Date someone special from United States. I travel a lot...so when I come home I love sharing stories of the road; they are usually very funny and always self-deprecating. They usually end with "then I fell into the river" or "the Pope asked me to leave". I don't take myself too seriously so I can take a joke...but I often will make fun of myself before someone else does.
I grew up in the Midwest and spent my first seven years in Japan...so I have good Midwestern values and I appreciate the honor, integrity and family values of the traditional Japanese. I have been in LA for a long time and have never been an actor (read: I’ve never been a waiter or a trainer). I do love the other things that LA has to offer ...the beaches, great gyms, dive restaurants from Gilbert's to Tito's tacos to somewhat trendy spots too.
My work has taking me to 67 countries yet my time at home with family and friends is what I value the most. I would still love to revisit some of my favorite cities with someone new and see it from a different point of view. I love what I have learned from traveling so much, people are so similar and pretty amazing all over the world. Lisbon, Barcelona, Paris, Brazil, Japan and Rome are just some of my favorite places, but when you share it with someone special those memories are always greater.
I bodyguard for major rock bands for work. I could not be more different than that obvious stereotype. I train every day and tell myself it’s for work :) and that’s where the stereotype ends. I come from a very artistic creative family. I have four brothers, all amazing and all creative in their own ways. They and their families are very important to me. I am an artist, though I don`t have as much time to draw as I would like. When I have drawn recently it`s usually been for a charities or auctions. I like to read on the road and I write endlessly (no screenplays here, sorry)
My friends would describe me as honorable, loyal, very silly, loves to laugh and is a good story teller. I have also been accused of being respectful and somewhat articulate but with a definite edge. I am appreciative of my friends and family and I'm told I am nothing like what I look like in photos. That seems to be the running theme (including that I love watching HGTV and home decorating shows). And Yes! I cry at Home Extreme Makeover, but who doesn’t? :)
I love Family Guy and Jon Stewart. I like trying new restaurants or toasting tequila at sports bars. Which means I’m fine with a suit one night and jeans and a t-shirt the next (leaning towards the t-shirt most nights if possible:) I love to explore the coast on a motorcycle or just relax at the Biltmore in Santa Barbara.
I do believe in honesty, trust, confidence and am searching for someone whose values is important to her and enjoys just being herself. I know that it can be hard in LA at times.. but it’s important to me to meet someone who has a lighter view on life....hopefully she is happy in her own skin, (loving sports and music and concerts is a bonus).

I am very personable, charming, intelligent and honest. My career is very strong as an executive in the financial/technology space, I played professional football so I am very active and driven. My family life is strong coming from a close knit, large, Italian, New York family where my values came from and are still in place. I have two great sons that are 16 and 19 and live with their mom in a drama free enviroment. A great catch for the right woman.

I work hard and to play hard, but I know how to relax and I know what is important in life like: spending time with family, hanging out with friends, laughing so hard until your eyes water, coming home or going out with that special someone, playing or watching sports, watching sunrises and sunsets, listening and singing to music ..... and so much more.
Meet men and women from United States. Well established confident single male seeks partner to really enjoy life with.
Still a kid at heart with a grown up sense of responsibility. Financially and professionally stable man who raised 4 kid’s as a single parent. Time for me to have some fun now. I just need someone to join me in the fun part. I have strong moral values, believe in honesty and in being open about everything that happens. While no one can reach this age without a few issues, I always try to deal with them so they don’t interfere with enjoying life. Great planner, who also knows when to NOT plan and just go with the flow and enjoy what ever happens. Love to go places and have adventures, but also enjoy the quiet home time.
I know how to cook a good meal, put on a party, fix a car, tear down and rebuild a wall, repair almost anything, program computers and clean house. I even know how to iron although I admit to trying to avoid that. Anything I don’t know how to do, I want to learn how to do it. My one great failing is gardening. Not so good at that.
I go through life seeing the cup as half full, not half empty. That refers to always seeing the good in life, events and people rather than seeing the bad. Looking for someone like minded ready to make new adventures and memories.

Yes I think it's working... Ok so let's get started....I'm a man of few words, at first!! I don't like lines and can't do the stuff lots of other guys do! Meaning have a girlfriend and go out with other woman, or not treat someone who is special in my life like a princess!!! I am, a one woman man who is honest to a fault. Looking for a woman who is Beautiful on the inside, however being every so real, and sometimes maybe shallow. Beautiful on the outside can't hurt either.
I tend to be attracted to fit women, on the smaller side, however if your tall and fit , that counts also. So when someone say's small that's not 5 foot and 90 lbs always!! LOL
I own a men's clothing store so you wont have to teach me how to dress, except maybe in the pic that I posted on here, don't know who dressed me on either one of those days!!!
I have been told that my pic on here do NOT due me justice, and that I should take them down, So It has been said by several I look way better in person!! That's probably great except for internet dating. So I changed a couple of them ...not much of an improvement in my eyes... now it's up to you...
I am almost 6 foot 2 inches. The doctor did say I have shrunk in the last few years just a little and have put on a few more pounds from my 20's but still only 180 pounds size 32 waist!
I love one on one time with my very special lady, dinner often and holding hands is important to me.
I am looking for that very special person, I would like someone not to live with but someone I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT !!!!!

Hope to hear from Miss Right soon.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all...
Barry
Date people from Brentwood, United States. I've visited and dived in some incredible places - Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea. When you dive with a buddy, you take the plunge, explore all the great stuff that is in store for you, then come up for air happy about what you just experienced and excited about the next dive. And don't worry if you run out of air, buddy breathing really works. That is the kind of adventure I want with my partner. No diving required.
I have an amazing son who lives with me sometimes and constantly reminds me that flexibility and a good sense of humor are often our most important attributes. And don't forget to play at least a little bit every day. Words are important to me - spoken, written, or sung. I'll write, speak, and read to you, you'd be well advised to skip my singing. I prefer other people's singing voices - Morcheeba, Skye, Sia, Alicia Keys, to name a few. I worked with dancers (note - dancing is not one of my talents, unless you like comedy) for many years and still enjoy the physicality of a dance performance
I love helping people succeed, listening to their stories, sharing time and experience. Occasionally I can be stubborn, but I always snap out of it.
I grew up in New York, but managed to lose most of my accent along the way. And while staying healthy is important, ice cream is an essential food sometimes.
What do I look forward to in a partner? Talking, walking - along the beach or anywhere that is fun/beautiful - hugs, jokes, and exploration with a companion spirit of generosity, strength, and passion. I like thoughtfulness and kindness in a person, the ability to laugh at the world and yourself, when you should. Someone who doesn't mind the occasional disagreement and knows that a hug is often better than an apology.
I admire creativity, independence, originality, even a little quirkiness and look forward to welcoming you into my world and exploring yours. I'd like to spend time with a kindhearted woman whose eyes are filled with humor and intelligence. We can share whatever comes to mind - movies, meals, music, and other things that don't start with "m". Does this sound like you? Let's share a few thoughts, let some of our passion for life show through, and see where it takes us.
Meet a soulmate from Brentwood, United States. Looking for an ideal mate that enjoys the outdoors, travel, baseball games, cooking, hiking and is openminded. Chemistry and compatibility is important, so we should meet soon. I'm very easy to get along with and I'm openminded and able to adjust to new things. Learning everything about you is very important to me because I want to know what you like.
Date single man from Brentwood, United States. I’m looking for someone who likes to have fun and willing to have adventures. She is a person that likes the outdoors as much as dressing up to go out somewhere. A woman that is independent yet doesn’t forget about me. She must be into love, affection, trust, open honest communication, and companionship. It’s ok if she has children or desires a baby. It would be nice if she is Christian, kind, and spiritual. I am attracted to women that are intelligent. Also, I like outgoing and social, but not so much that they over shadow or suppress me. I am looking for someone to bring out my better nature, inspire compassion, and cultivate my romantic heart. I like loyalty, honesty, and trust in a partner. Being someone not afraid to express my feelings, I would like the same in return. My heart is close to my shirt sleeve so I desire to be with a person that is caring and understanding. I am looking for someone that would like a best friend and a lover that they can count on. I am an expressive talker, as much as, I am a caring and an understanding listener.
For fun I like things spontaneous, yet I’m a good planner. I love the outdoors, nature, the ocean, backpacking, camping, fishing, and hiking, swimming, and walking on the beach. I also love art and music and typically go to a lot of concerts. I enjoy full moons, stars, movies, dancing, shopping, and dining out. In the future, I would like to travel and see exotic places. I love to contemplate and discuss the wonders of the Universe. Otherwise, I am a full time Dad, and a homebody that loves to spend creative time with my two boys (8 and 5 years). We welcome a Christian, kind, and loving spirit to join us...
Feel free to e-mail me and we can see where it goes...
Meet men and women from Brentwood, United States. Well let’s see if I can bore you just a little :-) Born in Oklahoma and was raised kind of the old fashion way of being true gentlemen in treating a lady like a lady, by opening our door, holding your hand walking side by side. I have a few flaws like watching football with family and friends having a few cold beers and eating food that is not always good for you or sneaking out to cold stone ice cream, LOL. I can be a little stubborn from time to time, not perfect, most definitely love to laugh and make people laugh and I am constantly smiling…gotta luv life, Right! I'm still a kid at heart, love to twist up the dance floor when i can and making friends everywhere I go. I've been known to have a fun crazy sense of humor, full of energy and very confident in everything I do or set out to accomplish. I enjoy being outside as much as I can, not much of a couch potato man…still like playing in dirt or tinkering with wood and still got all my fingers imagine that LOL. I love my kids more than life itself; they will always be the ones who will love you unconditionally. It would be great to meet someone who has a great sense of humor, she is down to earth type of person, love kids, loves to laugh and of course cuddle. So what’cha think? Should I go on and on and just bore you with the writing or are you willing to take a chance! I am; so let’s say hi and see where it goes.
