About me: Don’t look or feel my age…..must be those Scandinavian genes. When the economy crashed, I moved to Baja in 2007 to 2009 to remodel my beach property by Cabo and have now returned to my La Costa home of 20 years. I work from home as a real estate broker and a mortgage loan originator. Out of college, I taught at Mammoth High School and ski patrolled for 9 years. I love the outdoors; huntingfishing, and I cook what I bring home! I love weekend getaways. I have one 25 year old son living in Hawaii on Kauai, one dog and two cats. My parents have been married over 60 years, are alive and well, living in Oceanside. I visit them every Sunday afternoon for Mom's home cooking, then cards and dominoes. I am a non-smoker and social drinker that loves to kiss, hug, and cuddle. My college fraternity was kind of like the movie, Animal House.....and yet I graduated with honors.....figure that one out! I love oldies but goodies and country music.....because I can understand the words. I believe that one's life should be balanced and embrace the concept of "your space", "my space" and "our space".

Meet single man from California, United States. Hello seekers! After reading so many well written profiles, I came back to add some more to mine. Thanks for taking the time to read it.
In brief:
Looking for someone who wants both a friendship and a (hopefully forever) romantic relationship. Shares my strong values. Willing to try new things, but always keeping family and friends first. While personality and strong values are most important, there needs to be a physical, romantic attraction as well.
About me:
I live in the Almaden Valley area of San Jose. I have two lovely daughters; one in college, the other will be a senior in high school. The younger one lives with me most of the time. The past several years have been consumed by their activities and life events. As that phase is now starting to wind down; I'm motivated (and being encouraged) to "get back in the game" and meet someone who I can grow with. I have a very demanding job, but my friends would tell you that I'm always up for doing something be it casual or planned out.
I'm a good conversationalist, happy to engage in a wide variety of subjects: business, current events, sports, relationships. I have a very strong moral/integrity compass, much more the "responsible, do-er" type. I don't consider myself to be "needy" and make sure I hold up my end of things when it comes to personal affairs. My family and friends mean everything to me; the ones I'm closest to I have known for many years.
I can be very affectionate in both public and private. The connection and closeness that one can have with the "right person" is something that I have missed. I also have a fairly well-developed sense of humor that can poke fun at myself as well as others.
I'm told that I look younger than my age. I'll let you be the judge of that. But I do try to think that way as much as possible.
The past several years have seen a number of life-altering events for me. I am as a result comfortable with who I am and where I want to go. There is a lot more I can share on this when we get to know each other. My social life has been on the quieter side with my focus on family and work; but I ready to get out there - with you!
About you:
You share many of the same interests and experiences; we use that as vehicle to see if there is a connection. You are confident of your place in world and while perfectly able to stand on your own, you would rather go through life together. You are equally comfortable "just hanging out" or taking a more planned vacation or social event. Being able to function as friends and lovers on a day-to-day basis is something you desire whether its in conversation or doing even the mundane things of life. You'll need a sense of humor to put up with mine! The ability to communicate and stay "on the same page" is a must. You are attractive and well groomed; a classy woman that any man worth his salt wants to make happy and get happiness in return.
Finally:
If you managed to read this far, you have an indication of the person I am. If you are interested to find out more, I hope that we can connect and take it from there. I'm "a newbie" at this online dating approach...my objective is not to be a serial dater but to find the right someone and then "retire" from this site! If you are just in it for "passing through", please keep going. Either way, best wishes on your search!
Thanks again for reading this.
PS: Please, no Winks and submit any interest with your photos only. I won't respond to Winks or contacts without accompanying photos.

Date men and women from United States. What about him? (she asks) Ok (he answers) - About me: Easy going/laid back (but sometimes a handful); looking to relocate and would like more travel. Go to gym pretty much daily. Seek my best friend. Family is priority. Attend church weekly, sing in the shower, jump real high when startled, my kids said I made the best forts, told them I invented pancakes, to honor a friend by TPing their house, and entertain neighbors by playing DingDongDitch.
What's he like? (she wonders). My attitude (he offers) : Chemistry can happen quick or develop over time. Happiness comes from within. Laughter is the best (medicine). Some people believe things sometimes happen for a reason. I believe things sometimes happen for your choice. Not chance, but your choices define you and who you want to be. A beautiful heart is more attractive than outward appearance. An ideal relationship is one where there is no other place in the world that we would rather be than together - Happily ever after. :)
What about you? (he hopes) You like being a girlie-girl/tomboy; value all the good stuff: mutual respect/communication, family/friends, excitement/anticipation/(that tantric kiss), fun; love to laugh (and make me laugh); are outgoing/smart/independent; pretty (to me) :) ; sexy (to me) :) ; funny; passionate/affectionate; can go from PJs/slippers to swimsuit/ponytail (with your flip-flops in my back pocket) 4 a day of sun/fun, from sweats/jeans to your LBD/heels for a night out. You're the one I text just to say Hi. You play well with others, like adventure, some excitement, a lot of fun, and occasionally take risk (even if it might get you in a little trouble). :)
What would it be like later if we connect? (she imagines) Well (he imagines), it turns out we find humor in various situations, ourselves, and sometimes others. Ok - mostly others. :) lol We're affectionate, goof around, make each other laugh and have fun wherever we are/whatever we do. We like to be active and have adventure; sometimes spontaneously pack a bag and go.
Imagine: We're misbehaving in the kitchen laughing/drinking wine. We hold hands or you take my arm while walking. Together, we're the bomb - everybody says so. :) lol We dance in the house including the kitchen (Risky Business?, Mrs. Doubtfire?, Dirty Dancing? DWTS?). We encourage or support or sometimes participate together in each other’s interests.
PS: To those who like the beard: While photos are fairly current, it's shaved off now - Sorry - it grows back - Honest. (sometimes as a mustache and goatee though.) RE my hair color: sometimes it's brown, sometimes salt & pepper. :) How come there's no answer choice between average and athletic/toned? (Note to self: gotta post photos without beard. I'm so much better lookin in-person, he humbly says to himself :) )
PS: To those who like "walks on the beach": with all the Match, eHar, Chemistry walkers - there's no room! Geez! Go meet at a restaurant bar or Starbucks.

Meet people from United States. I stay fit by working out 6 days a week in my home gym. I have been very successful in commercial real estate for the last 34 years and still enjoy working in this field.
I know that no one is perfect including me of course. I am not seeking a relationship with the idea of trying to change her nor am I looking for a partner who wants to change me in any significant way although I would want to try to accommodate her preferences in any way possible while allowing me to be me. I hope we can learn to appreciate each other for our differences and smooth out the rough spots with kindness and love for each other as we go along. For search purposes, my age is stated at 58. I am 9 years older than that. However, all photos were taken in the last 2 years and most everyone who knows me feels that I look and act much younger. You can be the judge of that.
I am interested in many things in life such as family, friends, computers. self help/motivational books, going to church, exercise, almost all sports, the beach, traveling, business, current events, performing arts and just plain cuddling up on the sofa with my mate while enjoying an evening at home. I am a very positive and optimistic person and a good communicator with lots of enthusiasm for life, family and for enjoying life with my significant other. I am looking for a very close, intimate relationship, with a very special lady that I respect, cherish and can be in love with for the rest of my life. I want to do all I can to grow the best, most intimate and loving relationship possible. I desire a loving woman who expresses and gives her love, knowing that love will be given back to her without demands or expectations. Should you fit this description and desire similar things in life I would love to hear from you.

Date someone special from United States. I am an evangelical, Protestant Christian. My closest friends would describe me as warm, friendly, and affirming; a good listener. I enjoy walks on the beach and ocean kayaking; cooking and eating a fine meal with an appropriate wine; and watching movies. Monty Python makes me laugh out loud. I am looking for someone who is intelligent, kind, and affectionate.

Meet a man from United States. To all of the women taking the time to look my way, thank you!
I too, am interested in closing the 'dating chapter' of my life.
Having said that, let's not put any pressure on the meeting process.
I'm conversational, a good listener, I have a good sense of humor,
and make for a good date.
I am a general contractor. I've been self employed for the last 37 years.
I specialize in highly custom cabinetry, furniture and finish carpentry.
I have executed some very impressive projects for some extraordinary estates
and beautiful custom homes. I'm creative and artistic. I believe that my
design talent and a broad range of skills set me apart in my trade. I'm
passionate about my work and life in general.
I am dedicated to my fitness and expect the same in a mate. I'm an expert skier,
having moved to Lake Tahoe many years ago to pursue the sport. I have an
interest in bodysurfing, golf, tennis, cycling, inline skating etc. I am
very much interested in sharing these pursuits with my next new best friend.
Beach or mountains...I'm in! Camping or hotels...it's all good!

I enjoy cooking as a shared experience and I'm not bad at it. I am not highly
structured in my diet, as I like to eat a wide range of cuisine, but I eat
healthfully in general. Mexican food...mmm! Steak & Seafood...oh ya!
I'm a news junky and follow politics. I am fiscally conservative, however my
social politics are more nuanced...conservative leaning. I'd like to be with
someone who takes an interest in the world around them. We should be informed Voters.
I believe that I dress tastefully and expect a woman to take pride in her
appearance and make an effort in that regard, as I confess to being very visual.
I like tastefully provocative clothing. Heels...hot!

Romance can be found in many circumstances...you're either a passionate person or
you're not...'you know who you are'!!...ha! If so, let's hang out and see!!.....

Date a soulmate from United States. My friends would see me as I very middle of the road person type, that lean toward the conservative side on most things. I tend to see details that make me seem as "always thinking".....even as I write this, so many things are flying in head. I guess I want to meet someone, and the two of us can take it from there...how much do you learn from a profile and a picture? Good luck to me and everybody else.

Meet single man from United States. The Dogfather
That’s what my friends call me. That and Shrek of cartoon fame. One fits my ethos, the other my mantle. Wherever I go, wherever I stop…I see the dogs first…no; if it’s a pretty girl or woman holding the leash I’m tormented and concentrate on her, but I always give the dog a “hello” look and smile, and nine times out of ten they come over to say hi…”not a bad practice”, I say to myself. Big dogs, small dogs, lazy dogs, puffy pretty dogs, it doesn’t matter…
The dogs seem to understand they’ll get some “love” immediately, a pat, a stroke, a kiss…maybe a big hug or a back and shoulder rub, always ending with a tailbone scratch. They stay till they’re called away, or tugged on by the leash, sometimes rolling over, so I can scratch their belly, or under their chin…
You know…you can pass out “love” to dogs even though your paths will never cross again… even just one time and they’ll always remember you, even years later.
I wonder about the woman…when was the last time she was “loved”…No, I’m not talking about that…I’m talking about the transfer of energy that occurs when two people are enjoying the same moment of pleasure or emotion, and you reach out to touch, to reassure yourself she’s still there, the moment’s being shared, to send some of your excess energy as a present…a hand on a shoulder, a kiss on the cheek, a squeeze of the hand.
I’ve noticed after 58 years there is no “fun”, while you’re alone. There’s accomplishment, or satisfaction, or a memory stored with limitless types of emotions…but no “fun”. You can have “fun” with your dog, because he/she responds with wags and licks and makes weird noises…but the energies are different, like a voltage lower…it doesn’t fill that empty spot in your stomach like “fun” with humans does…And “fun” with a loved one…just fills that spot faster with bigger doses, and soon it spills out on your life, covering all you come in contact with, with your extra “fun energy”, making even the mundane and torturous parts of life, a little easier to embrace and conquer…
Industrial consultant, owns small retail firm, financially and emotionally stable.... Like to hike, bike, and yes...I enjoy dancing! Actually took some West Coast classes a few years back. Lost twenty pounds this year, so far...am looking for "already active" type, unafraid of a little "moisture on their brow". Help plan a day hike...a ride through the vineyards, or just an afternoon picnic at the beach. I may not always lead the parade...but I'll always make it to the finish!Smart, personable, well grounded, opinionated woman, able to think for herself and be comfortable about her past. What's done is done... Friends are the most important thing in life, we make so few great ones,and lose too many to forces outside of our control. You only get out what you put in, relationships are hard work, just like your job, and FUN is something that has to be shared, it's hard to convince yourself your having fun, when there's no one to laugh with.
