Date men from United States / California / Costa Mesa, 34 year old

Date a man from California, United States. Hey,
My name is Joey. I'm from a tiny town named Walla Walla, Washington. Even though I grew up in a rural area and have a lot of down home values, I'm a city person at heart and I love the sunshine. So I moved to California in 2004 to learn how to surf and haven't looked back.
I am currently a Loan Officer. I am a total math nerd. I've been in and out of the bar/restaurant world for most of my life and still miss it at times because of all the people you get to meet. I constantly contemplate moonlighting as a bartender again just for fun.
I'm looking for a lady that would rather be outdoors than inside. Someone that has a good energy and a positive outlook on life.
We all dream of finding "the one." The one we can spend our time with, the one we can laugh with, play with, and dream with. The one you just can't seem to get out of your head, no matter how hard you try.
KCCO!
Bonus points if you know what that means.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Although I seem like a laid-back guy when you first meet me, I am into anything involving adventure such as hiking, swimming, snowboard, etc. I am a transplant to Southern California, so never learned to surf - one of the things I would love to learn some day. Family is the most important thing in my life, so I am looking for someone who not only is funny, outgoing, a little bit of a dork like me, but who also holds family as being very important.

Date single man from California, United States. Like bleach to a liberal's ears... I am conservative and I think liberalism and feminism are a blight on society and designed to break up God's original institution, the family. I value faith, family, hard work, national service. If you don't agree with any of these, or if you're the kind of girl that "always gets her way" stop reading and move on.
Lines of paint on the freeway keep cars and trucks from colliding into each other.... just like social norms keep people 'in line'.... Unless those social norms are antagonistic to the basic unit of society, the family. I question expectations that young men (and women) deal with and made slaves to. If you 'get' what I'm talking about, you're the kind of person that I should be talking to. If you don't, stop reading and move on.
Love is patient, kind, longsuffering, etc... but love isn't blind... or stupid. Seriously. So you've had some fun early in life and have a little baggage now? Then I'm really not your type. Stop reading and move on. I don't care if you agree with me now.... you should have agreed with these values all along.
If I haven't offended you yet, then perhaps we might get along. I'm not mean or disrespectful... but at 34 I need to screen my audience carefully. I am Christian, I value and respect women and I don't think 'dating' is code for sleeping around while waiting for a hotter girl to show up. I'm a professional working in the medical field and I've served in the US military. I love to travel and I'd like to venture into business as well. I think the secret to a happy life is keeping an active mind, a happy wife, and serving others.
And another thing... what youre reading now is edition 10.0. I too started out with the typical BS of white knight / PUA drivel that men think theyre expected to be. It's hard to be completely honest in this day and age, and you risk alienating a lot of the zombie mind-slaves to the modern day Baal / Astheroth worship that is the singles scene expectations. I am trying to be as real as possible to get the attention of the girl that's right for me, in case she happens to be on match.

Meet someone special from Costa Mesa, United States. Well away I go with this.............. I am lucky enough to be born and raised in Southern Cal. and am blessed with a great family and close knit set of friends, I am a down to earth guy that enjoys a t-shirt and jeansand some good music, at this point in life I can be completely content with staying in being mellow for the night. Don’t get me wrong I do enjoy sitting down at a nice restaurant for some good food, laughs and a time to relax or checking out new spots but the whole nightclub scene was really not my thing and I don't see that changing. I try to keep a fairly balanced life: work hard and play hard, making sure I don’t take myself to serious; a good sense of humor is a must.
I am certainly the outdoors type and push myself to try new things or challenge myself in some way. Living and growing up in So. Cal certainly has its advantages and disadvantages but really where else can you do so much within a few hours drive: beach, mountains, Angels game, Chargers game or leave the country. Looking for someone who is driven, educated, appreciates their family and friends and is spontaneous who likes to smile and have good time. I am sure there is more to all this but for now I guess this is a start.

Date single man from Costa Mesa, United States. I'm a easy going guy that's looking for the right girl. I love going out to concerts, but I also like to just curl up on the couch to watch movies. I love art,(Monet) music,(Grateful Dead- Hip Hop & everything in between) movies,(i'm a nerd so I like Horror and Sci-Fi, plus anything else that is good in any genre) reading.(Huxley, Asimov, Orson Scott Card, Cormac Mccarthy just to name a few) I love to travel a lot as well, and try to get out of Orange County most every month, whether its a trip San Francisco or occasionally something a little more grand, like Spain for a month.Hopefully I can meet the right person who would like to do these things with me.

Meet a soulmate from Costa Mesa, United States. The qualities i have and admire are...being outgoing, fun, adventurous,curious, sympathetic, smart, kind, strong. I have a good job and hope that career is important to you as well. The girl i want to be with, she's got to get my sense of humor. The goofier the better. I like to try new things. Experiencing something new with someone special makes it that much better. I have 4 sisters and 1 brother. I'm close with my family. I've also worked as a photographer for several magazines. I'm a pretty open minded person and anyone i spend time with should be as well. I do like to go out to shows and concerts, snowboarding, paddling, archery, people watching are some of my hobby/past times. I'm hoping that paints a general picture of "who I am". There's a lot more to me, as I'm sure there is more to you than what's on you profile (at least i hope so). Write me an email if you like any of what you've read.

Date a man from United States. Ok, so a confession. I just wrote out my entire profile as a letter. It was entitled "Dearest wife". I spent like 20 minutes writing it out, pouring out a bunch of things that I wanted to say, only to then read it upon its completion... and then promptly asked myself what the heck I was doing and removed it all. :) It was waaaay to intense and serious for a freaking online dating site. You would all think I was nuts. :) (Buuuut... I did save it. So one day, if I do end up meeting someone off of this site... I'll read it to you.) :)
But seriously, so I got this premonition a few years ago that I would meet the woman I would marry on the Internet. (True story.) I'm not sure if it was God speaking to me... or indigestion. But, not being one to fight with destiny, here I am. :)
Ok, onto a few words about the other half of the kind of relationship I am interested in having one day. I have learned about myself that I am drawn to people who: have an innate feel for matters of the heart; have experienced, wrestled with, and ultimately allowed deep pain to expand their soul and soften their eyes; tend to have a consistent orientation towards growth on their journey through life; find themselves delving into people's inner worlds and freely and skillfully sharing their own; regard "kindness" a lifelong pursuit; are deeply-rooted "connectors" who cultivate intimacy in the relationships around them; have a strong gravitational pull towards wisdom, truth, vulnerability, emotional connectedness; and who find all things Monty Python to be snort-milk-out-your-nose hilarious. Note: everything prior to that last one is optional. (This, class, would be what we call a joke. Can we all spell J-O-K-E together? Goooooood.)
Would it be okay if I continue to veer towards being way too stinking serious again? Cool, thanks. So I sometimes pray that I will have the courage to pursue what I want when I find it. Meaning, that I will have both the strength and the cajones to follow after my desire for her. (Us men can default towards cowardice sometimes. Well, I'll speak for myself here.) Would you consider praying that for a man that you want to pursue you? It will make a difference.
Ok, ok, no more serious. For the rest of this profile. Promise.
So I love rock-climbing (a relatively recent discovery in my life, and I'm not very good yet; but oh dang, does it awaken a little wide-eyed, full-of-adventure boy in me), exploring nature, exploring countries, finding the best European drinking chocolate in the world (the search continues!), stumbling onto a song that pin-point precisely speaks to the very thing that you've been trying to express your whole life, playing hide-the-stuffed-animal-doggie-somewhere-in-the-ho
use with my nieces and nephews, and Tres Leches cake. (If you don't know what that last thing is, quit your browser right this minute and for heavens sake go find one. If you don't love it like you love life itself then I'm not sure we can be friends. Though, come to think of it, if you love all things dark chocolate then we can perhaps negotiate and make up.)
Ok. This profile is tired and needs to retire for the night. (Its author seconds that motion.)
With hope,
Kevin

Meet someone special from United States. I'm an independent person who doesn't absolutely need to have someone around. Because of this I have not been in many relationships, but as I get older I've decided that maybe I should include someone else in my life.
I will go out of my way to help a friend out, but am also aware when people are trying to take advantage. I tend not wear everything I am on my sleeve. (what's the point of getting to know someone if you learn everything on or before the first date?)
I laugh at a lot of things so, as far as I know, I have a good sense of humor. If someone falls, they're probably going to get a chuckle from me (as long as their not hurt [physically]) I also do not get offended easily. These two things can probably remove me from the prude of stuck up category.
I guess that will do for now. I'll probably add more later.
Addition: I just moved to the area, from Saint Louis MO, in early May.
My match.
I'd be looking for someone that's similar to me, but not too similar, that would be creepy.
Someone that I could bring, or go anywhere with.
She would have to be the type of person that is not timid or worrisome. I guess basically someone that knows how to live life.

Date single man from United States. I spend a decent amount of time working so I thought this would be a good way to meet new people I wouldn't ordinarily run into. That, and I see a match.com commercial every seven minutes on television.
I grew up in the Midwest. This means I can do amazing things like assemble your ikea furniture without looking at the directions and change a flat tire without calling AAA. After doing consulting for a few years, I moved out to Virginia for law school. Quite a unique juxtaposition of the Eat and the South. Also discovered the best beer ever: Yuengling. Let me know if you find a place to get it out here.
Ultimately, I moved out to California about three years ago so I'd never have to see snow again. Quickly got addicted to driving around with the top down in December. Then for some unknown reason I decided to take a vacation in Iceland this year. Makes me appreciate the palm trees I suppose.
Most of my workday is intellectually demanding so I try to spend the off time being more active and getting outdoors. I am always having too many interests at the same time, which makes makes it hard to decide how to spend my spare time. Started sailing about two years ago and have made it all the way to Catalina and back without getting lost. One day, I want to go Australia. On a boat. Actually...if anyone reading this lives there please let me move there. I'll clean your pool, till your garden, whatever you need done.
I'm currently learning -- or, at least trying to learn -- mandarin. (Damn you squiggly lines!) Might as well spend my life doing something ridiculously difficult, even if I'm not the best at it, than doing something easy that I'm good at.
