Date a man from California, United States. i believe in honor and chivalry (doing the right thing despite the consequences). if i had to describe myself in a single phrase, it would be "well rounded." i love nature and animals and was a vegetarian for over 25 years. but i wouldn't consider myself a liberal.
i'm a veteran of the U.S. armed forces. After college, i worked 15 years in the high-tech industry until shedding my suit and tie for a career in film. it was like being born again. now i lead an "Indian Jones" kind of life. i make historical documentary films, which take me to the most remote and often dangerous corners of the earth. it's only when i return home to begin post-production that my life takes on a sense of normalcy again.
i've been an athlete all of my life. from organized sports such as high school football, varsity wrestling, summer football camps, to leisure sports such as long-distance swimming, tournament racquetball, even winning the pacific fleet naval superstars competition (something like the navy olympics). although i've mellowed out over the years, i still enjoy working out 4-5 times a week. but i wouldn't consider myself a jock.
i enjoy a snort of good kentucky bourbon now and then along with a good cigar (cuban preferably). maybe someone can save me from my wayward ways :)
i’d like to meet someone genuine, down to earth, who is past her clubbing days and loves children; someone brave enough to join us on some of our film shoots. next stop is Izmir, Turkey. . . . are your bags packed?
Meet someone special from California, United States. Will we click? - The old saying goes, "opposites attract" and that may have an element of truth, but I believe that it is the similarities we share that makes longer lasting relationships. Differences are important - makes life interesting and fun, but for me, my partner and I should have similar core values and ideas. Born and raised in NY suburbs, Syracuse grad packed the car in '88 and drove to LA to fulfill my dream, to break into special effects. I'm definitely one of the lucky ones who is doing what they always dreamed of since the age of 11.
I'm a good communicator and am not afraid to talk about anything because understanding your significant other is important! Been told that I have a sexy voice which means I give great phone! (but would rather talk in person) Texting has it's place but not into "text abusers"... still would rather talk on the phone or in person.
I can be a goof (look at my patented pose in my pix!) and think I have a pretty good sense of humor, dry as it is., but never feel like I need to be center of attention - I leave that to others. Confident but not cocky which may be the NYer in me. I keep in shape at the gym but enjoy other forms of exercise as well. Pretty savvy with gadgets and computers, since they are tools of my trade. I have a nice big collection of dvds and a nice little collection of pocket watches.
My Photos:
The first few are the most recent but this site doesn't allow editing the order so there are older and newer mixed in. The kids are my nieces.
The bird is the famous mascot duck from those funny insurance commercials. In one I am "puppeteering" him for a Japanese shoot and the green screen suit was during a US shoot.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. We all like to smile and laugh, let's do it every day. I'm just bumping around enjoying myself. Good people please feel free to contact me. Much more concerned about who you are than what you'd lose if your place burned down. I'm looking for someone witty and intelligent. I don't really have a measuring stick for intelligence. I don't really need the sharpest knife in the drawer, I just can't handle the spoons. Bold and assertive is very attractive to me, but sweethearts capture my heart. I am looking for the woman that makes me catch my breath when she walks in a room. I'm not talking about the way she looks, I'm talking about the way she looks at me. Not the goo-goo eyes of infatuation, but the look we've all seen couples give each other that have been together a long time, especially a long, long time. Whether it's grandparents or the elderly couple in the park that is holding hands when you see them turn and look at each other - well, that's why I'm searching. And when I find you, I'll look at you the same way.
Meet single man from California, United States. I am looking for intelligent woman, who loves Art, who maybe want to learn how to paint and draw. I love to play tennis and some piano.. I would be happy if she has the same interests, or if not then that fine to.
Date a man from Los Angeles, United States. Is there a fun-loving, bright and level-headed woman out there? I consider myself a successful, fun, and easy-going guy who would like to find someone to enjoy the good things in life with. I'm not looking for just anyone and I'm sure most of you aren't either. I moved to LA almost 20 years ago from the Rocky Mtns. I like my work and take pride in it.
While I have been fortunate to enjoy the good things in life: travel, career, loving family and great friends, creature comforts, etc., but at the end of the day life is meant to be shared with a signficant other, a lifetime companion. I realize that its not so much what you do and where you go, rather its about the company you keep. I enjoy a great concert or a big night out. But I'm just as happy spending down time with my partner. I appreciate down to earth people who have a good perspective on life: who have travelled, are curious, and who believe in treating others with respect.
If this fits your way of thinking then let's chat.
Meet someone special from Los Angeles, United States. I was born in Santa Monica, raised in Seal Beach, went to college in San Diego, and moved to LA 15 years ago… I was a punk rock marching band drum nerd in high school who became an indie rock record producer… I've been fortunate enough to do a modest amount of traveling in my life, touring across the US and Europe, making records in Norway, Japan, South Africa, and Australia, and for fun hiking in Peru… I've owned many animals and love them all but I have a special place in my heart for Rottweilers… I am very liberal politically, but I'm not a bleeding heart… I'm a maximizer, the kind of person that has to read an entire menu before I can choose what I am going to order… I don't love driving in Los Angeles and would prefer to walk everywhere if I could… I've always felt like I'm the kind of person who can see two sides to everything and all the gray in between… Last year, I sold my house, moved downtown, and started working on opening up a donut shop. I think they call it a midlife crisis. I call it a reinvention and going for broke.
I guess, like everyone, I'm looking for someone who is smart, independent, happy, slightly extroverted, and isn't intimidated by someone on the quiet side.... someone who is strong but vulnerable, a good communicator, and who is in touch with their emotions… someone who is hilarious but doesn't think they are a comedian… someone who loves ellipses as much as I do…
Date a soulmate from Los Angeles, United States. When will the world learn that a million men are of no importance compared to one Man?? Thoreau said it all. I hope to be a man of vision and of substance. Not easily compared and certainly not forgettable....that "one in a million man"!! I believe that communication is the key to all successful relationships....I try to use it effectively everyday. Other than insisting that my mashed potatoes be chunky, I am easy and accommodating.....variety is a good thing.
Meet single man from Los Angeles, United States. "I DONT HAVE TO TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD WITH YOU, I JUST WANT YOU TO BE MY WORLD IM AROUND ". I have been to the EIFFEL TOWER and i have walked the vineyards in northern ITALY and my most memerable moment was NEW YEARS EVE on MELROSE in some dive bar with a girl that i was totally in LOVE with..!!Money can buy happiness but it cant buy chemistry. Are you looking for love? Polar bear on the outside. Teddy bear on the inside. A little rough on the edges. Ya sure! I like to start my day with a nice hike up Runyon Canyon and then to the gym three days a week. I like having my days free so I can meet you at work for lunch. My weekends are Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. 9 to 5 went out the window a long time ago. You will not find a pink shirt of ANY kind in my closet! Do I like going on vacation? Who doesn't! But, I think planning a trip is half the fun... Hawaii is one place that has slipped through my fingers. I've got a heart of GOLD or SILVER ... whichever you prefer.
Date a man from United States. To sum things up, I've done my share of dating and I'm ready to find my life partner. I've always envied the relationship my parents had, and now I want to find someone to share that with. I realize that the right person won't just come along, so I'm doing my part in finding her. I'm a pretty simple character. I've worked hard to get where I am in life, and I 'de like to meet someone that will appreciate me for me, and not for anything else. I have a good heart and am looking for someone with the same. My ideal match would be someone who is beautiful on the inside as well as outside. She values family, and believes in friendships. My friends and family are a large part of my life, and I hope that this would be important for her. My mom has always taught me that friendship and romance go hand in hand, and I still believe that. I want to find someone that I can confide in, and who could do the same with me. My generous nature has gotten me in trouble in the past, so I'm hoping to find someone that can accept and recipricate my respect for her.
I have traveled all over the world and the one thing missing is that special person to enjoy how beautiful different corners of the world are.. Traveling is a big part of my life, I live my life and i enjoy it...so see the world!!
I am trying to approach this with an open mind, and am very mellow. If things don't work out, then they don't work out. At least we gave it a shot!
Meet someone special from United States. So tough to talk about yourself as if you have a price tag on or something.....
Okay, here we go. I'm not very complicated, but I'm not a push over either. I guess I'm not too bad on the eyes, but that's the least of my concerns. It's best if you think you might have some interest in me to allow yourself to find out. I can describe myself all I want, but if you aren't interested, what's the point, right?
I do feel as if my time clock is ticking louder louder with each passing moment(be honest, you know that feeling-lol).
I want to find my best friend that hasn't made so many mistakes in their past that it will always haunt them for life. I come ex drama free, although I might provide some dramatic moments on my own! Having hope and being gracious is all we have to aspire to when things aren't going so great, but having a great time is much better, right ladies? All I ask for is the truth if things should ever get murky, I'm not jealous or anything like that, I expect the same in return. I realize at my age, without children and never having been married can and probably should be a red flag to most women(don't blame you for thinking that way), although it's not as it may seem. I've been engaged twice, in 4 relationships lasting over 4 years each and would have loved to have had something more happen, but it didn't. I'm definitely no player and if given the opportunity, you'd be pleasantly surprised by the way that I am.
This online dating stuff is very daunting and challenging, I am very aware that 90% of the women are seeking 10% of the men on match and probably vice-versa, what can I say, we're obviously here because "out there" hasn't been such a great story to tell-lol
Maybe you're out there?
Date a soulmate from United States. I love the city lights at night as much as the smell and sound of the ocean. I'm looking for a confident and loving, nurturing and feeling woman who wants to share fun, friends, new experiences and a great life together. Not into drama. Not into flash (though it's fun from time to time). If you're into reality and true moments, then we can have fun together (and yes, I have to be able to make you laugh, and you make me laugh).
I've got 3 cats, own a few businesses, am NOT a workaholic, but intense on making all things happen - personally and professionally.
I'm looking for a partner in life who likes adventure, but isn't addicted to the next high - she needs to be balanced enough to live in the now plus have things we share in life to look forward to.
