Date a man from Arizona, United States. I AM 53 YEARS OF AGE WITH A GREAT JOB IN THE MEDIA INDUSTRY FOR THE LAST 18 YEARS. MY FRIENDS WOULD SAY I'M FUNNY, GENEROUS, COMPASSIONATE AND SOMETIMES PRIVATE. I LIKE EXPLORING NEW PLACES TO EAT, GOING TO SEE A MOVIE AND WORKING OUT. I SIMPLY DO NOT TOLERATE RUDENESS, OR MEAN SPIRITED PEOPLE. I'M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO CAN BE PATIENT AND ROLL WITH THE CHANGES.
Meet a soulmate from Arizona, United States. Does anybody read profiles anymore, or do we just look at the pictures ???
My goal ..."My next first date will be my last first date".
I moved to Scottsdale to be near my family. I am originally from Iowa (near Omaha) and I grew up with midwest work ethics and manners.
I am really 6'1" and 185 lbs...from what I have heard some of the guys on here forget how tall they aren't and how much in shape they aren't. I don't look (I am NOT photogenic) or act my age, not sure if that is a good thing or not, but it is what it is.
All my photos are current, except for the one with Ali. Please have current photos, I am tired of getting surprised when I meet someone and it looks like their mom showed up. Someone actually had a 23 year old picture...imagine my surprise when we met (lol) !
What I am NOT looking for (I know this might sound harsh, but I am just trying to be honest)...I put this in recently with a little trepidation as I didn't want to come off as bitter or mean. I am a fun loving guy who is looking for a relationship...so please take the following with care (lol)
--- I am not looking for someone that lives in another country, like Russia or the Philippines. I am not looking for a long distance relationship, so if you don't live in the Phoenix metro area, then I am not interested.
---I am not looking to be someone's Cougar, if you are ALOT older then me, please pass me up. 71 year old women should be dating someone their own age. (ok, I have to update this section as I just received an email from a 78 year old, scolding me for my profile...so sad !)
---I am not looking to rob the craddle either, if you are in your 20's, find someone your own age ! I am sure there are a lot of sugar daddies out there for you, so keep looking.
---I am not looking for someone that outweighs me, I prefer someone that is built somewhat closer to my build...slender and athletic.
__I am not looking for someone that is just out of a relationship and still has bad feelings about their ex, it is just a bad first date when you have to hear about what a jerk the ex was. Get over it or stop dating until you feel better (lol) !
__I am not looking for someone that feels the need to date 3-5 guys at the same time, I am lookiing for a long term relationship, I don't want to be the Thursday night date guy.
Finally...
I'm not looking for the one I can live with, I'm looking for the one I can't live without...
Date someone special from Arizona, United States. Describe myself..... I'm a 52 yr old single parent. Might as well get that out of the way! Like most guys, I tend to forget the losses and exaggerate the victories. Having said that, I think most that know me like agree that I'm both passionate and compassionate. At times, I think I can be pretty darn clever. My interests are my kids, sports and music. I listen to goofy stuff and by all accounts spend just a tad too much time reading the sports page. Among the last books I've enjoyed, Kerouack-On the Road and Ethics for the New Millineum -The Dalai Lama. I am not a prolific reader by any means and I'm a lousy speller. I like to have fun but try not to at somebody else's expense. I love to travel. I'm a sensitive guy. Back to my friends, they might argue I'm sensitive to a fault. I'd just prefer to think of myself as the classic hopeless romantic. Hmmm.... who I'd like to date. I don't know, but here's what I do know. I'm looking for friend. I am looking for someone who's idiosyncrasies compliment mine. Don't need somebody exactly like me, I've already got that. I'm not a hunter or camper, and when I venture to a lake all that I try to catch is a buzz. My goal is meet a friend and I have no other expectations. I certainly don't like being alone or plan to spend the rest of my life alone but I'm not sure that any objective other than making a new friend is a sound one. You bet I want to cuddle, and travel to the beach but equally important to me is just conversation at the end of the day, the one that starts with how was your day and ends with what are we going to do tomorrow. Hope that makes sense.
Meet single man from Arizona, United States. I am a very devoted person to my family, can be almost reclusive at home, unless I have someone to bring me out of it. I believe I'm funny and out going when I am out of the house. Some people say I'm flitatious, although I call it friendly. I've been divorced for about 17 years and have a hard time approaching a women about going out (I guess more out of fear of being misused again). I love discussing faith, although I have long since given up on churches and religion. I'm somewhat pessamistic about life, because of all the things I've been through. I don't celebrate holidays. I love movies and my computer. I do like sports though my body doesn't enjoy playing them anymore.
I'm looking for someone to share my interests and family values. I love sexual contact and it might be a little too much for some women, but I do enjoy someone who stimutates me in that way. I need to move slowly as far as a serious relationship goes, but wouldn't mind a friends with benifits relationship with a special person. I want to grow old with someone and want a person that is commited to that same goal and not try to escape if it gets a little bit hard. She must enjoy children because I have 4 from 18-30. Two have left the nest and two are still getting thier lifes in order, before they go. I'm not looking for marriage, just someone to share my life with that knows how to love and give of themself instead of always taking.
Date a man from United States. I have been accused of working to much, the right person perhaps could change that old habit and add some new possibilities for the future. I like to stay busy and not sit in front of the television a movie or cooking dinner would be a nice distraction

Meet single man from United States. Make the best of today and look for a better time tomorrow. Showing someone something they never saw before and see the lights turn on in their eyes.Teaching that anyone can do anything they wish to learn and watching them accomplish their goals.
. Looking for someone to who enjoys laughing, hanging together and will explore new experiences. They must enjoy sporting events, hiking, biking and concerts. Life is too short for drama and should be about living life.
. Would love to meet a gal that is giving. Being a salesman I get around Northern Arizona. I enjoy cooking and sharing a great meal and a bottle of wine. I love looking into the eyes of a beautiful woman and seeing a great smile. Let's get together and explore each others interest.
. A little about me. I was married at a very young age and now that part of my life is over. Now it's a new start. My company relocated me here less than a year ago so I don't know a lot of people yet. I like to have fun but I can be a little quite until I feel comfortable and then I can open up. I'm looking to find someone that can just be themselves so I can get to know the real person. I like doing anything outside. I spend a little time outside walking the pups and letting them explore a little bit of Arizona. I have a son that is married to a really nice girl and they have given me a beautiful new granddaughter. So I like to travel to see them a few times a year if possible.
What am I looking for? I'm looking for someone that is kind of laid back and not just one that enjoys bars and nightclubs a lot and definitely not a couch potato. Someone that isn't selfish and controlling. Someone that likes being around the pool or going for drives but likes to go out with friends and have fun too.
I try to accept people for who they are and not by how they look or what they have. I don't really care about the idea of seeing how many women I can date. I would like to spend some time with one person and then if things work out well for both of us great, If not then we had the experience and it's something to put in the memory bank.
