Date men and women from United States / California / Redondo Beach, 37 year old

Date a soulmate from Redondo Beach, United States. About me, hmmmm....I guess you could say I have been extremely lucky in life. I spent my 20's as a professional athlete and was able to travel the world. In my early thirties I retired and entered the corporate sector. It was quite an adjustment, but I have always been driven to excel at any task that is placed in front of me. I am fortunate to have my own business and now that it is in a good spot I am able to work on getting back into the shape I was in during my competition years (I guess you could say I put on my freshman forty late in life).
I am a bit of an old fashioned romantic. I truly believe love is worth fighting for and should you spark my interest, I will fight for you.
Who I am looking for? A woman who knows her own value. Someone who isn't jealous and is secure with her own body, mind and spirit. I don't care if you are in perfect shape or what you do for a living. If you are happy with yourself and what you do then that is fine with me. I'm not looking for someone to judge, I'm looking for someone to love. Probably the final criteria for me would be valuing experiences over possessions. If you have a passion for exploring new sensations and discovering the world then we are probably a good fit.
So, until we meet.....

Date someone special from Redondo Beach, United States. I dig real conversations with real people, exploring things together...spontaneity, for sure. I'm pretty active when not working but also enjoy chill moments when we can just relax with each other. I know what I'm looking for and it's as much about the quality and character of someone as it is the exterior beauty.

Meet single man from Redondo Beach, United States. I'm very passionate about my career which also happens to be one of my favorite hobbies, however I feel it is important that you don't live to work, but work to live. I'm lucky enough to be employed by a company that does not believe in working their employees to death, thus giving me ample amounts of time off, which is quite strange to me as I'm used to being a workaholic, it is quite nice being able to make plans after work and not have to worry about having to cancel them because of work.
I'm a goofball at heart, I try to find the humor in just about everything. More times than not I snort when I laugh, I used to try and hide it, however now I just embrace it, plus it usually makes others laugh that much more, if you can't laugh at yourself.... I've come to the realization that you can't take life too seriously because in the end all it's going to do is kill you...
I'm not too picky, however there are some things I'm NOT looking for in a woman.
If you use drugs, I'm not interested. (yes this means weed too...)
If all you care to talk about is gossip, drama, and/or the latest celebrity scandal, I'm not interested, I'm looking for an intelligent woman capable of carrying on an adult conversation.
If you are possessive, clingy or controlling, I'm not interested.
I'm independent and self reliant, and require you to be as well.
These last couple may seem shallow, but this is the way I feel...
I love kids, however I'm not looking for a ready made family.
If you are a vegetarian I'm not interested, I don't trust a woman that doesn't eat meat. If animals weren't meant to be eaten they wouldn't be so darn tasty...
So, if you are still reading drop me a line and let's see what happens.

Date men and women from Redondo Beach, United States. Hello!!!
Two people in a relationship should be much better off because they are together than they are individually. I have a lot to offer and for the person who is one in a million - your good life will become an amazing life. For a minute - forget your checklist of what you are looking for in a guy and imagine what your perfect life will be like. A life where you are treated really well every day. . . a life where you get to travel the country and the world. . . a life with security because your partner has a well paying and solid job that he loves. . . a life with laughs and smiles. . . a life with chemistry. . . a life with the kind of husband (and potentially father of our kids) that you can brag about to all of your friends. . . a life - etc. What kind of life do you want? The person I'm with will have an amazing life and if you are the kind of person whose partner will have an amazing life - let's make it happen!!!
So anyways - here is a bit about me. . .
I'm looking for a best friend to spend quality time with because we have a blast hanging out and being with each other. But this is a dating site, and I'm also looking for that spark and attraction too that makes me nervous and excited to see. Let's get to know each other and go on our first date - and see that spark lead to an amazing time together. As you get to know me, you'll see that I have a lot of interest and I hope that my partner does too and even though I want to be with somebody who likes some of my interest, I look forward to be introduced to new interest too where we can enjoy an active life together as much as we can enjoy the perfect evening of doing nothing. I'm a fun, nice and caring person who treats women right.
Travel: I love traveling and even though there are far more places in the world that I want to see than I have seen, I can't wait for the next adventure. I go on a trip of some kind about a dozen times a year. . . My last big trip was to the Philippines but also, I can't wait for my next weekend get away. Life is short - let's experience it!
Outdoors: I spend a lot of time outdoors and a lot of time on the water. Check out dragon boating - I'm in one bout 70 times a year and participate in a number of tournaments each year. White water rafting - one of my favorites and can't wait for Memorial Day weekend and my next trip on the Salmon River. Kayaking never happens enough. In addition to that - camping, hiking, backpacking, campfires, star gazing, volleyball, etc. are also among my favorites.
Work: It's great having a job that I enjoy doing. . . more later.
Food/drinks: Trying out new restaurants is always great and I love most kinds of food. BBQing is one of my favorites and we should have one :) Cooking - I have my specialties: cooking for two is a lot better than cooking for one. Drinks - I'm loving Belgium beer right now. . . wine tasting is great too.
Music/movies/arts/books/games: It is hard to beat a night with live music and almost everything is great. . . movies - I love movie nights. . . arts - not something I do all of the time but a few times a year it is great. I don't read enough but love a great one. Games nights come about one time a year - but it could be a whole lot more because I love a great game with fun people and plenty of laughs.
Friends: I have a lot of great friends, and I'm thankful for each of them!
Volunteer: I spend a good amount of time volunteering for different causes. . . life is great for a lot of reasons and it is good to give back when possible. Volunteering is not required from somebody - but it does say something about a person.
So that is a bit about me. . . there's a whole lot more, and I look forward to pealing back the onion and get to know each other!
In closing - honest and open communication is really important to me - a person doesn't have to be perfect but character counts. Also, smiles are important to me. .

Meet a man from Redondo Beach, United States. I always have had a tough time defining myself. Encapsulation, per my credo means that I have become inflexible and insular. It invokes, the feeling of rigidity and defensiveness.
Au contraire, chaos, some can argue is a defined state, so I may have trapped myself in a circular argument.
Well, getting away from the 'profound' stuff, a bit more about the earthy me, I like to experience the rich and varied colors that life has to offer. Keeping myself healthy both physically and mentally is important to me.
The reason that I am here is to find someone, who can be my companion in experiencing the richness of life. Someone who appreciates the human touch and the warmth that a simple smile can bring.

Date someone special from California, United States. I am a creative type who enjoys movies, music, travel, and a little adventure from time to time. My free time gets spent anywhere between lounging, exercising, reading, writing, trying to get beyond the basics of the piano, going out for some fun (live music, dancing, bowling, etc.), and spending time in good company. By day, I'm a Human Resources professional.
I am interested in a companion who is intelligent, responsible, honest, respectful, considerate, open-minded and somewhat outgoing, with a sense of humor and a sense of purpose. He has an appreciation for music and enjoys going out, but also knows how to relax and have fun at home sometimes. He isn't afraid to learn something new, and he could teach me a thing or two.
Let me know if he might be you.

Meet a woman from California, United States. Living life to the fullest and being happy. Would like a reasonable man with integrity. Someone who is honest, kind and respectful. A man who is humble and responsible yet has a sense of humor when appropriate and can make me laugh.
I am a down to earth and hard working. I'm looking for someone to become friends with first and see where it goes. Slower is better. I am not interested in playing games.

Date men and women from California, United States. So here I am, like everyone else, giving this internet dating a shot.
How can I describe myself? . . I am a down to earth, caring, loyal, a hopeless romantic, a great friend etc. . . . I love to hike, run down at the beach, rock climb (with the right person) and anything I can do to be outside as much as possible. I love to travel and I love riding on the back of a motorcycle. As for what I want- I have been searching for that perfect someone, my other half, and have yet to meet him. I would like to meet someone with similar interests, someone who is goal oriented, funny, someone I can be myself with. If you think we might have something in common, I encourage you to write me.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Yes, my photos are recent. :)
Although I am a city girl at heart, I love nature. Hiking is a fun way to spend the day. A walk around the city streets can be fun too. I enjoy road trips and seeing and exploring new places.
I'm looking to meet a guy who loves trying new restaurants and pubs, who is easy going and open minded. A man who has a great sense of humor and doesn't take himself too seriously would be ideal for me. Although I would not categorize myself as a "Health Nut", health and fitness are priorities in my life and I'm looking to spend time with a man who is fit and fun!
I'd like to meet a man who understands that everyday we have on this Earth is a gift and has a sense of gratitude just for being alive. A compassionate heart and a positive attitude are a big plus. If you are also Creative and or Athletic, then that's another added plus. There is also nothing sexier than a kind and humble man!
I am the mother of an 18 year old son. I had my son when I was 19 years old. (Yes, we are often mistaken for brother and sister!) Although it was challenging to be a young mother, the experience taught me so much about life and love. He will be starting college this Fall.
In case you were curious, I have been separated and divorced from my ex-husband for almost 10 years. It seems like a whole other lifetime ago!
A few more specific tidbits about me:
When I was around 4 years old, I named my first two pets, a couple of goldfish, Trixie and Dixie.
I love long distance running and I am training for a second Marathon.
If I could dine with any author living or dead, it would be Jack Kerouac.
Although I have a background in the Arts, I find Science and Medicine fascinating.
I just can't seem to get rid of my VCR.
Important note: If you do not think that love is the most important thing in life and it is all that matters in the end, then we shouldn't know each other!
Let's have some fun! Dating should be fun and nothing like a job interview!
