kilimanjaro! No shower/toilet for a week!
I most def have incurable Wanderlust! I love traveling solo & sharing trips too! Bliss = experiencing new people, places, things; getting out of my comfort zone, having adventures, enjoying other cultures!
Look up the word UBUNTU! I'm passionate about connecting the world thru compassion & understanding -lifting humanity!
I grew up in Florida & also have family in Cali. I'm a beach girl thru & thru! Water & being outdoors makes me happy: SUP, surfing, scuba, sailing, hiking & snow skiing especially! Cooking, gardening, entertaining & chilling out = pleasure too! Dive oyster bars & fish taco stands are some of my fav places but I also love sharing city culture & a fab divine dinner w/ great conversation.
I'm blessed w/ an amazing family, circle of friends & mentors - some life long, some around the world. My friends would describe me as genuine, warm (a hugger), caring, grounded, talented, creative & outgoing. They'd also tell ya I'm cool, loyal, *love kids* & am nurturing of others at the neglect of myself at times. I'm the friend that's typically a fav of spouses (husbands & wives) & one that my ex's friends seek out to stay friends w/. They know I've worked very hard to earn all I've accomplished/experienced & thru the tough hits/losses in my life I'm resilient, always hopeful & observing the blessings/gifts. They want for me: a man who doesn't sandbag my experiences or feel intimidated; a man who's not a talker but a doer; is confident but not arrogant; has integrity; is authentic & sincerely appreciates me as I am & all that I am.
My Ideal Guy: Curious, Kind, Thoughtful, Generous, Compassionate, Passionate, Adventurous & Positive! Emotional Maturity is crucial as well as being happy & confident on your own as a single person -You're not looking for your girl to make you whole! I want us to ADD to each other's happiness not be responsible for it! My match also has healthy habits & a loving respectful relationship with himself. I really appreciate a worldly man w/ a non-judgmental mind who can converse about a lot of topics & be a goofball too! Bonus: You're as comfortable in black tie as you are in board shorts. :) Best Wishes! Cheers!

Date a woman from United States. Loving living in Southern California. After most of my life in a gray Midwest, this place makes me giddy.
I'm fiercely loyal but unafraid to call you on your stuff and expect you to do the same for me. Family matters -- not only the one I was born to, but my friends and the family I will make with the partner who's up to the challenge. Sure, relationships are about work and compromise, but if the rewards are there -- passion, friendship, laughs, uncompromising faith in each other, did I say passion? -- so worth it.
I can promise to give back exactly what I'm looking for: Fun, fidelity, honesty, passion, compassion and lots of laughs, most likely at both our expenses! Love? Well that would just be the best, wouldn't it?

Meet a soulmate from United States. I consider myself a successful, fun and easygoing girl who would like to find someone to enjoy the good things in life with.
I am passionate, loyal, value my independence but would like to share my life with someone. I am fun, easygoing, laid back, like hanging out..enjoy hanging with my family and friends.
