Date men and women from United States / California, 40 year old - page 4

Date single man from California, United States. Confident, sexy, articulate, passionate, engaging and classy are adjectives that best describe me, friends say. Life is busy these days, so the convenience of online dating works for me. Even though I work hard during the week, I play hard on weekends. I enjoy classy restaurants, sugar-free Red Bulls, lounges, outdoor shopping malls, art & wine festivals--and one of my favorite things to do is eat outside (not on my porch, but at a restaurant). I love all types of music and enjoy dancing the night away. My goal is to master the Cupid Shuffle; I bump into everyone on the dance floor during that song.
I'm daring, affectionate and bold, but always a gentleman. One of my favorite mantras is "Don't search for the catch; be the catch," and too many singles are obsessed with looking for someone they think will make them complete instead of working hard at making themselves irresistible. I'm a sucker for thought-provoking, intellectual conversations on a wide range of issues and if you capture my mind and imagination, you've caught me. I have a background in journalism, so asking questions is what I do best. I take pride in being a man and love taking the lead, but I've also learned that women are gifted with powerful antennas, so I've always been open to their input and ideas. At this point, I'm looking for someone to enjoy life with and see where chemistry takes us. So if you'd like to dance the night away, engage in great conversation, admire a shiny, bald head and enjoy life to its fullest, send me a message.

Meet a man from California, United States. Passion! Why live life any other way?
Being compassionate and loyal are two traits that describe me and in turn, I look for in individuals. Selfless acts are priceless!
Life is a journey and the best part is you get to decide whether today is going to be a good day or a bad day. My journey has been an interesting one, as I'm sure many of you can relate. What an incredible ride!
There is nothing more important than family and good friends. There will be peaks and valleys as we all know and it's character that perseveres.
Whether spending time on a trail, around a fire ring or at the beach, there's no place I'd rather be, than the outdoors.
Humor is an important part of any relationship. If you can't laugh at yourself and with others, you're missing the boat completely.
Relationships are a two-way street. With honesty, compromise and communication, great things can be achieved.
I wish you luck in finding what you're looking for and when all else fails...smile.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Distance seems to be a factor for most of the matches on this site, including me. We set a particular distance in which we would like to find our match. You should know that I am willing to make the effort where I see potential in a relationship. This includes driving a significant distance to see you and perhaps relocating should the relationship take us there.
Those close to me would describe me as funny, generous, ambitious and genuine. Simple pleasures include interesting conversation and intimate moments. I've done some travelling but I want to do a lot more. My family and I are very close and this includes my extended family.
Looking for a woman who is serious about herself and her future. Someone who knows what she wants in a man and can appreciate it when he delivers. With me, she can expect imperfection at times but she will also know that I will work to correct my flaws.
One thing I’ve learned about relationships is that the beginning is usually the easiest and most exciting part. It takes time to truly get to know the other person in terms of character and habits. One thing you can expect from me is that I will be the same man on our first date as I will be a year later. Being a confident person, I don’t feel I need to act in any way that is not consistent with my personality.
I will do my best to get a smile or a laugh out of you even at the expense of making fun of myself.:) That's just who I am. Life is short and I want us to enjoy every moment. To me, this means maximizing those special times.
If I seem like a man you would like to get to know better, send me a note.

Meet people from California, United States. I'm curious, adventurous, and open-minded. I love travel and new experiences, and take pleasure in simple things and unplanned moments.
I like going out to take advantage of the diversity of the city -- the Arts, live music, museums, restaurants, etc.,-- but also enjoy quiet nights in with a home-cooked meal and a bottle of wine. I also need to get out of town on a regular basis to explore and recharge in nature -- day hikes on Mt. Tam, road trips, backpacking, etc.
I've lived in S.F., mostly in the Mission, for about 15 years. I was raised in the Midwest, and my parents are from both coasts, so I have family and friends all over. My childhood travels and a semester in England helped spark a lasting travel bug. I've been to about 45 states, and I like exploring the world. Some of my favorite trips have been Vietnam, Oaxaca, Peru, Nicaragua, and Indonesia. I love visiting my sister in Hawaii.
I have a somewhat dry, witty and sarcastic sense of humor. I have goals and I like nice things, but I'm not too materialistic or status conscious. I'm politically progressive and try to make socially and environmentally conscious choices.
I love taking photos, bicycling, cooking, brewing beer, road trips, dive bars, independent film, Farmer's markets, hot springs, and NPR.
I grew up a liberal Catholic and spent summers at the local Jewish day camp, and while I'm interested in spirituality, the closest thing to organized religion in my life right now is an occasional yoga class and a walk in the redwoods.
Basically, I can show you new places and do all the cooking.
I'm seeking a kind, smart, self-aware woman, who loves travel, good music, food, books, and has a passion for new experiences both in and out of doors. You have a good sense of humor, are down to earth, socially aware, and financially responsible. You like going out, but also enjoy quiet nights in. You don't mind getting a little dirty, but clean up well.

Date someone special from California, United States. I am an east-coaster who has lived in OC for 5 years. I'm busy running a fast-growing company, but not too busy to make time. Work involves tons of travel- which I consider an opportunity (especially when I can tack on a few days to enjoy each place).
I hope these comments will help you get a feel for who I am:
I love red wine, but couldn't tell you what the hell "earthy overtones" or "grippy tannins" are- and I have little interest in becoming expert...though I can thoroughly enjoy a tasting, and won't embarrass myself at one (unless it will be fun to do so).
I'm a strong debater, and enjoy challenging discussion with the street-smart as much as with the over-educated. I see as much beauty in both. If you are both, contact me now.
Music fuels me - I listen to many kinds, but tend to not like the biggest pop hits.
I love comedy/comedians, but find something about puppet comedians really disturbing.
I might not have as much time to spend pouring through profiles here as I'd like. For that, I apologize in advance, and request that if you see something interesting here, send me an email or wink - consider this an invitation to.
I'm really honest and open...unlike a lot of OC'ers, I don't tiptoe around the real tough conversations. This is what real relationships are built on...solve the problems and truly enjoy the rest of life!
I have some habits that are traditional- opening the doors, walking on the street side, etc...but I am not a pushover
Trying new places to eat is a big deal for me- and the holes-in-the-wall are at least as good as the fanciest places (a mix of both is important).
Someone I am interested in meeting...
-is passionate about something - anything (and preferably a lot of things)
-may be someone who seems to intimidate men because she is successful, strong, and/or independent as well as attractive. Few things impress me more than independence
-can tolerate relative randomness
-is often sarcastic or at least appreciates sarcasm
-loves music and maybe coffee and desserts
-will give me abuse as much as I deserve (since I can be a smart-ass, this may require some effort), and be ready to get it back, all the while knowing that it really isn’t abuse
-is athletic/healthy and/or loves to be in good shape
-values some personal space
-is open to figuring out what we're looking for

Meet men and women from California, United States. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Patrick. I don't have any problems meeting people, but just seem to meet the wrong ones. Kinda outgrew the bar or club scene and weary of the responsibility of being set up by friends.
I'm a very active person. I enjoy competing in triathlons and marathons. I also play tennis, volleyball, weightlifting, golf, bodyboarding and rollerblading. Maybe the reason I'm so active is because I love to eat! I guess I live to eat rather than eat to live. =P I enjoy fine dining as well as the occasional guilty pleasure of fast food, and I'm not afraid of getting dirty in my own kitchen. I also like to relax while watching a good movie or even a reality show or two! ;)
I work as a Family Practice physican. I couldn't decide between working with children or adults, so I decided to treat both. Work can be stressful at times, but it's also very rewarding. At the end of the day, I leave work at work so I can focus on the many other facets of my life.
I'm looking for a woman aged 28-35 in the Sacramento area, preferably in shape, mature, open-minded, down to earth, intelligent, ambitious, honest, loyal, affectionate, adventurous. A good sense of humor and conversational skills are a must. I know that sounds like a tall order, but I'm not asking for anything I can't provide in return. I'm not looking to jump into a relationship right away, but ready to settle down should the right person come along.
You came this far, take the chance and write me! =)

I'm on here looking for a seriouse relationship I don't play games nor do I want anyone to play games with me. I'm a family man I do not got to bars or do much clubbing anymore I rather do family things. Don't get me wrong I like alone time with my special lady. I like going to the movies beach camping fishing riding quads spoiling my girl yes I'm a romantic kind of guy love to kiss hold hands im hard working and I'm great with kids I have three they don't live with me I see them every chance I get I'm a great daddy, I'm not a dead beat dad. I love to see a smile on her face to make her feel like the most important person in the world make her feel safe make her smile warm and fuzzy all over I am old fashion kind of guy I love to support my lady in everything she does.

Meet a man from United States. I'm a tennis professional from England and now based in Newport . My parents were from different countries , England and South Africa , so I had quite a traditional upbringing , however my influences are also European (think chivalry and romance) having lived on that continent for many years..Tennis has always been my career after turning pro at 17 , and I've been fortunate enough to see most of the world because of that.. Some words to describe me would be classy, kind, and PASSIONATE, with a crazy sense of english humour. Am also a giver, and one of a kind. I live life the way I want to live, I act the way I want to act, and I stopped trying to impress people a long time ago. However I do see the good in almost everyone, and try my best to treat people with respect and kindness. There is an intellectual side to me which you will discover as we go along. Anyway enough about me , lets talk about you!
Who would I like to meet? Someone stable, sincere and available. I am quite open minded with regard to looks. Over the years I've dated a number of attractive and highly desirable women in my life, and what I've learned from those experiences is that a woman's good looks come in a distant second to their character. Don't get me wrong, I like an attractive woman as much as the next guy. Maybe more. But you have to be more than just good looking for us to have a chance.
To sum up, despite my share of disappointments in life and love , I remain an optimist , why else would I be here?
Finally I should be honest and mention that I do have a drinking problem , my gatorade addiction ;)
Cheers

Date a soulmate from United States. Um.... I'm drawing a blank here... I will tell you this, Please don't bug me if you just broke up with your boyfriend and want to see what you can get... I'll never be good enough and I'll never be your 100% match and you will be too busy with your 150 E-mails a day to pay me any attention. I'll take my chances in the bar and if nothing else, atleast I know that they will look like their picture.
