Date men and women from United States / California / Marina del Rey, 36 year old

Date a man from Marina del Rey, United States. Ambitious and open-minded, thoughtful, loyal, independent, and down-to-earth. I have a young heart and mind, making me spontaneous and a straight shooter. I'm focused at a lot of things that I do, but am relaxed when my mind is blank. I thoroughly enjoy the arts and culture (music, arts, etc) and have a pretty creative mind, which along with that is some diverse and broad interests and an enjoyment of spirited conversation. I understand and enjoy the simple things in life, such as reflecting life while sitting on a beach at sunset, or being high in the night sky overlooking a great city landscape. I came from the Midwest, but have an eclectic set of interests that you could say is worldly.
I am looking for someone who is active and sporty, intelligent and diverse-minded, easy on the eyes, down-to-earth and enjoys the well-being of the mind and body.

Meet men and women from Marina del Rey, United States. I just moved to LA from NYC, where I was born and raised. I do have some friends here, but certainly less than I did in New York, so I'd love to meet some new peoplehere in LA. I moved here for work, and am enjoying the weather, but ofcourse not the traffic!
I'd really like to meet someone who is sweet, cool, and smart. Ultimately I'd like to meet someone who challenges me intellectually and otherwise. Athough I'm not in a rush to get married, I would like to get marrie someday and have a family.
I'm pretty busy, but wouldn't mind finding someone to share some laughs with, and, if things progress well, become exclusive.
I play the guitar and drums so I'm musically inclined. My job is a bit corporate, but that's certainly not my personality. I'm very much a live and let live type, but I do have strong opinions about things--although I'm smart enough to know that I don't know everything.
There's a lot more to me than the above 4 short paragraphs, so if interested feel free to drop me a line.
Also, if you live in China or any other far away land, while I appreciate the interest, please don't take offense if I don't respond.
And I know my photos s*ck. I'm working on it.

Date someone special from Marina del Rey, United States. Oh yippee, time to write about myself!! How about this: I'm nice and try to do the right thing. I'm pretty compassionate and try to help others. I was born in Santa Monica and have lived here in LA all my life. Hollywood bores me to tears.. I don't wear my sisters skinny jeans and will never have a tattoo on my neck. I've been to most every continent, but want to travel more...it's more fun with someone you like and can explore with. Basically, I like being outside, whether that's surfing, swimming, snowboarding, or sailing...man that's a lot of -s- activities. Life is way too short. I could live on sushi and have to stay away from sugar or it'll be bad...maybe. I'd like to find someone up for adventure and exploration, a relationship would be nice, heck..someone to go out to dinner with! If your profile looks like an ad for a Vegas pool party I'm sure there's another profile of a boy with his shirt off in the bathroom you can hook up with. I'm a bit of a smart ass...well maybe more than a "bit". I try not to take things too seriously. I make people laugh a lot..sometimes at me (if I'm lucky), but know when it's time to be serious. I like to sail at least once a week... I'm not really one to sit around and watch people do things on TV, I like doing them myself. Can we go now?

Meet people from Marina del Rey, United States. First, you should know I'm 40 but lowered my age... in order to fool you, I guess. No, no, just to show up in more searches. See, I'm telling you right away and not on a first date.
Also, I've become skeptical of many in L.A.'s dating population. If you live far from me and hear from me please do not discount my email because I do not live close to you. I really want to get to know you and will make the effort if we find a "match."
About me: I have Midwestern roots and East Coast-Ivy League seasoning. The ocean is a large part of my existence because I have the good fortune of living right on the most placid beach in L.A. Dear reader also should know I have a dry, sarcastic sense of humor that others do not always pick up on if they are dim-wit... ahem, if they do not know me well yet. Some more facts: although I enjoy playing sports (I once went head-to-head and talked smack with Michael Jordan), one of my biggest hobbies is motorcycling and it is how I primarily get around. I tend to like European bikes -- not loud cruiser bikes.
Each morning I enjoy making two double-lattes with a vintage, lever pull machine. When they come out perfectly I feel that in some small but profound way I am striking a blow against mediocrity. (The latte photo is recent.) Also, I am into music and collect vinyl records. West Coast jazz is my favorite but I will listen to anything that is good.
My "Match": The usual criteria plus the following less usual ones. 1. A woman that knows how to spell and punctuate. Remember Speak and Spell? Did they not sell those here? 2. Because I am tall I am attracted to taller women. 3. On a deeper level, the initial "buzz" should linger indefinitely but I would like to form a bond with a woman where a close companionship endures after the initial fireworks. If your thirst for novelty outweighs your aspiration for long-term commitment -- or if you don't know what that means -- please keep looking. (But thanks for reading to the end!)

Date a soulmate from Marina del Rey, United States. I'm full of life. Very passionate and affectionate. I like to golf and play basketball in my spare time. I loves weekend getaway to Vegas, South Beach, NYC, Santa Barbara, and Napa for wine tasting. I love to dine out and really enjoyed good foods. I have a good sense of humor and are easy to communicate with.
I'm looking for someone who is fun and love to be pampered. She would have a good sense of humor and a great personality.

Meet single man from Marina del Rey, United States. I'm an art director and an entrepreneur, an artist as well as an athlete. Having balance and a passion for the little things in life is very important to me. I don't measure success with dollars and cents. I love to love, laugh, and live. I believe in integrity, romance, heat, communication, being straight forward and having compassion for one another in a relationship. I am very affectionate, goofy and playful so if you are not or you lack a really good sense of humor I'd say we are definitely not for one another. I remain focused and passionate about achieving my goals whether it be to travel the world by sea, eventually become a good husband and father or a successful entrepreneur. I also have passions that currently include standup paddle boarding, sailing, art, food, animals, nature, the ocean, volunteering, and being my own boss. I have dreams of sailing the world, making a family, and being financially sound with a schedule that allows me to enjoy it all with "the one" I love. I'm looking for someone who has my same passion for travel, knowledge, culture, food, art, fun and adventure, an active and healthy lifestyle and who can share in my balance of work and play. I keep an open mind to life appreciating all that it has to offer and would like to share it with someone who does the same.

Date a man from United States. No one can really describe much about themselves in 4000 characters or less. At least I can't.... I am pretty sure that the animated version of me is far more fun to be around than these pictures.
A few things about me.....
I like my bed made, smelling clean and fluffy. It's so much better to get in it when it's made... I love spontaneity, most of the time, as long as it was my idea. Sometimes I don't shave for 3 or 4 days just because I don't like to clean the sink afterwards. Balance, balance, balance is my motto.... I love the arts, early mornings, and lazy Sundays. I can eat raw cuisine for a month, do yoga, and a juice fast, or have a vodka and soda with a joint.. I can do dinner and a movie, or cocktails and a club. The latter very, very rarely.. I equally enjoy staying home on the sofa... I can over eat food that's bad for me or run a half marathon for fun...Like I said, balance, balance, balance..

Date someone special from United States. I’ve recently got back on Match after a year-plus hiatus and I just updated my profile. I wanted to just list things about me and what I'm looking for. I’m on this site because I genuinely want to meet someone, the right person, to get to know better and hopefully end up in a meaningful relationship. If you are not at that point in your life then we are probably not the best match.
About me:
-I’m 36 but don’t think I look it and don’t feel like it
-I’m not perfect nor am I looking for someone who is
-I swear sometimes
-I'm not very religious. I'm not against it if you are. I would get married in a church
-I love kids and kids love me. My niece and nephew are the cutest ever
-I like going to movies and watching DVDs at home
-I don't like talking during my favorite TV shows as I don't want to miss anything:). I will pause it or wait until there are commercials to talk. True story
-I tend to stay up late and I love to sleep. I'm not a morning person
-I don't do drugs but I've tried a few
-I'm close to my family and like to visit them and spend time w/ them, even on Sat nights
-I like to go running and do things outdoors. I'm not at the gym 24/7 but being healthy is important
-I want to be holding hands w/ my wife in 30 years
-I want to feel those butterflies when we kiss. If there is no spark at the beginning then it probably won't work
-I tear up at the exact same point in the movie �Rudy’
-I believe in being independent from each other but I want to have mutual friends where we can all hang out
-I love sports. I don't need someone to be a huge sports fan but I want someone who is willing to come to a game w/ me
-I'm comfortable talking about any situation
-I treat the people close to me very, very well. The person I'm in a relationship w/ will always feel special and important
-When in a committed relationship sex and intimacy are extremely important. I'm an affectionate person and love being intimate w/ my committed partner
-I’m romantic and I’m an old fashioned type of guy. Chivalry is not dead
-I love to laugh and I think I’m pretty funny

-I love going to concerts or anything live
-I love to travel and take vacations and I think there is a difference between the two
-I like to visit new places and do new things

-I can laugh/smile at very inopportune times
-I don't care how old you are just be ready to get into a relationship if you find the right person
-I want someone who is willing to help me become a better person as I would want to do the same for her
-Regardless of whether or not you are close to your family, if we are in a relationship I expect you to want to get to know mine
-I like girls who can get all dressed up but also can just stay in wearing sweat pants and a t-shirt
We are probably not a good match if:
-You are uptight and can't let loose, goof around and laugh at yourself
-You don't want to have kids
-You don't like TV or movies. I'm not glued to the TV but I enjoy that quiet time w/ someone
-You are someone who is ignorant and someone who backs up what they believe in w/ �just because’
-You are not someone who takes care of yourself
-You are not a considerate person
-You don't like an affectionate guy
-You regularly use drugs
I’m very picky about who I’m going to spend my time with. I’m not going to settle…not with a relationship and not with anything in life. I want to be that couple that everyone else wishes to be - the couple who can talk about anything, is always laughing, is always going places.

Meet a woman from United States. Hello,
I am looking for an adventurist who loves spending time with good friends, family and food (and on that note, a good Malbec.)
I spend my Saturdays with my friends, running around the West Side and volunteering with kids. Thank goodness I don't spend much time trying to come up with fun and witty things to say on match.com, or I don't think I'd ever see the light of day.
My ideal person would be up for anything- whether it's watching movies on the sofa or staying out late pretending to enjoy the Milli Vanilli* songs I'm singing from the top of my lungs on our way home from a night out with friends.
Mornings would be a great time for a leisurely jog or if we're feeling lazy a walk to the coffee place around the corner.
* Feel free to insert any bad 80's or 90's group

Date someone special from California, United States. Mario Benedetti wrote a Beautiful poem called:
"TACTIC AND STRATEGY"
In It, all we need for dancing together as man and woman. If you were happy with just your Dog, Cat, Hiking buddies, Sports Cars, your Kids...YOU WOULD NOT BE HERE!!! we all NEED this irreplaceable human connection on a deep level, one that can't be found anywhere other then face to face, body to body soul to soul.
Thus I do NOT believe in prolog chats, or phone calls, they have proven to be a huge waist of time.
I know for sure that it has to do with what we call chemestry, it's even more mysterious then that.
It's a bunch of little things, that make a bigger thing, and you know it, you feel it, when you see it.
I am sorry to sound critical but if you write:
" I work hard and Play hard" or describe in details your sports activity's, you are probably not the man with the depth I'm looking for, and I won't be for your either. A profile should give me a window into YOU, not your hiking and surfing skills....
I am told I am so much prettier or (hot) in person, truthfully I like that, NOT hiding a big butt, or bad body! quite amazing actually...
a Nice surprise will await you. Rather then the other way around.
In this town beauty is a dime a dozen! The Best looking women from all over the world are here. I'm not selling that, my looks is the icing on the cake! What I have to offer spiritually, mentally, and as a lover partner, Is rare! and Only a rare few will be able to treasure it. I don't usually contact guys! I feel it has to come from you, I will respond if i like what i see and read.
( and it may take me a while)
I am usually very attracted to a manly man, strong, smart, HUMBLE, with no EGO! with faith in GOD, A man who has a deep understanding what it means to have a word of honor, integrity, and relationship with his own spiritual self. A man who is aware and awake. The beauty of the human spirit, is that we learn and evolve. I made my share of mistakes, and i know I am better then ever today! because of my experience. I am the most unique, funny, sexy, goofy, very smart, very creative and passionate woman you probably will ever meet. That makes me NOT for everyone. ( Pyramid is wide on the bottom, narrow on the top) thus less matches on the top, both ways...
I love my dad, my fun international family. I have an amazing son, I LOVE kids. I love to cook, I love to garden, I love to look good but in a natural way, I get ready super fast! I love to entertain at my home. I'm not out and about in the bar/ restaurant scene. Don't need to be at trendy places to be seen, ( been there done that!) rather be with my lover/ partner at a more intimate setting! Loyalty, honesty, having each other back is the number one! I was married to a player...I have the sixth sense for that. I learned a lot WHEN I became a mom and a wife, I'm very grateful to that. Each day I conduct myself with compassion and joy towards others, in the end of the day people are people and We all struggle with something,
This is a GREAT country, even with all it's challenges! I don't tolerate bad language towards the president, what ever your political view is, respect to the office and a careful use of words are very important to me. Fire fighters, men of service, are very appealing to me... A true gentleman, will know who I am. Age is truly just a number, younger- or older- it's about your Essence not your age.
(I know this is a dating site, however( if you are a real creative director or producer- I am an excellent screenwriter with stories that would give you chills, I am at mystery with where my imagination come from- I have screenplays that became films, but I HATE the schmoozing, kissing ass, and frankly speaking love to be in my pajamas Sand just WRITE! so if you meet with writers as part of your job anyway, I would make you breakfast in my beautiful home and show you my pro

Meet men and women from California, United States. Commencing incoherent babble…I’ve been in LA for only a few years, so I’m an East Coast girl at heart. Found that I’m in a constant state of exploring this crazy awesome town!
ME: I have a big heart and am extremely compassionate towards others. ENFJ if you care… Unapologetically, I don’t have much of a poker face, so people usually know what I’m thinking at all times. No games. Being upfront and honest gets you nowhere but further. I’m pretty Zen when it comes to my belief systems and am always striving to be a better human being. I have an amazing group of friends who I would throw myself in front of a train for and they for me. However, this would preferably be after we’ve all had an amazing meal, an awesome Berliner Weisse or fine whiskey =)
IРІР‚в„ўve caught the travel bug. Big time. This year I took an incredible month long trip to Southeast Asia and it was life changing. Going to Europe in the fall, but my next big trip is to India next year. I didnРІР‚в„ўt have much opportunity to travel in my 20s, so IРІР‚в„ўm making up for lost time. Not much room for travel when youРІР‚в„ўre building an ad agency =) But IРІР‚в„ўve since sold the business and now just happy with what I do best for a living. Design. If I didnРІР‚в„ўt have to make money to live I would be painting.
YOU: Equally as awesome and genuinely looking for a serious connection. IРІР‚в„ўm looking for the real deal that will be a lasting partnership. We ALL want this, IРІР‚в„ўm just at a point in my life where I can truly accept and embrace it. Sense of humor is huge. I must be with someone who can make me laugh and vice versa. You are extremely intelligent, genuinely happy with where you're at in your life, confidant, attractive, fit, love to try new things and travel, are honest, know the meaning of the word integrity, emotionally open, appreciate and give on the little things. Oh and love my cooking =)
