Date men and women from California, United States. Hi there this is Ken, and thanks for checking out my profile!! ;)) Summer 2012 is here and I'm single and ready!
So here we all are on Match.com in this modern hi-tech age of dating. My friends would describe me as fun, zany, goofy, nerdy, bold, funky, social, nice-looking, unique, chatty, and smart--all at the same time! JK haha ;) I take care of myself by working out at the gym, not smoking, and no drugs, thus I look younger than my age. Im youthful in looks, spirit, and energy, but have the experience, confidence, and wisdom of someone older. BTW my hair is longer now than my primary pic.
As you can see I have many different looks from clean cut hair plastered back shirt and tie to shaggy surfer! I'm in the prime of my life emotionally and physically (note--People Magazine's sexiest men alive--all in their 40s haha!!). I was raised mostly overseas in the Caribbean and Asia, and I've traveled the world--Ive been to Europe, India, Hong Kong, Australia, and Fiji. But Im from the San Francisco area originally and came to Sou Cal out of high school to go to UC Irvine.
I'm looking to meet a nice, sweet girl who is grounded in reality and wants to have a great first date and go from there! A decent first date is meeting up for coffee or a drink. If I wink at you, I'm testing your interest. If you wink back, then I will follow up with an email. I'm up for anything. And don't be afraid to wink at me or send an email-I'm super cool! :) ****I'm NOT looking for a girl who has a strict list of requirements, who wants a sugar daddy, or who is collecting emails from 100 different guys and nitpicking. Let's focus on creating something special together, rather than jumping onto the next profile, and the next one****
Some more interesting things about me are...I like watching TV shows--Tough Love, House Hunters InternationaI, River Monsters, Off Limits, Speed, CNN, etc. I collect nice watches, my hair sucks, I took 5 years of Spanish, I have a thing for fast and dangerous machines, I used to be a champion sailor, I do auto detailing, I was an amateur DJ back in college, some of my fave movies are 40 Year Old Virgin, Deuce Bigalow, Zohan, The Dictator (Aladeen!) and of course all James Bond movies!, I like the smell of a store, my room is decorated is Italian baroque, and I like different things like clothes and colognes.
I look forward to speaking with you! :))
Meet someone special from California, United States. Write about me? Ok, here goes...
I laugh every chance I get, and enjoy making people smile. I can be a goofball, but am passionate and old fashioned in many ways. A lady's got to have a sense of style, the ability to run in heels, a spark in her eye and a killer smile. Nothing's more attractive than a woman with a gorgeous smile.
I love to live an active life and explore. I enjoy the outdoors, the beach, discovering new places, catching the latest movie (especially comedies), playing guitar, hanging out with friends and meeting new people. The Mountain Winery is one of my favorite venues to frequent since it blends my love for music, outdoor landscape and fun people. Salsa, anyone? I'm taking lessons now, but I bet you dinner we'll be lighting the dance floor like pro's in no time. Ah, and food...are you an adventuresome eater? Bring on the ethnic food! My fav foods are Thai, Italian, Greek, Indian and BBQ to name a few. What's yours?
I'd love to share laughs with someone special. Might that be you? Send me a note and let's find out. Thanks for reading my profile.

Date men and women from United States. I have spent the majority of my adult life working as an executive in the restaurant industry. Today, I lead Research & Development for a large restaurant chain based in Southern, CA. I have a couple degrees in Culinary Arts and Business and I have an equal passion for both diciplines. Having grown up as a working chef, I have learned to appreciate the relationship between family, food, and fun. I signed on to Match last year in the hope that I may find a network of friends with whom I may find a connection. It's indeed a challenge to find time to meet people when you are consumed with work, etc. My hope is that there is someone out there looking for me. Perhaps she's reading this message right now. In any event, this is my SOS to the world and I hope that someone get's my message in a bottle :-).
Meet someone special from United States. I've heard the odds are over 1000 to 1 that you will find someone on Match.com. - - - - - So.... You're saying I have a chance! : )
Great! I'm in!! About Me : I am very grounded and laid back - Love my work - Love good wine - Love the beach and absolutely love summer!
I enjoy surfing every chance I get (cold water, sunshine and a couple of passer-by dolphins = always a good day in my opinion). Don't do drugs or smoke. Love to run on the beach every morning. I enjoy getting to know somebody new and meeting new people in any setting. My friends say I am fun, adventurous, caring and compassionate............ (or they're just lying to me and telling me that while actiually I'm none of those things and they just don't want to offend me). Hmmmmm, either way..... good friends. ; )
Work : Finance/portfolio trader (and yes, it's actually fun!!). Relationally : what am I looking for in a person? I'm easy on this one. I just want someone who enjoys life to its fullest - travel, romance, great conversations, connection on a level where others will look over and be jealous of what we have. No settling! That's what I want and I hope you do to.
But, fyi, surfing is always a big plus in my book – just sayin’ ; )
I also enjoy restaurants quite a bit. Fine dining, Cakebread chardonnay, sushi, dancing (well, I try) - but, full disclosure, I absolutely love mexican beer, chips n' salsa and then repeat - it's a weakness!! : /
Oh, and all pics are recent and yes I'm really 43. Also, my kiddos come down to the beach and surf with me whenever they get the chance (usually more times than not) - they're spoiled of course . ; ) What else? I'm 5 years divorced - took some time off from dating for a bit - but now ready to find the one to spend my lfe with. Could be you maybe. ; )
Oh and finally, yes I actually am a Christian - oh, ummmm, ....... does that mean I’m on the wrong dating site??? Hmmmm.....
Thanks again for stopping by and reading my profile! Hope to talk soon!
Date a soulmate from United States. Hello, thanks for taking a look at my profile.
Basically, I am very thoughtful, caring, athletic and intellectual.. I enjoy an active life, wether it be exercise or travel or more likely both. I like to have fun, and do a lot socially - meeting friends or having them over for dinner, and traveling together. Once I have had some exercise, I enjoy chilling with a book, glass of wine, or person I care about for conversation.
I have lived in London, Hong Kong and briefly Spain, and travel consistently to places like. London, Italy, Spain, Swiss Alps, Carribean, Mediterranean... you name it and I will enjoy going there!
I am interested in people that are accomplished and independant. I am tactile and romantic, and a friendship that builds into a romance would be intimate continuously. An ideal match will be based upon communication and acceptance, combined with an active lifestyle that includes exercise, experiencing new and interesting things, travel, literature and the arts, and intense romantic moments.
I am taking a bit more private angle on this Match.com, for two reasons:
I would prefer to keep my private life private (versus having business associates look me up on Match, and I have a couple of children who are internet savvy to say the least :)
So, if you are interested, please send me a note and I will send photos :)
Meet single man from United States. Honestly, im a very loving, caring man who loves to laugh and have new adventures. Im very honest, maybe too honest sometimes. Im looking for a woman who is very caring, compassionate, loving, and fun. someone who enjoys the little things in life. Im tired of games people play while trying to start dating..just like to be up front right off the bat, and see where it goes. And believe it or not, i am a part time tattoo artist and am almost sleeved on both arms..
Date people from United States. I'm a normal down to earth person that likes to try to keep in shape, have fun either out & about (dining, dancing, happy hour, walking, casino, Vegas ) or even at home & I'm looking for the same in that special someone that can see herself being my special other half.
Meet a man from United States. I design consumer electronics for a living and really enjoy my work. At most other times I like to play guitar, bicycle, practice yoga and surf. I have many interests which include art, architecture, history, film, travel, camping, cooking (vegetarian here) and bird watching, but my main interest is music. I love playing and listening to music and often play guitar when I get home from work.
I live in the mountains above Los Gatos. My house is on the edge of a forest, so it is quiet and peaceful with great stargazing and bird-watching. I am currently remodeling the kitchen and floors, so it's a little dusty at the moment...
I grew up in the Bay Area, and although I have lived in other cities and other countries, I feel a special connection to Northern California. The dense Redwood Forests and rugged coastline make this a place that always inspires me. My family and closest friends are mostly in San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley, so I often find myself in those cities for weekend excursions.
I love to travel. When traveling, I tend to avoid the tourist spots and seek out the smaller, more traditional towns and villages. Experiencing different cultures leads me to revisit my own values, and often leaves me with a slightly changed perspective on life...I like that sensation. I also follow international politics (NPR and KPFA addict), and do my best to have a low impact on our planet.
I am looking for a long term relationship. I'm a calm, stable and reliable man with a lot to give and share. I want to spend the rest of my life with one woman, and bring out the best in each other. I'd like to meet a woman who is passionate and creative...and who also desires a loving and supportive relationship. It would be nice if we shared some of the same interests, but that's not necessary; I will happily embrace her interests. Hopefully she won't mind that I'll occasionally get silly and try to make her laugh; I'm a younger brother, so it comes naturally:)
