Date men and women from United States / California / Carson, 53 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. Let's face it, there are so many beautiful women on Match and many have profiles and pics that are enticing to say the least. For a long time I was guarded, protecting myself from being hurt and raising my two daughters by myself. I'm looking for a woman who is not interested in games, straight forward, romantic, open and honest with an understanding of what a partnership, especially a long term one can be. I would like the opportunity to impress you with me and my passions, not what I can do for you.
I like gong to the ocean and watching the waves roll in, going to jazz concerts, just sitting enjoying company in my house. Playing backgammon, chess, dominoes are my favorite games. I am a movie watcher and keeping up to date on current events and news. I like all kinds of foods and don't mind cooking and grilling and enjoy them while watching football and the Lakers. A sunset, a night lit by the full moon is great fun to enjoy at the beach. Although I don’t want any more childrenI have no issues or reservations for a woman with children.

Meet single man from California, United States. I am a simple person who like to hang out and watch a movie at home or go for a drive unplanned with no destination. Iam looking for a woman that will just be honest about about how she fills about her date to avoid wasting time. In the end I want someone who cares about me and wants to be my buddy and sole mate.

Date men and women from California, United States. This is from an old CD by KEM - ("HEAVEN") but it pretty much sums it up. I'm a beautiful, fun loving, down to earth, "DRAMA" free female in Southern California. My smile will melt the hardest heart. The sparkle in my eyes will capture you in a trance and lead you here to me.
I am a caring Woman seeking the companionship of a true God Fearing Gentleman. Family is important to me and should be to you as well. I attend church services on a regular basis and look forward to sharing my Faith with the man I meet. Exotic travels are on my agenda and would love to have company as I explore the world. I enjoy doing things outdoors, Clipper games, playing Dominoes and appreciate a man who is good on the Grill and enjoys cooking. I am also a big fan of DIY shows and trips to Home Depot, Lowes or Home Improvement fairs are enjoyable to me. I am attracted to a man who knows how to handle power tools and likes using them.
My past relationships have taught me to remain totally honest and patient with my mate. No matter what they may do, never lower my standards or go tit for tat. In the end, they respect me for the person I am and the compassion I've shown. It's a blessing to have an ex only say positive things about you. For that I give honor to God, who first loved me.
Side Bar: I love to change my hair color and style often: going from curly, to straight, to braids, twists and back to curly. Although, I am not a fan of hair weaves (except the occassional braids or twists)... nothing against them, they are just not for me. I view hair as an accessory to enhance a woman's beauty and can't be tied down to any style that doesn't allow me the freedom to get my hair wet anytime I choose. Hair is meant to be touched and have fingers run through it (smile). If you are a man that appreciates diversity, then we may click :)
MY POTENTIAL MATE: His smile is infectious, his humor is off the wall, his moral values are without question, his lifestyle without drama. He likes to dance, travel and spend quality time with his mate when not working. He sees good in others and cares about the world we share.
God is first in his life. Family and his Lady should be next. He attends church regulary and is strong in his faith.
He is of the utmost integrity and transparent in all areas of his life. Being an honest man, he has no reason to hide anything from his mate and he can expect and will receive complete transparency from me.
Physically, he's been blessed by the gods: in that he's handsome, taller than me, strong enough to give bear hugs and impart tender massages. He knows how to treat a lady with respect. He nourishes her mental and physical being with positive influences. He keeps an open flow of communication, even when we agree to disagree. Life to him is to be lived and enjoyed.
Please pass me by if you have any serious character defects or past relationship problems that won't go away.
I look forward to the day when I meet the one true Man God has in store for me, and we begin our walk together. The man who finds joy and fulfillment in loving only one Woman for life. His best friend, his missing Rib!
Are you him? If so, I'd like to hear from you.
