Date men and women from United States / California / Marina del Rey, 26 year old

Date a guy from Marina del Rey, United States. I am a small town guy from Canada, who was raised to appreciate everyone. I like to think of myself as being thoughtful and would do whatever I could to help a friend or loved one in need. When it comes to dating I find myself to be old fashion, where the best relationships always start with a good friendship.
As any typical Canadian I grew up playing hockey so have a large group of guy friends who are like brothers to me, so is important that we all get along! I love essentially all sports and try to be as active as possible... I am new to surfing and has been a tough road, but have grown to love it! I will be embarrassed if you are better than me at first, but can swallow my pride, being from the North its not uncommon for the girls to be equally as good and better than the guys, and with two older sisters there was a lot of competition... would like to think I came out on top of those battles though :p.
I have gone through experiences in life which has taught me to live each day to the fullest, which is how I ended up in Cali. I am still serious about work, but outside of work I like to take advantage of what this world has to offer and would be great to meet someone to enjoy it with!

Meet someone special from Marina del Rey, United States. My job is a big part of my life. I get to do what I love, and somehow have found myself in a position that is both challenging and fulfilling. The drawback? Late nights and long days. But you'll probably find me smiling and laughing most of the time, so I can't complain :)
Family, friends, living healthy, and living well are the other cornerstones of who I am. I grew up in Orange County, and try to get down to see my family a couple times a month. I've also got an amazing group of friends down there that I've known since elementary school...as I'm writing this I'm realizing that it's been way too long since I spent time with them.
I'm looking for someone who can complement and challenge me to never stop improving. Intelligence and perseverance are two of the most underrated attributes in women, and are pretty high up on my list of "must-haves." But nothing is more important than someone who likes to enjoy life! I'm not looking for any Debbie Downers. Or Negative Nancies.
To sum it all up--I'm a little bit awesome, and a little bit crazy.
And because music is an easy way to strike up a conversation, here's my top 5 right now: Queen, Get Up Kids, Kanye, Chiddy Bang, and New Found Glory.

Date a boy from Marina del Rey, United States. I am comfortable as who I am, and I like people comfortable with their own individual personas and identities.
I am adventurous, curious, passionate and intuitive and love having conversations about anything and everything around. I like going on long trips, exploring the culture and people of new places, trying new food and learning something new... And there are times when I would just relax and read a book by the fireplace or by the beach...
My friends describe me as a person who is outgoing, reliable and non-judgemental who manages to get everyone on the same page in spite of having my strong personal opinions. I like to meet people, make friends, get to know their experiences, share mine and have a fun time...

Meet a soulmate from Marina del Rey, United States. In a past life (college) I was a private chef and bartender. Now I'm in enterprise software sales. While I'm very focused on work and it can be intense - at heart, I’m a bird of paradise just looking to spread my wings and dance a silly dance to make people laugh. Simply put, I refuse to accept that being ambitious means I have to give up being fun, free and spontaneous.
My life is all about growth, exploration and making the most of every free second I have because I work a ton. I’m always on the go-go-go so lace up your drinking shoes and strap on a helmet because nobody knows what’s on the other side of the mountain... but that’s the fun in it. This train is bound for glory. Your comfort zone rests squarely in my rear-view mirror and it’s full steam ahead. Are you ready to punch your ticket?

I have been lucky enough to have been around many different countries mostly in Europe, so I hope my next trip will be to South America or the Far East.
I am an Architect, and I really enjoy my job, I am at a point where I am starting to see some of the buildings I have worked on be built which is a pretty cool feeling, and sure makes going to work a lot nicer (if only I could get more days off)!

Meet single boy from Marina del Rey, United States. I would like to meet someone who is confident and can have fun in any situation. Penchant for drunken dancing is encouraged and being witty/sarcastic is a must. Also, I'm looking for someone who is equally ambitious as I am.

I come from a big family with five sisters and I could not see myself with someone who doesn't value family above everything else in their life.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am looking for someone who is passionate and has a positive outlook on life, someone with strong values, someone who is open to communication and sharing their thoughts, someone who loves the outdoors and working out, someone to go out with and share a great conversation/ laugh with. In my free time I love cycling, running, taking long walks or hikes, watching the sunset or city lights, enjoying music, meeting new people, going to the movies, a sports game, or concerts. I would love to have someone special to share these activities with. I'd especially love to find someone who runs, road bikes, and/or hikes.
Currently I am a student at Anderson School of Management working toward a Masters in Financial Engineering.
I'm an easy going, down to earth girl who is always smiling or laughing. Maintaining good relationships with friends and family is very important to me. Things that you need to know about me, I'm an animal lover, a vegetarian, genuine, openly affectionate, appreciative of romance, a runner, a cyclist, and an equestrian (my favorite thing!).
I grew up in Riverside, CA. I have amazing parents (who have been together since high school, married for 33 years now) and a close older sister. Family, friends, and my pets mean the most to me. What would any of our achievements mean if we didn't have anyone to share them with?
I am a huge animal lover, but dogs are definitely my favorite. But, there is nothing like riding bareback in the hills with my horse. I never feel more free than this.

Meet people from California, United States. Hello there and thanks for stopping by! I joined match because it has been surprisingly hard to meet people in LA, and I've heard success stories about this.
I grew up north of San Francisco in a smaller town and after finishing law school in SF, I ended up in LA for work. I work at a class action litigation firm and enjoy it a lot so far. I love living and working in a big city, but having "small-town" values like honesty, friendliness and being genuine are very important to me (and somewhat hard to find).
Personality-wise, I am friendly, open-minded, independent, and I love to joke around a lot. The times I'm happiest are when I'm enjoying the simple things in life - lounging by the pool or the beach, a backyard BBQ with friends or family, and just being outside in general. I am pretty active and love to go hiking on the weekends, usually with my dog. (I've also heard that everyone on here likes to go hiking with their dog...is it a "single" thing to do or something? Or an LA thing?) A few of my other favorites are skiing, scuba diving, books, and trying new restaurants and bars. Also just started taking (indoor) climbing classes, so if you're into that it would be great to find a climbing partner!
I'd like to meet someone friendly and warm, confident, honest, kind, smart, and with a sense of humor. I prefer a guy who is pretty settled career-wise and financially secure, and knows the general direction his life is heading. Aside from that, I just have to meet you and find out :)
