Date men and women from United States / California / Carmel Valley, 41 year old

Date a man from Carmel Valley, United States. Hello. My name is Michael. It's hard for me to describe myself, but I'll give it a shot. The first thing you should know is that I'm from the island of Oahu in Hawaii. My mom still lives in the house we grew up in, and I go back every winter for a month or two. There is something very therapeutic about warm Hawaiian saltwater. I played most sports as a kid, mainly surfing, skateboarding, tennis, and golf. My dad is a very good natural athlete. I had a pretty fortunate childhood, and I moved to California in 1997 after getting a bachelors degree in physics/astronomy. I taught tennis for 8 years, then almost died in an accident in 2004. I was on my bicycle when some lady drove through the back of me in her suburban doing 60mph. When I recovered, I started golf caddying at Pebble Beach & Spyglass, the best job I've ever had. I'm happiest when I'm active and in nature. I'm looking for a great girl to complete the picture. I'm hoping to find a down to earth, friendly, attractive, active, genuine woman to add the missing piece to my life. One day I would love to have a family(I would be a very good father). I own my own home In Carmel Valley and am more than financially stable. I've created a beautiful living environment, which the right girl would only help to enhance. I'm loyal, athletic, smart, and funny, just not super tall(as a side note: to all those girls with strict 5'9" or over rules, just keep in mind that I've run circles around most tall guys I've ever met). If those qualities are intriguing to you, then take a chance on a great guy and let's see what happens. You won't be disappointed.....

Meet someone special from Carmel Valley, United States. Hi, please read my profile and email if you really want me to respond.
I believe that honesty and integrity will prevent a lot of disappointment and wasted time. I like to tell it like it is. It makes it easier to be comfortable and confident on a date, you’ll know more about me and if we might click. I also want to know what you’re really like and if we are compatible. Im not saying to not present the best you possible but just not waste time on fantasy or falsehoods. Of course I would be on my best behavior and as witty and charming as possible but it will still be me. So let’s put our big kid pants on and get to it. Truth is:
I am a guy, I know what I like, what I need and don’t follow trends to impress people
So not METRO
My hair started to thin so now I buzz it every week or so, feels better in a fire helmet anyway
I am a Fireman and have been for 18 years, now a Captain (love it). Its rewarding, stressful and I see some awful things
That said I am not Pollyannaish about life or the world we live in, I just choose not to take it to seriously and just be happy and optimistic
I am happily divorced, was not treated well or cared for by my ex but was truly in it for the long haul
Learned from mistakes and am happier than I have been in a long time, doing the things I love
I am a dedicated father of a beautiful well behaved 5yo. My X and I have always kept her away from our issues, she is well adjusted
I’d probably have more success in a serious relationship with someone who is in a similar situation
It would not be easy for someone who didn’t understand my lifestyle to really get me. I mean “Sorry, I can’t go to Bali next week”. Im Daddy after all and in a relationship you’d have to be aware of my commitments
I spend a lot of time caring for and raising my daughter and have committed to working hard to keep her in private school
However, I have considerable time off and of a lot of me left to give, especially if we have a great time together. I like to have fun and enjoy life
At the end of my marriage and at the beginning of my divorce I was hurt and angry but I'm over that now
I still hang out with close friends drink good beer and better wine but Im a leader and a father first
I love to cook especially for people who enjoy great food, also really enjoy nice restaurants/wine
I am a big "corn fed" guy Im told, 6’4” 250lbs, strong, a little chunky but pretty fit (I like good food) and eat healthy
I live Del Mar/Torrey Pines, would rather run/walk/hike than be on a treadmill
I believe in chivalry, romance and I’ll do anything for those I care about.
I like to hold the door for women and open your car door
I will stay where I am appreciated
I am loyal, respectful and will always have your back
I love the outdoors: camp, backpack, fly fish, hunt, travel, shooting, local gun ranges and any golf course
Im politicaly conservative, Reaganite, love freedom, small government, personal responsibility. But, Im a live and let live guy and dont force my views or preach/argue politics. Im easy to get along with and beleive God should do the judging.
I want to meet someone that likes to flirt, laugh, smile is attractive, smart, happy and likes being outside: mountains, the river, Hawaii, central coast, Tahoe, Mammoth, wine country and travel. Tents, RV, cabins a nice lodge, hotel or relaxing resort.
Not scared of a little rain, snow or curvy roads.
She is successful and has passion for somthing great.
Favorite weekend is 3 days in Wine Country. I love to go to Santa Barbra, Napa or Yountville.
Id like to ski again, learn to scuba, ride horses, get better at photography, ride a snowmobile and travel more

Would like to meet someone with integrity, who is also friendly, lots of fun, and has a good sense of humor. I prefer class over crass and I'm inspired by those who would rather take a chance than wonder. And when I'm with him....... something magical happens!
I love to laugh and can usually find the upside to a downhill. I'm pretty athletic, and, as I was a gymnast for 8 years (you're welcome) I've learned to win and lose graciously. I am loyal, sexy, playful, witty, outgoing and always a lady.
