Date men and women from United States / California / La Quinta - page 9

Date a man from California, United States. Not much I haven't done- from engineering to owning and operating businesses,building buildings and traveling. I'm especially proud of my 8children and 17 grandchildren who all turned out great. Not sure how much credit I can take for that. The one thing I learned. It's no fun alone. I want someone to share the rest of my life with and have fun.

Meet a man from La Quinta, United States. According to others, I am stylish, educated, energetic, romantic, confident, driven, optimistic, a gentleman, very humorous, passionate, and one who lives life to the fullest. References available upon request, as they say in the corporate world. FYI: I am almost 6 foot tall and weigh 167 pounds.
In golf parlance: "I do not want to leave anything in the bag". As one member put it so well: "How long do we have to live live to the fullest and be the best we can be?". I also make Norman Vincent Peale look like a 'glass half empty' guy.
I was a 'rocket scientist' (really) for several years, and then I retired as CIO from a top learning company 14 years ago. I then dedicated myself to learning everything about improving one's golf performance. I am the current Golf Performance Specialist for the 2012 JC State Champion COD men's golf team.
I am affiliated with the PGA and have been mentored by PGA Tour pros and PGA-level golf instructors/trainers. I now own and operate the Zone Golf Performance Academy. In my spare time, I have been writting four books.
An ideal match for me would be a fitness devote' who continues to improve her conditioning. A sense a humor is a must. And of course the usual personal attributes: respectful, considerate, self-confident, ambitious, positive in nature, can-do mindset, mindful, aware, and driven.
A plus would be an interest in rollerblading, SUP, tennis, volleyball, biking, golf, and/or swimming.

Date a soulmate from La Quinta, United States. Where did all the time go? Have had the fun, while working and exploring the world. I love my family and 2 remarkable boys. I am a true gentleman and life's adventurer. Traveling and meeting people of knowledge while having fun and still learning is in my blood. I truly understand that a woman belongs at my side, or I, at her side.
Love going to a great or "small" winery. Love seafood in Barcelona with an excellent "chilled" white cava wine, and a great smile across the table. Love tasting the great foods of the world, but the food in Barcelona and Tuscany are my favorites. And yes, love all the great wines, even from the "new world", but the old world continues to provide the comfort, for my tastes.
Love walking in the same area of civilizations long gone, and viewing their successes, and of course, the cause of their downfall. I also love/love museums and history. But, new adventures in this ever changing world are also stimulating.
I have traveled to 50 countries, some of them no longer exist. Found out that most people are the same, the world over, with the same basic concerns. But, certain stimuli results in confusion and chaos, that cannot exist in my life. But, for the most part, hopefully, but not in my lifetime, it will evolve to kindness and success for the Human condition.
Also, I still, even at my age, volunteer to help the elderly/elderly. It was funny, about a year ago, that I realized, that I was old too! But, I'm far from it, both physically and mentally.
By the way, if you think that Barack Obama is a good President, I am not for you.
For me, it is simply a great love. Yes, there have been many, married once. But, I have not been perfect, sad to say. If only.. .................But, "youth" is wasted on the young, as I have found out. I do have the ability to understand a "good" person. I do understand that some of us are not perfect, but will be, if not, we tried!
But, I have reached one final conclusion on love; A great love, regardless of the time, is well worth the effort! Is it not great to have a final love, or is it asking tooooooooooooooooooooooooo much?
By the way, there are two (2) things that will not make me trust people; To Wit---People that don't like chocolate or ZZ Top.

Meet someone special from La Quinta, United States. Recently retired and now living the desert life (still not sure if this is my final destination; I'm leaving my options open until I meet you). I'm active, fit (workout weekly), inquisitive, financially secure, adventurous and enjoy the never ending humor (and contradictions) of life. I like traveling, especially to tropical locations, cruises and learning the history offered by some destinations. I enjoy dining out, concerts, dancing, movies and plays. Of course, there's also cooking, playing and relaxing at home. Golf is my outdoor sport of choice, but I'm open to others.
I'm looking for a relationship that will lead to a lifelong monogamous, stable and mutually rewarding relationship. Humor, intellect, honesty, respect (for others, as well as each other) loyalty and trust are a must. Conversation would be open and easy between us. I look forward to sharing our mutual interests, values and unique individual qualities. I hope to find a woman that would become my best friend, confidant, partner, companion and lover. I know such a relationship takes a lot of time and effort to develop - I'm willing to invest plenty of both from the start and would want the same from you.
There's so much more to say, but that can wait until our first encounter - the best is yet to come....

Date single man from La Quinta, United States. I am the sort of person who has trouble sitting still, I have to be accomplishing something, reading, golf, exercise, x-words, something! I am happiest when I am doing something or planning to do something. I live on a golf course and play golf regularly, the strongest part of my game seems to be perseverance. I bicycle, swim (actually I run laps in the pool), go to the gym, hike, jog, paint, read, follow the Lakers, the Dodgers, college football (I played small college football). I am a member of the Sierra Club and go on outings with them. I want to go places I’ve read about and see places I’ve never seen. I hope to climb Half Dome in Yosemite National Park and would like to climb (hike) to the top of some mountain, maybe Mt. Baldy near Ontario, California, my old hometown. I am curious to see what’s in the museums I have not visited. I would like to take a walking tour across Scotland or Wales, much more appealing to me than a luxury cruise. I have not had the opportunity to travel much over the last few years and am anxious to make up for that.
If my friends, colleagues, and family were asked to come up with ten words/terms to describe me I believe they would say I was; loyal; honest, kind, generous; polite; tasteful and creative; polite; hardworking; a wonderful father; intelligent; athletic; someone able to able to see the humor in his mistakes. Or they might say; standoffish; reserved, maybe a little distant; guarded; competitive; sometimes impatient; a man of interesting but different tastes.
I would like to be more adventuresome (for which I need a partner) thus a little less restless. I have never really had my own pets, but seem drawn to those who are pet lovers. I would like to do a little good in this world.
An ideal woman for me would be one who finds virtue in how I see myself and accepts me with a kindly laugh, a smile, and maybe a little shrug. She would have to appreciate the physical side of life, someone who likes sports, games, and doing things outside. I would like someone who could teach me things I don’t know.
It is very, very important for me to be with someone who laughs quietly with me and smiles at me often, because I always smile back.

Date men and women from United States. My ideal match must have a great sense of humor and positive attitude!!!!
I'm from Portland but I have also lived in the desert for a few years. I am not desperate to find the "love of my life"....just interested in finding fun friends here in the desert...if it's more than that...it's called destiny....and I'm not in charge.
My friends are trying to get me to write a book about my life encounters, but I'm afraid my adult children would read it. I've taken my oil painting supplies out of storage, but have yet to follow in Van Gogh's footsteps...which means I have both ears at this juncture. My life career was in the advertising agency business. I'm semi-retired...I think I'd like a part time business so I'm also looking for another small business to start or buy...besides dabbling in real estate. Too much time on my hands. The sunshine here is fabulous, so every day is a gift....especially after you've lived in the rains of the NW.
I have a quick caustic wit and a reasonable command of the English language. I don't suffer fools but I try to see the best in people...I hope. I had to laugh when one lady suggested my profile was more like a resume than a match posting. She's probably right.
I don't know that I have an "ideal" match. Whether it's a "match" is not as important as it is to connect, create and enjoy new friends. I confess...."crusing" thru match searches is pretty entertaining and worth the price of admission.
PS Can anyone tell me why people post photos of their pets, plants and exotic places? I suspect most people on Match.com aren't interested in dating a dog nor an exotic place. But that's just me..... Yes, my puppies are in there...but not alone.
If your profile is DECEIVING IN ANY WAY!!!!! be kind enough not to contact me. Never know...I may ask to see your drivers license. You're welcome to see mine. You know...old photos, fibs about age, weight, etc. Oh...and I just noticed something else. Chances are if there are things posted all over the front of your refrigerator....I'm probably not the guy for you. lol
PS I've cut my subscription to match as of August 27, 20012.
