Date men and women from United States / California / Pleasanton - page 4

Date single man from California, United States. Feels weird to try and describe ones self. If I were to state some of my beliefs and values I guess they would go as such. I pride myself in always being honest. One of the biggest cliches I hear, but it rings true here as well, is I treat people the way I expect to be treated, with true compassion for any situation I find myself in. I have often felt that on some level we are all connected, meaning that if you are inexcusably rude to someone, you are in a sense betraying yourself and your higher purpose. You can tell much of a person in how they interact with others in the service industries. It is easy to see if people are truly respectful, or on the contrary, think they are above a certain person. I would consider myself to be very down to earth, very easy to get along with, with a non-confrontational attitude. I respect everyone, unless of course their actions dictate differently. I prefer calm discussions versus drama, no yelling or headaches. I would like to meet someone who strives to forever see the positive moments in life, or at least not fall into a downward spiral if somethings doesn't work out as planned. There is always something bigger than us happening at every moment. You need to be able to roll with what ever life brings and just appreciate being alive. As far as hobbies and such, I love being outdoors as much as possible. Whether hiking, camping, being at the beach or mountains ( my fav ), almost anything is better than being indoors. Of course cozy nights at home are great as well and I do appreciate them. I go to the gym 3-5 times a week and believe in tryin to be as healthy as possible (try). I'm not much into going out to clubs, bars are cool from time to time as long as you have some cool people to kick it with, I'm not much for trying to meet people at the bars since most people aren't really themselves after drinking. Id rather go to a place with games to play, or bowling, billiards and such. I am a very family and friends oriented person, and prefer quality over quantity. My co pilot is Haydon, an Austrailian Cattle Dog, he rolls with me pretty much everywhere and is quite a character as most dogs are.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Hello, Im a down to earth person looking for the same. Some one who enjoys the outdoors and adventure. Some one who is spontaneous...I enjoy exploring new and exciting things.If you are someone who likes to explore and have fun than write back. Maybe we can chat or talk sometime!!

Date people from California, United States. First of all, you should know right up front that you have stumbled across the biggest catch on Match... and we'll get to WHY that is in a minute.... but I want to be up front first. Before we get to all of the good stuff, before you get all excited… amazingly, I DO have faults. To wit:
1) I do play golf and watch football, despite the fact that, to women, this is tantamount to wearing the same dress to the company Christmas party two years in a row.
2) I use words like “tantamount” in a personal ad.
3) I voted for Ross Perot twice during the 90s. This cannot be held against me though -- they were both protest votes.
4) I have never climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, don't own a motorcycle, don't bike 20 miles a day in my Lance Armstrong racing suit, don't have shirtless pictures of my Saratoga-born-and-raised self flashing gang signs like I grew up in Compton, don't wear Affliction t-shirts and don't have a tattoo on my chest of some random woman wrapped in barbed wire sitting on Chinese symbols that translate into "Chosen One.”
5) I live in Pleasanton. Some of you – especially those of you in San Francisco – seem to believe that Pleasanton borders Kentucky, Bangladesh and Siberia. I answer this by saying (a) not quite, (b) amazingly, you only have to cross ONE bridge from SF on a 35-minute drive to get here, (c) I’m certainly worth the small distance, and (d) I’m out your way all the time – I’ll come to you. ;-) (San Jose and Sac people: this includes you as well).
6) I overuse ellipses and colon-dash-parenthesis smiley faces in emails. I’m currently undergoing punctuation shock therapy to break this horribly-addicting habit. One day at a time.
****Now, the catch-worthy good stuff:
1) I have a dog. I know women think this is cute, so I thought I would mention it first.
2) I scored in the 95th percentile on Nordstrom’s “Male Mall Tolerance Test", proving my willingness to wander aimlessly around a mall while my female companion goes on a five-hour search for the perfect pair of pumps... and buys nothing.
3) I definitely can cook. I don’t know the difference between a basil leaf and a leafblower, but I certainly know enough to be dangerous.
4) I have killed scores of harmless spiders and insects to "protect" others in the past. Have a fear of ants? I keep my pimp hand strong with insects.
5) ....and maybe most importantly, I will never, ever make a woman sit through a movie where the characters just blow things up all the time or break out in random displays of mixed martial arts. I will not make MYSELF sit through that movie either. ;-)
6) I’m a grass-mowing, trash-hauling, weed-pulling, beach-going, wine-tasting jack of all trades.
Note on my photos: Friends, family, the local vet, American Legion post 472 and a girl riding by on a unicycle all agree that if you like my photos, you'll be more pleased in person. Take that for whatever it's worth. ;-)
Friends and family would describe me as a very confident (but not cocky) genuinely kind, fun-loving and compassionate, intelligent, succcessful, extremely athletic, very giving and engaging. (And for you hockey fans, I'm a Sharks season ticket holder).
So what am I looking for? Someone who is happy, agreeable, emotionally available and is not afraid to give their heart away. Someone who loves to laugh and smiles a lot. Everyone has a little emotional baggage from old relationships, but please don't show up with four suitcases worth. A love for sports is a plus, but definitely isn’t necessary. All in all, I’m most interested in who you are, what you enjoy and what you’re passionate about. Women who are genuine, sincere and have a strong passion for life score major points. Women who are aloof, self-centered, drama queens or Raider fans will not. (Just kidding Raider fans... kind of...) ;-)

I value family and friends and will go out of my way to help those close to me.
My ideal date would be having a nice dinner and walking around a downtown area and perhaps having coffee, looking at the night sky and stars and getting to know each other.
I am very passionate about basketball and love to work out and stay fit to allow me to play at a high level and I will not go gracefully into the night - I've had several knee surgeries and the dreaded ACL that I've been very focused to recover from the past 2 years and really relishing the ability to recently play ball again. The hard work to play again was totally worth it.
I'd love to meet a woman that likes sports and maybe going to a basketball game or a baseball game once in a while. If you like to work out, I'm always up for a joint workout and I've gotten to like Spinning since it really helps me with my cardio to play basketball and helped with the recover for several knee surgeries.

In order for a relationship to work both individuals have to be willing to work at it. If only one person is working and the other one is not contributing then the relationship is doomed for failure. All relationships are give and take with each person having to learn how to try other things that they are not used to.
