Date men and women from United States / California / Canyon Country, 43 year old

Date people from Canyon Country, United States. For starters ... I am not looking to "hook up" so don't bother if that is your quest. I also, politely decline engaging with anyone separated. Also, be honest about your stats ... Not cool to pepper your profile. If you don't fall in either category, then kindly read on...
I'm independent, I like to push boundaries, test limits, challenge perceptions, and live life. Smart people impress me. Smart, creative people intrigue me. Smart, creative, kind people who write well aaaaand happen to be ... hot ... I am WEAK for! My worst vice is chocolate, though like most reasonably well-adjusted adults, I keep a few other minor vices around for character ... I am addicted to Trader JoeРІР‚в„ўs. I worship Mike Myers. I'm embarrassingly impatient. I like flea markets, hockey (yesssss Kings!!!), eccentrics, bad TV, expensive lip gloss, big bathtubs, geeks (past and present), deep dark secrets, good vocabularies, and BBQРІР‚в„ўN. Pastimes include concerts, music, stand-up comedy, dining out or dinner in, horsing around, cuddling, and laughing about being a child of the eighties.
I am smart, goal oriented, successful, and self sufficient. I want a partner who will compliment my strengths and encourage growth in my weaknesses. I, in turn, will give the same to him. I have found that life rarely goes as planned but sometimes the unexpected is best anyway. I work hard (have my own business) and it takes up a lot of my time. When not working, I am spending time with my dog (MUST BE A DOG LOVER, we are a package deal), spending time with family or friends and relaxing. My personal and professional relationships are very important to me. I think one of my best characteristics is I care about people, and I want the best for them. I am positive, kind and don't take life for granted.
I could list numerous adjectives about the kind of man I'm looking for – honest, funny, smart, compassionate, etc. - but what is most important is that he already have a full life and is not looking for someone to "complete him" or looking for a partner to create his perfect life. Life is perfect now - having a partner to share it with is a multiplier. I want to connect with another "whole person" to see what horizons open up for both of us.
I believe there is nothing more exciting than meeting someone you have an instantaneous spark or chemistry with … someone who you are strongly physically attracted to and someone who shares your passions, as well as someone you connect with emotionally, spiritually and intellectually. I'm not looking for a free ticket or someone to take care of me. I'm candid about what I want, and who I am.
In closing **Drug USERS are a non negotiable, keep moving** , please do not email if you cannot post a current picture on this service, and ask to mail one to me. That is only fair, as it appears you may be hiding something (like a relationship).
If you are still reading this, and have a spark of interest, say hello in an email, not a wink ... If not, I wish you best in your search :)

Meet someone special from Canyon Country, United States. Ok... well, I was married (9 years), now I'm not (3 years), nothing
ugly, just didn't work out, we are very good friends, and have a beautiful daughter, she's 8. Since then I've spent a lot of time figuring out who I am again. Its a life long pursuit. People often judge me right away by the way I look, you're probably doing that right now :) Physically, I'm curvy, not fat not skinny, but my body is not altered in any way (not a nip or a tuck or a needle). I have been told I am strong and fragile, simple and complicated, sexy and smart. I am surely living out loud, I speak my mind with tact, have an open heart and mind, and I know what I want when I see it. I am attracted to men with strong minds, who speak well and have a strong sense of who they are. I am not modern when it comes to the malefemale role in a relationship, I like men who kiss their mama, love their country, open doors, have manners, make me feel safe and protected and work hard. I'm good at being the woman, and letting you be the man you are. I am a grown up and a child, I love Dr Suess and Dr. Zhivago, I wrote an X-rated "Seusical" poem for a man which I thought should have won the nobel prize in literature but sadly, I think it scared him away! I'm not everyones cup of tea. I AM though extremely funny, slightly (very) sarcastic and can hold my own with the best of them. Music makes me deliriously happy! I spent the winter exploring jazz, blues, lounge, torch singers, big band and 40's but with the summer my tastes lightened up, I've been listening to 70's, 80's and some old-ish country. I love "live" music, bands, quartets, musical friends, anything vibey and fun. I'm pretty simple really, I think I want what everybody wants.... a passion to pursue, to find peace in the chaos, to love and be loved and not to add anymore negativity to the world. I cannot say I'm not a little dramatic sometimes (I am a girl) but Marilyn Monroe said it best "if you can't take me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best."

Meet a woman from Canyon Country, United States. I work out 5-6 days a week so I am looking for a partner who lives a healthy and active lifestyle so we can keep eachother motivated. I can be spontaneous and look for the same in a partner. I have an incredible love for all animals. My family is amazing and I am blessed to have some great friends that I love to spend time with!
I was conceived in a biker commune so I guess that explains my love for Harley's (and dirt bikes)! lol
I have always been someone who looks after the happiness of people around me but I know now, my happiness is the most important thing I can do for me.
Since I work indoors, I love to be outdoors on my days off. I live a pretty healthy lifestyle and would like the same in my partner. I love going on weekend trips to see new places and learn new things. I just love to get out and experience new places and people.
During a relationship, the most important thing 2 people can do is to communicate clearly. I am not into drama, lying or fighting. I know that when things are said in anger, that they can never be taken back so it is best to take a step back and think before you speak.
I am looking for a man who treats me as his equal with love and respect because he will receive the same from me. My man should be active, have strong family values, driven, knows how to let loose and have FUN, spontanious, romantic, thoughtful! A man who does what he says because he stands by his word is #1 in my book. Physical chemistry is also very important!
My Music Interests: ROCK, classical, jazz, Linkin Park, Rage, Rob Zombie, Megadeth, Metallica, Blues Traveler, Classic Rock, Blues, Country, Pop and Motown......my musical tastes are ALL over the board!
