Date men and women from United States / California, 53 year old - page 18

Date people from California, United States. I am here on match to meet someone to start a friendship and let it work it's way up to whatever it is that makes two people happy together, whether it is a commitment on paper or in the heart. I think when two people meet for the first time there are a thousand word in that first look, so that one first look will tell you a lot more about me than anything I write on my profile, if you are interested let's meet and talk face to face and see what destiny has planned . I am really having hard time describing myself, all I can tell you is that I am a complete gentleman, I have respect for others as my Mother has always thought me . I have pride, so I won't make a fool of myself, I am a man of principals and dignity.

Meet single man from California, United States. .... Is that you? Is that me? Who'll be the lucky ones? It will take more than a glance, more than a moment, but a chance meeting. Is it more than just chance?
Intelligence, first, you must know that there are three 2's, and three there's, know your who's, and know how to use them... so that after the initial (two or three years of) ogling each other, it would be nice to have someone smart to talk about during the day. I'm not looking for a something seasonal (sorry Hallmark, See's, ...), just something more enduring and an endearing woman. No flakes or rudeness please. That may be rather blunt, but life's too short to waste time. Not looking for perfection, nor some image from some commonly quoted limerick. So is that you?
First, the age is accurate... No fudging. It's easy enough to tell in person for both people, so why lie about it?
Finding someone special is... just that, special ... and I'm not talking about infatuation with someone, or the variety of alternate reasons people date, but finding someone that sees you with all their flaws, and still wants you, every part of you, even with a misstep or two because no one is perfrect. Certainly, not me. But finding someone special, that thinks you're special too, well that is a rare thing.
OK, some specifics...
AUTHENTICITY and sincerity are important to me. It's less about poems in introductory emails, unless it starts with "There once was a man from ...". Though I think I can find a song or movie to fit most situations. I think respect and willingness to share with another person (hey, you gonna eat that :-) is paramount to building a lasting relationship, that and a willingness to laugh out loud at yourself (even when you're by yourself). I find it's extraordinary to discover people who are themselves, want to be themselves, and are happy with who they are, and are secure enough to allow others to be who they. Helpful if one does what they say and send the same signals. I'm not perfrect, but I do strive to be better. :-)
I'm not going to write that I like surfing (can't), wine tasting, travel to far away places, or the host of other things that people write about. Really, who wouldn't like to travel to some nice place? I'd rather be somewhere with someone special, than somewhere special with just someone. Is that you? Of course, I'll take someone special in a special somewhere above all. Besides if you can't get past my Barry White like voice (well not *that* deep)... That said, I really like music... (live music can be sooo good) and movies ... missed my calling perhaps? I also like walks, hiking, movies (again), music (again), tennis, biking, live comedy, and sporting events.
I like those rare people who do nice things for others when no one is looking and doing it without looking for credit. Care to find and share in life in whatever and wherever that takes you? Then you're the person I'd be interested in hearing from.
And if you read this far, just maybe... but first: Do you have a decent picture of yourself posted (if you expect a response), not just a picture of your dog, cat, or bird, or a dozen different sunsets, or sea animals (huh?), can someone besides your mother recognize you in your pictures, a picture where the camera is closer than 100 feet, are they clear enough to be a DMV photo, but friendlier than a police arrest photo? And lastly, are you available for a potential relationship and eventual intimacy, gasp! Life's too short for just friendships that go nowhere... Not a sugar daddy either (sheez!). Hopefully you've been in at least one decent relationship (for more than 3 years) at one time.... and you've left most of your baggage far behind. Read this far and still interested, then contact me. Lastly, no picture will get no response from me (winks or emails), sorry. Favor me, if you must, if you prefer that I write first. Thanks and congrats for reading this far! :-)

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Hmm...Let's see, I'm a transplant from the beautiful Garden State of NJ. Yes, VINNY lived in the basement, just in case we had to take care of some BUSINESS(LOL). I say what I mean and mean what I say with a gentle dispostion.....unless I need VINNY. I enjoy my days and attempt to grasp the scope of the larger picture. Finally, living this life with clarity. In search of a partner who's path is likewise. Don't let my chronological (Wow! that's a big word) age dissuade you, I have gusto for the both of us. I'm educated, with a sense of humor and have a stereotypical plague to prove it. I crunch numbers to sustain my lifestyle, but love nature and the arts. Whew! I gotta get a LIFE....
I'm looking for a woman who can seize the moments. Age and character appropriate. If explanation is needed, then MADAM, we probably want connect. :-) Fun-loving, care-free, attachment-free, spontaneous individual. A woman that's on the journey of right now and the quest to fulfill it.

Meet men and women from California, United States. I’ve been very lucky in life, spent a few years early on as a professional athlete, over the years owned and/or operated several mid to large level successful companies, have traveled extensively in the U.S. and around the world, raised two very wonderful children (25 - 22 out of the nest). It’s fair to say I’m very driven, dedicated and definitely and man that knows what he wants and NOT afraid to take risks to get it. I mean - hey… No guts - No glory right? What I really mean is - so many people go through this existence separating their feelings from life itself - I’m not one them. I’ve had bad times like anyone else, but have learned and grown stronger from them - I know exactly what I’m looking for and understand the effort and sacrifice it takes to get there. Listen: I’m not trying to paint myself as the “perfect man” - far from it - I’ve got my share of character short-comings like all of us. I just firmly believe that to be a better man in this world it requires work everyday and equally the same with my relationship and the special woman in my life.
WHO I am: Really just a regular guy. Outgoing/fun loving yet professional, uncomplicated yet intelligent, strong yet sensitive, spontaneous yet responsible, honest, respectful, witty, athletic, romantic, passionate and loyal especially to the woman in my life - Yeah, I know what your saying/thinking - all men cheat… no they don’t - I never have - seriously. Does that mean I’ve never been tempted? Of course I have - I just choose to honor my commitment....
I also have an incredibly big heart. I know this sounds like part of everyone else’s “cookie cutter” profile but, I’ve actually been accused of being “too nice” by business associates and friends alike… I simply won’t buy into that selfish/cynical world we live in nonsense. There are still a lot of good, honest, value-add people out there - they’re just harder to find. I don’t judge someone’s success and/or friendship based on their title or the size of their bank account. Deep down I guess I’m just an “old fashion” idealist at my core…
I’m very well spoken and do my best to be a gentleman - kind and courteous to everyone both in the business world and in my social life. Should read: I definitely wouldn’t embarrass you in any environment when we go out. : ) However, I am very direct - some people love it and some shy away from it. The upside is I will never tell you what you want to hear - unless it’s one of those female questions that ALL males learn at an early age to avoid with their lives - like: Do I look fat in this honey? : )
Now with that said, I’m looking for a special woman to spend the rest of my life with. Yeah, I know that’s a daring request. Admittedly I’m very picky - does that mean I’m looking for the perfect girl - no - why? Adjusting to someone’s imperfections make your love/partnership that much stronger if YOU chose to accept them unconditionally.
Who you are: You need to be looking for a committed relationship (a real one strongly based on the above). PLEASE be honest with yourself about this - I mean… yeah , I get it - everyone on this site is looking a relationship, but you would be surprised at some of the emails I get - one night stand offers, young trophy bride wannabe’s and professional “ex-wives” looking for their next “ex-husband“… I might be “too nice” but definitely not naive. Nor am I looking for endless drama or a high maintenance girl - other than that - just want to have fun, travel and love sports - especially baseball. If you’re a Giants or an A’s fan sorry but my son plays for the Atlanta Braves ; ) - and I played for the Kansas City Royal’s so expect to see some games where I�ll have a different hat on.
Just email me don’t wink. It’s really your choice on how we get together. I say that because I realize there are probably just as many crazies in your email box here as there are in mine and it is truly important to me that you feel safe and comfortable.
Thanks...

Date a man from California, United States. After 25 years with a great girl who passed away in 2008(cancer), I think it's time to climb out of my shell.
When I went to college 25 plus years ago, I did all those crazy things before "Animal House" copyrighted them. But like a decent bottle of wine I had to mellow out, and remain robust. I can't do those John Belushi cartwheels I used to do, but I don't drink like that anymore either. I'm still the same guy I was in 1977. Just a little grey hair that's all.
I like to think that I'm still trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. Yes I was a boy scout, and an altar boy.
Just Looking for a nice girl. You can be a bad girl too. But be cool. I'm Not the guy that will spoil you, but I will care for you when times are difficult. And I'll sing and dance on request, after a glass of wine or two.
This sounds corny, but I was at that candlelight vigil at the Dakota Apartments in NYC the night after John Lennon died December of 1980.
All you need is Love.
