Date someone special from Orcutt, United States. Let's see now...I'm passionate and driven in my goals and the things that interest me. I'm very easy to get along with, always positive, smiling and upbeat. Sports, as in athletics, as in doing something as opposed to watching, are important to me. I travel around the world as a journalist, covering grand prix motorcycle roadracing. That's a sport that demands the best of everyone--the best bike, rider, mechanics, tires and so on. That's one reason GP racing appeals to me. Being the best you can be, never give up on your goals and dreams! I read three newspapers a day so highly intellectual women (like college professors) appeal to me. I'm fun to be with, do lots of interesting things and really enjoy active, athletic women. Women in their 40s are the greatest thing ever! The first two photos of me here are from June 2003 when I was in Barcelona, Spain, working for Associated Press. The background is the post-race interview room at the Gran Premio de Catalunya. The second two photos are from the same race but in June 2004 (I'm in the orange t-shirt). I really value family things. My dad is gone; my mom and I have a great relationship. I had a great childhood because my grandparents were close by. My grandmothers were the best people! Ask me about them-- they were small in stature but giants in my life. Aggie/4H women are pretty cool as they have lots of common sense. And I love little kids and they love me. I love to babysit my friend's kids. I'm kind, considerate and lots of fun to be around. I still maintain contact with my third-grade teacher. I send my mom a letter or card everyday and enjoy writing letters. When home, I run bulldozers or work as a construction forman. I get told all the time I am exactly like my father in my working life, which is a good thing. My dad was the greatest salesman in the history of the California oil industry; though he died in 1993, I still hear stories about him. Women who are active, intelligent and fit--it all goes together. A great smile and outgoing personality completes the package. Self-confident, self-assured women are awesome to be around and I'm am amazed how sexy an intelligent, educated 40-something woman is. A willingness to travel, to try new things helps a lot. Are you a happy person who loves life and has a lot of energy? Dislike the run-of-the-mill, like to meet new people and experience new situations? If you do, I'd sure like to meet you. If you've got kids, that's great. I love to babysit and just love being around children. I've never had my own kids, just one of those things. I'm pretty old-fashioned about that sort of thing, I believe you should be married before having kids. So no wife, thus no kids. I'd love to adopt some kids. Maybe I should have be an elementary school teacher--I've been told all my life I'd be a great teacher for little kids but my life just went in another direction. I live by a school and the sounds of the children on the playground is great to hear. Some of the hotels in Spain that I stay in are near schools and kids are the same the world over--happiest when yelling and playing.
After the photos from 2003 and 2004, the rest are from 2006 in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, for the Gran Premi de Espana, then Gibraltar and finally the U.S. Grand Prix at Laguna Seca in Monterey with AP. Plus a couple of shots from Graceland. I went to Memphis on October 2005 then drove down to Arkansas to see the farm where my dad was born in 1924. On that trip, I stood on the exact spot where my father was born, I stood on that spot on what would have been my dad's 81st birthday.
When home I do construction work between my trips, thus the shot of me and the D6 Cat.
I was born in Taft, Calif., and love to travel. Anywhere, anytime and if it's to some place where they don't speak English, so much the better.
I played volleyball at a very high level for 20 years, including 3 years on college teams.
Meet someone special from Orcutt, United States. I am a fun loving, caring, compassionate guy. I am looking for the same in a Woman.
I own a home (stick-built) and am interested in someone who has a similar life style.
My interests are many; recently I traced my ancestor back to the Revolutionary War. I remodeled a bathroom a couple years ago and am working on the second bath now. John Stewart Daily Show is a favorite along with Prairie Home Companion.
I like to hike, bike, rollerblade, motorcycle, camp, fish.
You should be happy with yourself, happy with life.
Date a soulmate from Orcutt, United States. Pretty straight up type of guy, not really good with flowery prose. Not wealthy but financially secure. Faithfully married for 27 years, divorced for three. I am a pilot and aircraft owner, have spent my entire working career in aviation/aerospace. I take care of myself with diet and exercise. I actually enjoy the good hurt that comes from a hard workout or tough hike. Spending my time with airplanes, sports cars, mountain bikes, etc. it could probably be said that I am a bit an adrenalin junkie. I am also an old fashioned gentleman, open doors, send flowers type of guy. Any woman of the quality I am looking for deserves to be pampered and I look forward to doing that. I am a very tactile person, give great back rubs, leg rubs, foot rubs. I enjoy theater and concerts and have a wide range of taste in music. I have been fortunate enough to have travelled all over the world and continue to do so. Would like to share future travels with someone special.
I am not anyone's knight on a white horse coming to rescue a damsel in distress. Like just about anyone else my age I have had my successes and failures, been battered and damaged. Still I get up every morning and look in the mirror and say "It is fun being me." Would like to find someone to share that fun with.
The physical details. Born in Ohio, grew up in Michigan, went to college in Wisconsin. Military pilot, then engineering pilot for a aircraft manufacturer in Kansas. Married at age 35, two boys now 24 and 26. Started my aviation business in Wichita in 1984, re-located a portion of it here in 1990. Settled in to raise the family. Divorced three years ago.
While I would like to find the last Love of my life it also would be nice to just widen my circle of friends and find one or two women that while there might not be any great romance we enjoy things like the theater and travel together.
Meet a soulmate from Orcutt, United States. Im Jess
My family and school always are first, but I like to give me some time out to really enjoy life and have a little fun.
I was living in Mexico, but I moved here to continue with school. My life has changed since then because its very different the life here and Mexico. I enjoy meeting new people and love to have fun.
Im looking for a man who likes me for how I am and someone I can share new things. ;)
There is not perfect man just perfect moments.
Date a woman from Orcutt, United States. My friends would describe me as reliable, intelligent, funny, talented and motivated. Life is about choices - professionally and personally, and I try to be as calculated as possible, all the while enjoying the spontaneity that life offers. I have found that the way you live your life can indirectly affect others, so we should always try to be good role models - you never know how your one small action can impact someone else. I have had many accomplishments throughout my life and can only hope that my successes, small and large, have motivated someone else to do more with their life.
I am grateful for the many opportunities that have graced me, but the one that has eluded me has been that special man that I can share my life with. Life is definitely a journey. Let's explore! I do not believe any of us is perfect, and do not entertain anyone that feels that way. Confidence and humbleness is attractive, not cockiness or a superiority complex.
Attributes I find necessary in a relationship: communication, honesty, loyalty, attractiveness, humor, gentleness, and empathy.
Comfort is one thing, complacency is another. Being with the right person should be comfortable, easy. I don't want to spend/waste time thinking about what you're doing or feeling, and I would hope you would not have to worry about that either. Having said that, all relationships have speed bumps - easy to get over them with the right one.
OK...let's have some fun!

Date people from California, United States. As I've been reading other profiles, they all seem so "picture perfect." Mine will be short and simple, as I'd rather you get to know me than read about me.
I can be shy until I get to know a person. I like to be outdoors. I love to travel internationally, but would also like to see what the US has to offer. I am spontaneous and adventurous. I am told I have a great laugh but it can be loud too.
I am very close with my parents and sister's family. I'm active and involved with my teenage nephew. I attend all his sporting events. He is my biggest pride and joy!!
Meet people from California, United States. I WANT IT ALL! LOVE, LAUGHTER & A LIFE LIVED TO THE FULLEST!
I was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio, with mid-western values. Since graduating from high school, I have lived in Fort Worth, Texas (5 years) and Denver, Colorado (15 years) and moved to the Central Coast of California in July 2009. In addition, I have traveled all over the world...thanks to my sense of adventure and a thoroughly rewarding, lifelong career in the military.
As described by my closest friends, I am honest, kind, considerate, adventurous, spunky, spontaneous, optimistic, intelligent, compassionate, thoughtful, caring, patient, resourceful, and loyal. Simply put, I am just as comfortable dressed in a formal gown & heels as I am in a pair of sweats & a t-shirt as I am in a pair of combat boots & a flightsuit. I thoroughly love spending time with friends & family, exploring the outdoors (hiking, biking, kayaking, taking long walks on the beach, etc.), traveling around the world, learning about cultures different from my own, going to concerts, movies, & sporting events, and appreciating the little things in life that tend to get overlooked far too often. In essence, life is simply too short and I choose to live it to the fullest and would love to have someone in my life that has the very same intention.
Ultimately, I am seeking a like-minded individual that has a zest for life, has integrity, is kind & considerate, is easy going, has a sense of adventure, enjoys spending time with friends & family, articulates their thoughts and feelings well, has a sense of humor, loves to laugh, and is confident, but not arrogant or rude. Ultimately, I want someone to challenge me, excite me, encourage me, inspire me, laugh with me, and love me unconditionally, which will most definitely be reciprocated in return.
Date someone special from United States. I am a God loving, life loving, fun loving Christian woman. I have a very full and abundant life, but lacking male companionship. It is nice to be free, but sometimes lonely. I am not ready for anything heavy yet. Some one to text or something, but I am WAY too unsure about this whole thing for anything more. I am an old-fashioned lady with old-fashioned values. I still believe in one love through life, true love, someone to grow old with. Though I am very busy at this season of my life, it is more out of necessity than desire. I am at heart a true "keeper of the home" and most content caring for my house, my kids, my pets and my man (though not in that order!) I am tired of liers, cheats and addicts. As Neil Young said, "I keep searching for a heart of gold and I'm getting old." Guess I am looking for my prince in shinning armor to sweep me off my feet & take care of me, protect me and love me.
Meet a soulmate from United States. My kids are setting me up on here for a new match. I would like to find someone to spend time with and get to know - someone who can become a best friend and companion - someone who is loving, respectful, caring, and generous... who will also accept my family and fit in well. Will write more later :)
Date men and women from United States. Though I may not look like the stereotypical 'California girl' I love the California lifestyle. I am keen on the fresh and healthy lifestyle, the laid back lifestyle and the sunshine that graces the days. I've been successful in business and have come to understand that life is about family, loyalty and enjoying the company of those you love.
I think that we choose to be happy or to have fun, partly by who we choose to invite into our lives. Activities of all sorts can be enjoyable with the right company, but until I find that one right guy I'll keep moving in exercise classes, enjoying our beautiful beaches, traveling, snapping photos and attending concerts, plays and movies. Admittedly, though, those things would be that much more fun with someone special.
I'm looking for someone who has that spark..that certain 'something' that makes me feel at once at ease but still excited and full of anticipation. It's difficult to define in words, really, but I'll know him when we can look at each other and speak without saying a word. I believe in romance, in affection and in stolen glances that are ours and ours alone.
My ideal man is communicative, affectionate, humorous and devoted. Silent types may seem mysterious, but I'm more interested in the guy who's strong enough to speak his mind and share his feelings. Living a healthy lifestyle is important to me, and will be to my partner as well. I also like to sometimes splurge and dress up on occasion.
I think that how someone treats others, especially strangers, speaks volumes about their character and integrity. I'm looking for the guy who treats the wait staff at the restaurant as kindly as he does a close friend.
My idea of an ideal relationship is hearing the highlights of each others days, laughing at amusing tidbits but having empathy for the difficult times. Laughing is the best medicine. My close friends think I'm funny.
There's more to talk about, of course, but so much of that is better in person. If you're the type of guy who is proud of your professional success but know that relationships and people are what really matter most, and you'd enjoy the company of a caring, friendly and witty woman, then I hope you'll say hello.
