Date men and women from United States / California, 48 year old - page 5

Date single man from California, United States. I’m a hard-working guy who knows how to have fun at the end of the day. I love staying active and want a woman in my life who likes to get out and get moving. We’re so lucky to live in such a great area with so many things to see and do, it would be a shame if we didn’t take advantage of as much as we can. I'm also very adventurous and love to travel.
I have a big heart to go with a strong mind and body. I love to laugh and have fun, but also like engaging in interesting conversations. I fit best with a woman who has an outgoing personality and has a great sense of humor that loves to laugh. I’m a pretty laid back person when I’m not working but, I also have a lot of energy so, I’m looking for a woman who has that same approach to life.
As for what catches my attention... Is a pretty woman with a nice smile, that likes to exercise and takes care of herself. Also add in a sweet personality and a good head on her shoulders with a mind of her own. I’m very comfortable being affectionate and the woman for me enjoys being both physically and emotionally close.
I’m a very honest and trustworthy man who never takes my partner for granted. For us to have a great relationship, there has to be mutual love and respect…It takes both to make it work. One thing I know for sure is, I’ll be the person that you can always count on.
It always seems to suprise people when I tell them I've never been married but, what can I say ? ... Sometimes things just don't work out ? Like people say, "sometimes the best things in life,come later in life" Like a lot of women out there, I guess I just haven't found the right person yet ? Also, I do love kids and would like to have some of my own but, I'm fine with a partner that already has kids as well. My friends and family always tell me, what a great dad I would be.. Again what can I say... Also, when it comes to age... . It's all about how you feel on the inside and how you look on the outside. My friends all tell me, I look much younger then I am and that I'm in much better shape then most men in there early 30's. :) Match say's to bragg about yourself however, I'm confident but, I really don't have that big of a ego..

Meet people from California, United States. Short version
I'm fun, affectionate and interesting and I'm looking for a companion to love and cherish.
...and the long version...
==============
I'm a Software engineer, a bit of a futurist and I read a lot, especially scientific literature, so I tend to use big words because that's what I rub shoulders with, but I balance it with a good dose of silly, sometimes at work but definitely at home...or at the beach. If we are banging into each other on our boogie-boards in the salty ocean waves, I'll likely scream enthusiastically like a little girl. (kids love me). I bob up and down if the music is good (this tends to happen in the car at the beginning of a road trip). I embarrass kids sometimes, but the younger ones still enjoy it. Also I have a lot of "kids" toys like skateboard, kite, frisbee...and I have discovered the best way to toboggan down a snowy mountain. I like making life fun. Or maybe life likes making me fun (deep huh). I'm not high-powered and restless, just simple, a gregarious person still wanting to "come out and play". Under all this (or on top?) I have a solid foundation, straight-laced ethics, financially responsible, and even an anti-consumer (but in a practical way). I'm not complicated, I haven't accumulated baggage, I'm still a kid at heart, open and free-spirited, but I do need a lot of down time for introspection and to recharge and I hope you will make the hammock one of our favorite places to be together...where I can listen to your ideas.
I'm not afraid of having ideas, big and small, some are impractical, some are fun, some silly, some transformative, some green, some shiny. Take my ceramic mud hut idea for example ;) but don't worry, I'll only build one after exhaustive "modeling and simulation" and your smile of approval. I'm an inspirational sort of guy and enjoy explaining things in a fun way. I love listening to inspirational speakers like TED talks. I might do something like that someday, sharing with people my ideas about sustainable yet fun ways of living. I like simple beauty. I've reseached a lot of farming techniques around the world and examined their many ways of building homes and huts. My dream is to develop a primitive solution that is beautiful, warm and inviting, with curves you want to touch and lighting that beacons in the distance, the mellow amber hues through the large window inviting you home. I've done some small projects, but my next one will be a small farm and home from scratch. I'm good at designing spaces, but it takes a lot of meditation mixed with some good science. My friends ask me to design their spaces and my neighbors are perplexed at how I can make things look so beautiful, and sometimes don't believe that I made it, but I'm used to it by now. My photography teacher in high school accused me of hiring a professional (if he only knew how poor we were living 6 people in a bus down by the river).
I like spending time at home but I need to get out from under the roof often, if only to the hammock. I like having some regular spots, like my favorite beach, but otherwise I try not to go to the same place twice (mostly nature stuff). I was doing survivor-man before there was a show. Not to try to prove anything, but just because it does make your pack lighter and it's fun ;) When I was a kid my father would drop me off up river. Of course he would worry about me, especially if I wasn't back the next day, but he was a Zen sort of man, able to love and let go, a groove I myself found early on, which even got better recently with The Power of Now, a simple yet powerful message to live less in the past and future and to live right now in this small split second called now...not irresponsibly though. It is in that small moment, that is happening constantly, where you find true life and inspiration, for everything from family to work...
PS. Please no domineering, demanding, petty, critical or abusive types. Although, needy, sad or boring are all okay :

Date single man from United States. I'm just a simple guy with simple pleasures. I know that there is no such thing as perfection so I won't even try to project it on anybody, just looking to start out slow and see where things go. I like to work out 3-5 times a week and get in a few chapters of a good book everyday. I do not like to stay mentally idle so I am always learning something new about the world everyday. As Plato once said " The unexamined life isn't worth living", I of course wouldn't take it to that extreme and hoped nobody else would but just wanted to say learning is a priority in my life.I would hope that the person I meet have a sense of humor and is honest. I hope that they like to exercise and resist the urge to become a couch potato except only at the appropriate times such as rainy days, tired nights, etc.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Preface:
I created this section to try and make myself clear as to what I am looking for, answer frequently asked questions, and address a few pet peeves. If you're offended by my candor just move on.
I am not interested in exchanging dozens of emails each asking a single question (so annoying) or exchanging anything more than a few emails or calls that have to do with when and where we are meeting. We're either interested in each other or we're not, no need to belabor the issue. If we share a “vibe” it will be immediately apparent thus no need for the “tell me about yourself” email requests, all we will want to do is figure out when our schedules will allow us to meet face to face. Regarding the ages of women I’m interested in (30-55) I have met 30 year olds that are just as sophisticated, grounded, mature, successful, and desirable as women in 50’s ...and 50 year olds that are just as beautiful, sexy, playful, and free spirited as 30 year olds. I don't believe, within reason, that chemistry is bound by age and if you do i'm not interested. I'm attracted to women who take care of themselves, inside and out. INSIDE: Please be emotionally stable and well mannered If you see a therapist that’s cool as long as he or she thinks it's safe for you to date and he or she has figured out the perfect psychotropic cocktail for you AND YOU TAKE IT AS PRESCRIBED. Rough around the edges is completely acceptable but if you let F and A bombs fly like there’s no tomorrow i'm not interested. OUTSIDE: fit, slender, muscular, athletic, toned, average, and curvy are all good. Just like age, beauty has a range, but know that my idea of curvy is Ana Nicole Smith before she was heavy and long before she was dead. Also, a few extra pounds doesn’t mean your physician suggested you drop 20 (or more), it means you just don’t feel you are where you would like to be even though you are probably ideal. INTIMACY: I love intimacy-- physical, intellectual, heartfelt. I'm playful, flirtatious, attentive, and affectionate and you should be too. I love a courtship but not a game and nothing contrived. I'm not interested in going out with you and your friends the first time, can care less if they approve, and think women who need the consent and approval of their friends are more girls than women. If the instant we see each other we want to hold hands, wrap our arms around each other, or share a long, soft kiss we shouldn't pretend otherwise and if you think we should because you’re “old fashioned that way” i'm not for you. Religion: I respect all religions but the world can do without zealots of all faiths.
ABOUT ME AND WHO I AM LOOKING FOR:
Trying to find the right words to impress upon you exactly who I am and what landed me here is difficult. I consider myself to be quite sincere and this format makes that difficult to convey without sounding cheesy or contrived. I like to think of myself as intelligent, strong, witty, direct, effective, attentive, and affectionate. I tend to be quite romantic when inspired, love to spoil with words, gestures, letters, and attention. I believe in sweeping a woman off her feet, nice dinners (though i love neighborhood, family owned, hole in the walls), never ending eye contact at the appropriate times, soft touches, firm embraces, dancing close, long walks, and weekend get aways for no particular reason. I also believe in the type of passion that leaves you fighting to catch your breath and wishing you never had to part. I'm very active, eat healthy, hard working, diligent, tenacious, and not to shabby in the brains department. I enjoy reading in my down time, cooking, do a little writing from time to time, love to laugh, and would love to find a woman to share a passionate relationship with.

Date a man from United States. I'm just looking for that special chemistry between two people that everyone else is. You know, the one that makes you smile when you receive an unexpected call or text, and you can't wait to see them? Partnership is key as well as respect for each other and trust.
Time with family and friends are a very important part of my life and I enjoy all the special times no matter what the occasion.
I’m definitely the outdoors type (I know, who isn't right?). I certainly live for the weekends and enjoy a number of interests which include shows, sporting events, comedy clubs, concerts, a dive bar every now and then and just walking around somewhere new and exciting or you can find me riding my Bike up/down the coast with the guys or camping out in the desert riding dirt bikes.
Love the ocean and will find time to hit the waves surfing from time to time in HB or just riding the beach cruiser on the boardwalk. Love (trailer :)) camping on the beach in Oceanside with family/friends! Talk about fun weekends!!!
Not much of a TV person as I want to be out and about enjoying life! I could go on and on, but anybody could just type works you find interesting, right?
Well, if you made it this far, I'm told by many that I look and and act much younger than my age :)

Meet men and women from United States. I'm always told that I am very funny. I like classic rock, blues, and little dogs. I enjoy going to sporting events, or hanging out at a good pub. Good food and good wine go without stating. I think by this time in my life I've learned to drop the try to be cool routine. I'm not afraid to be vulnerable, and do not have an ego problem. I try to be genuine at all times, and will never end a sentence in a preposition at all.

At this point in my life I'm just looking for someone I enjoy being around. Spent most of the last twenty years raising my two kids that for some reason don't want to hang with Dad anymore??? : ) When I have have time I enjoy sports and the outdoors and new experiences. Mainly music, golf, fishing, poker, baseball, occasional camping trip the usual...: ) Traveling is a good thing and I have a list of places I want to and will go. I like to cook trying to recreate the receipes I see on T.V. I like a beer or a bottle of wine but mainly keep it to the weekends. Go Niners and Giants!!!
I like a woman with natural beauty whose sensible and down to earth with a warm heart who realizes there are more important things then trying to be cool and whose not afraid to tell the truth. Someone who is giving and honest and thinks about others as well as herself.
