Date men from United States / Arizona / Glendale, 35 year old - page 3

Date a soulmate from Arizona, United States. Such a strange thing here. "enter everything that will attract your soul mate to you, or what you think will." LOL!
Ok, I'll try to be serious for a second. I'm a lover of life. My motto is a "life with smiles and laughter is not much of one." So, I'm basically a bit of a smart ass, but only to make myself laugh and hopefully the people I'm with. I've played guitar and in bands (not now, but) since I was 14. Art has also been a HUGE part of my life. I love to paint. I love to people watch. Human nature is the most entertaining and humorous part of life when witnessed.
As far as my ideal woman goes that's completely open. She needs to be confident in herself. Doesn't have to be a drop dead gorgeous model in societies eyes, but to me. Unique in her own way since I sure am. ;) And, most of all has a GREAT sense of humor. No boring woman for me!!

Meet single man from Arizona, United States. So this is my rewrite. I've been on Match for about 2 weeks now and have come to realize something after sifting through quite a few profiles. Anybody else notice how just about everybody is "outgoing", "open-minded", "loves movies", and is welcoming to "new experiences"? Now I don't doubt that these people are downright honest in their write-ups. It's just that things are starting to sound pretty generic and it's getting really difficult to get a sense for somebody's true voice and personality. Naturally, I go back and read my profile and guess what?? My profile sounded generic too!! Not cool. So here goes my attempt at being more genuine and unique:
I was born and raised in Southern California. I lived in Long Beach in my younger years and later moved to North Orange County near Knott's Berry Farm and Disneyland. While in CA, I was exposed to a lot of different cultures and lifestyles and believe that has really shaped who I am at my core. I moved to the Phoenix area in 2006 looking for "perspective" and a change of pace. I was also drawn by the prospect of being a homeowner. Many people don't realize how gorgeous it is out here and still, to this day, I'm still pleasantly taken aback by how courteous and friendly people are out here. Now I do miss certain things about Cali, but truly appreciate the wonderful things that Arizona has to offer. There are still a lot of things to cross off my Arizona "to-do" list!
So allow me to take some rather generic statements and provide some color:
"I'm family oriented." - My parents have been married for almost 40 years. My dad has taught me great compassion while my mom has taught me perseverance. They both have taught me about hard work and always being about family. I have 2 older sisters who are my best friends. My family is my motivation for everything in life.
"I love fine food, wine and cooking." - If you know what a Michelin star restaurant is, or better yet, have actually been to one, then you know what I mean when I say and think of "fine dining". Cooking has evolved into a passion of mine. I think because it reminds me of being a kid stuck in the kitchen helping mom make dinner. And I do take my passions seriously. I don't just go out and buy some Emeril Lagasse cook book from Borders. I go and buy an actual cooking text book (like one that a 1st year cooking student would buy for one of their classes) that teaches proper basics and techniques! If that seems nerdy.....it is! What can I say? I have an unquenchable thirst for learning and learning how to do things the proper way first before injecting my own creativity.
"I love movies." - I subscribe to Netflix and my queue is friggin ridiculous. You will find lots of foreign films, classics, and mystery. My all time favorite genre is film noir. I have much respect for David Lean, Hitchcock, The Coen Brothers, Spielberg, David Lynch, Scorcese, Coppola....I can go on forever. All films are an examination of the human condition. If you view and think of films in terms of emotions, themes, motifs and love complex characters then we just might see eye-to-eye on this one.
"I'm open to try new things." - I went to Japan for work a couple years back. My Japanese colleagues were concerned about my eating bravery, but I told them to order me whatever they would eat and left it to them. So, they ordered the sushi and put something in front of me and all stared while I put it down the hatch. Turns out that it was fish sperm! Pretty gross and disgusting, but I think I it proves my willingness to trying new things.
So what am I looking for in a woman? Is this where I jot down all those ridiculously generic phrases and statements like "down to earth", "witty", and "loves to laugh"? What does that stuff even mean?? We all have our own notions and definitions of those catch-phrase qualities that we would like in a mate. I gave you a little taste of mine. Send me a note and let's talk a little bit about yours.

Meet someone special from Arizona, United States. I'm fairly new to Arizona, I moved here last December. I grew up in a small city in Oklahoma and am in the Air Force. I have previously lived in Texas, Guam, Germany and Maryland before moving to Glendale.
I like to explore and find new and interesting things to do. At home I enjoy reading and listening to music. One of my favorite things to do is to listen to live music. I'm not much for TV, I don't have cable, but I do like to watch movies and good shows on DVD.
Sometimes it's good to stay home and relax but I like to get out and do things. I get bored just sitting in doors all the time. I'm just as happy to make plans, or to do things at the spur of the moment. I love going to the movies, theatre, symphony, the zoo, museums, camping, hiking, road trips and generally getting out and enjoying life.
I'm looking for someone who has a strong since of self, who doesn't need someone in her life but wants someone to share life's experiences with. I'd like to find that special someone but I'm not in a hurry. I take life as it comes. I hope to find someone who wants to get out and live life to the fullest.

Date a soulmate from Glendale, United States. This is my first Exp. with this Online dating thing. So i'm not sure about it, yet.
