Date people from California, United States. I am an upbeat guy who believes it's friendship first. If sparks fly, that's great. If not, we each have a new friend. I'm not in a hurry. Let's just put it in play and see what happens. Now, about me: I have been told I am a man's man while other's say I am a teddy bear. I guess I'm both with green eyes, brown/grey hair (yes, I still have it), moustache, and a smile. I prefer bluejeans over tuxes, laughter over arguing, doing instead of watching, and sometimes i prefer spontaneous over planning. I like doing things for people who really appreciate it or need it. I've traveled to a few places in the world (Japan, Panama, Mexico, Canada, USA) - enough to know I no longer crave foreign travel - but I do like to explore the USA - love to fly fish in Montana, where I was partially raised many summers. I go back as much as possible. Would like to go to Glacer Park once again. Also enjoy landscaping. Shrugs. I don't know what else to say. This is sort of stupid...lol.
I would like to have someone in my life who has similar values, but obviously not a clone. She is more loving than cold, independent than clingy (yet enjoys doing things together), realistic than dreamy, honest not a "truth stretcher," comfortable with who she is not jealous, and can let the wild horse run at appropriate moments (wink). I am partial to an attractive woman who is intelligent, appropriately sexy/ flirty, has a sense of humor, comfortable in all situations (blue jeans to little black dresses), and who can connect with me (shoot me a look or smile) even when she is across the room at a party. It would be nice to have her be a reasonably good cook (what, the oven is not for storing pots and pans?). She must be romantic, open and honest, and be able to talk about everything - comfortable or not. She should be able to see me for who I am, not for who she thinks I am or wants me to be (suggesting changes is ok with me, but please don't come into my life with the expectation of changing the core of who I am).
This is really uncomfortable to write about, I guess because I really don't know how to define myself in words. You will have to send me a wink or something because I use the free service and don't get email.
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. This is tough...Snall business owner in Walnut Creek. Go to the gym 3-4 times a week. Good shape and not bad looking. Most of all a good honest person. Anyone that has ever done business with me knows this to be true. Story time....Whenever I call My 82 year old father who just went for a 350 mile motorcycle ride to celebrate his birthday, he says Son, I hope you are having fun! Well that is what motivated me to try Match Looking to have some fun and good conversation.
Date a man from California, United States. Who am I? I'm a man trapped in a body aging but feels mentally like a kid that wants to push all lifes buttons. I feel that all can be overcome, that if you believe strong enough nothing is impossible. Life is to explore, experience, discover, but most of all..... to enjoy life, life has to be shared! As others have said. It's not the destination It's the journey! My ideal match: She has to want to explore, travel, take risks, and believe in loving life. I love to cook, I dream of finding another that wants to live traveling on a boat, motorhome, motorcycle, then returning home. Then after a time feeling that need to explore our earth, other cultures, cusines. Don't get me wrong, I love being a home body too. I'm handy with my hands and can fix anything. One of my favorite things in life is to cuddle and touch the one I love.
I believe that we all need to be active metally and physically as we age or the grim reaper will come a looking way to soon. Age is something that can be overcome with a strong mental attitude and a belief that we are only as young as we want to be.

Meet men and women from California, United States. If you had a good marriage at some point you know how great that felt. Well I am looking for someone to share that feeling with again. You remember how great it felt to have some one that knew you well enough to know you wanted or needed a hug without one word from you. To have someone kiss your neck or nibble on your ear while your trying to read your favorite book. To be told your going to Taco Bell and the next thing you know your in Santa Barbra on the beach at a romantic restaurant having lunch. Well I miss all of that and I am looking for someone that is missing all of that also. I have a sense of humor that will catch you off guard and make you think what is wrong with this guy and than you'll burst out laughing. I try to be the best person I can and by most accounts..and not just mine...after all was said and done I was a pretty decent husband and father. So if "pretty decent" is a high enough rating to start a conversation I would love to hear from you.

I have started working out with a personal trainer to get myself back in shape to live a healthy and longer life. Thanks for your time and have fun.
Meet single man from California, United States. I'm a secure and down-to-earth person. I have a Northwest sensibility and am younger than my years. I have a streak of romanticism, a sense of humor and a passion for the truth. I divide my time between my SF business and my house in Truckee, where I hike, mountain bike and play golf during the summer, downhill and cross-country ski in the winter and enjoy small town life. I wish I could get there more often than I do. I can regularly be found swimming laps at the local pool in Corte Madera. I do a family reunion every year in Sandpoint, Idaho and have done the big civic event, the Long Bridge open water swim race for years. Have traveled extensively (Turkey and Vietnam have been recent trips) and was recently in London. I am always reading a history book. I'm also a nice guy and very close to my family.
I got tremendously busy a couple of years ago and realized one day that my life had gotten out of balance, a little isolated. So...I'm seeking a special companion to share my wonderful life and to make me a part of hers. I'm looking for woman who is sexy and fun with a big heart, a great smile, a keen sense of the absurd and a lot to say. Being athletic is a big plus and a little silliness is always a good thing. And, if you love jazz, well, that would work. I'm looking for a golfing, hiking, biking and skiing partner, someone to share my Truckee hot tub, to hang at home, to explore interesting restaurants and great jazz shows, to accompany me on my frequent visits to see friends and fammily in Seattle and the East Coast, to travel to distant lands, and to share companionship and intimacy. Please bear with me during cllege football season.
Date people from United States. I'm 4th generation Japanese-American Angeleno born in Boyle Heights. I'm a quiet kind of guy and I've tried to change but that's who I am, and growing more comfortable with it. I'd like to meet someone quiet and reflective like me or perhaps a contrasting personality with whom we can complement each other. Not that I can't do anything interesting: I've cruised to more than 30 countries, I learned to fly an airplane, I enjoy occasional target shooting, tried a lot of hobbies, and am usually willing to try anything once.
I am intensely loyal to my friends and have made sacrifices at terrible personal costs to help them. My partner will have my total commitment.
I have a BA in Psychology, UCLA and minored in English Lit. I'm very intellectually curious about all fields of knowledge. You could call it a thirst.
My pending retirement, in a year or two, is a good one; more than what the average person earns while working. I'm thnking of picking up and losing the urban congestion of southern California and moving to Honolulu or Maui. But as Billy Joel once sang, "Your're my home," so I would live anywhere with my soulmate.

I have been know to be a nut (clown) from time to time just to lighten things up, but I do have my serious side.Trust is a foundation that a relationship is built on. It is very hard to build trust and very easy to break it. I am not jealous unless It is normal for a pretty woman to be treated like a queen and I do not have a problem with that, but if anyone is disrespectful to my woman then I can be a very nasty person and I will protect her at Everyhting . I also like things to be clean and in order, but I do understand that when people live in a home that it will look lived in and not like a museum...The time I marry I want it to be until the day that I die.

Meet men and women from United States. nothing special. sitting by the river and watching the current roil by, the same current , not mine, not yours, not me. not you, all of us all of the time. So if that doesn't make any sense to you then I probably won't either. Music, life, art, poetry, high levels of activity, extreme and sometimes dangerous outdoor activities. Enigmatic.
Date someone special from United States. I have not always been a good listener in the past. In fact, I often have been a poor listener, both at work and in my personal life. I have made progress in listening to others over the last several years and plan to continue to improve.
I can be very enthusuastic and passionate about both work and politics. My co-workers and friends will say that my enthusiasm is a great asset. I know it has helped me greatly in my business career. On politics, I can be especially passionate, especially when it comes to the concepts of freedom and liberty.
I enjoy comedy, even if I at times am slow to understand the punch line. I like comedians like Jerry Seinfeld and Bob Newhart. I can remember laughing nonstop to a Jerry Seinfeld comedy routine that I attended.
I am proud of my work accomplishments, especially of the success of two consumer brands that I helped grow considerably over several years. I am also very happy and proud of the progress made by by son who graduated from college in 2011 and now is working for an ad agency in Manhattan.
I very much enjoy movies, many of them classics like To Kill A Mockingbird or The Bridge on the River Kwai. I think that George Clooney was particularly good in the movie, Michael Clayton, that effectively combined intrigue, drama, and personality.
In a relationship, I am looking for someone who will be patient with me and listen to me. I am looking for someone who can overlook the small things that may get in the way as long as the big things stay on track. As for me, I will try to be direct in my communication and say what is on my mind and would lke the other person to do so as well. Very importantly, I will work to listen to the other person and to make time even when things are very busy and crazy.
I hope to be able to work hard at my job while simultaneosly focusing my effort and energy on a relationship. Relaxing and going for a drive, going to a movie, walking, or shopping for antiques all can be fun activities.
Meet single man from United States. I live a creative life. I am a passionate man who loves people, animals, nature and life in general. I love deep conversations, walking in the hills by moonlight and observing the stars in silence, travel to offbeat destinations, coffee with friends and music, music and yes, more music. World music, jazz, world jazz, classical music and some pop if it's smart. These days, I especially notice and appreciate the space between the notes.
I am an outgoing person with exceptional social skills who is interested in everything, people, politics, science, literature, film etc. I am looking for someone who is either in or appreciates the creative arts, feels very comfortable with herself and enjoys life to the fullest. I am extremely youthful looking and energetic for my age and am looking for someone who can keep up with me. I hike around 30 miles a week and do yoga as well as workout at the local gym-I am very fit and am looking for same in my partner.
I can be disciplined, but I enjoy creative chaos at times, Play is an essential part of the creative life and I am lucky enough to spend much of my time in a gigantic sandbox of my own design (and even get paid for it!)
My ideal vacation would be to travel to some exotic locale to experience a music festival and spend lots of time hiking in the surrounding countryside as well as taking in the local cuisine and culture. Always wanted to go to the Festival au Desert in Mali, The North Sea Jazz Fewtival in Amsterdam, or the Gnaoua Festival in Morocco.I have traveled a bit and am ready for a whole lot more; I love traveling on my own but would appreciate a companion for the next adventure.
I can be wacky, serious, surreal and bodacious, but above all the foundation of my life is in practicing being in the present and engaged in an ever unfolding process of self inquiry. When not immersed in a creative project, you will find me 'cloud hidden whereabouts unknown' in the hills of West Sonoma County (or Marin,) or sequestered in my far infrared sauna (big enough for two!) reading a Buddhist text or a good novel. I feel most at home when out in nature.
A shared spiritual foundation is paramount, which translates to a perspective that life's journey is a meaningful learning experience and that even life's losses can be valuable lessons when considered in the right light. A sense of playfulness and spontaneity is essential, as is a great sense of humor. I am looking for someone who is excited about life, loves nature and has a beginner's mind in everything they do, who is passionate about what they do. Sensuality, fun, creativity and adventure are what I thrive on and are qualities I am looking for in a partner. I consider myself a giving person and am looking for a partner with a kind and generous nature. I am not big on marriage and am not necessarily looking for co-habitation, although I am not entirely opposed to the idea with the right partner. Dating to start with, long term commitment if it feels right, and let's see where that takes us down the road... I am a loyal partner, ie monogamy is important. My goal is to build and sustain a long term relationship with the right person. Please be emotionally healthy and financially stable. To me, a relationship is not a fix-it is the icing on the already sumptuous cake of life.
