Date women from United States / California, 40 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. Hey there, thanks for stopping by. I grew up in Hawaii and am an island girl at heart. I have lived in SF for the past 15 years, worked in finance for 12 of those but left it behind a few years ago to start my own business.
I was raised with two older brothers so I can throw a football (left handed I might add) but also spent alot of time with my very southern grandmother so simple gentlemanly manners are big in my book. My guy friends call me hot but also think Im a pretty cool. My girlfriends call me loyal & I can say I have a few that I have had for almost three decades & we are still close, crazy right?
On the softer side of things, I have a big heart for anything with four legs and fur (preferably that barks) and think my 2yr old god daughter is the best thing this side of heaven. I love to cook & seem to express my nurturing side quite a bit in this way and if you can hang along side me in the kitchen, there is sure to be some heat.
What else am I looking for? A great partner to settle in with, someone who can keep up with me (but makes me want to slow down), has good grammar (because I do), passable math (because I don't) and open to where all of this may lead. A quick wit is sexy to me and although attraction is a big factor initially, it will be your mind & heart that keeps me coming back for more. If you like to play to win in sports and in life I will be a big fan. And last but not least, I like a guy with style, that one subtle piece you put on that most people will miss (but I will notice) that gives you an edge.
There is much more but I believe this is all about chemistry, that connection you get face to face, eye to eye so drop me a line and lets see where this may go.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I love to laugh; life is too short to sweat the small stuff. I love music, singing, reading, hiking, yoga, cooking, and am excited to try what you enjoy doing. I don't watch a lot of TV, but I love to wind down watching the Daily Show and Colbert Report. I enjoy cycling, basketball and baseball.
I'd like to spend time with someone who has a great sense of humor, someone who makes me laugh that deep belly laugh that soothes the soul. If you are someone with a positive outlook who is content with life (while learning from the ups and downs) then we might get along just fine.

Meet a soulmate from United States. More to come, will definitely share more information if we match. It's like reading a good book. It starts slow and by mid point it gets interesting. You will definitely like the ending to this story.

. Hi, I'm maria. I'm a huge Lakers and Dodgers fan. I'm usually at the games or watching them on TV. I've got lots of gear to wear to the games, even a Lakers rally monkey! Tennis is my game when I can find someone to play with, usually it's a family member. I'm still looking for someone to rally with, care to try??? Btw, I love to bowl!
I am very affectionate with a big heart that I wear on my sleeve. I love to laugh whether it be at life or myself. Quite often it can be at me. I enjoy dining out with friends, not afraid to eat-I won't have just a salad for dinner :o) What can I say, "I love food". The most important thing in my life is my family, mainly my 16 yr old son. The person I date has to understand my son is my priority, but I will make time for a relationship with the right person. Plus at his age he's more independent. Hope you get the sense of who I am. I believe in honesty and communication because without it you cannot build any type of relationship.
I'll try to keep this short. You're a big kid at heart, but know when to be an adult, active no couch potato (Vegging out for a DVD night at home is good though). Looking for a man to share common interests or doing new things together. I tend to like guys who are close to their family & friends. They should be an important part of your life, as mine are to me. You are intelligent, sincere, affectionate, playful, honest, & down to earth. You also believe communication is important and can express yourself. I Hope to hear from you if you feel we may be a match.
*Thanks for reading my profile and don't be afraid to say hi on IM! Good luck to each and everyone of us on this journey!

. I am drawn to confident, positive, and funny people. I like the out doors, being athletic, being pro active, and I live a healthy life style. Having a good sense of yourself is always very attractive. I'm looking for someone who is self aware and down to earth.

. So, here it is. I am looking, I am single and I am happy, but I would like to have the luxuary in my life that some of us already have or still looking for- a great relationship.
I would like to find a partner that can enjoy the simple things in life, enjoys nature and is up for laughing together and creating an easy and drama free envoironment.
I grew up in Germany and that makes me love the European vacations and a good taste for rich foods. Being the youngest with 2 older brothers taught me to have a good sense of humor and also laugh about myself. I am kind of old-fashined and I appreciate if the guy holds the door open for me.
I am independent and prefer to surround myself with good people. I enjoy to swim or go for a run/hike around the Penninsula.
Enough about me. I would like to meet someone who also enjoys to eat, travel and the outdoors. Could that be you?

. I'm single, successful, independent and happy! I moved from NY to LA and love it out here.
I'm looking for a man who is established and confident..who has a good sense of himself..a man who knows how to have a balance in his life so that he has room for work and play.
I'm a romantic at heart...I pretty much wear my heart on my sleeve so what you see is what you get.
I believe communication and trust need to be at the core of a relationship..if you don't have that..you have nothing.
I am looking for something that could develop into a serious relationship and would like to meet a guy who feels the same way- that being said, you should be able to hold a conversation (both in person and on the phone) and not rely on texting/emailing as your sole means of communication (I only mention this as I've met several guys who believe its romantic to text/email like 16 year olds)

. Two more days, I will reach a brand new age... 4 0 !
Like they said, 40s is the new 30s and/or 20s in some cases, but just wiser.
I am so excited and looking forward to a fresh start!
For those that have been there, please share with me your ideas and differences.
Here are some facts about me in random orders:
I am 75% Vietnamese and 25% Chinese.
Born in Asia but raised in the USA.
I am currently living with my adorable 2 years old twin boys with background in German, Swedish, and Irish.
I was two times wearing a wedding dress.
However, I have never made them official or signed and sealed.
This third time I am hoping it will be a charmed deal.

Marriage minded and/or serious relationship ONLY please.

If interested and match what I am looking for, I would love to hear from you.
Have a beautiful day!!

. My primary focus in life right now is being mom to my boys (9 and 6 years old). When I'm with the boys, we are usually on the go. We go to parks, Legoland, museums, the beach, soccer, baseball, scouts, etc. Without the kids, I like to go to movies, work on the house, eat out, run, hike with the dog, or just be.
I am independent. I take nothing too seriously and laugh often; I have to for my sanity. I have an ironic sense of humor and like to joke with my kids (which has come back to bite me), and I'm loyal and loving. I have faults too, I steal my kids' Halloween candy when they sleep (shhh!) and freak out if they track in dirt after I've swept. But other than that, I'm pretty normal.
I'm hoping to find someone who is comfortable, happy, and secure. Someone who enjoys life and doesn't sweat the small stuff. On the other hand, I'm driven and focused and would like to see those qualities in the guy I date.
I love to travel and look forward to getting back to it someday. I've enjoyed Europe, Central and South America, Australia, etc. With kids, the travel has become a little more local- back east, San Francisco, camping, and local outings.
If you're interested to hear more.. email me!
On a side note, I'm noticing that a lot of men are lying about their ages! My take on that is- if you're lying about your age, what else are you lying about?? I would never continue to date a man that was lying in the first place.
Another side note... I'm laughing at profiles on match; guys that are mid-40's but are looking for women from 25-30. Really? Or, just read a profile where a guy has kids but wants to be with a woman who doesn't. ? Oh, and my favorite is someone in their mid 40's who wants kids "someday". WTF. Someday has come and gone!!
