Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Gilbert, 48 year old

Date single man from Arizona, United States. I'm professionally employed, in great physical shape, an active father, and stable. I'm looking for decent women to date and take things as they naturally progress. I am interested in a longer term relationship with things ideally progressing slowly. Usually we know within 5 minutes of meeting whether to find out more about each other, so a meeting at a neutral public place like a restaurant or cafe is an ideal first date.
DETAIL
ME: My traits stem from growng up on a farm in N Michigan and progressing to a PhD and corporate research labs: like opposite sides of the same coin one side rough the other refined. I am a strong believer in the power of positive mental attitude. Though I love my professional career, I am NOT your typical scientist/engineer. I enjoy ecletic, upbeat conversation, taking great pains to avoid "talk tech". My occupation often is guessed as military or police, probably because of my muscular frame and upbringing in a strict N Michigan family. I have four boys aged 17, 14, 8, and 4 years old. The two oldest are with me all the time and the younger two are shared equally with their mother (and yes, the boys all have the same mom). I call my mom most every Sunday. (My father is recently deceased.) I call my older sister at least once a week; she and I are very close. My younger brother and I were about as close as two men could be; he accidentally passed away in 2008. Our aged black lab recently died; we're now considering getting an English Mastiff puppy. My boys love our two cats. I work two professional jobs (one is evening teaching at a local community college), am primary caregiver for my boys, immerse myself in my bodybuilding hobby, and tend a large home with pool and grassy lot. I'm still trying to figure out how to insert coaching football into my schedule; so far not.
YOU: I'd rather be less restrictive regarding a woman's on-line profile. I've met people from all walks of life each having an interesting story. Reading someone's profile can't come near to the understanding one gets meeting in person. Since I spend a lot of time in the gym and eat a strict diet, then symmetry suggests a slender or fit woman who enjoys working out as a better fit to me. I do believe in "instant chemistry"; my father - a biology professor - says it really is chemical in nature, pheromones. I am comfortable first exchanging emails, texts, or phone calls as a preliminary to see if meeting is worthwhile.
BODYBUILDING: An important part of my life is competitive bodybuilding. The positive benefits both mental and physical gained from this hobby at this point in my life make me mention it. Because of the exercise, diet, and sleep regimens bodybuilding is a LIFESTYLE and not something one does a few hours a week. My experience is that women either love or hate bodybuilders, so I clearly state this now. I post my bodybuilding pictures because it seems EVERYONE (including men) in their profile state they are "Body type: Athletic and toned". But statistically how can that be when more than half the general population is considered overweight?
My life is active but a special woman will be at the center of it. Thanks for reading and hope you find that for which you're looking.

Meet a man from Arizona, United States. Guess we all have a story-hopefully more good than not...but here we are.
I took a time out since 06 after divorce stuff-Gained sole custody of my twin boys 4 years ago. They aren't identical either and are 9 now and alot of fun too! We are starting another journey soon and moving to the Desert and meet some more friends to share some Great times with!
Hope you wanna check us out.
I prefer to visit here a little before meeting and see what we have in common. Am selective who I have my boys around and hope you understand my concern. I am a GOOD Father and don't wanna confuse my boys.
We are busy but willing to make time to meet and hopefully enlarge our circle of friends.....Guess that now you can decide if I interest you enough to make contact and learn more of each other-hope to here from ya and take it from there.
We will be spending plenty of time at the lakes water skiing and boating soon-my daycruiser will be back from new paint job next week then will get it ready for the lakes..I hope you like that kind of fun too-. I'm going to do a Powell trip this summer or early fall before it gets cold up there.
The sandstone cliffs should be great to checkout!
I'm looking for someone who enjoys seeing new things and isn't afraid to get her hair wet and have fun doing it. Who shines up nice and doesn't take long to get ready to go.
I'm leaving most my stuff behind and starting fresh but still have a home to go back to when I want to visit the man cave again and cool off or build a fire and enjoy some winter weather. And work on my trucks-no room for all the toys at the new place and a HOA to mess with but thats ok. I have good neighbors up here who keep an eye on my man cave for me in my absence. Will have to store the boat cause its too long to put in the garage at the new place but will have it close.
I hope to share the fun with my fresh start too. So if you are ready to kick it off- start typing and I will return your email as soon as I can. Am getting ready to go to the redwoods in a week and take a slow trip down the coast and get my feet wet on some beachs along the way with my boys-wish you were with us!

Meet men and women from Arizona, United States. I am a professional, stable, do not live in my parents basement or rent a room from a friend. I have been with the same employer for 26 years but when I am not working I love to have fun and looking for someone to have fun with. My son is grown and out of the house, I work four days a week so I have plenty of free time.
Although I do like time at home I also love to weekend getaways, planning trips, happy hours as a couple, movies, hiking, and just having some fun, I am very spontaneous which can be a good and bad thing as the same time, but grounded. I have a good sense of humor and looking for the same.
I do have a motorcycle, but I am NOT a Biker. I just little to do little breakfast rides and short trips when the weather is NICE.
I love escaping from the heat in the summer by going to Northern AZ and San Diego. Every year I pick a new place to go visit that I have not been before.
Lets meet ans see what happens, no pressure. If not a match, then maybe we each have a new friend.

Date someone special from Arizona, United States. A little about me... I am 163lbs of twisted steel and sex appeal, a lean, mean, love machine that likes to be held. :)) That sounds brash and boastful!!...haha! Luckily, I'm just having a little fun here :)) ....I'm not arrogant and full of myself. I am confident with a flair of lively sense of humor. I smile and laugh a lot...I hope to find a girl with a very good sense of humor who is honest in heart. A fun girl that makes my eyes very happy and my heart delightfully content. She is kind and unselfish, beautiful yet humbly down to earth. She makes me want to be the best I can be.
I consider myself to be a successful, confident, content, fit, independent man, looking for the same in a woman.
Thanks for stopping by...If you think we could be good friends or more, say hello!

Meet people from Arizona, United States. Little league season is over and I’m retired from coaching duty, for now? Between work and club baseball, things have been busy for the past 2 years. It was easy to find an excuse not to date. I work from home and my hours are “work until the job is done”. The good thing is… sometimes the job is done in a couple of hours. I grew up riding dirt bikes in Mexico, water skiing at Lake Powell and Havasu, and skiing at Mammoth and Park City. I would like to spend more time near water, preferably CA beaches, but I’ll take a Lake any day of the week. I was “learning” how to surf just before moving to Gilbert (my board has been sitting in the closet for 6 years). My life always has music in it, The Blues… Rock’n Roll, Old School Johnny Cash is as country as I get. I do have tattoos.
From what I’ve been reading in the profiles, everybody is looking for someone that’s nice, funny, likes to travel, camp, “active” but doesn’t mind staying home... Sounds good to me!

Date single man from Gilbert, United States. The integrity and the respect of my partner carries more weight with me than a pretty face. It is my belief that a person picks-up the traits, both good and bad, of the people who he or she shares the greatest amount of time with.
Thus, an individual can tailor his or her character by choosing carefully those whom one spends the most time with. Through my extensive experience, others recognize my trustworthiness, fortitude, devotion and loyalty by simply displaying to them an example of a nonjudgmental and generous man.
With a resilient upbeat disposition and nearly contagious smile my atmosphere seems to always be drama-free. However, the values I wish to obtain from you are humility, accountability, sensitivity and more patience.

Meet a man from Gilbert, United States. I'm a hard working loyal friend who is starting over after a long marrage. I' new to dating would like to take it slow and meet the right peson. I like to dine out, see movies long drives and intamate coffee where we can really get to know one another

Meet men and women from Gilbert, United States. Well new at this so not sure what I'm looking foe yet. Time will tell. Just looking for a nice woman at this time to go out with and have a nice time. She will have to be fun, sensual and most of all honest and loyal. I'm not into misrepresenting myself and would simply ak the same of the woman I'm hoping to meet.

Date someone special from Gilbert, United States. I like to think of myself as adventurous, but I’m definitively not a risk taker. No sky diving for me, and I have no interest in motorcycles. I like to travel and experience new things. Sometimes I like to go someplace just to relax, but other times I like to be very active and experience another culture’s history, food, and art. That reminds me, I’ve got renew my passport.
I do love music, especially live music. My music tastes run from indie to rock, blues, and very recently jazz. I don’t care for country, and most hip hop and pop. I've attended the Coachella Music Festival in 2010 and 2012. I've got some unbelievable crazy stories from this year. I'm strongly, considering making it an annual tradition.
I grew up in the Valley, and am a life-long Suns fan. I like to attend at least a half dozen games, or so, a season. I prefer Arena Football to the NFL. I don’t golf; I’d rather hike.
I enjoy an occasional import or craft brew. Life is too short to drink bad beer. I joined a homebrewing club, and assisted in the brewing of my first beer; a chocolate-orange infused porter. I've gotten mostly positive comments on it.
I have an extensive collection of boardgames.
I have three smart, talented, beautiful daughters who range in age from 5 to 11. I have them 50% of the time, so I'm not available on a whim, but I'm guessing most women will get that, and that they are my #1 priority.
I've been separated for over a year, and my divorce is in process.
I like a smart, strong, independent woman, who is both passionate and compassionate. It also helps if they think I'm funny, except when I stub my toes.

Meet people from Gilbert, United States. Have you ever found yourself in a romantic setting - ALONE? Sitting on the beach, watching that incredible sunset without someone to share it with is, well, anti-climatic to say the least. So - I've decided to lead a personal crusade to eliminate "solo sunsets".
As a small business-owner with a flair for marketing and promotion, I've found it's often tough to use the skills that work so well in business to market yourself, but I'm willing to give it a try.
Let's see: Good value, Great return, Low mileage, Virtually No Maintenance, Incredible opportunity, act now before it's too late.....OK, enough with the marketing.....
Here's what you may want to know about me...
As an Arizona transplant (from Orange County, CA), I've learned to endure the summer heat, but still anxiously await the evening storms. There's nothing more exciting than the lightning flash and booming thunder shortly thereafter. The rain drops and the smell of static electricity are something you don't see too often in So. California.
I've come to better appreciate the "little" things in life. I enjoy relaxing with a cold drink after a long day of work. I don't mind doing yard work, especially if I can take a dip in the pool when I'm done.
My job takes me to fun, exotic places (yes, the same destinations that often lead to that dreaded "solo sunset") - I have a passion for scuba diving, so if you like the water, I'm always ready to take the plunge.
For me, it's about significance over substance. To that end, I'm planning to participate in some mission and charity trips with my church. There is no substitute for doing something that truly makes a difference.
Is your passport current and would you care to join me?
