Date men from United States / California / Carson, 33 year old

Date a man from California, United States. Is Match.com like Craigslist?.....Got to skim through the fake stuff to get to that real :-) Dating in LA is getting pretty hard these days let me tell you........Better take that back, actually its hard period!!.... Is there a handbook out there? If there is let me know okay? lol A little bit about me, I enjoy all kinds of sports especially basketball. I also enjoy going out with friends but i also enjoy staying in watching a movie or two, eating some popcorn..you know the smaller things in life :-) I like to workout and keep my body in shape. What I'm looking for in a woman? Well I have learn through the relationships that I had or even just getting to know a person from good to bad that Im just looking for a woman who will have my back and not a woman who will jump ship when things dont go right. We all are not perfect in this world and I think sometimes some women these days prejudge a man's character or personality based on their past relationships. Not realizing that the next guy that comes along is a nice guy. But anyway It would be great if I could meet someone who can balance their life and career. Its cool if you have a nice career...we work hard to achieve our goals and dreams. I like a woman who has dreams and goals to accomplish but too much work can kill a relationship.....lol.... Hope to hear from you soon!
