Date single man from Santa Barbara, United States. My friends describe me like this: hard to get to know, but worth the effort. I’m a big guy and my stature can be a bit imposing. People are often surprised to realize, however, that I’m actually a laid back and soft-spoken person…even a little shy at times. I tend to be a private person and so it takes a little while to get to know me well. Not everyone gets through my door. But if you do you'll find that I'm a smart, funny, sensitive guy with a lot of interests and the energy to pursue them...who loves his family and friends...who takes care of himself mentally, physically and spiritually...who works hard and plays hard...and who understands the finite quality of life.
As the second of three sons born to working class parents on the East Coast, I was raised on simple values like honesty, integrity, hard work and an appreciation of family and community. I believe in the power and grace of the individual, not the apathy of the social collective. I believe in personal responsibility. I believe in paying your dues and paying your debts, not in expecting handouts and taking bailouts. But I also believe in doing what you can to help those less fortunate than you in your community through charity and volunteer work.
I'm a software developer by trade, which is a profession I chose because I like being challenged to solve problems and it also stokes my creative side. I work extremely hard but not to the detriment of my relationships or social life. When I'm not working, I pursue keeping fit by playing soccer several times per week, working out, practicing yoga and running. Fitness is important to me and I look for that quality in a partner because I believe that a healthy and successful life starts with a healthy mind and body. Soccer is my main sport and I play several times per week including several men's leagues. Some other hobbies I love to pursue include backpacking, snowboarding and scuba diving. I love exploring what this area has to offer. Whether it is spending time on the beach, having dinner with friends, or checking out some live music at a local club, I like to enjoy my free time to the fullest. But you need to recharge mind, body and spirit as well, so downtime is also important to me. I devote some time each day to meditation and quiet time, and love to kick back with a good book.
The woman I am looking for is caring, loving and understanding. Patient. Affectionate. Holds hands. Gives great hugs. Is a great kisser. Loves animals. Loves to laugh. Is humble. Is smart but doesn't flaunt it or look down on other people. Is sarcastic. Has lots of stories to tell...none of which involve a big-ticket purchase. Is funny. Isn't materialistic. Loves the outdoors. Has traveled. Will travel. Loves to dine-out and sleep in, skinny dip and eat raw fish. She takes care of her mind and body. Doesn’t smoke, or use drugs. Doesn’t hang out in bars and doesn’t drink excessively or at all. Displays grace under pressure and doesn’t sweat the small stuff. The woman I am looking for is family-oriented and wants to have children some day.
Could you be her?
Meet someone special from Santa Barbara, United States. Originally from the East Coast, this man of adventure has has battled the forces of evil in Europe, Asia, and South America. While leaping tall buildings in a single bound, and saving both small children and furry animals from omni-present danger, he maintains a smile on his face and a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. Our hero firmly believes that life's more about the journey than the destination, and is committed to living the adventure! He's excited by the unknown, learning, language, travel (with or without cape), laughing, loving, connecting, expanding, classic cars (hot rods and trucks), all sorts of sports and activities, hiking, camping, art, great live music, and so much more!
After years of focusing obsessively on fighting crime, this caped crusader is seeking a partner and playmate. Cape is optional, but her super-powers aren't. She leaps through life with an open mind; eager to explore and experience the twists and turns. She's loving, conscious and real. She's intelligent, and knows how to use it. She's kind, quirky, has a weakness for furry animals, and can laugh at herself (ok, and sometimes others ). She enjoys travel, languages and other cultures. She knows who she is and knows what she wants. She is ready for a true, deep connection because being part of a dynamic duo will add to her life, not complete it.
Sound like you? The hero hotline is now open....

Though I'm currently in Santa Barbara, I'm considering new zip codes, and am about to embark upon a new adventure. I'm spending the next months(don't know how long) in a big RV (with a motorcycle on the back) exploring interesting parts of the country (looking for what might be my next place to live), launching my new web-based business, blogging about mobile entrepreneurship, and living BIG along the way.
If anything above sounds particularly interesting, drop me a line or a wink!
Date men and women from Santa Barbara, United States. I grew up in the northeast and I've lived in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York. I moved to Santa Barbara 11 years ago and I love it.
I'm driven and passion fuels most of what I do. I believe that anything worth doing is worth doing whole-heartedly. I value family and love spending time with my friends. I try to surround myself with good people, good food and good wine. I believe that you get back what you give in this world.
I'm constantly trying to be a better, more patient father. I have a 4 and a half year old daughter that is constantly surprising me and she makes me laugh every day.
I also believe every life needs a great soundtrack. Music is a huge part of my world and I seldom travel anywhere without my iPod in tow. I love to see live music - at a bar or at the Bowl. I enjoy a wide range of musical styles, but I'm a rock n' roller at heart.
I'm sort of a fashion geek. I am obsessed with shoes, custom shirts and vintage rock n' roll tees. It's a bit of an addiction and I'm trying to get help. :)
My ideal match shares my passion for food, wine, fashion and music. She's equally as comfortable in heels as she is in jeans and flip flops. She loves to travel and be spontaneous, but knows how to balance that with work and family. She can be serious when she needs to be, but also enjoys laughing at herself (and me) and finding humor in everyday life.
Could that be you? If so, I hope you'll say hello with a wink or an email. Have a great day!

Date a man from Santa Barbara, United States. I am looking for someone who doesn't want to settle for ordinary, who wants the security of a man who can provide but has there own ambitions, the ideal mate for me is beautiful inside and out with the desire to always do more. My goal in life is to accomplish success to a level that I can help others both financially and physically without compromising my lifestyle.

Meet people from Santa Barbara, United States. Friends and family know me as the nicest guy with a bit of a wild side. I am dedicated, hard-working and dependable. I'm looking for a nice girl with an adventurous spirit to create some great memories with! Simple adventures like going to the farmers market or a hike to the local mountains or even some local wine tasting, maybe cooking a meal together or the occasional short road trip.
I dont do it often but when i do, i love to travel specially the caribbean mon! On weekends you can find me going for a hike or a run or a quick saturday workout even hot yoga and hanging out with friends. I also enjoy the occasional evening in playing board games or just renting a good movie. I would like to meet someone fun, spontaneous, compassionate, outgoing, funny and someone who appreciates being active; she also would have to have a soft side and can relate to my close relationship with my grandmother and my desire to make the world a better place.
Ideally aside of being confident and smart she would have to have a great sense of humor and appreciates mine. I hope to meet a woman who generally leads a healthy lifestyle but understands my weakness for mint chip ice cream; someone who loves to dress up and go dancing but also likes hanging out in jeans and a t-shirt. Above all my partner should be honest and also capable of trusting me – a person ready for something genuine and fun.
I am here looking for a companion, friend, lover, support and cheerleader and am offering the same to the right girl; someone to share the great and little things this journey called life has to offer. If you are seeking the same, I'd love to talk.
