Date men and women from United States / California / Cowan Heights

Date a man from Cowan Heights, United States. I am an athlete: golfer (single digit index), former collegiate tennis player and soccerdad. I am into cycling and love it! If you don't like sports you won't like being with me. Competition is the essence, the spark, the fire, the drama of life. You are not old until you stop competing.
I love fine wine (had my own cellar), intelligent conversation and great cuisine. I have a lot of Greek/Mediterranean in me and I subscribe to the Greek ideal of life-balance: everything in moderation. Sometimes more can be better than less, but too much is almost always problematic.
You are a glass half full person. You prefer to smile and be happy. You enjoy stimulating conversation and laugh at my jokes (and actually get them). You are kind, soft to the touch, gentile and smell good even when you sweat. You exercise, cycle, play golf (you beat me and I complain I give you too many strokes), and enjoy the same sporting events as I. You know the difference between futbol and football and appreciate both. You challenge me physically and emotionally. You give great massage. You love to cook, don't mind when I join in and share my passion for fine wine. You love my kids and they accept you. You are vivacious and sensual. You improve my image every time I am seen with you. You look great to me even when you are not all "made up". You don't always agree with me on everything, you enjoy the banter and the debate-even the occasional argument. But what you enjoy most is making up afterwards. And we always do. Bottom line, I just like to be with you.
Communication and conversation is key. There is a difference between religion and ethics, I choose ethics. Touch, smell and taste are also very important to me. I give great massage. I don't cook so much as I create, it's the Leo in me. The best advice I've been given lately is when a friend told me to lose the watch, I'd enjoy life more and time would actually slow. He was right.
Money is nice to have, I've made a lot, spent a lot and realize that it doesn't complete you, although if you let it it will define you. I just can't imagine that cuddling up next to a large roll of Benjamin's in front of the fireplace to be either fun or satisfying.
Bottom line, I'm looking for someone who has passion for life. If you can be passionate about living life and experiencing the world we live in, you can be passionate about love. If we can't experience love, what's the purpose of living life?

Meet people from Cowan Heights, United States. About Me:
Raised in the amazingly wholesome Midwest (parents still together today and still ornery as ever), I admit to being a snow-belt rebel. Partying in the Flats, sneaking out to concerts at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, drinking underage at Case Western Reserve, and even meeting boys in the spring at SquireРІР‚в„ўs Castle made for magical teenage memories. Who wouldnРІР‚в„ўt love having midwestern roots? With just a little bit of motivation and a spark of creativity there are endless ways to have fun on a snowy day, and the summer - well the lake provided a way to up the Vitamin D intake while engaging in a few over the top Kodak moments. My childhood and upbringing are non negotiable as I would not trade a thing.
After trading in 300 days of cloudy skies for the sunshine of Southern California I was relieved to find my sense of adventure remained intact, with the added bene of visiting the snow on my time, my dime, and choice of trail to carve a wicked “S” down. Admittedly my lifestyle is athletic, as I love the competition, the release of those crazy endorphins, and even the way my clothes fit. Murph, my Lab demands that I run almost every day, otherwise he WILL rebel and chew the furniture unless he has a daily chance to outpace me. So, we run – FAST. The faded road rash scars on my legs taught me the exhilaration of mountain biking, but my girlfriends taught me that road riding makes for more common sense and opens up a whole lot more choices in the clothing department. I like choices; what can I say?
Watching the sunset in El Moro is a favorite hike, the trek to Holy Jim Falls just has to happen at least once/year, and on an odd weekend you might find me raising the flag up at San Jacinto. Sipping cabernet (secretly out of a red plastic cup, of course) while walking the coastline of CDM puts summer at the top of my list for favorite seasons. The OC and its irreverent nightlife cause me to laugh; hanging with good friends, dinner parties and listening to great music cause me to smile; and shopping with my daughters who have learned from the "master" cause me to get up and go to work everyday!
I have a set of friends who have "moved the earth" for me and for whom I would do the same. Connecting deeply means sharing openly; intimacy, touch and "acts of kindness" are my primary love languages. It truly moves me when others are self-aware and share their inner moments! I resonate with down-to-earth connections and live with the principles of being a good neighbor and giving back. You will often find me in a balance pose at yoga where I ponder life, embrace its richness and provide thanks for everything I've been given. I speak gently, listen intently, and take action when my awareness shares a need to change course.
About You:
You find challenge in your work, success in your business and it does not hurt if you can pull out a little wit now and then to top off the attractive face you present to the world. Insatiable laughter and electric heat are the first clues that you are a great match! You naturally take the lead and will often be the life of the party. Your point of view is well thought out; you value an intellectual conversation; and you freely accept that the challenges each of us has lived and overcome will naturally present unique and differing perspectives. You know what playful banter is all about because with me you will want to engage in the twists and turns of semantic nonsense. (ThatРІР‚в„ўs called РІР‚?playРІР‚в„ў). You know what it means to be vulnerable, to share your inner self, and to free me to do the same.
No one knows what lies ahead, but I run with those who arenРІР‚в„ўt intimidated in finding out how high they can climb.

Date people from Cowan Heights, United States. Will ne leaving this site soon--- but seeking a soulmate who is emotionally available and believe in old-fashioned family values IS TOUGH. NO Booty Callers or Scammers please (go to Vegas instead-- cheap and certifiable).
I believe in a traditional family (and marriage), but I'm pretty much of a risk-taker when it comes to careers and business. I value a sense of belonging, loyalty, honesty, passion... in both work and personal life. I do believe that chivalry is sweet..it doesn't make me less of a woman. I like being 'pampered'. I love being swept off my feet. But I also love being heard for my opinion and sharing in the decision. I like simple heart-warming moments but I also love frequent sophisticated indulgences: theater, decadent entertainement/food, travels to break the monotony. I don't believe in enjoying life just after retirement. (..Life's a journey that has to relished..the smell, sound, sights, knowledge has be savored and fathomed alomg the way. I never stop working..but I take frequent breaks and engage in silly conversation every so often. I love talking about ideas and learning about people's views/ideas.) I love to find a soulmate who would go into this journey of exploring life and enjoy what it has to offer - and roll with the punches.... I love a good looker ..but will often take a second look for substance.-Generally a happy person, has a good temperament -Has a good sense of humor. -Can recover well from challenges or a let-down situation. -Decisive - creative Straightforward, sincere, no games on feelings. IAMNOTactive but if you mossy on down in a cowboy hang and look for me as slickchicadelic I'll be there.
-Witty, bright, curious - lets the kid out in him once in a while -capable of dreaming -Strives for better things but is not a slave for money... must keep a balance with long hrs at work and family.. -supportive in good and bad times (health and economic, although must show potential and abilities to succeed and work at being healthy) like the thrill of a chase.
-YOu GOTTA be able to roll with life's punches and show smarts in shopping-- I am not flashed with flashy cars or wealth.
SMART doesn't mean CHEAP. BUT CHEAP DOESN'T ALSO MEAN BAD EITHER. IT has to be QUAILITY AND A THOUGHTFUL ITEM!
