Date women from United States / California / Newport Beach, 30 year old

Date a woman from United States. I am looking for someone who is direct and honest that knows what they want out of life and is not afraid to be who they are! I want a passionate teammate with a great smile that knows how to make me laugh and enjoys and appreciates life. Someone who is stable, durable and dependable...kind of like a good American car; someone who can be my tree when I need it, and can help me hop a fence or change a tire without complaining that they got their hands dirty, and won't give me too hard a time when I tell them that the road spikes were the ones going the wrong way! Haha j/k...(never done that for the record). Has their own hobbies/interests and a good relationship with family and friends. A person that is intelligent and quick-witted enough to get MY jokes! ;)
I am a passionate, loving and exceptional woman. I laugh a lot and am very direct and honest. A thoroughbred cook that isn't afraid to geek out and can find pleasure and fun in unexpected places! :) No tattoos (doesn't mean I hate them though! Just not into them on my body), no excessive piercings, no kids and never been married. I'm into making smart choices for myself and know I have a lot to offer! ;) I take great care of myself and love being active, trying new things and I enjoy traveling VERY much; I am also very athletic and will always welcome some good competition. ;)
I am from California originally but spent the second half of my life growing up in Arizona. I have lived in Scottsdale, Tempe and Tucson. I'm proud to say that I'm actually a genuine, nice person with a big heart.
It's becoming more and more important for me to really get to know someone before things start to move too fast. I want to be friends first and if anything develops from that...well, that would be my ideal start to a relationship. I like pirates but I can spot a no-good scallywag a mile away...so if that is you, then go try to plunder someone else's treasure or you will get caught in an arm bar!!!
IMPORTANT: I don't know why but for some reason I get really turned off when I get asked out for coffee...it just screams low effort/low confidence to me and if I've already agreed to meet you; then I can assure you that I like you enough to get to know you better - so please make the effort! I am not interested in being a pen pal or chatting on the phone all day so if you want to meet me then I would recommend asking me to do something fun like batting cages/pool/darts...then with dinner or drinks afterwards if we hit it off or something of that nature.

Meet someone special from United States. A few tidbits about me: I grew up in Colorado, but have been living in Newport Beach for over five years. I spent my summers here in college, but lived in New Zealand for two years before settling here for work. I love skiing and have a pass for Mammoth this year (please snow next season!). I would spend more time in the mountains if I could and like to get away from the city. But living on the coast isn't a hardship either. I try to get out on my stand-up paddleboard and spend a few of my summer weekends racing sailboats.
I travel quite a bit, both for fun and work. I went cruising in Belize in April and am headed to NYC to watch the US Open over Labor Day weekend with my sister. I absolutely appreciate a quiet day at home - movies and reading are usually in order. I've been known to watch sports (mainly football and occasionally hockey).
Some of my favorites...dinner with friends, dancing, curry, a coffee with the newspaper, dogs, yoga, playing tennis, summer concerts, snow storms.
I’m looking for someone who loves to laugh. Is active and takes care of himself. I’m a genuine person and look for the same quality. Honesty. Attentive. Independent. I think chemistry is important – it doesn’t have to be instantaneous, but there is definitely a place for it in a relationship. I’d like to meet someone who would like to take advantage of a good restaurant, get out of the city for a spontaneous adventure or spend a night on the couch with a movie and takeout.
Oh – and one more thing: For those of you who posted a photo of yourself taking a picture in front of the mirror with your shirt off. Don’t bother contacting me. I mean, really?!
