Date women from United States / California / Los Angeles, 47 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I grew up in Silverlake before it was cool.
So, I have history here but I still find a way to get lost. Come find me!
I've been in long term relationships so I know what's missing. I love to laugh! To feel comfortable and challenged
at the same time. That feeling we've put a spell on one another and it's our own wonderful, special kind of crazy.
I'm lucky to have inherited the Chinese genes that along with regular exercise and healthy food help keep me fit and
youthful. I play a strong game of paddle tennis (a fast game on an half-sized -tennis court) so if you're a natural
at racket sports in particular, there will be swooning. Or, patience while you learn. (Smiles) You can school me on
golf, surfing or the constellations, whatever it is, I'm looking forward to it.
I'm passionate about my hobbies. I collect stuff but not clutter. I think I might be worth more because I'm in my
original packaging. I'm an art director so I'm visually bent. I'm moved when form and function are in perfect harmony.
Keeping each other interested and interesting sounds like fun to me. Let's see what happens.

Meet a woman from California, United States. IРІР‚в„ўve always believed that life is for living and that it can be even more fun with a partner by your side. Thus, IРІР‚в„ўve decided to jump into the match.com wading pool and see whoРІР‚в„ўs out there. IРІР‚в„ўm a well-traveled woman who has a thriving business here in Los Angeles. I enjoy the usual -- delicious, healthy foods, travel, quiet times, the occasional over-the-top times and everything in between. IРІР‚в„ўm all about celebrating every one of lifeРІР‚в„ўs moments -- whether theyРІР‚в„ўre occurring at the local Starbucks during a rainstorm or while on a bridge overlooking some exotic locale overseas.
Besides being a child of the world (originally hailing from Australia -- with a slight accent to prove it) and a lover of different cultures, IРІР‚в„ўm also very active (meaning in great shape), told IРІР‚в„ўm attractive (although itРІР‚в„ўs all in the eye of the beholder, right?) and very playful and adventurous. I should also note that IРІР‚в„ўm told IРІР‚в„ўm very young looking for my age. Since IРІР‚в„ўm being honest about my age, I include it for what itРІР‚в„ўs worth.
When I asked friends to share a few adjectives theyРІР‚в„ўd use to describe me, they came up with: inquisitive, fun, happy, affectionate, warm and passionate. Of course, youРІР‚в„ўd have to decide all that for yourself. But I donРІР‚в„ўt think youРІР‚в„ўd be disappointed after meeting me in person. Oh, and IРІР‚в„ўm also a grateful person -- knowing that life is full of good fortune as long as you keep your eyes (and heart) open to it.
But enough about me! Tell me more about you. If you asked, IРІР‚в„ўd tell you IРІР‚в„ўm looking for someone who enjoys living life to the fullest. Being secure and knowing who you are as a person is a big turn-on for me. If you would describe yourself as intelligent, adventurous, well traveled, successful and as having a great sense of humor, then IРІР‚в„ўd definitely be interested in hearing from you. I should also mention that although I donРІР‚в„ўt have any children myself, I enjoy being around them immensely.
If youРІР‚в„ўd like to find out more about me and think I should get to know you, then letРІР‚в„ўs meet for coffee (Starbucks and/or rainstorm optional). In the meantime, thanks for reading more about me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Date someone special from California, United States. I've been extremely lucky in love and am grateful for having had an amazing marriage. While I'm fairly strong and independent with a great life of my own, I'm still open to the possibility of falling in love again and sharing the rest of my life with that special someone. I expect it will be different and wonderful in its own way as we are all 'the one and only' of ourselves.
Compatibility in all respects makes for a successful relationship and does not require us to be similar in every way. Differences make it all the more interesting and fun. Although, I have to say intellectual compatibility is one of the most important bridges to a good connection for me. In this online format, the writing provides the first clue.
Causes greater than myself motivate me. People with the highest integrity inspire me. Compassion and empathy drive me. I go to bat for teams that do their best while hanging on to their scruples. Gentlemanly ways get my attention.
Meeting online may increase the odds of meeting the right person but filters out the vibes that catches one's attention in person. One can really only tell after meeting in person and sometimes it takes more than one meeting. So hopefully something in our respective profiles piques sufficient mutual interest to lead to that first meeting and more.

Meet a soulmate from United States. East Coast bred, West Coast leaning.....I grew up in Connecticut, lived in Manhattan, San Francisco and other parts..............
Optimistic and persevering.......Believe in doing the right thing.... Authenticity is paramount
I'd like to think that I am: Kind, smart, strong, fair, funny and genuine.
I know that I am: Financially solvent, educated and employable, and, can laugh at myself. I can honestly say that I am
at the top of my game.
Looking for: Roughly the same person, only a male version. Maturity, insight and cooking are
incredible bonuses.
I have the most in common with people who have pets and like that sort of thing. I love grounded men who understand life's possibilities. Not attracted to boastful arrogant types; there's nothing sexier than humility.
I like a person with an opinion, even if it conflicts with mine, as long as they can rationally and intelligently support it.
Please don't: Hate your mom or your ex, smoke, ride motorcycles, or do anything unpleasant or unlawful (unless it's something I would like.) I don't respond to winks, with that lack of motivation or anemia it probably won't work anyway.
DISCLAIMER: My pics are all recent and I really do look like them, but I'm really 52. I put 47 because I noticed that my age does not fall into the typical search range.
One thing is guaranteed - I'll fall in love if you can make me laugh out loud, and, if you are kind.
I believe in monogamy (when it works), in fact all the research indicates it to be your best bet at a healthy life.
So.....I'm ready to find something real, which I couldn't say before.
At the risk of sounding trite, I am looking for the last, true love of my life.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Date a woman from United States. My friends would discribe me as a very easy going person who likes to laugh and smile. Mostly up for anything. i like good conversation. I'm a little bit of a homebody. I'm a very simple person, not a drama queen. But i do like adventure. Love road trips.

Meet someone special from United States. Hi! So here's what's up: I am looking for someone with undoubted character and who shares my interests. He absolutely has to have interests uniquely his own which will probably peak my interest in him., for sure. Variety is the spice of life. I am looking for someone who is putting effort into being healthy in mind and body, and my hope is to partner up with someone who has that goal in mind. I envision walking, hiking, dancing together...as part of our routine. I also enjoy a good laugh, wit, charm(not to be confused with conceit, oh no...). I'm 5'6". I'm looking to re-introduce myself to the dating scene. I ultimately want to date seriously, preferrably someone who believes in marriage and not just living together.
I really enjoy social dancing and prefer east coast swing and lindy hop, but I can learn anything. I also like going to the movies, plays, musical theater, and seasonal outdoor concerts for free or otherwise. Dining out...absolutely! I also love to be home after a hard week at work on some weekends. Balance. I must admit to listening to Coast to Coast AM radio program to learn about the paranormal, psychic phenomena, economic-global forecasting, and alternative sciences. It's very entertaining, I swear! I also enjoy National Geographic Channels, HGTV, PBS, the Food Channel, and shows like Hell's Kitchen and Master Chef. I love watching Law and Order Criminal intent reruns(Vincent Donofrio fan) and Special Victims Unit. Gosh, it would be nice to share these things with someone and not feel judged.
How lucky I would be to find someone who likes me just for "me". Optimism is something I can bring to the mix. That comes from my faith in God which helps me keep my life in perspective daily. Anyway, I counsel people for a living and the job has been "very, very good to me". You should know that I'm a parent on the verge of an empty nest. My child ( who I'm so proud of) and I are preparing for college applications this year. Wish us luck! So what's your story?

Date a soulmate from Los Angeles, United States. Why am I here? Because like so many others, I thought "it" would just happen. So I went along my daily grind, working, working out, spending time with family and friends, vegging in front of the TV, etc. before I realized that "it" isn't going to happen unless I do something to make "it" happen. So here I am. Looking for love and lifelong commitment in cyberspace. I'm fairly active, work out at the gym, at the park or on my elliptical 2-3 times per week, take the stairs whenever I can and occasionally love to go out golfing on a beautiful sunny day and get beat up by the course! Lest you think I'm a total athlete, I'm not. Please be forewarned that I have a lazy streak and occasionally tend towards couch-potatoness: mindless TV, crosswords, sudoku and junk food. If it's chocolate you're wondering about, I like mine dark (it's better for you anyway). I've been told I have a good sense of humor, and I really appreciate someone who can tell a good joke...and take one. I work very hard during the week, which makes it important for me to find someone who is ultimately willing to spend a good part of the weekends with me. I don't expect to be, nor do I want to be, joined at the hip, and friendships outside of the relationship are important to maintain, but if I don't ever see my partner, why bother? As for activities, I tend to plan everything down to the minutia, so it might be somewhat refreshing to have someone a bit more spontaneous, just for kicks. I like the typical stuff - concerts (rock, country), movies, and occasional play, walks, hikes, even rappelling. I've recently started going to a rock climbing gym with some friends. That's a kick. Family is big - not in size, but in importance - birthdays, holidays are special events filled with lots of gifts and FOOD! Alas, I'm not a big animal lover - I wasn't exposed to animals as a child much and I'm not home enough to take care of dogs or cats. I'm somewhat traditional (except for that whole dog-thing), so if you're a player, I'm not interested. If you want a date with a potential for a lifelong monogamous commitment, give me a whirl!

Meet a woman from Los Angeles, United States. Absolutely very random things or loves that might help better describe me. Movies (Forrest Gump, Princess Bride, KingРІР‚в„ўs Speech, Social Network, Caddyshack), music, scrabble, yoga, exercise, reading a great book by any pool or beach, museums, baseball, and spontaneous weekend getaways. I love my new iPhone (Sir, Should I join Match?:-). I usually never take things too personal or serious (unless of course it's personal or serious). Loyalty is my most valued trait in a friend. There is not enough money in this world you could pay me to date Charlie Sheen.
I love my very dumb and mind numbing reality shows yet also TIVO Charlie Rose, The Barefoot Contessa and House! I have been fortunate and lucky in life to have seen some of the greatest places and cities in this world but as shallow as LA can be, it is still home and l love it.
I would way rather go to a dodger game than go have my make-up done. I am a zillion times more likely to be impressed by random acts of kindness than by a car someone drives or the house they live in.
Every picture is very recent, (i.e.-no surprises:-). If you would like more pictures or want to know more about me, just ask. I’ve nothing to hide and everything I have written in my bio’s and essays are the absolute truth. Lastly, and by far most importantly, I have my health, I love my family, I love my children, and I’ve got the most amazing best friends I could trust with anything…...it makes me feel as though I’m one of the luckiest girls in the world.

I'm grateful for my family and good health. I'm real... I like to have a good time but take responsibility seriously.

A person whose as comfortable hanging out at home, going to a museum, movie, the beach or even a party at the White House. I have an exciting life! Family and good communication are very important to me. I try to apply the Zen Mind in my daily routine: To experience all things with the enthusiasm of a child, as if I was seeing things for the first time.

. I am a honest woman i like to take care of my family and home,i hope a good and single man cam to my life, ( soy una mujer sin ningun compromiso sentimental y el hombre que llegue a mi vida debe ser completamente soltero sin ningun compromiso sentimental)

. I'm fairly sane. I have a good idea of what I want. I won't lie to you or make you wish you'd never met me. For example, my age really is my age, my pictures were taken in 2009 (by a friend who is a good photographer, but not, as many of you have asked, a professional one), and as it seems to be important to many of you, no, I am not as comfortable in a little black dress as I am in jeans. (Despite what my pics may suggest, I do own - and wear - jeans. I even get them dirty.) I'm smart in the ways that I think count most in life - i.e., I'm awful at math, but know what's up. I can make you smile. I could kiss the right guy for hours. I make a great cup of coffee and an even better brownie. I'm kind to waiters, animals, and (most) children.
I recently started surfing and skiing, am a complete idiot at both, but am undeterred. I've squandered many a Sunday watching the Green Bay Packers. But I also love reading, theater, and museums, even though I don't get most art. (Not that I feel I need to get it.) Oh, and I love quality movies (old and new), puttering around antique stores, fashion, and interior design. My latest obsessions are swimming more than 4 laps without passing out, taking a photograph in which more than 10% of the subject actually appears in the picture, and mastering certain yoga arm balances and inversions, the names of which I can't pronounce, much less spell. I also have recently resumed playing tennis after 30 years in recovery.
At the risk of being negative, here are a few things I don't especially enjoy: "winks," camping, fishing, ATVs, rabid conservatives, lawyer jokes, men who tell lawyer jokes and expect me to go out with them, men who view Match as a candy store (if this is you, please do us both a favor and move on to the next profile), motorcycles, activities involving a lake (unless it's Lake Cuomo, I suppose), extremists of any kind, Las Vegas,the excessive use of emoticons, bad manners, and the acronym, "LOL."
Also, if you're tempted to write me with advice on how to ski, surf, swim, take a picture, play tennis, view art, or add/subtract, don't. Trust me. It never comes across the way you think it does.
Who I'd like to meet: A whip-smart, witty, (reasonably) stable, and (relatively) secure guy. Basically wholesome, but with an edge. Has it together - not perfect, but also not a "project." Genuinely likes women. Doesn't start sweating, mumbling or twitching when asked about his past. Would not consider (at least not for long) being with a woman who didn't have a brain and opinions, even if she was really, really hot. Is affectionate, warm, and not too afraid of intimacy. Is able to strike the right balance between letting things unwind in due time and not di**ing around as if he were in his 20's. (This includes texting as a form of substantive communication.) He genuinely likes animals (or at least, won't recoil in horror around mine). Caveats -- if he: (1) posted a photo here of a car, plane, or motorcyle; (2) is still reeling from a break-up (hating her counts as "reeling"); (3) has been untruthful in his profile; (4) wouldn't want me to see where he lives; or (5) routinely uses phrases like "positive energy" or "aura," he's not for me.
P.S. I don't respond to winks, men who aren't local, and men who don't post a picture (or one taken in the the last decade).
