Date women from United States / California / Manhattan Beach, 29 year old

Date a soulmate from Manhattan Beach, United States. Southern CA has been my home since 2004. Work and travel took me away for some periods here and there, previously lived in several different cities and also abroad (visited about 30 countries), but I made it back to beautiful CA. Even though I love it here, I'm extremely close to my family and love where I'm from.
I enjoy getting to know people on a real level, and in relationships I'm a loyal and honest person. To me that's the foundation of a relationship, you've got to have a partner who has your back in good times and bad! I'm looking for someone I can feel comfortable with no matter what we're doing. Having a great connection is the most important thing for me and I'm not interested in dating just anyone.

Meet a girl from Manhattan Beach, United States. I am a passionate, intelligent, social person who is just looking for someone to make me laugh. I am so sick of meeting the same type of guy over and over again in bars, so I thought I would try something new. People often tell me that I am a walking contradiction. I am completely sports obsessed (Dodgers and Steelers), but my favorite color is hot pink. I get choked up over sappy movies, but can beat most people in a good game of Texas Hold 'Em. I get nightmares from scary movies, and would rather be on the top of a mountain snowboarding than almost anywhere else. I can drink my fair share of guys under the table, but will do so with perfectly manicured nails.
I lead a very active life and am always game for new experiences. I feel just as at home at a sports bar watching the game as I do at LA's newest "it" club. I could go to the beach everyday and am in love with my dog. I want someone who can challenge me intellectually, but will still sit and watch "Dumb and Dumber". I am extremely sarcastic and appreciate people who are similar. Music is a huge part of my life and love that I can just lose myself in the right song.
I'm lucky that I have a great family and an exceptional set of friends who are unrelenting in their support for me. To me, there is nothing more important.
I want superbowl parties and holidays with family and friends. I want advice on which running back to start in my fantasy football league and alone time on the sofa. I want him to hold my hand in the car and bet on stupid random things for dinners and back massages. I want someone who would throw a punch to protect me, but can talk his way into or out of anything. I want planned spontaneity and impromptu dance parties. I want someone who isn't afraid to laugh at himself.
