Date people from United States. Ok So this online dating thing is funny. Here are a few of my observations thus far:
A profile says A few extra pounds under body type...it means 50 lbs.
A profile says No Answer under body type...it means 50 lbs.
A profile where the girl only takes pics from a birds eye view looking down at her cleave...you guessed it...50 lbs....
I'm not trying to be down on overweight girls cuz everyone needs lovin, but the false advertisement that goes on here is just special...you know eventually you're going to go on a date and they will see you. Just be real and own who you are....if you got snacks, rock it but be honest! Now with that outta tha way...on to me!
As you can tell I'm a little jokester and can be pretty sarcastic, but know when it's time to be serious. I'm a pretty passionate, intelligent, driven guy that has a pretty good balance on life. I'm not a clubber even though I like to bust a booty clap every now and again, but sometimes I get a wild hair and wanna go. I love working out and kickboxing is a total release for me. It keeps me from running bad asian drivers off the road! I'm big into classic cars and car shows (I have one myself). I love strummin my guitar and bustin out like I'm an American Idol reject. I'm pretty diverse with my music, so I'm down for the classic rock, rap, some country, and Christmas music. I'm a big martial arts/UFC fan, not just as a spectator, but don't worry...I don't wear Affliction, Tapout, or Ed Hardy. Let's see what else...I love goin to the shooting range and bussin some caps, motorcyles, horseback riding, warm days at the beach, surfing, snowboarding, and doing jumping jacks. I have been all over the world and love to travel, or just jumpin in the car to go on a random road trip. I'm a big movie fan too, so movie nights on the couch are rad!
Last but certainly not least, I'm very strong in my faith. My faith has shaped my world view in a big way and I try to live a life that matters to more than just me...so that bein said, you gotta be Christian. Sorry Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses...you don't count...even though we love ya! Oh...and I love my family very much...even though they're ummmm...a little different, I feel blessed to be have them in my life! Other than that, I'm pretty much an open book so if ya wanna know more...ask away!
Meet a man from United States. perfect date night consists of a quiet dinner at home with a movie on the tube. "Whether it's a first date or we've been together for a long time, I wouldn't mind just doing that. "The kind filled with laughs." J
Date single man from United States. I promise that I'm gonna fill this out later. Just wanna explore the site a little bit first and see if this is a good match for me, har har. Anyways I'm in South OC, smart, artistic, sarcastic, sweet and funny.
Meet men and women from California, United States. Sushi lunch will have me bouncing off the walls. I live for going to 'normal' places like Target with someone who's company I enjoy, because window shopping or bargain hunting becomes fun as hell! Essentially there's rarely anything I don't do full-bore. If it's not fun or exciting or invigorating I don't keep it in my life. I don't need to go naked shark diving to be stimulated, but I DO need someone that knows how much fun nearly everything can be. I work hard so I guess the 'play hard' philosophy just winds up coming with that.
Looking for someone who's *similar* to me in terms of taste, but can challenge me and is better than me in those areas I'm not. (Or even those that I am) I've not gone out much in the last 3 years, and really don't like the online dating thing, so if you don't either, than we're already on the right track.
If you get my sense of humor and actually laugh at my part-geek, part-sarcasm, part-obscure reference 'technique' (for lack of a better term) than we can just go ahead and set the wedding date because that's HUGE for me- I save serious for when it's necessary (work, the 'big stuff', etc.) so the rest of the time I pretty much live for seeing the most attractive part of a woman- Her smile. Lots of "close seconds" in that category, don't get me wrong. ;)
Specifically saying what I'm "looking for" is a bit limiting to me but I'll give it a try. Um, be NICE (at least to me, screw everyone else! lol) for starters! Don't kick dogs or worship Satan, be reasonably healthy. I'm not from OC originally, so I guess I don't *quite* fit into the "Gym is my Life" mentality, (and hell, my dumbass still drags off a smoke occasionally) but if you have a job that requires sitting for 8 hours or more a day, I'd say that yes, I'd prefer someone that figures out some way to stay in decent shape. I'm not quite ready to give insulin shots to my diabetic date before we head out for a night on the town-
Finally, be able to communicate. Or to be more specific, communicate better than me. I'm a guy so I have an excuse! ;)
** EDIT - It was noted to me by a concerned friend of mine that my *obviously funny as hell* (my observation, not hers) "sarcastic wit" doesn't play well with online messaging and that if I'm serious about meeting someone I should "Knock that S**t off", so, believe it or not, I've kept it to a minimum. For the full, unadulterated DeSoto, you're stuck having to actually meet me in person. (Hmm, maybe that's what she intended all along!)
If you're this far in, then I definitely need to be sincere when I say sorry... Err, I mean, THANKS for reading about me... ;)
Date a man from United States. I am a man who loves life and lives to make everyone smile around me. My friends tell me I have the biggest heart, and all I care about is others happiness. Try to be a modest and humble individual. Don't try to compare my self to anyone, everyone is unique and I think once you get to know me you would understand that. I live life in the moment, and enjoy it to the fullest, I'm hopeful I can find someone genuine and loving who wants to share that with me. A friend and a companion; nothing would make me happier!
Love doing pretty much anything that has to do with the arts, music and food. Love musical theater. I am a foodie at heart and try to go to new restaurants as much as I can. Music is a passion in my life and shapes who I am so I am one to go to a lot of concerts or just site at home and listen to it all night long.
Try to stay as active as I can, whether that means gym, runs/walks/hikes, mud runs, beach volleyball or just some cycling. My friends are active and we all keep each other going. Love them! If you have a group a friends, all the more better because I know how important friends are to me so I would only expect yours to be just as important to you.
I love the beach, I find myself there all the time relaxing, taking in the views and having fun! I can relax at home too. Cooking is becoming a real passion and love learning healthy new techniques and recipes, although watching Chopped as often as I do, I tempted to ask you to bring a basket of food and we'll see what I can whip up!
In the end, I am not looking to serial date. I know what I want and I want to find a woman that knows what she is looking for too. A woman who can share their feelings and is not afraid to be herself. A fun-loving, caring, independent and affectionate woman who loves to be treated as the most important thing in life. A friend first and foremost and hopefully growing into something more as we get to know one another.
Meet single man from United States. As for me, I love to go out and do things, be active, party and have fun, but everything in moderation. Staying at home playing a game, watching a movie, whatever can be just as satisfying as hiking or riding roller coasters or dancing at clubs. The trick is to always mix it up. I’d love to find someone who I can really talk to and get deep with. Someone I can learn from and who can learn from me. A woman that can genuinely make me laugh is hard to find, but I know she’s out there. And no drama please. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Just be mellow, kid. Life is hard enough. You want to find that someone who will kill themselves to make your life better, and vice versa. Your strongest ally. Your closest confidant. Your “back-gotter.”
As I said before, I’m up for anything. I don’t have one specific great passion that always consumes my life and time. I like to experience everything, and doing those things with someone cool is the best. And speaking of cool, I think you’ve found the right person if they think you’re the coolest human in the world, and you think the same of them. Not the sexiest, or the smartest, or the most interesting…the coolest. You look at them and just think, “Damn…they’re so cool.” You find someone like that grab hold and don’t let go. For real, for real.
Again, I’m looking for that best friend. That perfect teammate. Partner in crime. Dynamic Duo. You know what I mean. A person I can kick ass with, dance a waltz with, travel with, high-five with, play games with, learn with, grow with, be admired by other couples with, have inside jokes with, have outside jokes with, attack life with, feel safe with, feel confident with, feel honored to be with, and have the best most amazing sweat-drenched heart-pounding loud-screaming bed-breaking neighbor-disturbing sex with…and then get up and go have a bacon-cheeseburger with.
My favorite movie is True Romance, not just because it’s great writing and great direction and great characters and great acting…because of the incredibly epic love and passion between the two main characters. One of my favorite lines in the movie is, “When I’m with you, then I’m with you and I don’t want anybody else.” That not only suggests true loyalty and commitment but also complete love and admiration. Even more so, it’s an infatuation. A crazy obsession with that person. You can’t get enough of them. They’re like you’re drug and you’re hopelessly addicted and you like it and hope you get your fix of them every day for the rest of your life. So much so that you’d gladly die of an overdose of them. I know it’s only a movie, but I believe that kind of love exists. And not just love, it’s romance. Everything you do and say that keeps that love burning. You are hot for each other in every way…emotionally, mentally, physically, EVERY WAY. You would destroy mountains for them. You would endure endless painful torture for them. You’d listen to Kenny G for them.
Anyway, that’s how I see it. If you agree we should definitely talk.
A few quick facts about me:
-I am extremely chivalrous, respectful, thoughtful and have a romantic side (a boy scout with an edge).
-I’m fairly attractive, work out, decent body, good hygiene, never bad breath, etc.
-I am educated and can carry a deep conversation. In fact, I expect you to reciprocate.
-I have a successful career, I own my house, car and motorcycle and have ZERO debt.
-I believe in compromise and never like to go to bed angry.
-I’m direct and will tell you my feelings.
Wanna know more? Just ask.
Date people from Aliso Viejo, United States. I think the first thing you'll notice about me (other than my height), is that I almost always have a smile on my face. I'm the type of guy who has yet to meet a stranger and likes to live each moment to its full potential. I'm outgoing, loyal, ambitious, confident and fun to be around—I'm a pretty great catch if I do say so myself (I think I left out that I'm extremely modest as well.) I had been in downtown San Diego for over six years, and am finding my way around the OC this past year. However, I'm still a Midwestern guy at heart and cherish those values that were instilled in me. I'm the oldest of three boys and my brothers are my best friends. I recently became an uncle for the second time to the best little princess in the world and have another one who is 3!
I'm at a great place in my life where I know exactly what I want out of it. I've worked hard to reach this stage and am now ready for the next chapter where I can enjoy my life with a partner who just gets me. I'm usually the one setting up my friends, but I think now it's my turn. I'm jumping into the dating scene with an open mind and heart. I have faith that the right woman for me is out there.
I'm an active guy and being athletic is something that comes natural to me, I like to get out in the sun and workout every chance I get and while it's not crucial that my match be athletic as well, it would be a plus. I wouldn't say I have a particular "type" of woman I'm looking for, but since I'm a taller guy, I typically gravitate toward taller women with great smiles. Ideally, my match will be a woman who's energetic, nurturing, intelligent, and possesses a warm heart. When it's right I think we'll both know and chemistry will take charge from there.
If you think we may hit it off I'd love to hear from you. Send me a wink or email and let's get to know one another better!
Meet people from Aliso Viejo, United States. I think that honesty and trust are definitely the most important things in any relationship, but I also want butterflies. I want to have to catch my breath when I see my partner and my heart to skip a beat when I hear her ring or text tone.
That being said, you know all about you already, so here's some stuff about me:
- I am told by at least one person a week that I look familiar.
- My activity tastes are very eclectic. I like spending time doing "everyday" things like playing board games or going to the movies, cooking or watching our favorite shows together, but also like spur of the moment stuff like heading on a last minute road trip to Vegas, Palm Springs or Santa Barbara.
- I can wow your family, friends and/or co-workers with the greatest of ease. I adapt well from jeans and t-shirt type get togethers to the ultimate "suit-up" events.
- I actually like chick flicks, which are not to be confused with "girl movies". I'll explain later (I've got to leave something for the dates)
- I believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that is why it can, and should, be eaten at any point. This (and free flowing mimosas) is also why brunch is so awesome.
- Flakes and flakiness are my biggest pet peeves. I believe in doing what you say, when you say you're going to do it.
- I love to sleep in, but can pop out of bed at 5 AM if need be.
- I often remember details that you wouldn't believe about dates, conversations or even just how you looked at a given moment. (This comes in handy at gift-giving times).
- I believe in perfect love and want to find it, but I understand that perfect love does not mean that life is magical all day every day. Fights, misunderstandings, annoyances and all of the things that make us human happen, but they are quickly forgotten in a special relationship.
- It's a tad cliche, but I DO want to find my best friend for the rest of our life together.
- I want someone who I can surprise with little things that may not mean anything to anyone else, but mean the world to her. I would REALLY love to have the same thing back, but am slowly realizing that I get just as much enjoyment out of the finding and giving of these kind of things as getting them.
- I want us to be able to have so many inside jokes that we laugh uncontrollably just by mentioning a single word.
Date a soulmate from Aliso Viejo, United States. I was raised by a pack of wolves in the mountains of Southern California. Rescued by migrant farm workers escaping the dust bowl, I grew up very poor, learning street smarts, the golden rule, and a healthy respect for the nicer things in life (clean water, electricity, food..etc).
During the civil war, I ran the blockade for the south, importing fine silks, guns, and other contraband from Europe. Making millions, I retired into a comfortable life.
My days of pack hunting with wolves, sleeping in gutters, and running the blockade are over. I now sell software. An MBA from Pepperdine, refined by social grace, a gentleman, but not a scholar, I'm single and looking.
Tall, charming, handsome, nice, single, done with games, looking for love, and looking to have fun with someone so special, someone so like me, that it's hard to believe she exist because she and I are one in a million!
As for the first date, it needs to be a huge production, where there are 20 other girls, and only 12 roses. Then I'll come in on a helicopter, hook up with about 8 of the girls in a jacuzzi/fantasy suite, captured all on film, and then give you the final rose! And then wonder why it doesn't work out! Romantic yeah? LOL
Oh, wait, that's been done before! Hmmm... How about happy hour? Or a glass of wine or cocktail and harbor cruise on my boat? We can chase some dolphins around and watch the sunset after work! It's amazing!
:-)
Although I like the above story... I should be boring serious just for a minute....
I'm looking for smart, cute, slender/thin/athletic figure that looks good in heels or flip flops.
You should have a job and/or be able to take care of yourself.
I don't smoke, no drugs, successful, motivated, dad of 2, grounded with a full time busy job in outside enterprise software sales.
My kids are great, they don't need another mom. My daughter is 11 and my son is 9 in August.
I like to have fun whether I'm working, with my kids, or out and about.
Meet single man from Aliso Viejo, United States. I was never really open to online dating but I figured I would give it a shot. I have a very busy work schedule. So it's difficult to meet a quality woman. I don't really like picking up girls at bars and I'm not into the club scene these days.
I'm looking to meet someone who enjoys life and is family oriented. I want someone to laugh with and have a good time with. I want to find someone is willing to put time and effort into a relationship. I want someone who is goal oriented and driven. I want her to inspire me to better and more than I ever thought I could be. I hope I would be able to do the same for her.
I'm a fun loving person. I love making my friends and family laugh. I have a sarcastic sense of humor (trust me you'll love it). I can be serious if the moment dictates it. I think you need a balance of being mature but should also be able to let loose and have fun and enjoy life and those around you.
Being a former trainer, fitness is important to me. The most important part of fitness is being able to live a good healthy life. With that being said I love food and I do prefer good beer and anything made with Belvedere.
I want to wake up thinking about her and go to bed thinking about her and hope that she feels the same about me.
I like to cook and would like to be able to cook for someone special.
And...I do like kids.
In a nutshell I want what my parents have. They still hold hands and go on dates.
Date a man from Aliso Viejo, United States. I am originally from the east coast, born and raised in small town PA. But I moved out to So Cal to finish law school and have never really left. After about 10 years up in LA, I've been down in OC for about 5. I consider myself an extremely lucky guy, I've been blessed with amazing family and friends. But I've also realized that I'm missing that last part of the equation. Ever see that couple that can make the mundane exciting by doing it together? Driving in a car together, taking a walk together, waking up to coffee and a crossword puzzle together on a Sunday... Who wouldn't want that. I guess that is what I am looking for. I can be extremely driven but I always make the time to help anyone that has asked for help. I value family and friends deeply. I believe that laughter is sometimes the best medicine. I love the spontaneous things in life. I love a great challenge.
I do travel for work often, so meeting people in OC hasn't been the easiest. I thought I would try something new and put myself online. So I'm new to this, so bear with me if I don't reply back quick enough or write a corny first email. I'm looking for someone that has a great sense of humor, enjoys a night in just as much as a night out, loves the outdoors and is up for random spontaneous adventures. It would also be a bonus to find someone that can help me with five across.
