Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Tempe, 38 year old

Date a man from Tempe, United States. I attempted to write a pithy, winsome profile, but failed miserably, so I’ll settle for something that is just short.
I suppose I’m an unusual mix, having grown up in the Netherlands, and gone to university in England. I’ve been in the US for a number of years now. Amongst many things, I love great writing, delicious food, and occasionally getting sozzled. I’m fascinated with the idea of getting really fit, but have always found the process to be prohibitively tiring. Likewise my virtuoso guitar skills, which remain largely aspirational.
The things I tend to look for in a girlfriend are fairly simple. I like kindness and intelligence. Beauty is nice too, though like most, I’m incapable of enumerating a set of characteristics that define it.
I said I’d keep it short, so that’s it. Obviously I’ll happily expound in exhaustive detail to anybody who wishes it.

Meet men and women from Tempe, United States. I am a man who is looking for a woman who know who she is and know what she wants in life. A wwoman who is not afraid to travel and have fun. I enjoy life and it would be nice if she enjoy life as well.

Date single man from Tempe, United States. I'm a simple old fashioned guy looking for the same in a woman. I grew up back east and can be a sarcastic smart@ss still so if you have thin skin I would probably anger you. Politically correct I am not. I still watch Goonies, it's my favorite movie of all time. What kid growing up wouldn't want an awesome adventure like that. I have 2 dogs, one I got from the pound, he's a mutt I call him my hood rot because he's mixed with Rottweiler and who knows what else and I got him from the humane society that's located in the hood. I also call him Wonderdog because he's never needed training although he's getting a bit rebellious in his old age. The other dog is an English Mastiff I inherited from my sister. He's a nutcase that stalks me and cries like a puppy if I'm upstairs out of sight for too long. I keep active and enjoy swimming and boating as well as riding (dirt bikes I haven't ridden street bikes in a while). I recently bought mountain bikes for my kids and I so I'll probably break a hip bone soon. I am also a single parent so I can't get away and travel to Australia (or probably even Tucson sadly) on a whim. A road trip for me is riding out to Canyon Lake. Exciting lifestyle I know, I'm practically James bond... except for the passports, cool car, looks and hairline.
Some deal breakers for me:
I am hwp and active and only want the same in another so if you get winded walking up a flight of stairs or choose to take one of the motorized carts at Walmart because you refuse to diet and exercise move to the next profile.
If you are in your 40's and are still trying to find yourself, living off of welfare, with no car and 5 baby daddies look elsewhere.
And if you are looking for a meal ticket, use drugs or lost custody of your children move along.

Meet people from Tempe, United States. First, I am a father to two beautiful teenage daughters. A true gentleman, comfortable in any setting. I am just a guy who started life on my own at an early age. I have had a lot of experiences; a lot that were good, and some bad; which have gotten me to the point in life that I am currently at, which happens to be...ready to live an adult life with an adult woman. I have seen the world tenfold and would love to see it again with the right woman. Is it you???

Date someone special from Tempe, United States. A friend of mine suggested I try out match.
I am witty, spontaneous, affectionate, respectful, athletic and fit, honest, smart, a good listener, thoughtful, a little sarcastic, and family-oriented. Friends would describe me as funny and fun to be around. I am great at finding humor in everyday situations. And I have been told I am real (genuine). I am not into superficial or materialistic people. Here are some fun facts about me: I tan easily and rarely get sunburn. I can bench press more than my weight. And I have juggled a soccer ball more than 380 times without letting it touch the ground.
A good match for me is a woman who is open, affectionate, thoughtful, smart, likes adventure, and has a sense of humor. And I find it attractive when a girl takes care of herself by eating healthy or exercising. I am interested in a partner who likes the outdoors. And it would be nice if she is creative or artistic.
I like good conversation, festivals, hiking, traveling, playing sports, and eating healthy foods. I can keep the conversation interesting. How about you? I am always up for a festival. And this area is great for hiking, except when the temperature is extremely hot. Traveling to other countries always opens the mind, and I get to see the history and talents of other cultures. Playing sports is a lot of fun. I play soccer, basketball, and tennis. Also I am into eating healthy foods which is part of the reason I have very low body fat.

Date a man from Arizona, United States. I was born and raised in England, but I’ve worked in the Valley for the last 11 years. My background is in science and engineering, which I continue to enjoy both personally and professionally – I find that however much I think I know, there’s always infinitely more that I’ve yet to learn. I prefer hiking in the many beautiful places that Arizona has to offer, rather than exercising aimlessly on a treadmill.
I’m seeking somebody who is intelligent and engaging, who is confident to retort when I say something stupid (there’ll be plenty of opportunity). It is also important to be your own person – unique and unconstrained. A large extent of my humor is based on sarcasm, so it is desirable for you to enjoy the art of back-and-forth banter.

Meet men and women from Arizona, United States. I'm a single father, that enjoys the outdoors, movies, I love to laugh and have a good time, a good friend, a good son, a great dad, I'm secure with my person along with my looks, good conversation over coffee or a good meal. I have lived in the L.A. area, Chicago, Sparks (Reno) Nev. and now call Tempe home.
I would like to meet a secure woman who is not afraid to make the first move, and see where a friendship takes me.
Between work and being a full time dad, I find it difficult to get out and meet new and interesting people.

Date someone special from Arizona, United States. Sorry, My account is set up to block "Winks" and "Caught his attention" messages..
I would like to spend the last three weeks remaining on my membership here on this website by thanking everyone for the abundant kind emails, and correspondence....This was yet another experience where I have learned, shared, laughed and most importantly, where I met a couple of great individuals whose friendship and time spent together will always be cherished.
Although, I depart here still single, I learned a lot about myself and the direction my life must take....I feel blessed for such opportunity to grow!
Good luck to you in your search for love, and in all your endeavors...HAPPY SUMMER!!
CARPE DIEM!!!!

Meet a soulmate from Arizona, United States. Live life powerfully, live a life I love. This is my state of being. I am aware that to think is to create. I believe in win-win and refuse to settle. While I am happy alone, my most beautiful dreams include a companion with whom to share this adventure.
ABOUT WHO I'M LOOKING FOR...
My King, the ruler of my heart, is able to handle a confident, independent, intelligent woman. Is clear on what he desires in life. He is well-educated, well-mannered, well-spoken and well-read. He is comfortable hanging out watching football on the couch as well as in a suit and tie at a charity dinner. Things we have in common (besides football): Always in pursuit of knowledge, Awareness and gratitude are a daily practice, Living in every moment with the passion to grow towards highest potential and create a life we love.
He splurges on great food sometimes but eats healthfully most times, sends flowers on non-occasions, texts just to let me know he's thinking about me, flirts with me everyday, challenges me to leave my calendar behind to do something spontaneous. The One man who I would joyfully serve for the rest of my life adores me and I him. He is kind, loyal, reliable and wise so much so I trust I can give fully my whole, complete Self to him and always be treated like a Queen.
My Love, I know you are out there; whatever path you now travel is that which prepares you to be committed to this with me; that your journey and mine are destined to converge.
ABOUT ME...
My best friends would say I am positive, outgoing, creative, loyal, a great mom, goofy and fun with kids. I'll try anything once (unless it has to do with snow Brrrr, tropics instead, please!). I have a serious side too. I rarely admit it but I am sensitive. Leader, optimist, and passionate best describe me. I am romantic but realistic. I give great hugs, enjoy affection, especially kissing and holding hands. I spoil the people I love. I am open to talk about anything and bold enough to approach any subject.
I would not describe myself as outdoorsy. I have never been camping but am willing to try. Would also like to try hanggliding, skydiving, cliffdiving. I've not yet experienced a cruise. I plan everything to the final detail (a strength weakness I think). I am NOT a fan of hunting, guns, or anyone who changes the channel during football (I've got things in my vivid, adventurous imagination we can do during commercials). I break out in hives in weather below 30 degrees so if you enjoy snow sports I will happily sit by the fireplace ready to warm you upon return.
I love being of the female gender. Yes, it does take me an hour or more to get ready for a special occasion - I treasure every moment! I enjoy painting my nails and doing my hair as much as I enjoy wrapping a gift beautifully.
Astrology is a hobby. I am Leo w/ Gemini rising, moon and Venus in Virgo, Mars in Aries. If you get that, AWESOME! If not, I will fill you in later.
My daughter lives with me part time. She's awesome! I adore children DEFINITELY want at least 1 more. If you're allergic to cats - get over it. ;-) Apparently I can raise a child and a cat but not a plant. I can't seem to get even a cactus to survive! I blame the cat.
I teach teachers of students with special needs. I enjoy resistance training as much as I enjoy wine and chocolate. I'd really like a workout partner but not essential. When I have extra time during the week I volunteer recording books for people with vision impairments and learning disabilities. Altruism is one of my innate charater traits. Contribution and service to humanity is important to me as is quality time with friends and family.
I sincerely appreciate you took the time to read my story. If you want to know more, please email me. MAKE today great!

Date a woman from United States. I find it very difficult to try and describe myself to someone I have never met; all the while trying to get him to keep reading AND feel a connection? Geez, now that's a lot of pressure! LOL. I consider myself a "real" person with no hidden agenda. I was raised by my single mother and understand that life is what you put it into it. I enjoy the outdoors, good wine, conversation, laughing at myself, a sunny day in Seattle or on the lake/ski-hill, anything to do with the water, watching chick flicks....oh~and people watching! I tend to be a little goofy, but my friends say that is part of my charm. Like most, I am not an AZ native and moved here from Seattle in 2006 to be closer to my family. I am very happy with where I am in life, but want to include someone to share it with.
My match: I believe that life is always providing new discoveries/opportunities around every corner. Most of the times it is the opportunity to make great things happen from not so great times. This is what builds character in a person and is an important trait in the guy I am looking for. I want to find someone who is comfortable with himself and happy with where he is in life, but is ready to bring someone else into it. My match is someone who is positive, supportive, trustworthy, laughs often~both at others and himself, loves his family, a fierce friend, and can enjoy staying in as much as going out.
Looking forward to meeting you!

Meet people from United States. My friends would describe me as fun, smart and independent. I am very family oriented and have been blessed with amazing parents that I love spending time with. I am passionate about my job teaching high school and it allows me lots of time to pursue traveling. I just recently returned from several weeks in Italy. I am also always up for a quick weekend trip. Keeping fit is important to me so I go to the gym regularly and practice yoga as well.
