Date a man from California, United States. I hate bull... Stupid,round and round you know perhaps...Address it, face it without deception,make it better or maybe not, but never ever let it be the reason to throw away the good stuff which always comes and always will if the value is there....the value of all participants. Other than that, the world can be a nice place.

Meet single man from California, United States. Devoted and loyal. A person of honor. Along with my integrity, these are some of my greatest attributes. These are great, aren't they? Yeah, but they come across dry as all get out.
If this were a resume and I had to list my attributes I might say that I'm compassionate and passionate; caring; intelligent; witty; a deep thinker; dependable; forthright; thorough; knows what the right thing is and isn't afraid to do it; physically and mentally strong; unstoppable.
Still sounds pretty dry. Sounds like the kind of guy you want beside you when you go to battle but not necessarily on a date.
If you've read a few of these profiles then you know how difficult it can be to describe who and what you are and make it sound as interesting as the real you. Likewise, you may also know about "padding the resume" to try to sell you something that isn't real. We all need to use some common sense and our best judgments before reaching out but don't you think that sometimes we need to take a chance now and again?
I'm as real as they come. I'm the kind of guy that a woman can feel good about being with. She'll know from the first moment we meet that I'm with her, I'm beside her and that we're together. She'll feel safe, cared for and pampered. She'll know that I'm listening to every word she's saying and will always treat her as an equal--even while putting her on her pedestal.
For all too long I was "busy" doing things for others whether it was my work or the causes I fought for. I was a workaholic. I was taught early on to give everything of myself to whatever I did but I forgot about the balance between work and life. I gave everything to the projects I worked on whether it might be the construction projects I managed, the civic projects I volunteered for or the labor movement that was a part of me for my entire adult life.
I gave so much to others that I seemed to have nothing left for me. That's all changed now and I'm ready to devote the same attention to friends and partners that I did to everything else in my previous life.
I still have passions but I need to share those passions with others and I need to find someone that will let me share their passions as well.
Won't you take that all important step to broaden your horizons and wouldn’t it be nice if we could learn a little more about each other without the constraints of these ridiculous profile questions?
My passion is photography and giving something back to my community. I like to help other people and I try to teach them to help themselves.
I worry when I read in many of these profiles that a woman is looking for a partner with an ability and willingness to go after the big bucks. Money's nice and it can help surround us with nice things but should it define us? When I read these profiles I try to learn more about who the person is and what's inside them. If they have a great job and they come with a bunch of bucks, that's just icing on the cake but without the cake, all we have is a big bowl of icing and for me that's not very fulfilling. True love doesn't require a full bank account to survive.
I spent most of my adult life working in the Labor movement trying to improve the plight of working men and women. At the same time, I worked in my community to ensure that our environment was preserved. I fought for equal rights for all when it was unfashionable (and unsafe) and continue that fight with equal fervor even today. I work tirelessly on local political issues to make sure our children have the best educational opportunities and that we elect civic leaders who are going to work more for the people than they will for the special interests.
Although it would be nice to have someone to share all of this with, it would also be wonderful to find new adventures to embrace and people to share them with. That's what life's supposed to be about, isn't it?
