Date a man from United States. I love to laugh and make others laugh... (no pointing, please). I laugh at the goofiest stuff... ie. Jimmy Fallon's stupid skits... the GOP debates... my customers who take themselves too seriously... (usually not in front of them) I'm very close with my three brothers... guess that comes with having an Italian mom. I'm very proud of my son who's pursuing a carrer in the culinary arts in Santa Rosa. I'm interested in women who love to laugh... dig a goofy sense of humor, love being active and are stable in their careers.
I am very dedicated to running my business and I love hanging out with my brothers.
Meet single man from United States. I'm a man of many passions, interests and life experiences. In this beautiful, wondrous, sometimes hectic and unpredictable world, I'm looking for a very special lady to share "it all" with. Might you be her? In any event, I wish you the very best in your pursuit of love and happiness....
Date someone special from United States. So here I am on Match. To be honest, I'm not sure what will come out of this, but if at worst I make some new friends then it will be worthwhile. If by chance I meet someone very special, than that's just icing on the the cake :).
So who am I? I would describe myself as a very laid back man who is extremely passionate about life and all it has to offer. I wasn't always like this, but when I was 25 I moved overseas and spent almost fifteen years travelling and living all over the world. During my travels I've learned how fortunate I am and that this world is full of amazing and diverse individuals. I've lived in London (two times in fact), Tokyo, Sydney, NYC, and Southern California. I love to travel and to date have visited over 25 countries. My favorite places are Argentina, Uruguay, Greece, and Australia. My bucket list of new places to visit includes South Africa, Turkey and Morocco.
I moved to Monterey about five years ago from Southern California, and I've been told that I have a "So Cal vibe." Not sure how to describe it other than I am very down to earth, centered, love the beach, and you will more often than not find me in flip flops and jeans. I have been successful in my career but my work does not define who I am.. I certainly am one who believes that "I work to live" and "I don't "live to work."
The qualities which are most important to me with regards to myself and my friends are integrity, honesty, and authenticity. I don't go a day without remembering these qualities and they drive my daily decisions and how I treat others. I would describe my personality as laid back and easy going, but I warn you I do have a wicked and dry sense of humor :).
I am extremely passionate about music. You will find with my iPod on at work, around the house, working out, pretty much everywhere. I primarily listen to Alternative, both new (i.e., Cults, Jack White, Mutemath, The Bravery, The Lonely Forest), and old (i.e,. The Smiths, Pixies, Love and Rockets, Bahaus), Alternative Rock (i.e., Breaking Benjamin, Tool, 10 Years, 32 Leaves), and what I would call soulful woman (ie., Florence and The Machines, Lana Del Rey, Mazzy Star). I will attend a concert any chance I get. Unfortunately there aren't many concerts in Monterey, so it is not uncommon for me to go San Francisco, Vegas, or LA to go see a band.
I am a big fan of Comedy and for me the more sarcastic and dry the better. Comedy Central is definitely on my DVR list and although I don't watch a lot of television, I've probably seen every episode / stand-up of South Park, Daniel Tosh, Bill Maher and Margaret Cho. I recenlty saw Bill Maher and Daniel Tosh live.
I am pretty active and workout pretty much everday. When I don't work out I just feel a bit "off-center." As you can guess I am not one who likes to sit around the house all day. I've tried to instill this value with my children who are now all teenagers and our typical vacations include snowboarding in Tahoe or surfing in Southern California.
In my spare time I play poker locally and in Las Vegas. I play in the World Series of Poker every year.
For full disclosure, i am 49 years old and not 45 as my profile shows. I done this purely for search puroposes. I know this will sound like a cliche, but i am very young at heart.
So if I sound like someone you would like to learn more about drop me a line, if not, I hope you find what your looking fo
Meet a soulmate from United States. I am taking a break from match in 2 weeks and won't be able to send or receive emails, so feel free to click the back arrow if it's past 8/5/12. Just need to focus on new school year for a bit.
I think laughter is a daily essential. I enjoy my job, walk on the beach regularly, and I take my time with a good cup of coffee. I like a balance between busy/active and relaxing
You can see the basics - blonde hair, blue eyes, freckles. Plump. Exercise regularly, don't smoke, rarely drink. Love museums and art history, travel, good food, bookstores. I have a house, pets, potted plants, and lots of books.
I have gone kayaking, river rafting, mountain biking, snowshoeing, ice fishing, regular fishing (lake), golfing, camping, and more; I enjoyed them but didn't fall in love and I am open to trying new activities. I love walking and hiking, soaking in culture, architecture, history, people watching from a patio cafe. It's all better when it's shared.
I tend to be independent and sometimes stubborn, I like romance and snuggling, and I like cooking together. I make a great salad and will convert you into a brussel sprout lover.
You have a job and a life plan, a healthy sense of humor, a fondness for animals, and you like the feel of sand or water on your toes. You can travel or stay home, eat out or in, and be happy with either. You are easy going but have standards...you follow through. I don't have a specific look in mind - it's the mind that matters - if we don't hit it off, no amount of good looking can fix that. It's better if you eat healthy; fast food is a turn off. Kids and/or grandkids are great, just don't have my own.
I am looking for a relationship based on honesty, caring, and commitment...an understanding where we want to spend our lives together and build something solid. I am not looking for 'Mr. Right Now" nor am I looking for a bed buddy; sorry for the bluntness, but you need to be warned that I am seeking a relationship and will not answer emails offering services or seeking a smoking friend.
If you like skinny, petite, quiet women, then you should click the back arrow right now. I am plus-sized and curvy and sometimes smart-mouthed (not in a mean way). My job is demanding and I enjoy it, and sometimes I put it first because it has to be that way; I don't bring my job home, but I do work some longish days.
Date a woman from United States. I enjoy traveling and have had many wonderful trips but have so many more to experience. I like to plan things but enjoy the spontaneous as well. For fun I like going out with friends to dinner and a movie. I also enjoy quiet nights at home.
I'm looking for someone with a sense of humor who can make me laugh. Someone who is adventurous and likes to have a good time. A kind soul who appreciates the important people in his life.
