Date women from United States / California / Los Angeles, 41 year old - page 3

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I want to meet fun and interesting people. What happens after that completely depends on the situation.
It's my 2nd time on Match, so here's my approach: First, I look at the pics--if you don't have any, I won'tt look at your profile. If you took a "mirror pic", I wonder why your friends won't take your pic and move right along--make the effort. My pics are 2011/2012. I'm NOT ok with "bait and switch"-- if your pics are several years old and you think you still look the same, I think you're probably delusional or on drugs; please don't waste my time.
Next-I read your summaries to get a sense of your personality or see if we have anything in common. I'm a pretty direct person, I'll tell you what I think, but I'm open minded, so if you make a reasonable argument, I'll consider reevaluating my answer. UPDATE: I was recently reminded of something that I truly believe in, so I've modified my preferences: Never say never.
Finally, if there is something about you that I find fun or interesting--the way you look, your cool pics, what you wrote, or what you specified as your preferences, I'll wink or email. If you wink back or email, then so will I. Pretty simple process, right?
Random things about me for those of you who like to read: I'm a huge fan of cooking shows, but I don't cook anything (leave it to the professionals). I don't believe in absolutes, but often use the word absolutely. I believe that people should try to be nice as much as they possibly can. My flaws force me to be a better person. Sometimes, I see cruelty in kindness. I prefer an ugly truth to a beautiful lie. I'm super analytical, but always follow my heart. I like to solve problems, but I don't enjoy puzzles. I'm inspired by the quotes at the beginning of the Clone Wars. I think chick flicks are fun things to do with your BFFs. I'm not a girly-girl, but I'm just as comfortable in a dress and heels, as jeans and sneakers. I have a "versatile" style and dress for the occasion. I tan even with SPF 30. I prefer warm weather and icy cold drinks. I currently don't own a TV. I enjoy the batting cages, but don't go very often. I love when people say things to me that really makes me think about something, *differently*...

Meet a woman from California, United States. I've recently returned to CA after a brief few years away. Although I am not from here originally and have lived in a few different states and in Europe, I keep coming back to CA - for some reason it feels like home to me. I don't take life for granted and feel fortunate to once again call LA my home. There is so much to experience here!
Who am I? I've been described as loyal, sincere, funny and well-rounded. I may seem pretty quiet when I first meet new people, but warm up quickly as I tend to get my energy from others - yes, definitely an extrovert! I am energetic and enjoy staying active. Yoga and pilates are my favorite workouts for the moment, but I like to switch it up. I work from home when not traveling, so I like to get out and about whenever possible. I never grow tired of walking on the strand, either early in the morning or for a nice sunset. I enjoy good food, meeting new people, and listening to live music, especially at a smaller venue. I feel comfortable in a little black dress for a big night out or flip flops at the beach. I'm not really a huge sports fan, but I would say college football is a favorite, followed by beach volleyball (of course!) and tennis. If I had my preference, I would be a night owl, but I work on East Coast time, so I have a tendency to get sleepy earlier in the evening than I would like! That said, sleeping in on the weekend is a real luxury for me, although it rarely happens.
Who am I looking for? Someone who appreciates me for who I am. Honesty is key (that means your age, too!) I would like to meet someone who is interested in building a relationship, someone who is well balanced and at a stage in their life where they would like to share it with someone. I like a sense of adventure too - travel and checking out new places, restaurants, etc. Of course, I could go on and on but without that "je ne sais quoi", it all means nothing. One can only put so much on paper...you really never know until you meet. One more thing...I don't mind if you have children of your own as long as you are ready to welcome someone special into your life and make time for them as well.
Thanks for stopping by and please shoot me an email if you have an interest - would love to hear from you.

Date a woman from United States. ME: I was raised in Michigan and attended school in Chicago so I am not your typical LA girl . . . more like the girl next door with a bit of an edge. I am ambitious and disciplined (except when it comes to milk chocolate), a girl who knows what she wants and refuses to settle for anything less. I am independent but never too proud to ask for help or a shoulder to lean on. I value my personal space and privacy but look forward to sharing my life with that special someone. I can be lighthearted, fun and playful but am also nurturing, loyal and dependable. The simple things in life bring me the most joy . . . enjoying dinner/brunch with friends, skyping with my family, reading on the balcony while listening to the courtyard fountain and doing just about anything (or nothing at all) with my dog, Dora.
I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.
I believe in kissing, kissing a lot.
I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.
I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.
I believe that tomorrow is another day.
-Audrey Hepburn

. Hello all. I do realize I'm asking you to take a leap of faith by contacting me without seeing a picture, which I have not posted because I value my privacy and am probably in denial about being a member of an online dating service. I will send send you my picture upon request. The scoop on me: I am hard working, hard playing, and easy going. Life is short and that is a cliche. But I prescribe to it anyway. I am looking for a partner. My ideal man is witty, kind, and has his eye on the big picture. My life is busy and full. However, I will gladly make room for someone to share it with.

. My ideal guy is a wonderful man w a big caring heart, who's funny, interesting, fit, active, has family values, stability, intelligence, ambition, career, and who sees himself in a wonderful relationship w a family in the future.

. My last Match experience was definitely not the best but I'm all for second chances so I'm giving this another shot. Honestly, I would rather meet someone in person, through a friend or something but my life is quite crazy at the moment and it is difficult to meet people when you are swamped with work and life.
I'm looking for someone to hang out with. Not necessarily something serious but, of course, I'm not close to that. Because of how many things I'm juggling right now with work and my dad's illness, I would rather meet someone who I can hang out with. Go to the movies, concerts, sporting events and such. Something casual will be ideal for now.
I am looking for someone who is career-driven and self-assured. A man with dreams, goals and ambition (in a good way). Please read about my match below (if you are so inclined). We all are visual beings (those who say that a picture doesn't influence them, are lying) so if there is a mutual visual match, let's talk.
Some of my likes? Concerts (live music is the best) and sports (I'm a soccer fanatic...Barcelona has been my team forever and I love the LA Galaxy. Baseball, Basketball and Hockey are also up there for me). I am an avid reader...since I got my hands on my e-reader I don't stop. I enjoy traveling...have done quite a bit of traveling in the US and now want to do some international travel. Love movies...dramas, action, romantic comedies, etc.
If there is anything I missed, feel free to ask.
