Date men and women from United States / California / Studio City, 51 year old

Date a man from United States. My female friends, all of whom are married, will tell you I'm handsome, smart, funny, quick witted and charming, but they love me so take it with a grain of salt, I do. However, what I know for certain is I'm kind, polite, giving and care about the feelings of the people I interact with and I look for that in a partner. I subscribe to the Santa Theory, "Be good for goodness' sake." I'm the member of my group friends come to when they need to talk so I suppose I'm a good listener. I'm gregarious but also shy. At a party you might find me in the corner engaged in quiet conversation with one person, taking over the room, or just being one of the group, it all depends on my mood.
Speaking of parties, is everybody here going out every night? I'm not. Mostly I cook, read, watch TV, play my guitar, work out and sleep. However, once or twice a week I'll go out to a pub, visit friends, see some live music, hit the beach and occasionally, dress up for a nice dinner.
Guitar and music is a passion but just a hobby. Still, I'll pllay a bit each day, it's a great way to relax and let your mind take a little vacation. I graduated law school, passed 2 bar exams (NY NJ) and promptly moved to LA to pursue a career in the arts (on a quiet night you can still hear my mom screaming). I'm a produced screenwriter, have been for 20 years. It's a feast and famine enterprise but fortunately I've mostly eaten well. However, it is a youth driven industry so I offset the struggles with work as a substitute teacher from time to time.
I was an athlete most of my life and still work out (swim, weights, bike) so I'm pretty solid at 5'10" 200lbs. However, I love good tasty food so there's generally a touch of meat over the muscle and I don’t' see that changing. Still, I'm in good enough shape to bike the LA Marathon each year.
My style is casual. I'm more jeans than dress pants but I do clean up nicely, despite the fact I only own 2 suits. I'm neat, especially in my home. I love animals. I never watch trailers for fear of seeing something similar to a project I'm working on. My ipod has eclectic tastes, it likes all music. I eat pancakes from the middle out. I spoon but then need space when it's sleep-time. I drive a CRV. And I'm a terrible speller. Oh, hair. Though you can't see it in the pics I have a thin spot in the back of my head (I just laughed for 5 minutes writing this, I'll probably never hear from anyone again, but I swore honesty. lol).

Meet someone special from United States. First of all, this is really kind of weird feeling to be talking about myself like this. But what the hell, here goes!
I am a Live Sound Engineer. In case you don't know what that is...Have you ever been to a big concert and you see the guy in the middle of the audience with the big console with all of the knobs on it? Well, that's me! I have done a lot in my life, and been all over the world.
I have shaken the hands of Presidents, and I have given hugs to newly sober Alcoholics and Addicts in pain. I have been to India and Pakistan on spiritual quests, and I have also been a soldier in the US Army. I have lived the life of Sex, Drugs, And Rock and roll, and I am sober now for almost 10 years. I am not bothered by others enjoying alcohol. I have played in bands as a bass player and lead singer, and I have built houses as a carpenter. I go on tour with bands and artists, and have been known to fly my girlfriend out to some exotic places for us to be together when I am on the road. I have been poor, I have been well off, and I have been poor again. I see money as being a necessity, not as an aspiration. I am not greedy, yet I am driven and competitive. I have the ability to feel alone in a room full of people, yet to feel like it is just me and you in a big crowd if your the right one. I am no longer a "social butterfly" like I was back in the 80's when I played in bands and mixed sound in NYC. I am a warm, generous, funny, sensual, giving, caring, honest, passionate, compassionate, artistic, intimate man. I am not interested in social climbers, or uncaring, selfish shallow, dishonest, women. I seek a woman who is artistic, loving, compassionate, sensual, creative and curious about life. I am not afraid to show affection, yet I am not a klingon either. I am seeking a partner in life. Someone who can be my best friend, my confidant, and my lover. Yeah...I am looking for the right one. It is really hard for me to describe who she would be because I can't describe what the future has in store for me. I have found that the best things that have ever happened to me were things that were put in front of me that I wasn't even thinking about or planning for. I guess that pretty much reveals that I am spontaneous, and love being surprised.
I am a one woman man, and expect the same from my partner. Trust, Acceptance, Honesty...these are critical to any relationship, and I have learned over the years that without honesty, a relationship dies.
I want to have fun with my perfect match. I want to laugh and be silly, yet be serious and contemplative as well. I was never politically active until I watched and saw George Bush get re-elected in 2004. That is when I saw Barack Obama give his speech at the 2004 DNC and I said to myself, "Why can't I vote for him?". When he announced that he was running for President in 2006, I jumped aboard. I actually contributed money, knocked on doors, and made phone calls to help get him elected. I have never done anything like that before. That is how much he impressed me. I just can't see how I could ever have a relationship with a "conservative". I just disagree on so many levels with anyone that could actually watch, and agree, with anything on Fox News.
I have a lot of love to give the right person, and I want to be loved in return. I want the magic! I want the lightening bolts! I have learned over the years that it is the best policy to be yourself, and not to try to be what someone else wants you to be. Eventually, a situation like that ends badly.
So if you are looking for someone is different, and doesn't have a conventional career, who is romantic, artistic, sensual, humorous, caring, and has seen a lot and done a lot, then you may have just found him.

Date someone special from United States. More photos here is more effective than more words, probably. You know how men visually oriented. So apologies about my photos, my dog ate them. Along with my homework. The Victoria's Secret, SI Swimsuit portfolios - gone. Even the high school cheerleader photos. Okay, not true. I have the HS cheerleader photos. And as long as I’m being honest (which I am, actually, integrity is good) I don’t have any homework, either. Homework belongs to my miracle of a daughter, who does her own. We study for her tests together, which is fun, even when I unnecessarily use algebra to solve fraction word problems. This is 6th grade math, people! The main thing is intellectual curiosity and appreciation of learning. Other lessons, not school ones, but life ones, turn out to be pretty useful. The kind that build strength, happiness, gratitude, and a bunch of lovely character traits that go along with experience and wisdom. But not age - this is Los Angeles - we can't be getting old here. Excellent sources, i.e. storybooks, tell us that girls are beautiful, charming, kind, and kissed by the handsome guy with the horse and castle, in the soft summer moonlight, once upon a time. (In the movies, there’s usually a big production number, like in the middle of Central Park, or something, and everyone sings and dances - very romantic). Anyway, the whole point being, the girl is never old in these stories. To get back to this story, which is supposed to be "about me and who I'm looking for" apparently, here are a few questions I might wonder about a gentleman: does he match his ties with his eyes (not really – no one cares about that - it just rhymes) is he confident without being arrogant, is he cool enough to be goofy and not care, does he like to laugh, is he intelligent, is he kind, does he know what he wants, is he proud of how he’s made his way in this world, is he caring and committed, can he solve problems and enlighten, does he live by a code of honor, ethics and values, does he want to do good, does he like to fix stuff and throw a football, is he still a boy at heart, is he a man’s man, does he love his family. Is he a man to respect and admire. And if he doesn’t believe the dog ate my photos, what about moonlight kisses.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I am happy most of the time. I love to laugh, travel, see movies, listen to music, eat, indulge in life. I am adventurous, I am not shy. I love people, I am generous to, and cherish my friends. I am passionate, love beauty in all forms, and look for the best in people. I am an animal lover.
I love learning new things, discovering new places, having adventures. It could be as simple as eating at a new bodega around the corner, seeing street art, or as big as traveling to a warm, exotic place. Did I mention I loved the beach? Or that I scuba dive?
I am a costume designer for movies, television and commercials, and am passionate about my work and although I enjoy all genres of costume design, I mainly do comedy, I find it allows me to be more creative, and to have a good laugh while doing it.
I love to kiss.
I hope you do to..
I am independent, responsible and live a healthy life, I do like to have fun and indulge.
I have a bit of an edge. I hope you have one too…..
I am looking for a responsible, independent man. Some one who is passionate about life and living it. An adventurer, a lover, someone who is kind to animals.
A hard worker. I only expect what I expect from myself.
As you can see, I am direct, but donРІР‚в„ўt be put off, I am sweet and caring, and really would like to find someone to share all of the good and hard parts of life.

Date people from United States. I'm passionate about everything I do-- including mountain climbing, cycling, my work and mothering two of the world's most fabulous boys. I've climbed on 6 continents and have had the privilege of having had extraordinary personal experiences, seeing the intense beauty of the natural world, and meeting wise and gracious people all over the planet. I am profoundly drawn to physical experiences that keep me in the moment, and work very hard, every day, to be here now. As much as I love a good adrenaline rush, I love quiet moments hiking on the trail or sitting under a star-filled sky. I've spent a good deal of time in Alaska, and I think that I would have made a great pioneer woman. I love to read, and to write, and to share great conversation with good friends. Some of the best days of my life have been spent in a tent.
I'm pretty independent, very creative, fearless and physical. I am very optimistic (perhaps to a fault, if that's possible) and enormously grateful for the many blessings I have. I am a very good friend and will move mountains for the people I love. I lead a healthy lifestyle, I hike and work out regularly, and eat healthy food (though I'm Italian so I can cook pasta with the best of them!) I place extraordinary value on what is real, and I believe in the power of passion, connection and chemistry. I would love to meet a man who places abundant value on family and friendship, kindness and honesty, trust and integrity; a man with a big heart, an open mind and a generous spirit. I'd love to meet someone who leads a healthy and genuine life and would like to leave the world a better place than he found it. I'd love to meet a man who loves kids, is creative, intelligent, daring, sexy and fun-loving. I want to be with someone who understands and respects my passions. You should be very active and love the outdoors. If the word "vegas" is in your profile, not preceded by the word 'hate', we're probably not a good match. I kinda feel the same way about golf and the country club scene. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's just not really my thing..... I also find that I relate best to people who are closest to my age, give or take 5 years-- and I would really prefer to meet a man who has been married-- or who has been in a substantial long-term committed relationship. And while I know that this sounds shallow, we all know that while the way that a person looks does not sustain a relationship-- but we all need something to start with-- particularly online-- and we are attracted to certain things in a person-- so if you do not have a photo on your profile, I am not going to respond to an email.

Meet a woman from Studio City, United States. Youthful spirit, manner, and outlook on life. Easy going, smart, kind, compassionate and creative, I do my best to live by the golden rule. I love animals, nature, art, music, wine, chocolate, kissing, laughing, traveling near or far, and enjoying all that life has to offer. I manage a periodontal office for my day job, I love my patients and find the work interesting, but my true passion is and always has been painting. I am an artist.who paints in oils, mostly tropical birds and florals, but have painted a number of different images and was a professional painter for many years. After taking a break I am painting again with the intention of selling my work once more. I read a lot and always have, mostly fiction. I work out at least four times a week for a hour or more and like to walk and hike. I take very good care of myself. Enjoy taking a ride up or down the coast exploring new places and rediscovering past favorites, watching old movies at home and going out to the movies to see new releases. Love seeing almost anything on the stage and have been lucky to have been able to see a lot of live theater over the years. The man I am looking for is ready and able to be in a committed relationship. He has put his past behind him and is ready to move forward. He is honest, loving, affectionate, a good kisser, kind, smart, and has taken the time to know who he is and what he wants in life. He has integrity and lives by the golden rule. Being physically fit and living a healthy lifestyle is important to him. He enjoys going out and having fun. He is easy going and doesn't sweat the small stuff. He knows it takes time and experiencing a number of things together to get a true sense of who we are as individuals and to see if we are a good fit. I prefer being with someone who drinks at least some alcohol. No cigarette smokers or drug users . Please have a current photo that you look like. I do:)
