Date men from United States / California / Palo Alto, 41 year old

Date someone special from United States. I LIKE:
- Airplane noise (my dad was a fighter pilot .... yet, I fear turbulence - and, airplane food)
- Junior Mints
- Monogamous relationships. Herpes scares me.
- Communication: it rocks and should be mandated by law
- A super clean windshield
- The smell of the ocean (the SF Bay doesn't count)
- Sneezing
- Scallops (& everything else in the ocean)
- Sleeping to a sound machine that plays a waterfall
- Bubblegum
- German Shepherds
- Boxer briefs
- Mickey Mouse
- Breakfast
- Intelligence, motivation, and positivity
- Dental Floss
- Steel drums
- Episodes of "COPS"
- Thick socks
- My iPhone
- Big, shiny trucks (I'm like 4)
- The San Diego Chargers
- Smelling new things
- Prison documentaries
- The U.S. Soldier
- Turkey burgers
- Rain
- Riding mowers
- Going to church on Sundays. It cleanses my psyche and soul. Like squeaky clean.
I DO NOT LIKE:
- Public hot-tubs. I don't trust the frothy bubbles on top. I'm sure they're little toxic spheres of bacteria.
- Exercise balls. They remind me of my incoordination.
- Close talkers or coffee breath ... especially close talkers with coffee breath
- Liars: For the love of .... if you are 315 pounds, but use "average" as your descriptor - you are being dishonest. I'm not a jerk - I'm honest.
- If all your photos are self-pics done in restrooms .... especially public. Take this time to ask a friend - even a stranger - to take your picture. Also, wash your camera. It's dirty.
- People that have not grasped the proper use of English grammar (i.e., You are = "you're" and it's "definitely" ... NOT "definately")
- Sharing a toothbrush (so, bring your own)
- Sequins or Lycra. Period.
- Tip jars at self-serve frozen yogurt shops
- Hair gel (or, Gavin Newsom)
- Big and/or furry key-chains
- Politicians ... all of them
- Affliction, FUBU, ENYC, or Ed Hardy clothing
- People who treat wait-staff poorly
- Flutists .... I don't know why
- Celine Dion or, similarly, prostate exams
- Balancing my checkbook
- Male roller-bladers
- The smell of bleach
- The Raiders
- The middle seat
- Gum snappers
- Broccoli
- Golf ... it's a "leisure activity" not a "sport"
- People who incessantly whistle
- Drivers who fail to signal
- Profiles that include the statement "Must Love Dogs" (who doesn't?!) or scenery/pet pics with no one in them. Stick your face in there and make it sexy.
I believe that online dating is a great way of meeting people you would never otherwise encounter. And, I am just as happy to make new friends, as to meet the love of my life. Okay - that was a slight exaggeration. I'd actually love to meet my next last girl. But, please don't be more than moderately crazy.

Meet single man from United States. Originally from Long Island and worked in Mahattan prior to moving to SF, Honolulu, and now Palo Alto. I'm a very outgoing person, intelligent, optimistic on life and see the glass not half full, nor empty, but water to drink and enjoy. Having fun in all aspects of life is very important to me, and frankly quality counts all around -- being spontaneous is a must. I truly feel that I know what I want in life and a relationship.
As for what I'm looking for in a woman, it begins with a great attitude on life, intelligent, cosmopolitan, let's not forget beautiful, romantic and knows when to be sexy and passionate. A woman who likes to have fun, whether it be decked out for a high-end event or hanging out around the house. Being secure, self confident, intelligent, with the ability to laugh together goes far as well as putting effort into all espects of a relationship and life is very important. Oh, chemistry is a must... either you have it as a couple or you don't.
Enough for now... more in person.

Date a soulmate from United States. A global citizen (Indian/French bicultural) I am a very sentimental yet highly-ambitious man, which makes me quite a contradiction. I am extremely loyal to people I like (was born in 1970, the Year of Dog!). I consider myself cerebral and my mind is always seeking answers for complex questions like "how was the universe created?". For past 5 years, I have become increasingly attracted to spiritual practices (Yoga, Buddhist meditation) and healthy lifestyle (Ayurveda). Am seeking a life partner who will help me grow and expand (I will happily return the favor), is willing to take risks and make bets with me (as my life has been full of surprises -- but all for the better!!), and is caring and nurturing. If I were to sum up our potential relationship, it will boil down to a simple equation: "1 1=11" -- i.e. both partners transcend their individuality to magnify each others' potential and in the process they both grow exponentially. I am hoping to find someone who will help me live up to this equation. Life is a co-creation: am looking for that creative soul!

Meet a man from United States. Update: I got auto-renewed for another 6 months so I'll be here on Match for a little while longer.
Are you tired of the dating scene too? I know that I am but it doesn't mean I don't like dating. I'm trying to find the right person but that seems to be harder and harder!
A friend recommended I try Match, so here I am. I've tried a few other dating sites and I am not going to lie, this personal introduction so tough! I have to be witty, charming and unique so that women will take notice! I am all of those, I just need to figure out how to put into words so that it doesn't sound arrogant, conceded or timid.
I think the best way to get to know me is a simple list and then go from there:
- I am Canadian but have be in the Bay Area over 7 years
- I do like hockey and other sports
- I work full-time in the software industry but moon-light on weekends at winery in Sonoma
- I ride motorcycle but respect what it means to be on a motorcycle around cars
- I am reuniting with my workouts ... it's been too long
- I have been lucky to travel to many places but it makes me want to see more
I could go through in all the other common terms like that I am passionate, sincere, dedicated and caring. All of which are true but I'm think you ladies are looking for those qualities by default!
Thanks for stopping by and thanks even more if you made it this far.
Let's chat ...

Meet single man from Palo Alto, United States. Life is short...live it to the fullest....
I am adventurous with an appetite for travelling and trying new things. During the summer you can find me exploring the outdoors and looking for new places to rock climb. In the winter, I tend to renege myself to dining at hole in the wall places or sneaking out from work for a day of skiing.
If you like music, you can rock along with me on the guitar, both real and unreal....go Rock Band
I appreciate spontaneity and wittiness in a person as long as it is not at my expense...heh. Sarcasm is humor, and humor equates to laughs, while laughs comprise of sarcasm. Ok, so I'm no John Keats, but I do enjoy good poetry and literature.
I like to be open to all types of cultural immersion experiences. Hence my taste for musicals, rock concerts, hitting up sports venues from hockey to baseball, and spending hours at a museum.
By the way, if you root for the Dodgers and Raiders....shame on you.
Besides having fun, I believe in responsibility and contribution to life for the society at large. This comes from my undeniable faith in God. Therefore, I spend a considerable amount of time volunteering for non-profit organizations whether it's fund raising for their projects or chillaxing with kids in my neighborhood (as long as they don't toilet paper my house or beat me in games :)
What can I say? Life is short...Let's have fun..
