Date women from United States / California / Marina del Rey, 34 year old

Date someone special from Marina del Rey, United States. ( I couldnt edit age ) I like to be candid and upfront Im 40) all pics are accurate.
My friends describe me as quick-witted, feminine, playful, loyal, eccentrically mischievous, inquisitive, creative. I write poetry, take dance classes four five times a week, go on re treats, love the human spirit and humanitarian causes! Love evocative reading, hidden cafe's, new scientific discoveries, am up for skydiving and I'm passionate Passionate about Life, my interests are large and varied, love to live, love to make laughter!! I either 'take things on, or they don't register at all."I grew up in a family that traveled, which made life an adventure, and created an infectious hunt and love of travel young. Amsterdam, Belgium, Germany, S Africa, Japan, Brazil, Scotland, Paris, Greek Islands, London, and even local ski slopes. I would say I am also described as an oxymoron carrying an outside persona, perhaps that might throw you off, for a woman who is really reflective and inquisitive. . I am as feminine as much as I possess strength and prowess....In this duality my passion was born.......Being underestimated is a blessing as it's taught me to be both to be true to myself, and patient and compassionate to others fears.............and most acutely in tune with what others might deem frivolous but ultimately, were/are the pivotal, most meaningful moments that shaped the landscape of my being. I too am all to "human", seeking love-safety-shelter from the storm. I love open minds, like open doors, and have a deep respect for wisdom derived not out of empty opinions but of life experiences lived. I love learning, different ways of understanding, different views of other cultures and their perspectives. Anything that provokes thought, awareness are turn on's to me!! Stimulus, whether it be books, writing, travel, art, films, people-conversations are what I crave. Lived in a ski town of SunValley, Idaho so love to skii, as much as I love the ocean, scuba diving, or being deserted on a tropical island is perfect for me..I cherish free time spent pursuing things I love to do........passion and following my bliss..........
Who I'd like to meet: People who are passionate about their lives! Interesting, diverse people, who share common interests. Im drawn to people and Im a people person. In a Man: I am really attracted to well educated men,(true and liberal meaning of the word). Knowledge isn't predicated on necessarily cerebral knowledge, but wisdom and a life lived with some consciousness. who've taken the time to achieve in life. It's not the quotient of the achievement itself, it's the carving of ones character and the transformation that happens when one commits passionately to something one loves. Im drawn to duality, an artists heart and an ambitious drive! I find myself complimented by what they call type A personalities, as I tend to be the more lucid and creative one. I love intelligence, sensuality, people with diverse open minds, ambitious, compassionate and loving. Dimensional, out of box thinker, sexiness starts with the mind! As well as a man who loves adventure, plays sports, tennis, skiing, one who loves to live! I definitely need a man who takes care of his appearance, and isn't afraid to take risks!! Or have an Edge!!!!!!!!

Meet a soulmate from Marina del Rey, United States. ME: “100% California girl, caring, affectionate and fun loving woman, who knows what it takes to make a relationship last. Tired of meeting guys who tell me what they think I want to hear, who have no ambition and who are not ready to take the next step. Sarcasm is a spice of life, so bring it on. Adventurous, loves to travel and find new hole-in-the-wall eateries. Would rather see a movie, enjoy a nice dinner or savor a glass of wine at a wine bar rather than hit the dance floor at the newest club. I am done with school but love to continue to learn. Life is what you make of it and I’m loving the life I have made for myself!
YOU: Gentleman, mature, honest, emotionally and mentally secure; Knows how to treat a woman. Mean what you say and say what you mean. Wants to be part of an “us” yet continues to have a life outside of “us”. Funny, ambitious, warm hearted and supportive.

Date a woman from Marina del Rey, United States. I think my friends would say I'm generous with my kindness, time, and love. I am generally a people pleaser and get a great satisfaction from making people smile. So I guess you could say I am humorous but more on the sarcastic wise cracking side. Pretty confident and outgoing, I can strike a conversation up with just about anyone. I'm a passionate person, definitely a feeler versus thinker.
I love to eat and would enjoy cooking more often. Dinner and drinks out with friends is an ideal night for me. Trying new restaurants beats a night of bar hoping ... but don't get me wrong, I enjoy my cocktails and shenanigans too!
I like being outdoors and attempting to up my exercise game. I work long hours so being a gym freak hasn't been my thing. But I'd take a hike over a treadmill any day.
I enjoy watching sports, growing up with 3 older brothers made it hard to avoid. I did play co-ed soccer for years along with my 3 brothers. I'm hoping this is a better year for my Redskins, been awhile since I've watched an exciting game for us. RG3 :)
Would love to travel more. I went to Bali a few years ago and it was amazing. I find as I get older it's harder to find travel buddies though. I would love a good relaxin beach vacation but am dying to see Europe.
Work is a big deal for me and I am proud of my accomplishments. I love what I do but it does require long hours and little room for last minute plans. I'm very passionate about my job and I work hard at it.
My family is a HUGE part of my life and we are very involved in each others lives. They all live back east, so I travel home a lot. My nephew is MY WORLD, making him laugh is the highlight of my day.
Not sure what I'm looking for in a guy... guess I'm on this site because I haven't found someone that's knocked me off my feet yet. I'm a strong woman and definitely need a guy that can handle me :)

Meet someone special from California, United States. Hi. I'm fun, laid back, enjoy a good drink, LOVE food, and am a hopeless insomniac. I prefer a tall, brilliant gentleman with a good work ethic. Anything specific beyond that I am not too fussy about. I hope to find someone one day that I can completely be myself around. Someone I can feel free to let loose and go wild with or curl up in bed with a book or a movie and have a quiet night in, and who agrees that the cook shouldn't be left to clean the kitchen! I try to not judge others (although I fail sometimes at that) and hope that I meet another who shares that sentiment.
I can't stand drama and prefer uncomplicated romances. If you have a crazy ex wife and kids, we are not a good match. I can be a total nerd sometimes, so if you're looking for someone super cool who has all the answers to life keep browsing other profiles!
Some months I am on Match and then months go by where I forget to take a look. If your message goes unread, it probably deleted itself without me reading it. I know I wanted to respond to a few messages in the past that deleted themselves, so please forgive me for that and if we had opened a dialogue, it's for a reason and feel free to shoot me another mail anytime!

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Disclaimer: If my words don't come together... listen to the melody ... 'cause my love is in there hiding...
Inspiration is my adrenaline...I stumble across it any/every where, sourced by both simple and abstract... subtle and extreme. I'm passionate about expanding my experiences/knowledge, friendships, writing, literature (lean on non-fiction), theatre, cultural events, jazz/blues/funk, laughing/learning/loving, the wisdom and company of kids/elderly, and CREATING.
I'm very driven and truly love working: being productive, creative exchange, and building business ventures/ideas are my primary addictions.
I definitely prefer intimate social settings to large functions, although I can hold my own in the latter.
I enjoy maneuvering through experiences while maintaining a high level of integrity, honesty, and loyalty...but that doesn't mean I don't have a dark side. ;) I'm a mix between lady and tomboy and very comfortable expressing both sides.
I'm looking for someone of solid character and strong ambition... exceptionally passionate, intense, loyal, clear, sincere, balanced... w/ a splash of silly.
He has a job/career that he enjoys or is bold enough to take a leap of faith towards a path that is more desirable for him.
He's of his word... reliable accountable, yet flexible; able to adjust should life fling a knuckle ball from time to time.
A man who knows the of the artist behind the lyrics of my disclaimer, or...
A man savvy enough to google the answer.
A man w/ history but not stuck in it; looking forward to the future but also present in Now.
He can balance banter and silence. A little swagger in his intellect is always a nice touch.
A man willing/ready/open to expand on his journey w/ a life partner (in all senses of the word).
Someone practical, grounded, and rational, yet open to risk, open to exploring the limitless possibilities the universe has to offer us...
(Although simplicity, within the context of spirituality, is always welcome -- if your intro email contains less than a dozen syllables and "drink" is one of them, my response will be delayed indefinitely unless countered by most prolific of profiles. ;-)

Meet a woman from California, United States. Hi,
I'm interested in finding someone who is laid back, smart, outdoorsy and interesting.
I am originally from Connecticut and have lived in LA for seven years, and I have to say, I love the sunshine and all the outdoor activities California has to offer. I live by the ocean in Marina del Rey with my cute one year old dog (puggle) Buster. We enjoy bike riding, running on the beach (when the police aren't around) and causing havoc:) So I am definitely looking for someone who loves dogs and is content with staying in California.
I run my own photography business which allows me to meet interesting people and to be creative. On my free time, I enjoy traveling, speaking other languages, going to dinner, playing golf, tennis, watching movies and being with friends, I'd love to meet someone who is motivated and inspiring and upbeat.
