Date men from United States / California / North Park, 39 year old

Date a soulmate from North Park, United States. I recently finished my second Masters degree which I am extremely proud of. I work full time and have an amazing life I love. Being done with school now I will have more time to experience new things. I plan on taking up surfing in the next month since it is on my bucket list of things I want to do. I love the outdoors, good conversation with friends over coffee or dinner, and read as much as I possibly can (I think it is important to do so in order to expand our minds and view points on the world). I have a pretty wide variety of interests and if something sounds interesting I am definitely going to give it shot.
Ok so partner wise what am I looking for? Someone who is fun, intelligent, energetic, honest, and can laugh at themselves. One thing I can't stand are fake people. It's unfortunate that so many people forget to value themselves enough to let who they really are through. I think we need to respect ourselves and each other. A partner is just that, a partner, an equal, someone you trust and confide in that you would drop everything for in their time of need and move mountains for just to see them smile...even when you only need to move a piece of sand. Laughing is very important and a sense of humor that understands when it is ok to act like you are 5 and when adult humor is more suited to the situation is good. Definitely must be able to be a but goofy as well.
Most importantly a person should have a passion for life. After all there is only one guarantee and that is no one gets out of this alive so enjoy the moments you have with all that you have.
