Date women from United States / California / La Jolla, 37 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. OK.. I am really 42 (all the photos of me are current) but after being on this site and posting my real age I found that I was getting too many emails and winks from men who looked older than 50. I have nothing against men who are older as long as they are active and don't look their age. I want to find a mature, responsible man who is ready for a relationship. Please do not misunderstand... I am not looking to rush into anything but when it's right, it's right and the person I want to be with will be open and ready for a relationship. Other qualities that I am looking for in that special man is that he be funny (wicked and witty sense of humor but not mean spirited), oh and handsome too!!
I say below that honesty is an essential trait and I apologize if the fib about my age turns you off but attraction is also important to me. For me, attraction is indescribable; it might be in how you look, or what you write. What I can tell you is, if you just looking for a "good" time.. I am not interested.
A bit more about me....I am an independent thinker. I can stand on my own two feet, but wouldn't mind having a crutch...did I mention that I am funny!! I love to laugh..I'm a goof - with a witty side. One of my friends described me as completely predictable but a total contradiction to myself and if that makes sense to you then we are off to a good start already.
I have often been asked.. What do I want? I want someone with whom I share physical chemistry. Someone who has my back and understands my personality quirks (good and bad). Essential characteristics are common courtesy, honesty, respect, drive, loyalty, intelligence, humor and love. Not too much to ask for, is it? ...
I look forward to seeing your profile and connecting with you if the feeling is right.
Please do not wink or email me if you don't have a photo of yourself. You can see me but I "won''t" see you unless you provide a photo... that is only fair right?!

Meet a woman from California, United States. I'm a high energy person and grateful for every day. Born and raised in SD and have an amazingly supportive & fabulous family. I'm a "Cali" girl with an east coast attitude.
Undergrad in Boston, grad school in Atlanta, worked for two fortune 500's & lived on both sides of the US & abroad. Excited to be launching my third start up right now. Currently studying up on oil & gas as our new business is in the renewable energy sector. Total glass half full personality and love the new challenge. Complacent minded people need not look any further! Admittedly a 'Type A in recovery' & on a never ending quest to find the harmonic balance between intellectual stimulation and physical peace of mind.
Blessed with a great group of friends & looking for a partner who values their own. Friendships and family speak volumes and I look forward to getting to know yours!
I love sports, grew up playing soccer & enjoy most team sports. A great day definitely includes some sort of outdoor activity & enjoy planning weekends around activities/workouts. Try to fit two ski trips to Colorado in each winter and hike the mountains in the summer. I value a good workout (loving spin & pilates at the moment) & am totally into working out together/supporting the never-ending goal to stay healthy.
I am ridiculously active and love it, but I do wish for days where I can have some down time with a glass of wine or hot coffee and a good book. Love the idea of an afternoon hike with the dog & then spending an evening at home cooking with a glass of vino & stimulating conversation!
I look forward to holidays & crazy family get togethers. I'm blessed w/an incredible little girl & she's the light of my life.
I'm a spontaneous, fun loving, affectionate by nature kind of woman. Love the idea of taking off at the last minute & always ready to join in the fun. Life's too short. If the water's warm, jump in!
YOU:You are educated, dynamic and interested in living the good life. You can carry on a conversation with a global perspective and have lived or experienced the world outside of So Cal. I'm full of life and passionate energy and want a partner who likewise is really living this life every day and who wants to contribute his experiences and life lessons into the 'pot'.
You want to keep improving your self and your life.
You are the kind of person who does the right thing, even when no one else is watching.
You have a close relationship with your family.
Here's hoping you are emotionally available & ready for some fun!
