Date men from United States / California / Redwood City, 51 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I enjoy the simple things in life: walking, hiking, the beach, tennis, stargazing with or without a telescope, cooking, a good movie or just relaxing in nature or with friends and family.
Travel is fun, and I've been around the world, but I now prefer local trips with less time getting there and more time enjoying it. Its more important who you are with than where you go.
I'm very communicative and love to talk about almost anything with someone engaging. One on one is more satisfying that large groups.
Working used to be a large part of my identity, but after two daughters and a terminally ill wife, I learned that family was much more important. I've worked at home (running my own engineering business) for the last 14 yeas to be there for them.
I'm looking for somebody and something substantial and real. Kindness and a sense of humor are essential. I'm flexible and open to new ideas and people. In fact, I enjoy meeting people who are different from myself as there is so much to learn in them.
My age is accurate and the photos are recent. I'm looking for someone who can be honest about their age and appearance.

Meet a man from California, United States. I'm an intelligent, athletic, funny, genuine person who values honesty, kindness and good communication. I am very close to my family and friends, and I make an effort to spend time with the people I care about. I’m dependable and compassionate, and I make people feel better about themselves. People tell me I'm outgoing and expressive, but I’m also introspective and thoughtful, and a great listener. I am open minded and liberal, and I love to learn and explore.
I have a great education, but this does not define who I am. I’m ambitious in that I started and run my own company, yet smart enough to structure my job so that I have plenty of free time to relax, enjoy life and take long walks with my dog.
I enjoy a lively discussion on any topic from current events and politics to movies, sports or the best place for unagi or kung pao chicken. I love doing anything outdoors -- tennis, softball, hiking, walking or relaxing at the beach. I speed walked marathons in Anchorage and Honolulu while raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I also like movies, working out, cooking/eating with friends, photography, and doing just about anything with someone special.
I am looking for a special connection, and I can’t tell you exactly what that looks like. But she will come with an ability to communicate well and share some common values with me. I'm looking for an intelligent, open minded, generous woman who loves her work but puts people and relationships first. Like me, she loves to learn and explore -- whether that's traveling to other cultures, reading or watching movies, thinking about the world from different perspectives, or delving deeper into understanding herself. I value women who are comfortable expressing their beliefs, particularly when they differ from my own. I'm seeking someone to laugh with, smile with and love forever. Let's just meet and see what happens.

Date someone special from California, United States. Well let's see; I'm an avid sports fan: baseball, football, and golf are my three favorites. I'm always doing my best to stay active, whether it's a long hike, going to the gym, playing golf, or taking my son's kickboxing class. I have a good sense of humor and it's important to me that my match does also; I believe life is too short to be too serious all the time. I enjoy going out to watch movies, I love a nice place to eat dinner, and to unwind on the weekends I typically hop on my Harley and enjoy a relaxing cruise down Highway 1. You don't necessarily have to enjoy the same activities as me, I only ask you be willing to try something new at least once, as I am always willing to do the same.

Hi, thank you for stopping by. I'm back on Match.com. I met a great woman and worked very hard trying to make it work, but... unfortunately it did not last forever. So I'm back, looking for a special person with whom to share my time. Most importantly, I think I'm a kind good-hearted gentleman. The women I've dated have all said that this is true, I was raised well and open doors for you and walk on the street side of the sidewalk. I'm a romantic. On the outside I'm good looking in the eyes of some, physically fit, and as a bonus I have a good job and I own my own home in a very nice neighborhood in Redwood City west of the Alameda. After work I like to go to the gym to release the day's stress and then go home and cook dinner and prepare for the next day before sitting down and reading, watching TV or a movie from Netflix. I try to see my 84 year old dad twice a week and take him out to dinner. I am very open to Theatre Works and Palo Alto Players.I love sporting events like anything Stanford, the Earthquakes, and the Giants. I sponsor two beautiful children in Michoacan Mexico. I've been on the Board of Directors of two Homeless Shelters. I'm 6 feet tall and weigh 190 pounds. I'd like to meet a woman who on the inside is kind, giving, and affectionate and who on the outside is physically fit and/or takes excellent care of the body she's been given. As a bonus she'll have a job/career she enjoys. I'm looking for someone who is a good person, and who is slender to athletic in body, and has the spark in her eye that ignites the spark in mine. Physical fitness and eating well is very important to me and I'd like a to meet a woman who shares those sentiments, you don't have to be a gym rat or marathoner because I like walking hand in hand and hiking as much as weightlifting or stairclimber. Let's have a cup of coffee, tea, or the liquid of your choice and see if anything is there. Nothing to lose yet everything to gain. If after reading my profile you think we may be a match and are interested in learning more I'd like you to send me an email. Thanks.
How do you describe the charecteristics that ignite that special spark? My ideal match would be a good person, a woman who strives to do the right thing, help those less fortunate than she, and treat others with respect and dignity. My ideal match would be a morning person, a summer person, athletic or fit. She would have her own interests, some to share with me and some that are her's alone and allow the same for me. Ideally I'd meet a woman who likes tandem-cooking(that's two people preparing a meal side by side in the kitchen), KFOG, and kissing. On weekends I love to sit outside in the sun and read so I'd love to meet someone who also enjoys reading, I think it would help me to grow and continue in that area. Someone with whom I could go to the gym or ride bikes or play tennis. Hiking or walking hand in hand is great. Did I mention kissing, kissing compatibility is very important. Communication and honesty are the most important. Physically, I want to meet a woman who takes care of her fitness. It's important to me and I'd like it to be important to her. Let's be honest, we all have physical traits we find attractive in the opposite sex. I like slim and/or athletic and fit. And more bonus points if you like soccer! Those two aren't must-haves, just bonus point opportunities. Thanks for reading all this, I hope to hear from you!

Date a soulmate from United States. Hi, here’s to new beginnings! Like you, I am online to explore new possibilities. And since I spend most of my time in Redwood Shores, I am changing my profile address to that area.
Dining, traveling and living alone have never bothered me. Having a companion would be nicer though, and I do see a LTR in my future - I always have. Undoubtedly, I can be described as independent, unafraid to pave my own path, and domesticated. LOL. In short, I am a young-at-heart person. By the way, the ten-year age range I selected is not absolute.
Dates of my photos: 1) red shirt - Christmas 2010, 2) ocean blue shirt - June 2009 and 3) jacket with red shirt - November 2007.
All the best with your membership. By the way, I do not search profiles which exclude photos. Your self-confidence, after all, is crucial. More tidbits about me follow, and do not hesitate to say hello : )
