Date single man from California, United States. What to write?!#% I won't write what seems to be the standard: I'm looking for my soulmate, best friend, yadda, yadda. I like to think that I am way beyond that type of thing. I'm probably a lot like you, complex and simple. I like to think of myself as "I Survived a Japanese Game Show." I wonder who thinks up the games for the Japanese game shows. I like to watch those shows and MXC and Monty Python and South Park and Family Guy and The Simpsons and The Daily Show and Robin Williams and . . . and I just like to laugh. Comedy is my favorite form of entertainment, comedy of all types. I absolutely adore live theater! I have worked in theater and have great respect for what it takes to get a show on stage. Theater is a passion of mine. I love sports and will watch and try just about everything. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week and like to play golf once a week. Talk about laughing, just watch me play golf. Reading is a great escape which I attempt to do daily. Movies are great entertainment and I enjoy going to all types of movies. I enjoy music of all types, even rap. Community involvement is very important to me, I have been very involved in my local community for many years and plan to do so for many years to come. I have traveled to many places for business and pleasure but I cannot find anything to top where I live now.
About my body art. I have a pierced ear and I no longer wear an earring, since the Fashion Police (my kids) said that earrings are no longer in for men. I have 3 tattoos, one that is visible when I wear shorts and the other two that are hidden and can be viewed by request. I have never seen these hidden tattoos with my own eyes, only in a mirror. I wonder why we put tattoos where we can't view them? Only other people can see them for what they really are.
I love sunsets on the beach, are there any other type? I have seen sunsets at the beach all over the world and I still marvel at each one I see.
What about you? I offer friendship and companionship as a start. A round of golf, coffee, lunch, dinner, a movie, live theater show or a walk or hike?
Is it an adventure or a crisis? Our attitude determines which. I always look at things as an adventure.
PS - Age is just a number, not something we have to live up or down to. We are on this wonderful, unnerving, amazing, mysterious, sweet, confounding, magical, nonsensical, jaw-dropping, beautiful journey of life. Let's see what happens.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I'm an artist, graphic designer, musician, teacher. writer. I believe that there must be a healthy balance between dependence, the need to spend time with another person, and independence, the need to spend time with yourself. Music is important to me, and my tastes are very eclectic -- I lean heavily on the side of jazz and Brazilian, but I also like classical, rock, blues, & R&B. I enjoy day hikes, especially along the northern California coast, photography, and 3 day weekends in Carmel, and Big Sur. I like to read, -- usually 2 or 3 books at a time -- novels, science, religion, poetry. I collect art, and once owned a gallery in Seattle. I like simplicity and minimalist style in design. I work hard, but I also know how to relax and like long weekend mornings in bed with a companion, a double Peet's espresso, a newspaper, soft flannel sheets. Laughter is important, as is good conversation, both of which are a turn on for me. More than anything, I believe that life is to be celebrated and explored. I'm looking for someone to celebrate and explore with. I don't ski, mountain climb, jump out of airplanes, white water raft, or otherwise attempt to conquer Nature. There is something about "being" in Nature that appeals to me more than getting an adrenalin rush from it. I need to see wildflowers, hear birds, walk quietly among deer, and be awed by color, forms, and light. I've remodeled a number of my own fixer-uppers and I like to do landscape and garden design. I have a lot of energy and interests, but they don't really mean that much without someone to share them with (besides my cat and my fish!). I'm looking for someone with class and style, who is intelligent, likes to laugh and can laugh at themselves (and me). I need someone who is independent, but still has lots of human needs and knows how to find that balance. Someone who doesn't think that "love" will save them, but will make the world a better place to be in. Someone who likes, and can talk intelligently about music, and art, who likes jazz, and doesn't think Sinatra is "my parent's music." I''d like to be with someone who enjoys day hikes, in the country and in the city (art galleries, etc,). Someone who likes to make love, read, kiss and cuddle. Most of all, I'm looking for someone who enjoys life from day to day.
Date single man from United States. I am very much a romantic. Ideally, what I am seeking is a person who will be my best friend, lover, and soul mate, much like everyone else here in cyberspace. I would imagine she may have similar interests as I do, or not. It is difficult to describe what she will be like. What she will have is chemistry. When we meet, we will know if there is any chemistry or the potential for chemistry (from my chem classes, I recall that some chemical reactions require a catalyst and will take longer to react). She will have a sense of humor and the ability to laugh at me, at herself, at us, and at our adventures together. Our lives today are serious enough already (Bush, Iraq, Arnold, Mother Nature's revenge, the stock market, etc.), and we do need to be able to laugh. I have been a single parent for a number of years raising two great sons to where they are now, both finishing college and looking for meaningful employment. They are sometimes at home with me. They are at a point in their lives where they do not need me very much, except for some occasional financial support. I am at a point in my life where I would like to find that special person with who to spend the next few decades. I am passionate about life, mentally and emotionally stable, financially secure, honest, open-minded, sincere, very committed and monogamous, as well as being an optimist. A cliche, but true, I've learned from life that it doesn't take very much effort to see the glass half full rather than half empty (and to sip slowly so as to savor every drop), to make life so much more enjoyable. My work gives me a lot of time off, and I would love to spend that time getting to know you. If something in this profile strikes a chord, please write, and we will see where our paths will go from there.

Date a soulmate from United States. I am the type of man who opens doors for my lady. I feel good in a suit and really like seeing a lady "dressed to the nines". I feel as though I am a man's man but I also cook and clean for myself; was raised to be independent and enjoy a lady who has her own goals and dreams. The best type of partnership is made up of two people bringing interesting experiences and ideas to the dinner table. Respect for each other is a primary ingredient for a lasting relationship and trust is a cornerstone of a true partnership. Being single has it's pluses but enjoying the adventure called "life" is a memorrable experience with the right partner.
Meet someone special from United States. I am a caring and an adoring romantic. I am independant, like challenges and very flexible. My life is active and I find time to exercise five times a week and go dancing weekly. I am spiritual and occasionally enjoy some time to myself, mostly for reading and meeting personal and business obligations. I like to maintain the company of good friends and I enjoy traveling throughout the world. I'm passionate in all aspects of my life and I have found adventure in destinations, such as Pamplona, Spain to Run with the Bulls, Southern France to cruise the Canal Du Midi, scuba dive the depths of Grand Cayman, Hawaii and Belize, find great wonder at museums of ancient art, have completed many marathons and have been involved in community service. I love life and appreciate what the world has given to us, which motivates me to give back to the world in many forms.
I appreciate life and all people. Family is a priority and I'm considered to be the "favorite uncle." I am godfather to seven children and I am always available to assist others and family in their personal challenges. Smiles are plentiful in my life as I love a great sense of humor and I am somewhat of a prankster with a mischievous funny side.
I feel I am an old fashion romantic as I love to hold hands, love to express my affection, I get pleasure from writing romantically, I enjoy waking up in the morning to the person of my attention, I find joy in planning special events with the person in my life and making it a priority our mutual needs are met.
Interestingly, I believe we as individuals look for ideals in a partner and eventually accept reasonable compromises as long as appealing characteristics we desire exist. With this idea in mind, I would still like to express my ideals; however, with the same thought of being flexible.
I am interested in a positive and affectionate woman who would be able to share similar outgoing activities. She should be independant, enjoys life, is fit and finds joy in engaging in stimulating conversation, but has a good sense of humor. A person who takes pride in her appearance, is caring, an adventuress and who enjoys dancing. A physically active person who enjoys an energetic lifestyle and is family oriented. A compassionate and passionate woman with deep commitments and is socially aware. A person with whom I would share the rest of my life living in a tropical beach or a warm coastal town.
