Date men and women from California, United States. I am a divorced Swedish guy "old enough" who is looking for someone special. People tell me that I am straight person with a good sense of humor and a twinkle in my eye. I am divorced since 3 years and I have 2 daughters of 23 years and 26 years. They are my loved ones. My oldest daughter is working at the Norwegian Consulate in Rio de Janeiro and my youngest daughter is studying for a Master at Berkeley (Cal). My personal interests (in addition to my daughters) are books, golf, outdoor activities (anything from walking in the forest/mountains, swimming in the ocean, cross-county skiing to just lying flat on my back on a beach). I also like to travel. In my work, I have been fortunate enough to travel to many countries but I'm still interesting in more travels with someone special.
I can go on forever but unless there is an initial spark to my profile and if we do not meet up, then nothing will happen.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. ME: Loyal. Honest. Reliable. Ambitious. Driven. Fit. Engineering Degree from West Point '83. Own my business and my schedule. Work sometimes brings me to Palm Desert, where I find the desert eternally fascinating. Enjoy long weekend trips, planned no-notice. Sedona, AZ is among my fav's, along w/Lake Tahoe, Santa Barbara, and Vegas. Moved by many kinds of music, enjoy dancing, and my iPod runneth over! Lover of the Arts Sciences. Curious by nature. Free time is filled with regional getaways, hiking, art film festivals, charity fund-raising, volunteering, and cycling.
Excel in certain unequivocal challenges. Replicated the Tour de France (in So Cal) 8 times ('04, '06 - '12). Involves riding a bike 2,200 miles in 19-23 days. Ride it solo. Not a race, just testing my self-motivation self-control. Feeds my Soul.

Lots of words up there, so bottom line is best summed up by something a friend told me: You can't say the wrong thing to the right person, nor the right thing to the wrong person.

Date a man from California, United States. I muse with friends often that love is more likely to be found in the aisles of Safeway than in the safe environs of Match, where most folks post false pretensions and illusions - who they want to be rather than who they are.
Very charismatic, upbeat, like to have fun but am fairly industrious if left to my own devices. Believe in fighting for the right things, and do, but am wisely choosing battles right now. I am very creative, lifelong learner, constantly thinking, very active, becoming a better relaxer and taking up hobbies and new sports. I have very high values and I do my best to stick to them.
I'm a dad and that's a huge part of my life, so my match will have or have had kids so that they understand the priorities of being a parent. I have three independent teens who prefer not to be seen with a parent attached, but I need to be there in a snap when that ride is needed or some bucks are required. I have to wait for those all too rare moments when hearts are open and ears unplugged - that's being a parent.
I have passion and compassion aplenty, so my life is about focus and purpose, choosing agendas. I'm certain I'm going to make a large difference in this world, and the time will come with patience, which isn't one of my strongest suits.
I love music, all kinds, am a Pandora addict! This is a major work in progress, and frankly, I've found that these profiles mean nothing relative to the unique and illusive chemistry between people. But, this whole dating thing is a numbers thing!
Bottom line: I don't take Match too seriously. It's a tool, just like shopping at Safeway, or going to church, or running the dish...just another way to meet people. The pressures with 'meeting' on match.com defeat the purpose...so no pressures. If I can meet some new friends along the trails of life, schedule alot of communal dinners and events, it's all good. Love finds us, I don't think we can find it.

Meet people from California, United States. My friends would say I am friendly, well-mannered, motivated, responsible, honest and funny. My two sons are a great source of happiness and gratitude, and family and rock solid values are very important to me. I have learned to appreciate the fact that there's happiness in everything one does; let your hair down, smile and feel alive. I adapt well to all social situations - pretty well rounded on that front.
I believe a (long lasting) romantic relationship is based on a strong emotional, intellectual and physical connection that evolves from friendship and fondness. I respond to chemistry with passion and devotion, and fidelity has never been an unknown. That is a core belief of mine that makes me fiercely loyal to the woman that shows the same degree of respect and connection. What you see is what you get.
Life is good at the moment, but I look forward to the excitement of having a partner/mate/wife/companion to share with, both during relevant as well as not so relevant times, but special times together all the same.
Has any of this struck a chord in any way? If so, help me find you...

Date men and women from United States. My friends would describe me as honest, loyal with a great sense of humor! I recently accepted a transfer to California from Washington in January. The main reason I accepted the transfer was to start a new life. I moved here with my best friend, my black lab Emma. I'm looking for friendship first, someone i can laugh and enjoy spending time with. Also, someone who can take my picture so i can get rid of the ghostly image above! Or maybe once you have met me, you won't want me post anything more! :)

Date single man from United States. Please read every word of this and consider them with all of the gravity that this situation dictates...
When I go to the beach on a date, I like to bolt from the car to the water's edge, let out a high-pitched shriek of dismay, then flee back to the safety of the car... (joking of course... unless there's a shark... or a Portuguese Man 'O War... or other jellyfish... starfish perhaps... but never (well, rarely) a sand dollar...(they can be vicious) maybe an unidentified piece of driftwood, "It looked like a viper of some sort!"... (might still be joking... possibly... perhaps... only time will tell)
Let's get real for a minute, painfully, real... You ladies say "I just want a man who makes me laugh, who will be sensitive and listen, who will make me breakfast in bed and love my kids/dogs/cats/ex/friends... etc." I am certainly the guy who meets many of your criteria...
276 views on the "Here's what a great guy I am" profile and only 2 contacts, not wanting to go forward, but who just wanted to say they enjoyed reading my profile. I am actually am who I say I am. I am being open and honest here. Apparently, there are a significant number (read 'most') of guys who are here for a booty call. While I love sex tremendously, that is not my purpose for being here, heck, I can take care of simple sex all by myself! I am looking for a lady with whom I will be able to share many happy years with
When who a person actually is, matches exactly with what you say you are looking for, but is not even given a chance, there is something wrong ...
I admit freely, that the lady whom I would like to commit to must meet certain physical, spiritual, and behavioral criteria. Therefore, I submit that if she does not, I will let her know immediately, gently, and not pursue the relationship further. However, if she does, I will be happy to commit to her until the very end of time, and will lavish upon her every luxury, comfort, and satisfaction that it is in my ability to provide. I will love and care about your kids/cats/ex/friends... etc. I will drive people where they need to be and/or pick them up, feed them, clean them, etc. I am a giver, but not to be taken advantage of...
I will be up front here: I am a stocky guy. I have broad shoulders and a very deep chest, allowing me to carry my weight without looking as heavy as I currently am, but I am actively working on slimming down, are you willing to allow for that? I will never be average, let alone slender, it is a physical impossibility, short of a Nazi death camp, and nobody is looking for that! (one would certainly hope!), leading to a question: what the heck are the definitions of these body type descriptions?!? They are certainly not in ascending or descending order! For example, the difference between "ample" and "curvy" for women...? ....., huh?
My 20 year marriage ended almost 5 years ago, an end I did not want. I was devastated, and it changed me. I have come a long way since then and it is time to find happiness. I promise that I will always be open, honest, considerate, and communicative. I will treat you wonderfully, will be affectionate, love holding hands and respectable PDA (or more, your choice). I will cook for you, fix ANYTHING around the house, help decorate, open your door, drive to the end of the earth, paint your toes, give you massages, be as charming to your family and friends as I know how, slay dragons, show you my vulnerability, hold your hair while you get sick, keep you warm at night, protect you and your honor, stand up for what is right, listen to you but not try to tell you how to fix things, dance with you, dance with your friends but always be looking for you, be humble, be faithful, be caring, be kind.
I need a partner who is very open to affection and sensuality on a regular basis. I want a partner who when I look at her I think, "Wow! I gotta have that!" and you have to know that I am not
