Date men from United States / California / Newport Beach, 36 year old

Date a man from Newport Beach, United States. Help! I am consumed by my career and would like to find a special woman with whom I can tip the scales towards more of a recreational life. Sure, I love my job and appreciate its challenges and opportunities, but there is also a time and a place for fun. I strive for that balance. Should my life ever flash before my eyes one day, I want to make sure it’s worth watching!
Despite my tenacity in the professional arena, I am, for the most part, a laid-back and easy-going guy. I enjoy making others feel right at home when they are with me.
I am enthusiastic about life and have an insatiable sense of adventure, whether half-way around the world or just around the corner. I have been fortunate to have visited many foreign lands in my life and appreciate the opportunities I have had to immerse myself in the local cultures and flavor. However, I am just as eager to experience the wonder of the adventures that await me closer to home. Southern California has lots to offer in this regard, so let’s throw a dart at a local map and see where our first journey will take us!
Passionate about physical fitness and exercise, I lead a fit, active and healthy lifestyle. I earned my black belt in martial arts in 1998 and seven years ago took to the dance floor and learned to salsa dance. That inspired me to open a business teaching salsa, but, alas, that lasted but one year. However, I can still find my way to the dance floor!
As a partner, I am very understanding and supportive. Empathetic and compassionate, I can be your best friend, your confidante and your trusted advisor, offering support and encouragement when needed and giving advice when asked.
You have been warned, too. I tend to be rather attentive to my partner’s needs. It’s all a part of my charm and I am confident you will quickly grow accustomed to it. Of course, I am not immune to the loving reciprocation of such affections, either.
Admittedly, I am drawn to a woman of beauty and good looks. That physical chemistry has to provide the spark to encourage further inquiry. However, I also desire a woman whose intellect, curiosity and love of life allows her to enjoy stimulating and meaningful conversation.
I admire a woman whose inner beauty is her greatest strength. She is one for whom kindness and compassion for others are genuine instincts. She has a giving heart, a loving spirit and an open mind, ready to explore life from all angles and who welcomes new opportunities and experiences.

Meet someone special from Newport Beach, United States. Wow, had I know that my dating prospects were going to depend on how I wrote, I definitely would've paid more attention in Ms. Marks's English class.
I guess I should try and tell you something that's not in the photos. I'm psyched that you've made it passed the photos.
I'm a fairly straight-forward, honest, and upstanding dude.
I like to practice yoga. Some of you are going to gag when you read that and you're probably thinking who the f uses the term "practice yoga", but I think that's the correct way to say it. I like to write properly. The other day I learned the rule for when to use "that" and when to use "which".
I like going to the beach. And I like that the water is salty. And I like getting tan too.
I'd like to meet a sweet girl who makes me laugh, gets along with my friends, gets along with my sisters...
PS - If the section on drinking habits had a never/social drinker hybrid, I would've gone with that.

Date a soulmate from Newport Beach, United States. I am getting ready to move to Orange County, very excited about it. I should be down there starting in August. I am hoping to make some new friends and maybe even a special girl.
I am very active and adventuress, laid back and very easy going. I love sports, especially seasonal sports snowboarding in the winter, surfing, wake boarding and water skiing in the summer, and mountain biking all year. Love the Packers, love the Lakers and for baseball it has to be the Angels but don't fret if these aren't your teams it would be fun to get at each other. I enjoy dining out, going to the movies, holding the one I care about and relaxing in front of a fire, or watching a video. I would love to travel more and really enjoy weekend trips to just about anywhere.
Punk rock is my music of choice but can listen to just about anything, however keep the hip-hop to a minimum. I don't mind putting on a suit but on an average day if it's not warm enough for shorts you will probably find me in "The Original 501's" and a T-shirt.
Looking for someone who shares some of the same interests, or at least be willing to try some new things together. Fun and easy going is a must have.
My daughter is amazing and I cherish every second I have with her. Definitely part of this package! I also have a fantastic easy going family and friends who I love hanging with and I am sure you will too.
I read your profile and looked at your pictures. If you get an email or a wink from me it's because I am interested and hopeful that we might get to know each other. If your not interested than just reply not interested, it's cool, I would rather know than to not get a response back. I feel that it is courteous not rude and I will respect you for it.
Please don't be shy because you are a girl, just like anyone it is exciting to receive an email or wink.

Meet single man from Newport Beach, United States. I'm fun, outgoing, and easy to get along with. I enjoy traveling, cooking, enjoying life, and spontaneity. I work hard and play harder. I'm very independent and don't have time for drama or games.
Sushi is my favorite food and I love trying new things to spark my interest.
I love anything to do with sports or outdoors. I've done everything from racing motorcycles to bungee jumping. I'm always down to relax and watch movies with some wine as well.

Date a man from California, United States. I feel that laughter is therapeutic and I try to laugh as often as possible. I am looking for someone that can enjoy the fun of life and likes to have a good time. I don't mind sitting and watching a movie at night, but during the day, I do my best to be outdoors. I love the beach, traveling, and exploring new areas.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I had the amazing opportunity to travel ever since I was little kid. From the age of 17 to 20, I wandered across the United States, Mexico and Canada. Portland, Mammoth Lake, Steamboat Colorado and the Hawaiian islands rank as my favorite places to go. Out of all my travels, I only have five states left to see and I’m always planning for the next vacation. My dream trip would be a week in Greece with the right person, sailing from island to island until we reach Egypt.
The one I’m looking for has to love traveling as much as I do and be willing to take a last minute getaway with me. Being spontaneous means jumping at the chance to go to game or concert from one of our favorite bands. Our interests should be similar so we have something to talk about and favorite activities to do. Just as my career keeps me busy, this woman should have her ambitions and be driven to fulfill those goals. Often, I find I’m confident and calm in a stressful situation. People say I’m easy to talk to because of how open and honest I am. For me, it's about more than just that initial spark, I want someone I can have a meaningful conversation with.
I'm something of a romantic and she should be able to appreciate my affection. Thoughtful, I’m always looking for ways to show her that I care. Being physically fit myself, I am attracted to women who take pride in their appearances and will get cleaned up for a date. A sense of humor is a must and I like it when she gets my sarcasm. I am compassionate and volunteering to work with the dogs at the local animal shelter is something I’m proud to be a part of. I'm looking to build a strong, open and honest relationship with the right person.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. First off- soon to be, or post menopausal women need NOT apply! so over 35 probably isnt going to happen unless you have some serious game! Sorry if thats harsh but 45 y/o women who are 'curvy' with 4 kids are NOT my soulmate!
Online dating does freak me out, but i think it has great merit and know quite a few friends who have had succesful relationships and even marriages off it. I believe you need to keep your expectations low-lol and just let it flow from that first meeting. Hey, both my grandparents were put together by a matchmaker in Germany and Itally, respectively and lived happily until their passings; so the point is, if you want to make a friend off here, you can! Simply put, i have no problems getting dates, its keeping them thats the problem-lol. I just want someone who is cute, in shape, has a passion for something they do and want to enjoy the journey of life together and not be so consumed with the darn destination; A run, a good meal, scuba diving and snowboarding is a huge plus-or a desire to try!
Ive always considered myself to be a normal guy, work hard, play hard, with long and short term goals and ambition. I put myself through college and law school; earned two engineering degrees, a "walk-on" to the football team in college, earned a scholarship and then signed as a free agent to a pro contract. After moving to Cali from NY, then law school after working for a couple years. I am passionate about everything, analytical, stable, consistent, diverse, and always looking to improve myself. I find enjoyment in all things; the Opera, ballet, plays and concerts, sporting events, diamond club Angels season tix, I love football; HS, USC games. I can party like a rock star one night and tear up at Borcelli the next. I'm comfortable on a friday or saturday night sitting home petting my pooch and watching some bad movies-lol. I love the sun, ocean, working out; scuba diving and snowboading are my two favorites (the Swiss and Italian Alps -awesome there!I have tons of energy, and need to spend it. I love the weekend trip; river, Vegas, Mammoth, New York, Chicago, Park City and of course South Beach Miami! I scuba dive and love to hit tropical exotic places. In a crowd I am described as a quite observer, or cruiser with intent. I treat the bus boy with the same respect I treat the restaurant owner (although I hate bad service). I am loyal to a fault. I am not a jealous person. I believe in accepting others as they are and NOT try to change them. I'm a good communicator, so you need to as well, hey I am NOT mindreader! To be fair, id like declare and disclose some of my faults, (of course, you must consider the source-lol); I do enjoy my routines, and that can appear selfish, I am a little shy initially, and have been told I can be too blunt, sorry! I am a very happy person and life is short, so spare me your drama! I am from NY City and a great family. Finally, the woman that I open up to, and truly "let in" will be the most cherished person on the planet and I will give to her all I can, unconditionally! Ciao, It all starts with a physical attraction, after that its all about CHEMISTRY, companionship, friendship and compatabitlity.
Once that spark is struck, then what do we have in common, so we can be friends tearing up the world?! In terms of intimacy; Can you ask me to please you, the way you please me? Communication! Education is important, world events; kind of nice if you know what is going on in the world. Its important to me now after 9-11, as I lost two classmates in the towers. It is so attractive when a woman can carry herself in any setting and knows whats going on.Are you passionate about something, hopefully different than mine. Do you work out? If physical fitness is part of your life or do you want it to be? If you are sexy, fun, or like to work out, run and want to have fun, and see where it goes, lets get a bite to eat
