Date a man from Arizona, United States. Hello. Here's where you don't get a multiple choice answer. My name is Mark. You're only born in one place, everywhere else you moved too.
I was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. My father worked for IBM when it stood for "I've been moved". I've traveled my whole life.
I grew up in Paris in the 60's, lived on the east coast in the 70's and 90's. Germany, California, Kentucky, Texas and Ohio as well.
Much of that was while i was in the Army. I served for 5 years. I was married for 25 years and lost my wife about a year and a half ago.
No kids of our own but we raised our niece. We moved to Arizona 4 1/2 years ago to be closer to her girls.
What is the most important day in your life? Today!
My motto has been, "dream like you're going to live forever and live like you're going to die tomorrow.
Music is a passion. I have a wide variety of taste. I sing as well.
I love to laugh and have a great sense of humor.
Life has and continues to give me gifts.
I do a lot of volunteer work. Giving can be as gratifying as getting if not more so.
Meet single man from Arizona, United States. I'm not your basic sports fanatic type of guy. I'm actually a sensitive person, who appreciates beauty in all its forms. I'm a lot of fun to be around. I'm smarter than the average bear. Did I mention that I play blues guitar?

Looking for soft lips and a great kisser. If this hits home, I'd love to hear from you!
Meet someone special from United States. I'm new to Arizona and am looking for someone to share my interests, explore news interests and have fun. Seeking women that are passionate about their lives and loves. I'll definitely reciprocate. Hope I'm better at spontaneous conversation than filling out this profile, finding this a little challanging to describe myself.
Character traits about me: Sarcastic yet positive, Intellectual but personable, Very supportive of my friends.
Where I've come from: Grew up in suburban Chicago, attended colleges in the midwest, mountain and pacific coast. Lived in the pacific northwest forever until buying a home here.
Have been getting to know Phoenix in the few months I've been here. Into sports, paticularly golfing, tennis, hiking, and biking. Still have yet to travel much outside the metropolitan area but am looking forward to that, this state is beautiful and so different from the rain forest I came from.
Date a man from United States. Now that I am on my own again I have been exploring new activities, people, and foods. I am looking to make up for lost time and enjoy life. I like sportscars, racing, bicycling, football, soccer, and movies
Meet single man from United States. I am an outgoing person who believes everyone has a right to their opinion but I don't like to hear about it all the time. I am updating my description about myself because I read it today and I really sounded like a fuddy duddy.
I am an ex-engineer, manager and consultant. I can possibly tell you how just about anything is made or built but I know that patience and skill is what it takes to get things done. "Those that know, do; Those who understand, teach" may be an apt description of myself. I appreciate and respect artisans, actors, singers, writers and performers maybe because of my jealousy of their skills.
I have done many things, once. I have been to 44 of 50 states and some foreign countries. Some visits to a state may just include a picture of a "Welcome To North Dakota" but I still include it on my list. For some reason, I have never made it to the northeaster United States though I do have family in that area. It is hard to say where my favorite place to live is because everywhere has something great if you look for it.
As I said, I have done many things one time, some things many times but have never really become addicted to any one activity. The closest thing would probably be swimming and if I could find a local pool here in Peoria, I would love to use it for exercise and sport. Since living here, I have discovered that Peoria really is in the middle of nowhere despite it's proximity to Phoenix, Glendale, Mesa, Tempe and Scottsdale.
I love to go out and do stuff such as dining, coffee, theater, shopping, antiquing, museums, etc. but I have found that one is really the loneliest number! I have discovered that politics and religion should not be discussed in a bar because it can only led to hurt feelings or a broken nose.
I will include a picture in my profile as soon as I attempt to figure out how to do it but contacting each other by e-mail or in person should be fun.
. The hardest thing a person has to do is explain all their positive attributes. It's like when someone tells you that they are honest you immediately think they aren't, otherwise why would they need to tell you? I think the best way to get to know someone is just through meeting and chatting.
I have subscribed to this site for awhile and will probably not continue much longer, but I wanted to update my profile one more time.
I have been described as a very nice and generous person. I do seem to go out of my way for my friends and enjoy being around when needed. As much as I feel complimented when I am told that, I think my best quality is my sense of humor. I can be somewhat sarcastic at times, but I do have a quick wit and enjoy laughing.
I do feel that it is still OK to be polite. I still open doors for a lady, hold a chair and treat them with respect. Some women may not like that, but I guess it's part of being "nice"
I have been very successful at what I do. I work very hard at what I do to be succesful but do not take either my job or my life too seriously. I work to live, not live to work. Laughter is very important to me. I can laugh at myself as easily as I can laugh at a comic on TV. Lief is good when I am smiling. I have met some women who believe job, car and bank account are very important to them. If that is your number one priority I am not interested.
I enjoy fine dining and trying new foods and reatuarants. I know - I could have copied that from anyone's profile, but it's true. I do not enjoy chain restaurants (I know - snobby, but I do not like them). I enjoy traveling to anywhere. Whether it is a short weekend trip within the state (I love Arizona), or somewhere exotic or odd. I can't say I have a favorite spot, I can have fun doing nothing on a beach, or walking through ruins in the middle of nowhere. I am also happy sitting in the backyard with a glass of wine and a fire burning (the fire works much better in the winter). It is very important that my partner is spontaneous and enjoys just going somewhere at the last moment.
So - who am I looking for?
As I mentioned, laughter is important. I enjoy the company of a woman is is witty, sarcastic and able to enjoy the moment. More importantly though is intelligence. Someone who is independent, smart and also succesful in their career and life. While many men can be intimitaded by a smart woman, I find intelligence to be a very attractive trait and can spend hours just talking, laughing and having a good time. Someone who can put me in my lpace with as quick a wit as me is important.
FInally, the person I find should be my best friend. I am looking for the woman who is the first person I want to talk to when something good happens to me, and the person who could help me talk out a problem when there is one. This also goes both ways. This is very important to me.
Drama is a big turn off! I do not bring any to the table and really have little patience for it.
Drop me a note if you want to get to know me a little more. See what happens
. I am not the typical 50 year old. Some might consider me immature because I like to often behave like a person much younger. I like to ride my motorcycle, play rock & roll guitar, listen to rock bands, drive a fast car, and live life rather than watch reality tv shows. I am responsible. I've raised two kids by myself, been a school teacher for over 20 years, and taken good care of my house and investments. At this point of my life, I feel young again, free of many responsibilities. I don't have the responsibility of taking care of my kids, they are grown up. I am financially secure and don't have to worry about a career. I am free and able to do lots of things.
My perfect match is an unconventional type of person. Someone with special interests, thinks for themselves, makes their own decisions, and might want to ocassionally take a walk on the wild side. My match will be physically active in sports or exercise. She might ride a motorcycle, play a musical instrument or sing. My match will enjoy sex, be sexually active and adventurous. My match is an attractive woman with a youthful appearance who cares about the way she looks.
. If the type of underwear I prefer is a dealbreaker, then we probably aren't a match. I am not exactly keen on the idea of being Prince Charming or a White Knight trying to sweep someone off her feet. Those kinds of relationships tend to be based on fairy tales and not reality (and not the Kardashian or Snookie kind of reality). Besides, all that armor would get rusty when I go on my mud runs and weigh me down. However, that is not to say there is no such thing as “happily ever after.” To me, it’s all about chemistry. It is chemistry that generates that great passion we want in a lover as well as the companionship of we want in our best friend. I am a romantic and consider Valentine's Day for amateurs. It's what you do when the jewelers, florists and greeting card companies don't tell you to do it that counts.
I do spend a lot of time at the gym, but don't need a personal trainer. If you like to work out, that is great, maybe we can exchange some different tips to improve. I completed a couple of mud runs and ready to do more in the spring. It is more about having fun than winning. I used to play a lot of softball and golf, but have gotten away from them as friends have relocated. I still love those sports. I like watching sports, especially U of A softball. I love to write and worked as a writer/editor for several years at a newspaper. Economics and other circumstances have taken me into government administration. I still love to write when inspired or paid. I also love to travel, but have not done as much as I would like, both domestically and internationally, I definitely need to get away each fall for some color. I am not a handyman or a chef, but not afraid to try some things on my own. I would rather do some of these projects with someone special.
I want to be clear that I am looking for a serious relationship, but am not looking to make it too serious too fast. I would like to have some things in common with my partner, but I am hoping that there are some wonderful differences that will keep the relationship interesting. I don't plan to change her and don't want her to try to change me. We can share differences without changing each other. I also know that physical attraction plays an important part of any relationship. If we do meet, I do appreciate the honesty if I am not a fit and I will be honest in return. There is no sense in wasting time. And while we can look at photos, nothing can take the place of meeting in person. By the way, I prefer boxer briefs.
. I'm an easy going person, others describe me as thoughtful and analytical. I like my job (computer stuff) and since I work from home, that gives me flexibility to set my hours.
I'm looking for a companion, a person I can talk with, enjoy a laugh, and maybe have some ouzo.
