Date men and women from United States / California / Venice - page 2

Date someone special from California, United States. I was born in LA, raised in Germany (Army brat), grew up in Colorado and now live back in LA.
My family and friends are very important to me. They keep me grounded and provide the necessary balance I need in my life.
They are a constant source of love, hope and inspiration, all of which I'm very grateful for.
Music and Audio are also a big part of my life.
So much so, that about 6 years ago, I decided to make it my career.
For the first time in my life, I actually make a living doing what I love.
Everyday, music feeds my soul.
And through music, I have met and experienced so many awesome musicians, artists and like minded individuals who share the same passion as I do.
I do my best to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle by eating right (def no fast food) and exercising daily (running, yoga, weights, basketball).
I'm NOT a vegan or vegetarian, but on occasion, I will get down on some vegan/vegetarian cuisine.
Basically, I'm a big fan of food. So if it's edible, I'll probably eat it.
Growing up, I was an athlete and played a lot of sports, which ultimately made me the huge sports fan that I am today.
I always cheer for the Lakers, Dodgers, Kings, Trojans and because I lived in Colorado for so long,
the Denver Broncos.
I know most girls could care less about sports, but I can't help it, it's just one of those things that I find enjoyment in.
Between life and more life, I stay pretty busy, which has led me to give on-line dating a try.
I'm hoping to find a lady partner/best friend with similar interests.
One who has a positive optimistic niceness about her, with a side of non-judgemental kindness and a dash of creative open-minded artisticness.
I'm extremely attracted to individuality and determination. Smiles and eyes. Selflessness and compassion. Adventure and vulnerability. Sarcasm and silliness.
I'm not into drama queens, complainers, excuse makers or liars.
That being said, I'm definitely at a point in my life where meeting the right girl and being in a serious relationship would make me super happy.

Meet men and women from California, United States. I am a filmmaker, writer and entrepreneur living in Venice, California. I'm generally very happy with my life and what I do. I'm a good and honest guy, and I don't take anything too seriously.
I'm looking for someone who is mature, but has a youthful heart. Someone with intellectual curiosity and artistic sensibilities. Someone who wants to achieve her highest potential.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Hello! Welcome to the 4000 character or less version of me. I am an LA transplant from the best, most wholesome state in the Union: Colorado. That makes me a helluva lot less flaky or weird than most of the guys on here.
I enjoy lots of things - skiing tennis golf hiking eating camping drinking going to lots and lots of rock/indie/hip-hop/electronic shows (and COACHELLA!) - but more importantly, I look forward to you showing me something I've never done/enjoyed before.
More things in semi-colon form: I'm confident, but nowhere near being cocky; sarcastic but playful; I have the sense of humor required by law in online personals (and of course, seek the same in my match - as required by law); I have been told I have nice blue eyes and a cute butt; I got dork cred (captain of my high school debate team) but have long since grown into that certain type of mature, sophisticated dork that enjoys both Frontline and South Park.
You: fun, someone who lights up a room, witty and/or down right intelligent, pretty eyes, active, and agnostic or atheist a plus.

Meet a man from California, United States. Forever leading a creative life...that well of inspiration inside me runs deep and fuels the constant rediscovery and appreciation of my surroundings. Cosmology fascinates me. Camping in isolation energizes me. Photography satisfies my modernist compositional tendencies…with abundance and immediacy. Snowboarding is not a sport but a full sensory journey. I'm a fan of movies that speak without words on a visceral level. I believe communication visually and emotively can be a richer experience than words alone. You’ll never meet somebody who has consumed more peanut butter than me. Other than that anomaly...I eat to live, not conversely. My legacy will be the volumes of sketchbooks I’ve filled over the years. I’m a team player, but prefer tennis.

Date single man from California, United States. I'm not going to start this with "I never thought I'd find myself online dating, but what the hell you only live once". I'm also not going to say I'm 5'9" because then I'll have to wear tall Kim Jong Il shoes on our first date so you don't think I'm a liar. I'm an architect, an athlete, and an uncle. I'm someone that wonders why there isn't spellcheck on this thing. My profession is demanding, but I believe deeply in the life/work balance. What I do has something to do with design, a lot to do with the planet, and is extremely fulfilling for me. I was raised by hippies (not wolves, as the rumors claim). My family means the world to me and I look forward to recreating one of my own. (so that answers THAT question). I enjoy ragging on terrible tv shows ('extreme couponing', anyone?). I just had a nephew and think he is the most precious thing i've ever seen. I'm steady and unbaggaged. I believe in chivalry and enjoy spoiling who I'm with. I think its ridiculous that asian people change their name so it's easier for Americans to pronounce. I love sarcasm, but hate cynicism. I'll do almost anything if you ask me 3 times. I work really hard but I've got a lot of love to give. I know that I'm being too honest right now.
And who are you?
The catch of the century. Humorous, lively, driven yet lighthearted. Preferably someone that enjoys the finer things but doesn't take themselves too seriously. Do you have sass? Yeah, thats good. You should be comfortable in your own skin and curious about the world. liberal and compassionate. creative and intelligent. A woman (notice the term 'woman') that is up for anything but will also grab my hand and convince me to jump off a cliff. A woman that believes in women's rights but enjoys being a stone-cold fox. If you're athletic, we can play. Make me laugh and all this could be yours. Like a Price is Right Showcase. Think of me as the dinette set.

Meet men and women from Venice, United States. Above all I like genuine people. I'd love to meet a passionate, affectionate and kind individual who is comfortable and secure enough with herself to be able to enjoy life to the fullest; and to laugh at my dry sense of humor. Elegance and beauty is of course desirable; but not taking oneself too seriously is more important. I'd also like to find a girl with some kind of academic, vocational or intellectual pursuit to occupy her day and her mind....when she's not focused on me.. ;) ....and one who shares my burning desire to experience life through travel....

Date people from United States. Me: I’m independent and live life on my own terms. My home is simple and small and pretty much everything in it I bought with money I made doing what I love, found or was given to me by someone I love. I live in a community of 4 cottages where I share food and stuff, mostly with my 62 year old neighbor. I tend to contribute fresh squeezed OJ and probably the best oatmeal you have ever had. Although lately I have been making more dinner. I enjoy the simple things in live and love to share them. I’m sensitive and open to emotions, mine and yours. I am tender and supportive with what you are going through and what your working towards and hope that you can be that way for me as well. I want a physically and emotionally vibrant relationship where we can laugh, play, learn, teach and share.
You: Smart, confident, have your own opinions and are willing to stand up for them. You listen to others, acknowledge and respect others points of view even when they differ from yours. You're fit, passionate and sensual. Connected to your body and comfortable with it. Know what what you like, want and need in relationship and have emotional resources to get it. Willing to get dirty. Honest with your words, emotions AND PROFILE. Bonus points for athletically thick legs and booty.

Meet someone special from United States. I think one of most important parts of a connection is making each other laugh. I love to laugh and enjoy myself and like people that don't take themselves too seriously. I'm adventurous and love trying new things; food and travel being at the top of the list. I've been to over 20 different of countries and hope to keep up that pace. It's been close to 5 years since I left San Francisco for LA. I've been amazed by this city and am constantly finding new things from secret beaches in Malibu to searching for the best Thai food in LA.
I'm tech savy but not a nerd, ambitious and entrepreneurial but not to the exclusion of enjoying life, love sports and the outdoors. I don't watch much TV, but love Madmen, Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones I'm a fan of old movies, documentaries, podcasts, and youtube (TV on shuffle).
I love the ocean and outdoors. I sail, surf, Scuba dive, spear fish, and stand up paddle. I love to hike, check out live music, explore the city and find great new restaurants. I'm a surprisingly good cook.
The things that matter most to me are my family, spirituality, career and friends. I'm social and enjoy going out. I'm into healthy living, and try to get outside every day. I don't drink anymore, but don't mind if you do. I don't love work-outs preferring something in the sun like hiking, biking, running, surfing, napping, etc. I'm a decent cook, and I need help decorating my apartment.
I'm looking for someone who appreciates humor, is adventurous, open minded, likes to travel and explore, not afraid try new things, knows some great sushi places (or Thai, Mexican, Vietnamese, Korean, Italian), loves the outdoors. Also, huge plus if you love dogs.

Meet a soulmate from Venice, United States. Originally from NYC. I am looking for fun, sweet, athletic, intelligent women. A superior, quality woman. I am on here to cut to the chase and meet a lady who desires the same things I want, not interested in the bar scene or meeting someone in a club.
I come from a very grounded family and would like to have the same one day. I am an artist at heart and I like to to look at life from a different perspective. I am looking for a courageous woman who is willing to explore what this world has to offer, by taking a huge drink from the cup of life and who is not be afraid to let some spill over...... I am an outgoing guy but really prefer to be one on one, truly getting to know someone.
I am at my happiest in the surf, I love the water and the beach. It calms my soul and is where I am most at peace. I love the world and all it's madness and beauty but I want someone to explore and experience it with me.....Attraction is key...there has to be spark. I believe you have to be able to laugh with one another and make each other laugh. I want to learn from the woman I am with and be able to explore this planet together. And last but not least, can you feel comfortable together in those awkward silences...You will definitely not get to know who the real me is until we meet though, you can only get so much from a profile...............Please do not email me without a photo I will not respond.......Also if you don't have "time" to date why are you here? Everyone is busy but I "choose" to make time, it does take the effort of both parties....

Date single man from Venice, United States. Ciao,
who am I?
I was born in Italy a few decades ago, and after travelling all over the world with my job (which happens to be my passion too), I landed in LA.
I love cooking (obviously, being Italian, I guess it makes sense), I like to laugh, I like what I do at work and I sometimes tend to do it too much.
I am looking for you, if you are smart, have some sort of artistic need to express yourself (art can be anything I believe), somehow passed the "I am trying to figure out who I am" period of your life, can enjoy simple things, you don't have the urge to be constantly doing crazy things unless your life has no meaning. Like dogs, like the ocean, like someone that want to cook for you pretty good food (mediterranean and mostly Italian, which i guess is a good deal). Ideally you have a passion in life that drives you.
No interested in people that spend hours in front of gossip ao reality shows or a lot of TV, I just find it boring. Some sort of cultural level and awareness of history, world's cultures, what's happening around us is I would say almost a must.
Oh, please, have sense of humor.
ciao!

Meet men and women from Venice, United States. I work. I play. I'm open to trying anything. I think life is a constant process of new opportunities to live, love, learn and have fun from.
Born and raised in Oklahoma. I moved to LA over a decade ago and love it here as much as I love everywhere else; lucky to have a great job and friends too.
Living an active lifestyle is a big part of my life. Every sport was available as a kid, and I tried them all. Soccer was my thing in college and played on an organized team for a while here in LA. Running the trails in the neighborhood, trying to surf, some yoga, and now Crossfit are my main activities.
Are you into music? I play many instruments and have always associated with musicians. I share a recording/rehearsal studio with a couple of pals and graduated from college jam band into the LA scene and producing music with friends. We can get into the music conversation later as it could go on for a while.
Do you like going to see live shows? Theatre? Me too. Dinner and drinks with friends? Ditto.
Eating healthy is important. I love to prepare food with/for my partner and believe that buying local is cool. I spent many years slinging plates and drinks in restaurant/bars and did my own private catering for a while. Did I mention that I could cook?
Travel is always a hot topic here and I like to do plenty of it just like everyone else. My favorites include: NYC, San Fran, Chicago, Austin, and Seattle. Outside of the US holds so many desirable places I would go crazy trying to name them all.
Like most of you here I'm looking for a spark or something intriguing about another person. Maybe this website can provide another way to meet people in Los Angeles. I'm open to it and will most likely send you and email if interested.
I certainly don't know everything about myself and I am willing to learn and grow with someone into a couple that can achieve anything.
