Date men from United States / California / Encino, 54 year old

Date single man from Encino, United States. I am a writer and a musician and am currently employed as a writer, my subject matter being musical equipment. Has my crooked life become a straight line? Perhaps. I am quite unencumbered in my life right now, having no baggage in terms of lingering past relationships or offspring, as well as being 3000 miles away from what has been my home for 30 years. I am not part of the witness protection program.
Woe betide my enemies. I am powered by Weetabix and pomegranate juice.
I have been amusing myself thus far in LA by doing a lot of playing (trumpet/guitar/voice) and going to comedy clubs as an open mic participant. It would be nice to have someone join me on these forays as well as to catch quality live jazz, jump in the ocean, and get good and worn out hiking the lovely hills around here. I'm thinking that maybe if I stop objectifying women I'll get a hot chick.
A lot of women claim to like intelligence and a good sense of humor. They are lying. Date me and I'll prove it to you.
I’ve been in LA for eight months and have stabilized my employment situation to a point where I’d like to build a good relationship with a quality person who thinks in the abstract and retains a sense of both wonder and mischief in her life.

Meet a man from Encino, United States. Try to treat everyone with respect, even those who are rude to you -
not because they are nice
But BECAUSE YOU ARE
The measure of what we are is what we do with what we have.
Standing in a place of worship does not make you pious anymore than Standing in a garage makes you a car

Date someone special from Encino, United States. I enjoy a houseful of friends and kids. I am part of a large, very cool family that funny enough enjoys being together. Though now 54 - a birthday this past week - I am fit and energetic. For many years my passions have been marriage, raising my two kids, finance and investing, rock-climbing and mountaineering, guitaring and singing in a variety of bands and many friendships. The only part of this plan that failed was my marriage. No one slept with the neighbor or completely screwed up, we were simply not a good couple and I made the tough decision to not live miserably for the rest of my life. Life will test you and I have been tested and am standing strong.
What am I looking for? Same thing that everyone on these profiles is looking for. However, I think it is most important that you value having a family and your own kids. I might be completely nuts, but I think another couple would be a blast.
Just bought a big house in Encino, beautiful quiet neighborhood, plenty of parking, ha. Come see it. You would not even know you were in a big city in my big backyard. I own my investment company and work like a beaver, very satisfying. You should have a career and like yourself, as I do. If your career requires that you drive to Newport Beach each day, my location is bad for you. Why do I live in Encino? I did marry a woman who lived here. My new house is about a block from Crespi High School where my son attends. I just wanted to make this as convenient as I could be part of their lives.
I am very fit but eat poorly. I am always racing but am calm and steady. This is a journey to be enjoyed with just one person.
Like all you lovely ladies, I enjoy traveling but am not sure why it seems to be so important to love it. I do my share but the person best suited for me knows it is the day to day relationship that is the most fun and vacations are icing on the sweet cake of love.
