Date men and women from United States / Colorado, 51 year old - page 4

Date men and women from Colorado, United States. I know that everyone who joins Match has to somehow try to describe themselves in a few paragraphs...so here goes...
Young at heart...what does that really mean? If it includes a willingness to try new and different experiences, lifelong learning, trying to improve myself...learning to be a better Dad, friend, lover, son, and brother....then I think I meet a reasonable definition. At least I like to think so.
I’m a medical professional who learned the hard way that excessive work hours are not worth it! I moved to the Denver area in the summer of 2011 which allowed me to greatly reduce my “on call” schedule...a welcome change after many years of too many hours...
I went through a divorce 3 years ago, and am thankful to finally feel healed and free from bitterness. It was not always easy.
I have two great kids, who are turning out to be really wonderful young adults. My son is in college out of state, and my daughter is a senior in high school. I was incredibly blessed to have them live with me full time for the first two years after my divorce, but now am on my own. I am thankful for that time with them as a full time Dad, and miss them now that we don’t spend as much time together. However, they will always be a big part of my life, and we have a great time when we’re together for vacation, travel, or just hanging out at home...
Most people think I’m a bit younger than I really am. Not much grey hair yet; just a little dusting. For my 50th birthday I took an intentionally strenuous backpacking trip with my teens at high altitude in the backcountry of Grand Teton National Park. It was a great trip and maybe I just wanted to prove to myself I am still up for adventure...I am! Recent travel to Hawaii, Greece, and Turkey (Ephesus and Istanbul) has also wetted my appetite for more travel...
Favorite places I’ve been so far would be Maui, Istanbul, Moab, and Jackson Hole. Looking forward to snorkeling in Belize this summer and perhaps a trip to Italy next Spring...
Music? I cannot honestly say I like “all” kinds...but I do like rock, jazz, and classical. Not too into country although there is some I like. Rap, not so much! I still like music loud at times, and played the drums for many years...in bands from jazzy progressive rock to contemporary worship.
Favorite foods? Sushi, Mexican, and Italian...although there is just something about a rare steak on the grill with a good Cabernet that makes life worthwhile!
I like to cook, and do a decent job with pasta sauce from scratch (garlic, onions, sausage, pepper, mushrooms, etc) as well as chinese in a wok. Without a doubt, it’s nicer to cook for two (or more) rather than just myself!
Photography is one of my great passions. There is something wonderful about getting that great “shot” whether it’s looking at the back side of The Grand Teton from 10,000 feet, or trying to capture the cool archtecture of the buildings on Santorini.
TV I like? I am a bit of a news hound, but like CSI and crime dramas, mystery, and sitcoms like Modern Family and the Middle. But sometimes a week or two go bye and I notice that I haven’t watched any of them. There are times when a good book fills the evening better than TV ever could.
Who am I looking for?
Another young at heart soul in a woman to spend the rest of my life with...of course!
Someone to share the good and the bad; the fun days, and also the days when you need someone to just listen. Life isn’t always easy or fun, and we all need someone to have our back...to be there for us when work or life is stressful...and to celebrate when things all seem to fall into place. Someone who will inspire me. Someone who can nurture and also allow others to be nurturing too...we all need to be loved!
Do you feel “old” at 40 or 50? I hope not because we have a lot of living to do!

Meet people from Colorado, United States. Hey all you remarkable, together women, welcome to "The Profile Is Right"! We have all kinds of fun in store, and someone could get very lucky behind door #3!
Don Pardo, what does the lucky contestant receive?
I am well-liked, positive, respected AND respectful.
I am bright, funny, polite and a good listener.
I am loyal, faithful, and resilient.
I am strong enough to be gentle.
I have lived "Till death do us part".
I am a good kisser, love to cuddle, and I give great foot massages.
I am a recreational cyclist and skier.
I am a good Dad, son and brother.
I love Celtic and folk music (plus many other genres), and I have played music on KRFC 88.9.
I am looking for a smart woman who can be a best friend, with a gentle heart, a positive spirit, and a wicked sense of humor. I'm a sucker for a cute smile, nice eyes, and a soft voice. I’m not looking for a certain “personality type” or “look” or “situation,” I’m looking for my match.
Things that give my life meaning are: music, my twin daughters, our cats, playing in the mountains or the ocean. The awesome sunset on the day I wrote this.
Things that bring me down: bigotry, nasty gossip, intolerance.
I am a widower; to me, it means my marriage ended with my love intact, so most stories of the past are going to be positive. Don't worry, I really seem to accept people for who they are and don't seem to compare women to my late wife. It means I have to be there for my girls, as I am all they can count on. It means I’ve got some baggage, but it has convenient carrying handles and fits in most overhead compartments.
One more thing: I am worth your time. Good luck in your search!

Date men and women from United States. I’m a dad to a fantastic son. he splits his time with his mom and myself. My most important goal is to do my best with my son, and provide him a happy secure safe home and environment. I did not like getting a divorce because its effect on him, although I needed to be happier, there's no reruns. As my late Mom use to say 'live laugh love.' I have a great career, work hard but it provides me with time off for things I enjoy. Outdoor activities are a must. I like to travel, and scuba diving. I plan on diving all over the world. Enjoy playing golf, my game is in need of great improvement, just like most golfers. Life's to short for cheap wine, so there's nothing like a good glass of vino. Music, I need music. Like movies, going out or watching them on my flat screen. I enjoy sports, but not a fanatic I can not and do not care that I can not name all the Broncos by their numbers on their jerseys! Living in the foothills is great, air is cleaner, temperatures cooler, mountains closer, stars brighter. I also enjoy spending time in the city. People tell me I’m funny and I have a great witty sense of humor. Grew up back east close to the greatest city in the world NYC, miss the PIZZA, and the shore! I also enjoy cooking.
My profile is a work in progress. "Athletic and toned." Gymnasts and swimmers are athletic and toned! I am close to 6 feet, weight 192pounds. I believe that was the closest fit for the choices. Writing this profile is like a job interview. I never liked job interviews! If I was applying the company was lucky to have me. I work hard, and get the job done. I treat people with respect and this 'match' scene is most likely not for me. Have no plans of renewal.
I am looking for a woman with no drama, outgoing, caring and respectful of other. Great smile and secure with herself. Flexible in her ways with not a lot of 'baggage.' Happily employed with time to travel.
There is a lot more to me (and you) than a few words in a profile can convey. Straight up I'm very young at heart but extremely not into games and BS.

Meet people from United States. I've been away from the dating scene for many years, trying to meet people to enjoy life with. I enjoy being outside and I am typically very active. During my free time I enjoy skiing, fishing, camping, and golf. I have three kids, I see part of the time, and they are my number 1 priority. When my kids are with me, they will occupy my time. I am an avid runner; running 10Ks and ? marathons, and did I say I love to ski? My ideal day is a full day of skiing (one where you have the I’m an exhausted but so happy feeling) followed by dinner with friends and an evening of laughs.
I have lived in a number of places over the years, both here in the US as well as aboard. Colorado is still my favorite place to live, if it only had an ocean.
I don’t take myself too seriously; no one has all the answers. I like to try new things and travel to places I haven’t been before. People tell me that I am very laid back and patient. I am good with kids; after all I do have my own. I have taught a number of my friends’ kids how to ski; love to see their smiles.
Looking for someone who enjoys the outdoors and being active to share a few laughs with.

Date a man from United States. However it happened, treating my partner with kindness and chivalry is just who I am. I like to open doors, hold hands and cuddle together. Those who know me best know that I am loyal, trusting and confident.
I hear that women question whether men are truly romantic. I can't speak for all men, but I can tell you that, without a doubt, that I definitely fit that description. Maybe it was the influence of my mom, because she raised me to respect and appreciate women.
I am attracted to women who are, of course, beautiful; but my ideal partner must also be educated and stable. I'm looking for connection and mutual understanding, and know that the woman I seek is confident, outspoken, caring and romantic.

Meet single man from United States. Let's face it we are all here because we have failed at other relationships. We have all been hurt. I believe that I have what it takes to make a succesful relationship more than most men. What is that? I want to communicate, I want friendship, understanding and openess, fun ,and respect. I have the ability to love deeply. All based on compatablity not perfection. That said I like a feminine woman who can handle a little discomfort- ski when its snowing, or handle some rain. Intelligence, humor and easy going are big in my book. I'm not perfect, but willing to work on the rough spots to make it with my dream woman...
Yes I am a western man more than a city guy, but I am well traveled, into the arts and trying to live up to my Italian heritage as a romantic:)
Here is a short list of my acomplishments- draw your own conclusions Meet me if you really want to get to know me...

Date a soulmate from United States. I have never written anything like this before, so here is my best shot.
I love life, but not always what life deals me, but I believe you deal with it and move on.
I have always worked alot, spent so much time with my children (they are in college now), and now I have all this time and no one to spend it with. I am a very simple individual, sound values, don't smoke, no drugs, not into tattoos or piercings, social drinker, just love to enjoy life. Am not hung up on religion or politics.
What am I looking for? A partner who loves life and enjoys the simple things. Someone who has their ducks in a row, knows who they are, and smiles!! Someone with some common interests, skiing, golf, traveling, exploring colorado, and who can carry on an intelligent conversation.

Meet someone special from United States. Hello! I am a part-time empty nester with ample energy and ambition! I am hoping to find someone that is a very good friend and lover. I'm looking for someone with whom it is not hard to communicate with, who appreciates the "give and take" that has to occur in a good quality relationship. Someone to hold hands with and laugh with. Someone with good judgment. Someone who is sophisticated/experienced yet doesn't have to "boast" about that. I am looking to date and if something leads to a long term relationship...great...that will happen dynamically...at least in my utopian world.... :)
Okay I just read all that above and it seems somewhat picky, I don't believe I am, but we'll see how the response is.
Update (June. 2012)---Please read this...."I am seeking a mutually monogomous relationship/dating scenario".
With me you will get a sincere, overall "great guy". Really! :) I have an easy demeanor that matches my smile. I thankfully don't look my age (I'm told) and believe and hold to the cliche: "you treat people the way you want to be treated". I stretch-out daily and work out 3-4 times a week. I am slender and muscular --OMG! do we have to put these things in writing?! :) I am an excellent communicator, perhaps to a fault. I have been successful in business and yet still want to work for another 5-7-10 years (paying for my kids private schooling, horse, etc.).
I've been told I am very easy to get along with, have sharp wit and good humor and generally sort out issues with a "glass half-full" approach. I am politically conservative and socially moderate/practical.
I will add as people seem to be asking: I have 3 kids (22,19,15) who I adore and have it "way better than I did". I get along with my ex. My current rhythm is I have every other weekend on my own and about 2 weeknights on my own ("at this writing"). The rest of the time I'm on point with my wrapped-around-my-finger daughter although that means I'm just driving her around town ("Taxi Man"). My impresssion in meeting people through Match is good women seem to be treated not-so-right by lying men, giving us honest guys an uphill climb prior to meeting new people....let me say I will be completely honest with you as I sleep very well and continue to want to do so...come on, I won't bite, let's see where this goes! :)
