Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Fort Collins, 51 year old

Date people from Fort Collins, United States. About Me:
Strange, never really put much thought into who I am. However here it goes. I'm a man of integrity, humility and dignity. I'm a hard worker and not afraid to take risks. I'm wise, frugal and can stretch a dollar until the cows come home, but also know how to enjoy the finer things in life. There was a time when chasing a million dollar fortune was my obsession, yet today I'm much wiser and have learned that TRUE love, family and seeing my children enjoy life is most important. We are not promised tomorrow and you can't take the toys with you but memories are forever. Call me old fashion, but yes, I still believe in family and love. I'm starting a new chapter of my life, and looking for someone outside my circle and trying this 'dating site thang" for the very first time. I hope to find "unconditional love" and my equal counter-part. I believe in respect, passion and being faithful to an extreme. I'm a GOD fearing man, and value honesty and loyalty most. I have nothing left to prove to myself at this stage having been there - done most of THAT from touring as a musician, to being a radio dj, actor, sports coach, teacher and mentor. There is NO mid-life crisis hiding in this man's closet! You'll always know where I stand.
Who I Seek:
Is there such a thing as a soul-mate? Not sure anymore but I'm searching. I seek a sincere, intelligent, loving woman in touch with reality. Someone who is not afraid to let go of the wheel, but can also take charge when the need arrives and run the show. I'm looking for someone who understands the meaning of commitment, responsibility, thoughtfulness, consideration, true intimacy, two way romance, personal sacrifice, and places as much stock in putting her family first as I do. I'm not looking for a weekly date, or a travel partner, I'm looking for a life partner. A woman that understands the meaning of WE not just "me". A strong, confident woman who is not afraid to be my rock, as much as letting me be her anchor. I desire a woman who does not live for material items, and is comfortable in her own skin. If you are out there, we might have something unique waiting.

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 Fort Collins, United States. I just resubscribed to Match after a self-imposed hiatus from online dating, and ready to give it another roll.
I live a somewhat simple life, and like it that way. Sometimes it's not enough to feed the soul however. I think hanging out in bars is out. I've caught myself lingering in the produce section a little too long at times, and I can sense the uncomfortable glances from the grocer.
I have well meaning friends who like to serrepticiously fix me up with blind dates occasionally, but I'm not sure that is the best way to meet someone with like interests. Soooo, its either back to the interwebs or a life of celibacy. It would be nice to have intimacy in my life again.
I'll be honest, I'm not looking for a soulmate. If you are looking for a soulmate, then I wish you the best of luck. I already have a well-worn soul, and I don't feel like half a person because my soul is not conjoined with another's for eternity. Does this mean that I can't find someone to love and to share the same space and time? Of course not. I believe that a person must learn to love and accept themselves before they can love another.
I was going to put down my laundry list of things I like, such as the sound of a thunderstorm, or my daughter's laughter, etc. I think that's somewhat disingenuous in a forum such as this however. These are things that one learns about a person in the normal course of time, and don't we all evolve anyway? I'm not too old to try new things, and I'm not too proud to admit if I like them. I won't pretend that someone will get who I am from a 1200 character bio on a dating smorgasboard. So, instead I will simply tell you a few absolutes.
I enjoy the company of people who are compassionate and tolerant.
I think that everyone is capable of making a difference in someone else's life.
I think happiness comes from within, and not from money and posessions.
I appreciate truth. I enjoy passionate discussions on practically any subject with open-minded individuals.
I like bikes. I like riding them for fun and transport (occasionally), and I like the idea that they are a simple, healthy alternative to driving cars everywhere we go.
I feel lucky to be the father of an amazing, beautiful little girl who lives with me part of the week. Time with my daughter is very important to me. I love seeing the world through her eyes and the joy she displays in little discoveries and achievements.
I could not live without good music. I love to listen to new stuff and can appreciate a wide spectrum (rock, blues, jazz, new age), but find myself trending back to the artists of my generation.

If you've read this far, perhaps I haven't scared you away. Maybe we could go have a cup of good coffee (one of those likes) and see where it takes us?
Ciao.

Meet someone special from United States. Looking for companionship. I like to take care of myself both intelectually (I like to read) and physically (l like to exercise regularly). Looking for an attractive woman with the same interests. I am healthy, take care of myself and my family. I appreciate and respect alone time. On the other hand, I enjoy tremendously doing activities together, and I love to try new things. I love animals, especially dogs, but have had parrots and tropical (salt water) fishes. I enjoy the outdoors (hiking and biking) but also love the indoors. I ENJOY a nice restaurant with a good meal and a nice bottle of wine. Nevertheless, I do not think a restaurant is the only place to have wine. I have a few bottles at home that I enjoy every now and then with a nice movie.
I enjoy my job, but I am not a workaholic. I value my job and I am good at it but I want to complete my life with a female companion. I like to travel. In fact, one of my objectives, is to travel outside of the USA once per year and within USA once per year also. There are many places yet to go and things that I need to do. I already started in 2011 and have kept my objective. The decision of where to go is something I wish to do together with my companion.

Meet a man from United States. I am Fully-employed and love what I do. I am in a Aviation field, and enjoy exploring new technologies and processes and working with other businesses to leverage networking opportunities. My social circle includes the "bluest" of blue-collar workers, and PhDs and corporate executives.
I can be loading and Flying a plane in the morning, and wearing a suit and making a presentation the following day. As a experience Pilot, I do whatever it takes to get the job done. I also volunteer as a mentor to high school and university students and raise funds for their scholarships and internships. I have traveled to 48 of our states, and still have Alaska and Hawaii on the list! I travel internationally on business, and enjoy sharing those experiences when I can. I started traveling internationally when I was a teenager, and have found travel to be the most impactful way to learn history, culture and to dispel prejudices.
I was raised in a mostly Italian household. Yes, I love to cook and eat! I love black olives, mushrooms and onions, and the Mediterranean style of Italian cooking. My uncle makes the best pickled eggplant and stuffed Cherry peppers. One of my favorite meals to prepare is Pasta Puttanesca, which is easy and fast to make, and is very healthy. I always try to sample the local fare while abroad, and bring home my favorite recipes. Pho from Vietnam, (I have not been to Vietnam yet, not counting my favorite restaurant in East Hartford!), Bibimbap from Korea and others. I make my own version of Cajun boiled peanuts, a taste I acquired while living down south. I love to grow and eat hot peppers as a hobby. Next year I will try again to grow garlic, as I make my own pickled ginger, mostly flavored with hot peppers! Yes, I reference my appointment calendar before indulging!
My ideal match: I am looking for a cute, sexy, fun, caring and loving. who is able to communicate lovingly and her approach is with care. Her family is very important to her. She considers being some what fit and knows how to treat a man who truly loves her. one who can express her feelings of need, and loves children. She likes to cook, She's not afraid to get dirty ie...camping, water fun, skiing in the snow but then also going out to nice restaurants. She likes to wear jeans but can be formal too. But most of all she's loving, honest, likes to laugh, can give and take and easy to get along with.
People must be attracted to one another for a relationship to start and to develop. But define attractiveness? Our society has put too much emphasis on what is an attractive person, whether through marketing of products or Hollywood's images. Sure, there may be that one feature or look that catches one's eye, but after that, it is the "whole package" that is more important. A great sense of humor, a kind heart, intelligence, a curiosity about things not in someone's normal life or routine, all of these combine to make a person attractive. Mostly, it is personality. I am most attracted to women who are very intelligent, witty, and challenging!
I think the best gifts are the ones that do not cost a dime. They are the things that a person does for someone special, knowing it is totally un-expected and will be most appreciated.
I believe in The Golden Rule, and apply it to my dealings to my work ethic and other relationships.
I am very new to match.com, and will be adding information and answers as time allows and I figure it all out. I am, and will continue to be, a work in progress, like my profile! Also, I am on the never ending quest of finding photos with me in them! Thanks for visiting, and for your patience as I search hard drives.
