Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm a professionally driven person who loves his work and the opportunities it provides. I have discovered surfing late in life. I love to get in the water as many mornings as possible and commune with a rising sun and changing colors on the water's surface. Mornings create a gateway to beauty on the surface of a windless ocean and make me appreciate the value of each day.
I'm a Pulitzer Prize winning photographer and would like to be the first ever photographer to win a Nobel Peace Prize. I've been so fortunate to have had the wondrous opportunity to see the world unfold in front of me now for 30 years as I've traveled the world covering amazing world events for most of the major magazines on the planet. It's given me a broad sense of appreciation for what's important and what isn't.
I'm hoping to share some of what I continue to experience with a person who understands the value of keeping life exciting by staying engaged in life itself. Someone who finds active participation more preferable than passive observation. Sharing in life's activities in an ongoing way is, in my opinion growth and a path to continued excitement and fun. I believe in raising the fun factor to it's highest level as often as possible.
If you're looking for a meal ticket, I'm probably not your guy. If you're looking for some kind of trophy, I'm not that either. If you place a lot of limitations on yourself we probably won't click. However, if you're interested in making the most of everyday in a meaningful way and sharing those experiences with someone who truly cares about how you are then I might be your guy. If you like the feel of looking into beautiful eyes that light up at the hint of a smile, I'm definitely your guy! If your not afraid to get out on the dance floor and love the sensation of movement to engaging music of any kind. I'm absolutely your guy! Sorry, did I mention I love to dance?
I don't have much interest or patience for limitation in any form. I find it really humorous that some people seem to think that placing age limits on their personal interest is silly. Connection isn't about a time line, having hair or not, a type of clothing, or eye color. Connection is spiritual and emotional and allowing ourselves to be open and honest enough to see into the essence of the other person. Feeling that ultimate bond happens on an energy generated level. Connection is about honesty and truly knowing ones self.
I'm not into endless e-mails and obsessive discussion. I'm into courage and initiative. I'm into having fun with someone and in that process, joyously opening up to further possibilities. The only real way to know if we are going to connect is to say hello face to face and have a chance to converse for a while. If we're honest with ourselves we'll know quickly if we are going to need to continue any connection. I know I can trust my inner voice. Do you?
I'm attracted to tall, but intelligent, energetic, self confident people who are direct and thoughtful are who I find most intriguing. Maybe you're out there? If you're truly looking to raise the fun factor in life and find a long term partner, don't be afraid to send me a note. I will respond.
Meet single man from California, United States. I am a fit, healthy, easy going professional living in Capo Beach. I enjoy activities such as cycling, light weighlifting, or walking (yes, that includes long walks on the beach. I live close!).
For relaxation, I enjoy listening to music at venues such as the Coach House, House of Blues (Anaheim or San Diego), Renaissance, or Belly Up (Solana Beach), among many others.
For dining, I like to be outside with a sunset view. Some choices: Ritz Carlton patio, Dana Point Marriott, Surf and Sand, Montage and a few other more casual places along the coastline. Dinner is often appetizers or small plates with wine/drinks.
I like to do weekend getaways about once a month to places like Palm Desert, PS, SD, maybe SB or LV.
I also like gong to museums and plays, even in Orange County.
My strengths are that I am kind, understanding, fairly intelligent, active and have a good job. I can be funny at times and I like to try different things.
My weaknesses may be that I am a bit of a nerd (yes, I can fix your computer), can't dance (but am willing to try if you have toe bandages and health insurance for your feet) and am somewhat shy. April 2012 update: Not as shy as I once was.
Upon request, I can provide written, glowing references from my mother, 3 of my 4 siblings, and maybe my ex.
So what kind of person am I looking for? I have no preconceived notion of what an ideal mate might be. That's why we date and subscribe to match.com to find out. I would prefer someone who is active, somewhat independent, and likes to do the activities I listed above. Update June 2012: Physical activity, both inside and outside the bedroom, are important, and by outside the bedroom, I dont mean the coach, dining room table, shower, kitchen floor etc, I mean outside the house, although dining room table and shower do get bonus points.
If you have any interest, or don't have any interest but just want a free glass of wine and conversation, give me an email.
Also, please post fairly recent photos. If you really like an old photo, post that too, just make sure that you date it also.
Update July 2012: For those of you that really got this far, I expire in July and wont renew for a while. I would rather direct the time I spend here to something more useful. For those that have my number, it is OK to call. For those that dont and really want to contact me, I am edmatchatwinklesystemsdotcom. Best of luck to you all. Ed
