Date men and women from California, United States. Forgive the cheesy headline.. Haha.. no sense in doing online dating if you always take it super serious, right?
Ok ok.. so a bit about me - I was in the Army for 4 years following high school, traveled the world for a few years after that, went to college for 4 years, and now I work, teach, and study (for my MA) in the field of Architecture. I have a passion for what I do and for where I'm heading and I love surrounding myself with people with the same positive outlook on life! (Colon dash parenthesis!.. hah) Laughter and honesty are the two best ways to go through life happy and I'm a firm believer that you make yourself happy, loved, or motivated through actions, not words... all the while not taking yourself too seriously or judging others just because.. (which is ironic because this is a dating website where we judge compatibility with others..) I love being creative and logical on a laptop or drafting table, but at the same time I'm solar-powered and outdoorsy - loving a good hike, workout, or bike ride on a lazy Sunday morning because I'm athletic and fit. I'm a handyman and I'm often found in a metalshop or woodshop covered in dirt working on a home or work project. I cook for myself, live alone (with my cat..) and I'm entirely self sufficient. I love my family - despite them living 4 hours away from me. I also have a close group of mature "emergency contact" type of friends that keep me sane and are there for me no matter what.. but more importantly - I am always there for those I care about!
As for who I'm looking for. First, I'm not looking for a one night stand. I want the witty, sarcastic, exciting, intelligent, and fun conversation matched up with physical chemistry so strong that we define the word "irresistible" together. When in a relationship I'm not at all controlling, jealous, needy, or shy, plus I'm probably the least dramatic person you'll ever meet. Calm under pressure, down to earth, and laid back - these are all traits I'd hope to find in a woman. I think two people need to have their own lives and own friends. That said, I also want to be able to spend real quality time with that special someone too - be it at home relaxed, out dancing somewhere, or anything under the sun - there's so much life and so much to do out there.. but it was all meant to be shared!
So tell me what made you happy today.. and why you think we'd get along!
P.S. I'm a good teeth, good fashion, classy woman kind of a guy. People who "act like a victim" annoy me.. as do fake personalities and people who always think they are better than everyone. I respect your preferences. Please respect mine. I also won't send more than one message without a response.. and I also try to write grammatically correct when I do. Please try to do the same and it will be very much appreciated! :)
Meet a man from California, United States. energetic, love life, explorer and sociable. willing to go an extra mile. open minded talkative, opinionated and politically motivated. hate racism and racists love beautiful witty women and always appreciate sense of humor
Date people from California, United States. I'm a native Utahn and was raised in good 'ol Happy Valley. I always had a feeling that I was going to do something a little different with my life and, low and behold, I ended up working as a 3D designer/visual FX technical director for film in Los Angeles, CA. My job is a blast and I'm constantly surrounded by talented and interesting people from all over the world. The funnest part is getting to work with the actors and directors....well, it comes with bragging rights anyway...it's not always fun. ;) On the flip side, my job is extremely demanding and definitely comes with a price. I'm now at a point in my life where I really want to fall in love, buy a home, have a family and pursue my graduate degree.
Unlike most guys, I don't suffer from the typical male ego and can't stand macho types. Some guys tend to treat women like property and, let's face it, they give the rest of us a bad wrap. I'm really a very laid back guy with a great sense of humor. I absolutely LOVE going to movies, reading, camping, hiking and taking long drives and road trips with good conversation. Whatever I'm doing, I'm happier if it's with someone I love. I've been through a lot over the last couple of years and have really come to have a lot of empathy/compassion for other people. I've heard that whatever doesn't kill you will make you stronger. That's definitely true and I've really come to have more respect for those who have survived some difficult times.
I'm looking for someone who is confident and grounded with a great smile and sense of humor. Someone who doesn't mind laughing at themselves and maybe at me once in a while. I really love and appreciate the unique traits that really make a person who they are and I usually fall in love with the quirky things that only those close to you would recognize. I've had my fair share of being unappreciated in a relationship and I've come to understand just how important that is. As far as physical features, pretty eyes and a gorgeous smile usually catch my eye first. For some reason I love lots of dark "eye make-up" as we guys call it but that's not a must. Oh, and good oral hygiene is a big deal to me. I'm absolutely obsessed with brushing, flossing and using Listerine constantly. I have a killer sense of smell so someone who smells great has a pretty good chance of winning me over. I love a girly-girl but not to the point of going overboard and, in fact, there's nothing cuter than someone who is naturally feminine with a tom-boyish nature. More than anything I'm looking for someone who genuinely wants to be with me.
I was reading someone's profile and they said that "everyone deserves to be truly in love" and I honestly couldn't agree more. I was in a very long relationship where the person I was with was without a doubt my best friend but, unfortunately, that's where it ended. When they say that "love conquers all" I think what is really meant is that TRUE love conquers all. By TRUE I mean love that's complete and is based on friendship, romance, companionship & support, and a little (or a lot of) lust never hurt anybody either, right?? :D I guess I just want to be absolutely twitterpated!!
I'm a huge believer in people pursuing their passions. Being with the one you love doesn't have to come with a price and, if anything, I think people should support their significant other in doing more, not less. I keep seeing so many people (especially in Utah) giving up on their dreams to support their spouse's education, etc., while letting their own desires fall to the wayside. I'm definitely in full support of my partner pursuing their passions, education and dreams. The last The last thing that I'd ever want is for someone to wonder "what if" just because they decided to have a life with me. And really, people are so much better off when they fulfill their goals and realize their aspirations. In short, if you're happy, I'm happy.
Meet someone special from California, United States. I try not to take myself too seriously and apply a sense of humor 90% of the time.
Working has required some traveling in the last few years. Last year I was home, in LA for maybe 4/12 months. That being said, I also spend a ton of time with the same people from work because we all travel together.
So, please obey the laws of physics and not be a mental case, vampire, cannibal, psychopath, etc...
Please don't be a jerk! Or a zombie.

Meet men and women from United States. I'm looking for someone who knows themself and knows what they're looking for. They should have a good sense of humor and not mind laughing or being laughed at. They won't mind hanging out with my friends and hopefully their friends are funny and interesting. They don't need to be a sports fan but they won't mind watching a game now and then. They won't party 24/7 because they have a job but they'll want to have fun once in awhile. They should also smell nice and not be clinically insane.
Date men and women from United States. I'm a independent and down to earth guy who likes to have fun. I'm looking to meet a woman who is open minded, fun and genuine. I don't like to talk to much about myself, I'd like to meet that special someone and learn more about each other in person.
Meet a man from United States. Just looking for someone I can talk to and not get bored in 15 min. My sense of humor can be taken the wrong way sometimes but my friends find it to be funny. When you get to know mw I think you will too.
Date people from United States. ME:
I would say I am a good mix of sarcastic, fun, blow you off if you're mean & self righteous but love your face if you're not, day dreamer & straight edge, get the job done, well focused, do it your self, spiritual... OK, I got carried away a couldn't come up with a good finish...
I'm a musician, self taught. Bass is my 1st love & therefore my most skilled instrument. For the last few years, however, as I've been traveling around the world for work, I've become better acquainted with guitar. I'm also trying to teach myself piano & harmonica. But people hate me around a camp fire because I don't know a lot of cover songs for people to sing along to... I jam, I like to improvise and not know what is going to come out when I play.
I fit the 'Gemini' bill to a Tee...
I use '...' waaaay too often and incorrectly, but I love it.
I am a pretty confident guy... I find that fades a little when I go to one of my favorite bars in Silverlake, THE RED LION. and it seems that the catch of the day for women more often than not are the Emmo dudes that look like they haven't washed their hair in a week & have intentionally put their clothes in the middle of the street to be run over before putting them on and going out... Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of buying jeans for $80 that come with holes & tare's, but when I can't compete with the aforementioned type of guy, I become a wet noodle... Figuratively speaking.
I am not a jealous person, but that doesn't mean I don't care, it just means I'm a bit more naive & trusting than most guys.
WHAT I THINK IM LOOKING FOR:
I'll get the obvious stuff down first. YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW HOW TO SPELL!! that's a joke obviously... Not really, what I'm getting at is I'm not picky.
I guess that on the immediate, I'm looking for someone that's attractive, funny, easy going, some what spiritual (not necessarily talking to God, spiritual... But someone who is in touch with themselves emotionally & looks for answers through a higher power, meditation, or in the stars or whatever... Maybe I mean free spirited not spiritual, or both... ??).
I really love the great out doors, so while it isn't a must, I would like to meet a woman who likes to camp and hike and even jump out of or off of high places.
I'm gonna have to say good hygiene is high up there on my 'likes'.
I have to admit that I like it when someone I'm with is a jealous person... Not the cartoon jealous where you'd punch a waitress for smiling at me when we're out to dinner. But the kind of jealous where if another girl is hitting on me while you were coming out of the bathroom & I'm trying to blow this assailant off... You come & make a stink about how I'm spoken for.
I like it when a woman goes back and forth writing in 1st & 2nd person in an unorganized fashion like I'm doing...
I'm VERY into a woman that makes up her own words and even lingo, and it's so fresh and cool that it catches on and people can't help but jacking her originality.
I'm a fan of a woman who has her own unique style with clothing. I like jeans & T-shirts just as much as a red dress that takes my breath away.
Last & not least... I love it when a woman sarcastically points out my spelling & grammar mistakes after I posted the importance of that on
the other end.
BOTTOM LINE:
I'm looking for a serious relationship... Someone that is willing to give me a real chance to show what I have to offer, which I believe is a lot. I want someone to take care of, & someone who wants to be taken care of & will take care of me when I need it. I AM AFFECTIONATE TOO! If a little PDA (not too much) is a problem, then I'm probably not your guy..

I'm kind of spontaneous and I can be difficult at times (just giving you a little heads up) lol...I like a girl who takes care of herself and likes to have fun. I hate being bored.
