Date men from United States / California / Redondo Beach, 40 year old

Date someone special from United States. I am first and foremost a family man; a dedicated father of four fabulous children. I was a wonderful husband for fourteen years, and I one day will make someone else happy for the rest of our lives. I was raised in a home where the boys were gentlemen and the girls were ladies: my sisters never opened doors, and I don’t remember a single time a boy ever hit, pushed, or even grabbed the arm of a girl (even as little children). As adults, these little “niceties” are so ingrained that something feels wrong if a woman I am with opens her own car door. It is not that I make an effort to be a gentleman; my father and my mother ingrained these little habits into my brothers and me from the time we were little children, so that they seem like just the way things are done: the credit goes all to them, and I’m sure to their parents before them.
I am the second-born of a large and loving family. My parents will celebrate their 45th anniversary on the coming Ides of March. Although we are spread out geographically, we have been successful in remaining a close-knit group through the years. I have experienced firsthand the blessings of a family like ours: we support each other when tragedy and heartache befall (like the recent death of my Dad’s brother), and rejoice together when wonderful things happen (like my sister becoming pregnant with my parents’ 36th grandchild); in between these times they just make everything better. In a family of eleven children, 35 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren, there are always plenty of opportunities to come together for emotional support, and it always feels good to know there are lots of people to catch you if you fall, or answer if you call.
I really am a family man. Despite working hard for success in my career, family time is more important to me than extra hours at the office. I think that time together is always more important, and memories are more lasting, than material things. I try to balance my professional life with my personal and family life; I’m sure all of you, especially those of you with kids, know that is not easy to do.
The characteristics that are truly important in a potential spouse are the ones that will still matter thirty years from now. For example, I may want someone to whom staying healthy is important, but it would be shortsighted to have a requirement that they have a love and skill for a particular sport. Let me give you a real-life example. I played tennis for several years, and enjoyed the sport immensely. A couple of years ago, I enrolled in a judo class with my eldest son, thinking it would be good for our relationship to do something together (he asked me to sign up with him). On the second day of class, I injured my right rotator cuff (I am right-handed), and to make a long story short: I no longer play tennis. That is what I mean by shortsighted: especially having a particular physical “wish list” just is not reasonable to expect for the next forty years, and will probably lead to disappointment. Other things that I don’t put on the “requirements” list: whether you like sushi, can or like to cook, like to hike, enjoy museums, what kind of music you prefer, and what your job is. Things I think are reasonable for the list: religious background, morals and values, family background, culture, citizenship, marriage status, age, feelings about children (and potential step-children), whether you have children, relationship with your family, and pets.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Just moving to LA from Minneapolis, I will miss the snow....ha!
Laid-back, easy going type of guy who loves working out, riding motorcycles, and lots of traveling. I try to always have fun and never take things, or myself, too seriously. I am extremely analytical, probably to a fault...Can sometimes be quiet and reserve and other times just the opposite. People say I'm always happy and smiling and I tell them my mom raised a happy child.....I keep that spirit going
Looking for smart (the smarter the better), funny, easing going type who takes good care of herself.
Hard for me to provide a checklist or description for a woman because they are such unique creatures that everything you thought was important can go by the wayside when you meet someone who you click with. Women are a package of traits that either work together or don't....no way to ever really tell in advance

Date single man from United States. So here I am once again on this Match thing. ......
Guess this on line dating thing might not be for me, since no women responed to me ( please feel free to tell me I am that ugly , so I wont wasnt anymore money or time on this site .....LOL ) .... but if you first dont succeed , try again as they say.
First thing I will do is post up some new pictures, since some of them are a little old.
I am not some professional photographer , and to tell you the truth , I look better in person than in pictures.
I am a simple type of guy,relaxed and laid back ,I work a steady job that pays well and still have a level head on my shoulders. I love to laugh and have fun to when at all possible.
Some of my hobbies are surfing , playing guitar, keeping myself in shape at the gym every day ( and no I dont need to look in the mirror 10 times a day ) , playing golf , bowling , hanging out at an incedibly bad dive bar , or get dressed to the 9's .....and go to some fancy club , and party like a rock star if I am in the mood. ]
My favorite thing ( since I am getting older ......is eating a good dinner , nice glass of wine , maybe even a movie , or a good book.
I would like to find an acticve girl thats into sports, surfing , or some type of physical fitness in there lives. I keep myself in shape to look attractive for someone , and I would hope they would want the same.
I can travel when I feel like it. Although , I would prefer warm sandy beaches , over ice cold weather, however I will snowboard like a mad man rocking anything from Damien Marley, TOOL , Audioslave, Bassnecter, and basically any type of music I load in my I-Pad. ( I love music !!!!! )
Please dont let the tattooes fool you. I am just a normal guy , and I dont walk around with a chip on my shoulder , or have some jealous side wanting to control everything you do. ( I just take shitty pictures )
I have been in California for about 2 years, and have ony taken a couple of road trips since I have been here. My job keps me busy at times , but when its time to cut loose ,,,,,,,everyone stand back.....lol....cause its time to have some real fun !
So if you like what you hear , and dont get intimidated by how bad my pictures are , I would love to hear from you. Once you realize what my personality is really like , you will see I am so much different than the way I look.
Please dont be shy , I will write back.....isnt that the way conversations get started , or am I the one that shouod sit here all day and write e-mail. If you think we might have something in common, just ask,,,,!!!! I am easy to talk to.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Kenneth

Date someone special from Redondo Beach, United States. Honest, trusting, respectful, friendly, good looking :), muscular, very athletic, caring, hard working,intelligent, artistic, sensitive, witty... Let's see, what else? Hmmmmm... I moved to LA from Long Island about five years ago. When I lived back East, I made my living as a musician playing in bands and doing studio work. When I moved out here, I decided to get a degree in Computer Science at USC. Now that I have the degree, I realize I don't want to spend most of my life behind a computer so now I am pursing work in the music industry again... (Only this time, behind the scenes!) In my free time I enjoy doing anything athletic (weightlifting/biking/softba ll/baseball/hockey/roller blading/etc.) I much rather be participating in activites and being around people than sitting at home by myself. :( When I'm not out I'm usually at home on my computer or working on my music. Someone fun, attractive, responsible, caring, trusting, respectful, honest. Even though I date with the intention and hope that the person I'm with might be the one, I really don't feel there should be any pressure in the beginning. I think it's more important to establish some sort of friendship first. How can you have feelings other than physical attraction with someone you don't know?
