Date men from United States / California / Manhattan Beach, 42 year old
Date a soulmate from California, United States. Geez....its crazy that so much of the world has come to the internet! I haven't been on here much, so here it goes...I guarantee that this will be interesting and fun.
So what I am looking for is a woman with goals, who has a direction in life, who likes to really live life, likes to have fun and most of all laugh. I am looking for the woman that wants to spend time with her love interest, but that can also go in a her own direction at a party and still feel secure that I am with her. I would support my mate in all that she puts her heart and soul into, and hope that she would do the same for me. I guess, "someone to kiss, someone to miss", hahaha....if you can get that funny movie quote, then we could be a match.
As for me, I am a bit of a nutty guy who has goals in both career and love. Also, I am straight forward and honest to a fault. I laugh alot, whether it be at myself or anyone else. An example would be stopping to laugh and point at my best friend in the middle of the mall food court during Christmas, because he slipped and fell on a ketchup packet! It still makes us double over laughing.
I have a serious side and a romantic side. There is nothing better than just being with the woman you love, looking in her eyes while she feels the warmth of my embrace and kissing each other with both tenderness and passion. I really enjoy cooking, watching movies, but I also like to go to cheer for my Chargers at a bar with friends. Family is the most important thing in my life. I have a small family here, so I consider those that know me best as my family. I will do anything for my family. I also have twin nephews that are absolutely gorgeous, crazy and pain in the butt...but I love them w all that I am.
I haven't had the chance to travel much, but I hope to visit Italy and Greece soon! Though I have traveled extensively through the US, with Kailua, HI, NY and Boston being my favorite destinations. The people in Hawaii are so "go with the flow" and east coast people are just like me, straight forward.
Other than that, I love to smile and enjoy lifes little pleasures, like the calmness of a sunset, the smell of the first rain, the feel of the grass on my bare feet and the happiness of fireworks on the 4th of July. I can cook, but like to try new places to eat. I love watching movies and reading suspense novels.
So, lets laugh and have some fun....for the long term!
Meet someone special from California, United States. I had a joke to start my profile, but it seems jokes don't come across as we always want so I did some contemplating. Came up with this:
“I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it — I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. - Virginia Satir
It reminds me that I don't have to be everything to many but I want to be something to someone. Writing a profile here is the same. It's better to write it for the one person I am looking for, not everyone who I'm not looking for.
I am looking to meet someone who shares (and adds to) my values while also complementing each others passions in life.
My values: Zest for life, Honesty, integrity, mutual respect, philanthropic, forgiving, and most important: ability to communicate effectively and empathetically.
The person I am looking for would say:
I am in a great place in life and loving the journey, I am hot, smart, sexy, take care of myself, know that anything in life is possible, and don't have enough baggage that I could start my own brand. And I totally want to see Shawn tonight!
And to all you extremely, too busy to date people, if you are too busy to date (or dating too many people at once) I'm not you're guy. I'm financially stable, have time on my hands, lots of airline points, a great place at the beach, fun, supportive, and looking for someone ready to build a life together.
NARROWING DOWN THE SEARCH:
Every profile should have the standard FILTERS. Mine are:
I'm a foodie and have tried, but can't date vegetarians.
I'm athletic. Want to share at least one athletic thing with my wife. Running, volleyball, tennis, biking or I'm open. Not sure about yoga yet.
Lastly, I am an avid wine collector. So enjoying wine and wine tastings is important. Sorry non-drinkers.
The rest of my profile gives you more details so I'll stop writing now. I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes by Maya Angelou. I love this quote because so many times we think we can change someone or we can make someone be something they aren't and we waste much time. This rings true in dating.
“The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them.”
Date a man from California, United States. Life is meant to be appreciated. It would be great to be able to appreciate it with a special woman. I can be a very loving, loyal and fun best friend and more... I am new to this format but look forward too seeing what comes of it. Life is full of adventure and romance can be too.
