Date men and women from United States / California / Malibu, 37 year old

Date single man from Malibu, United States. The first kind of girl on Match is independent, secure and just as content to sit at home with Netflix as she is to go out on a date. The other kind is always moaning about being alone and plotting which guy to go after just like an Army general preparing for battle.
I guess I’m looking for someone who falls somewhere in between...a girl who is not altogether happy being alone but isn’t on the war path to find her next man either.
Everyone knows what a guy is supposed to want in a girlfriend: a soul mate, a best friend, blah, blah, blah. But I'm going to let you in on some little-known facts— that most guys would never tell you about. If you don't agree with me on these or think I am a jerk then I understand but hopefully this will give you a little idea about how I really think (and many guys do). Just want to be honest.
Don’t Leave Me GUESSING
Guessing is fun when it comes to game shows, but Howie Mandel can't help me when I’m trying to figure out which movie you'd like to see or what you want for your birthday or more importantly, what you're really pissed off about. I know girls all wish we'd just get you enough to figure it out on our own, but the truth is, guys aren't great at reading subtle hints.
Know when it’s ok to LIE
I want you to be honest with me when it comes to important things, but when it comes to personal things that could be sore spots, like thinking my best friend is hot or hating my mom's cooking, honestly, I'd prefer that you tell a little white lie.
You don't have to pretend to love my hideous new shirt, but you can just say something neutral, like, "It's okay. I like your green one better." I appreciate when girls have the heart not to needlessly hurt my feelings — because yes, I do have them!
Pick your BATTLES carefully
No relationship is perfect, and no two people are going to agree on everything. A great girlfriend doesn't let her pride stand in the way of letting her guy walk away from a silly argument at least thinking he got his point across (even if you still secretly disagree with me). If you're arguing about something important to you, like your religious beliefs, then stick to your guns.
But little disagreements can snowball into big fights. And nothing is sadder than having a huge fight and breaking up because I think Mad Men rocks and you think it sucks.
HUMOR me
Every man wants a woman he can laugh with, so you have to have a good sense of humor. I want a woman who will laugh at my jokes and can make me laugh. And let's face it ladies, every now and then you're going to be the butt of my jokes too (and probably in a public place). When this happens, laugh. Better yet -- fire one right back at me. Please, don't take yourself too seriously.
Don’t make me CHASE you (too much)
I don't mind being the aggressor in a relationship, but I also don't want to feel like I'm running in circles. I will never understand why some ladies feel the need to ignore calls and turn down dates from guys they're interested in. It doesn't make me more interested, it makes me move on. If you're interested, let me know. Not only is that appreciated, but it's really hot. Who doesn't want to be wanted? Oh, and be obvious, us guys aren't good at taking hints.
Sorry if this sounds blunt but I hope this helps you to know a little more about me and maybe a little more about the sometimes strange, males species.
If my comments have inspired you...made you laugh...made you think, or even made you a little mad...then maybe we have something to chat about..
There is a lot more I could tell you about me....
like...I am a owner of an organic skin care products company...a published author, a gourmet chef, an enthusiastic wine connoisseur, and a serial entrepreneur. I live on the beach in Malibu, into water sports and fitness, love to travel the world, crave exploring and adventure, food is my pleasure, laughter is my medicine, life is my passion.
