Date single man from California, United States. I am looking for friendly companionship to share what life has to offer and would like to meet someone interested in same. I am looking for that woman who is honest, attractive, affectionate, witty, intelligent, independent, comfortable with herself, active, and has a positive attitude.
I am a young 62-year old long-time Santa Cruz native and am currently separated and on the way to ending a long marriage. I have 2 amazing young daughters(19 and 15) and I am active in their lives. I am retired from the corporate world and am an independent contractor.
My family and friends would describe me as fiercely loyal, patient, funny(sometimes irreverently!), considerate and honest.
I don't drink or smoke.
I do a lot of volunteer work for a county organization , have coached youth sports in the area for over 10 years and absolutely love it.
I am pretty active and enjoy skiing, basketball, soccer, gym, movies, plays, concerts, jogging and watching my kids play sports.
Not a big hiker but I am pretty game for anything. Weekend getaways are really cool, San Diego being a favorite spot of mine.
A fun day would be a jaunt to San Francisco and exploring what that city has to offer, a cruise down the coast,
I have traveled to Germany(lived there for a time), London, Paris, Mexico, Brazil, lots of states and open to more.
.I am most comfortable in jeans and t-shirt but can rise to the occasion. I enjoy the local restaurants and all things Santa Cruz.
I will send out pictures by request!
Meet someone special from California, United States. I have been focused and driven to provide for my family and employees and clients to the point of distraction. I'm friendly, open, intellegent, educated, responsible, athletic, well off, creative and so on. But I'm also, in need of a soul mate to share the balance of life with. That person should be intellegent, willing and wanting to learn and experience nature, literature, science, and just be plain curious. She should respect her physical self and be somewhat into fitness- so we can share some common adventures together. I'm looking for someone independent, creative and not afraid to be by herself. My family ties have not been strong, but I wouldn't mind strong family traits in a mate. I'm not a real social person although I'm certainly friendly enough and can converse with anyone about anything- I try to find affinities.
Date single man from Capitola, United States. My Brit friend advised me to emulate here on Match.com the approach they use in London on these sites - modesty and clever self-effacement. He said, "Anyone can boast about himself or get all lovey-dovey in a profile." "But," I thought, "anyone can slime himself, so we haven't gained much of a distinction here."
Well, what the hay, let's give it a try. (Despite the fact that Match.com advises, "Focus on the positive!")
.
I'm a lousy sleeper and sometimes that leaves me an unhappy, misanthropic grump. I look like hell in the morning.
And speaking of misanthropy, I catch myself sneering on occasion. Which is way bad..
Can be a slob. (Jeez, I hate admitting that) When there is too much entropy, I will reimpose order, only to see it disintegrate again. Frustrating,but, them's the nature of things. Ask any physicist.
I can be over-conscientious about conserving resources which means I sometimes end up inconveniencing myself to save a few drops of water.
I really could go on, but we've probably already dug too deep a hole here.
And can I find a good word or two to be said about myself?
CPR certified.
.
I've think I have good taste and a sense of style. Which, unfortunately, sometimes seems to have a negative valuation down here on the coast. At least in Santa Cruz. Of course, we're talking taste here. That fellow in Birkenstock's is taking pity on me.
Good sense of rhythm, was a good dancer . . . in fact I feel most alive on the dance floor.
My large, close-knit extended family has perpetuated tradition for generations. That value would be nice to find in a partner.
There are several active friendships dating back to elementary school.
The opportunity to be involved in the lives of children again sounds good to me.
Honest and self-exacting.
Adventuresome, I'm great fun on the road and get on famously with foreigners. Quite fluent in French (spent time in Geneva as a child).
My profession means much to me and I see my responsibility there as sacred. Helping others is one of life's joys. My mate should know this one.
I put a lot of effort into fitness. Always have. At least since HS.
I aim to be understanding, a good listener, appreciative that we all have our struggles, and not critical.
A great date? Here's an idea I picked up from a Match "example of a good profile": We can put together something in the kitchen, savor some fine wine, put on the mellow music, kick back and get to know each other. Couldn't have said it better myself.
As far as relationship, all I can really control is myself - to be honest, thoughtful, fun and supportive. The rest will follow.
And, oh, also, world-class cuddler. Along those lines, my dog loves me. Maybe cuz I support animal rights and avoid eating them. At least the mammals among them.
Well, that was then and this is now: On 22 August 2011 I experienced a devastating mountain climbing accident, leading to traumatic brain injury, a reconstructed left arm, and a BKA - below the knee amputation. In one sense I'm 85% of the man I used to be, and, in another, perhaps, I'm more the man than I used to be.
Wow.
Meet men and women from Capitola, United States. I am thankful every day for the life that I've been given. My greatest joy and my great strength comes from my family. Like my mother that raised me, I live each day to the fullest. I work hard, and I play hard, and sometimes, I simply relax! I like good food, and good friends with whom to share it. I love great music, and I dance like nobody's watching. I am a hopeless romantic, and writer of poetry, and small children make me smile from ear to ear. I hold open doors for complete strangers, and I like to say "good morning" and I never forget to say thank you. I am deeply passionate about my country, and I vote in every election with careful consideration given to every measure and every candidate.
If my Irish luck holds, I will be fortunate to find a woman of strength and character, intelligence and quick wit, physically fit and active, with a good degree of flexibility and self-confidence. I'm looking for someone that can cheer as loud as anyone at a football game, but also who loves being a woman, a woman secure in herself with, or without makeup.
My life is exciting and challenging, and most of all fun! And I, very much, would like someone with whom to share it.
Date people from California, United States. First Date:
I don’t think it matters what we do on a first date, and I am a big fan of simplicity, so a coffee and walk would be just fine.
About Me:
I would hate to bore you by telling you how wonderful I am by attaching to my name a bunch of flattering adjectives. I am sure that you have already found this about two hundred times in all the other profiles. I believe that words can be meaningless, but actions speak volumes, so why bother?
So, why not start with a "bad" stuff – Although my friends say I'm "just too nice",
I can be opinionated and restless at times;
I can’t go fishing because even though others say otherwise, I don't like seeing them squirm in pain;
Truth is, I cried at least six times like a girl when I watched “Notebook,” and in fact, do so regularly with comedy as well; I keep in pretty darn good shape, yet eat ice cream with blueberries/dark chocolate almost every night; Yet with all these wonderful gifts, there is something missing in my life......... Can you relate?...... I have little patience for flakes and fake people – those who smile while being angry on the inside, as I never know what they keep up their sleeve. How about you? What crippled you today? And what made you weak in your knees from joy and pleasure?
About You:
You are curious about the world around you. You can take a joke and give one back too;
You believe that a little sarcasm is the spice of life. You are missing something as well, but are generally happy.
The rest is negotiable.
