Date men and women from California, United States. "Never judge a book by its cover." Definitely a quote you should be using on me! I get told all the time that i'm a completely different person from what would be anticipated by simply looking at me. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the fact that I like to shave my head and grow out my facial hair which apparently gives off the vibe that i'm a "meathead," mean person, the serious/angry type, or just plain dumb! haha... The amusing part is that i'm actually the 180 degree opposite! I'm a laidback, down to earth, goofball with a sarcastic sense of humor. But don't worry, I can take other's sarcasm just as well as I can dish it out. I make fun of myself all the time! I love to joke around, laugh, be silly, and basically let the inner child out of me. Oh yea, and I should warn you that i'm a big nerd too! If you don't belive me, read on, I'll prove it to you... I teach Chemistry classes for a living. I just started my masters program in Biochemistry. My DVD collection (it's really small so it's not much of a "collection" I should probably just say "the few DVDs that I own" haha) consists of more documentaries about the Universe than it does actual movies! Racquet sports are the only sports i'm good at. I played tennis on my high school team and I love playing racquet ball at the gym (YES i'm also good at ping-pong, NO I don't wear those small tight white shorts that professional tennis players on TV wear haha). Still don't belive i'm a nerd?! Well, I own a DIsneyland pass, I renew it every year, and i'm not afraid to admit it! haha... Ok this is as far as i'm willing to take this for now. If I still look like a total "meathead" to you then I guess you'll just have to shoot me an email to find out more ;)
I know i've probably lost half of my reading audience by now, but that's fine with me because if you're still reading this then I know you're probably down to earth, non-judgemental, laidback, and/or possibly even have a tiny nerd side yourself that you're hiding from the world haha (all qualities that I like by the way!). So let me tell you some other things about me; the "cool" side... I'm really into fitness & health. I go to the gym almost every day and keep my diet relatively healthy. But don't get me wrong, i'm NOT a model, actor (geez I almost wrote actress haha), personal trainer, bodybuilder, or professional athlete so i'm definitely not obsessed about this! I love food and I won't hesitate to go out and try new dishes. I'm also known for having bad self control and indulging in sweets if you bring them too close. So if you happen to like making baked goods then you're looking at your #1 fan! I also enjoy doing activities outside of the gym like walking/biking/jogging down to the beach and maybe throwing a football/frisbee/volleyball around. So hopefully you like doing those kinds of things because I own two bikes and one of them has your name on it, let's go! (you get the cheaper bike of course haha jk)
I'm a HUGE sports fan! Whether it's personally playing, watching on TV, or going to a game, i'm in! I follow basketball, football, and baseball closely. But I'm not only into my teams, i'll watch any games. You should know, however, that if our teams happen to be playing each other then i'm ignoring all your calls that day! haha jk
I'm also into the whole culture of learning and education. Not only because it's my job and i'm still in school myself, but because I truly do enjoy expanding my brain. There's so much out there to learn and discover and I definitely want a piece of the action! So you'll constantly find me on goggle or wikipedia reading about things that i'm curious about.
I'll stop here because if I keep writing we'll have NOTHING to talk about later!
Qualities I like in a girl? Smart/educated, pretty smile, down to earth, healthy lifestyle, family oriented, genuinely sweet, sense of humor, & likes sports (no particular order)
If you think we would click then email or wink at me! Thanks :)

Date people from Newport Beach, United States. I truly feel I have the greatest family and friends anyone could ask for! I just moved to SoCal about 6 months from a job promotion in Michigan. I love to challenge myself everyday whether its for work, working out, or just to see how far I can push myself. I enjoy many different activities; such as basketball, taekwondo, lifting, running, or yoga. I feel its very important to surround yourself with great people, and its the simple things in life that are important.
I'm very passionate about my job and can truly say I'm lucky to have landed my dream job. I work in the medical device industry for one of the top 2 medical companies in the world. I sell trauma implants and total hip/knee replacements to orthopedic surgeons. I recently got promoted and just moved to SoCal from Michigan. At heart I'll always be a small town Michigan boy. California is something I've wanted to do for a long time, and I finally found the right opportunity to come out here! I thought this would be a great way to meet people!
Meet a man from California, United States. This crazy little thing called life...who knows where we will end up, but I am giving this site a shot because I have heard good things from friends in the past... although, its always a secret to be on here.. shhhh dont tell!
As for me, I am a driven and proactive person in all aspects life. I have worked for everything I have and I am grateful for my family and the people who care about me. I enjoy getting out to exercise or people watching in the local areas while sharing good times with great people. I am hoping to meet someone who views life in the same way and is looking to give the nice guy a chance. I truly enjoy making people laugh and smile, and find the two to be contagious. I enjoy all music from oldies to new and I tend to sing when I am happy (don't say I didn't warn you). There is nothing better then great food, different cultures, and trying new experiences. I was raised on Long Island, NY and was either boating in the summer, skiing in the winter, or playing sports inbetween. I played college football and I was fortunate to use my athletics to get a great college education.
I am looking for a woman that brings intellect, wit, and humor to a relationship. A woman that is confident in her own skin and sees life from the brighter side. It is important to feel beautiful both inside and out. Someone that is an individual and has her own goals and interests in life. I feel a real woman cares about her health and body, and the health of the people she loves. I have a mature perspective on relationships and tend to be attracted to either women older then I, or confident younger women that act mature. If you can keep a witty conversation and are able to give and take a joke, then look no further. All the best in all you do, and please say hello.
Date a soulmate from California, United States. Where to start, I have been described by friends as intense because I put all my energy and thought into whatever I am doing. The true saying that defines me is "work hard, play hard" and I take pride in my action and results.
In college I studied Mechanical Engineering with an emphasis in thermal system design while minoring in Mathematics. I don't use my degree as an actual engineer but going through the process made me a very analytical person. The ability to step back on any situation and look at it from all angles is extremely useful in all aspects of life and I have engineering to thank for it.
I am part owner in a family company started by my father in 1998. He passed away in August of 2002 and my sister and I have taken up the reins since then. There are many aspects of being a business owner I love, however it is definitely more stressful than your average job. I love knowing that the decisions we make directly correlate to the success or failure of the company. It's really fun to watch your ideas turn into actual tangible things and the opportunity to do so at such a young age has been a blessing. My father was an amazing parent and husband and I am lucky to have such a model to try and match up to. Hopefully I can use the opportunities he gave me to provide my family with everything I hope to be able to give.
I LOVE to travel. I have two favorite spots and plan on adding many more to the list. First would be Singapore, think Manhattan NY hustle and bustle mixed with the cleanliness and beauty of Newport Coast. All the shopping, dining and entertainment anyone could ever want. The other is Mallorca Spain, it is a short 45 minute flight from Ibiza and is stunning and peaceful. Finding a private cove somewhere to spend the day in crystal clear calm water is amazing. My next must go spot is Bali or Bora Bora, however I definitely need a "significant other" to make that trip. Any takers?
While I still enjoy the bar/club scene I am starting to get past that phase of my life. Now days I would much rather have a table at some nice lounge and enjoy drinks, friends and good food. I hate to admit but I definitely like the "finer" things in life. There is nothing more fun to me than showing off my girl while on the town in a beautiful evening dress. Don't get me wrong though, I still love to go to Goat Hill tavern from time to time and spit peanuts on the floor!
Being physically fit is very important to me, I lift weights 3 times a week and train at an MMA gym 2-3 times a week as well. I love the competitiveness and aggression it provides. Can you think of a better coping method for having a crappy client meeting than to punch or kick someone as hard as you can?
As for my dream girl...
I am VERY picky and have never had a "type" however I am much more attracted to petite women. She should be fit and care about her appearance. I believe you owe it to each other to stay in shape to be as attracted to each other at age 60 as that of day 1.
Intelligence is huge to me as well, I cant imagine being with someone without respecting their mind. She should be able to challenge me to become a better person and all ideas should be OUR ideas, not just mine. I want a team mate, us against the world type of thing, that is looking to build a life with me and not just with me beside her. I hate that many relationships now days seem to be of convenience, if I am not head over heels in love I would rather stay single.
I am a very confident guy and the woman I want to be with should be very confident as well and not afraid to show it in public. I do however want her to look to me to be her "rock" and not be afraid to be girly or vulnerable in front of me. I tend to be a big cuddler and I want her to look to me for comfort.
I don't tend to meet very many woman I would actually want to date and I don't have many single friends left so I thought I'd give Match.com a try, here goes!
Meet someone special from California, United States. I reckon that's a hard one...
Someone that:
Has the same life values,
Is my best friend,
Can talk through things.
And also I guess these are related to the above though...
Someone that:
Is easy to talk to and communicate with (even though I'm not really much of a talker!),
Just gets me,
Supports my individual interests,
A little bit crazy from time to time...
I'm sure you subconsciously we know who you would like to be with but it's hard to think about it, and also not so good to put too many restraints on the whole thing. The top three would be the most important to me as a foundation and hopefully things would grow from there.
And of course I'd give them all the things in return.
But hey, I haven't found the right girl yet anyway!
Date men and women from United States. I like to challenge myself and set goals. I also really enjoy relaxing and trying not to worry about the daily grind.
I have been in the fashion industry for 10 years. I love that it allows me to be artistic which has been a love of mine my whole life. Whether it is painting, sketching, or designing for a purpose.
I love to travel, enjoy experiences, and like sharing these things with someone else. I feel that I have grown as a person every time that I have travelled and enjoy learning about other cultures. My favorite places to travel to have been Thailand, Aruba, Sweden, and Japan. I love to travel but I also like to come home to my friends and family.
I love to be outdoors but I also enjoy going out with friends for a night out. My favorite things to do are surf, hike, play any sport, bungee jump or anything that pushes limits. I recently went sky diving and am going to finish my certification soon.
I am extremely open minded regarding other peoples interests and beliefs and I am open to
trying anything that my friends or other people believe in or enjoy doing. I am also the type of person that will try something that other people usually don't. This usually involves some sort of exotic food.
Most of the time I am very outgoing but every once in a while my shy side comes out. I also love to joke around and have a sense of humor. I can also have a sarcastic side but not at other peoples expense.
I played a professional extreme sport for 8 years and it was definitely an experience that I will never forget.
Last but not least I am a huge foodie. I have yet to find a cuisine that I don't like and if I had to pick my favorite it would probably be Japanese food/Sushi. Although I love discovering or trying new restaurants.

I have dated multiple girls and am not ever finding the ones who treat me with the respect that i deserve. Being single for over six months is fun and different but the girls i meet are not what i am looking for so here i am. I am a family guy that has a close relationship with my younger sister and younger brother.
