Date men from United States / California / Manhattan Beach, 48 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Thank you for stopping by. Everyone seems to start by saying they enjoy travel and food. Seriously? Who doesn't? But now that we've established that let's talk substance.
Me: I gravitate towards compassionate and positive people. I am professional and in management. While it provides a livelihood, it does not define me. I am photographer, dog trainer, motorcycle adventure rider, coffee lover, vegetarian, animal rights advocate and health conscious (organic and simple). I am grateful to my mentors and love my family. I like quiet time for reflection but equally enjoy good conversation and company. I hope to meet a woman who has experienced life enough to know when she has found something real. Yes... I'm speaking in fragments, but profiles are usually skimmed anyway so you might appreciate this.
You: I hope you are kind. You speak up for those who can't. You care about animals. You are not materialistic. You love to laugh. You recognize when a moment should be savored. Nature takes you breath away. You enjoy physical activity (gym? bicycling? hiking? skiing? I am up for any of these) You are patient and forgiving. You love with your whole heart. Despite setbacks, you still have the capacity to trust completly. You are open to a relationship and understand that it takes compromise and nurturing in order to grow.
I know you're out there...maybe even reading reading this. Best of luck in your journey.

Meet single man from California, United States. I am fun loving, laid back man that enjoys travel, good food, sports and the company of a beautiful woman to share it with. I live in Southern California near the ocean and never spend a day in town without spending time at the beach. I am a long time dog owner and consider it part of my family. I am searching for a partner, best friend and lover. Sounds simple but in the LA area it is more difficult than you would believe! How about an honest, open relationship that allows both the freedom of expression and respect for a different point of view? agree or disagree but realize i want a partner that will give me an honest opinion, not tell me what she thinks i want to hear. Fun? Always, but that doesnt mean you have to leave home to find it. Great evenings can be found in front of your own fireplace with a home cooked meal much more than a black tie event in Beverly Hills (but thats cool too). My partner takes care of herself and how she looks, but does not have to spend an unequal amount of time in front of a mirror! Simplly put, i am looking for the best of both worlds, a woman comfortable in jeans and a black dress, and does not even realize how beautiful she actually is. I should have been a stand up comedian because i make everyone around me laugh! Always the best medicine! I go through live with a smile on my face and realize how lucky / blessed i really am. If my comments interest you, wink or contact me.
