Cheers!

Meet a man from California, United States. Hello ... thanks for the visit.
Like you: I'd rather we just meet in the produce aisle or something, but here we are trying the INTERNET DATING thing. I guess it's part of our reality, esp for busy people.
Soooooo ... here goes ...
Things about ME:
- I think life is what you make of it and it starts with choices. There are plenty of things you CAN'T control and it's those things - and how you deal with them - that establish your character, who you are as a person. So, out of the gate I'd say: I typically CHOOSE to be a happy, glass half-full kinda guy. I like to solve problems, not complain about them.
- I have 50% custody of my son, (6 yr old), so anyone interested in getting to know me should obviously know that; I love being a Dad but certainly have room and time for YOU.
- I'm, shall I say, right and left-brained. Engineering & Business background combined with great affinity to arts. I'd like to think it brings a cool balance to the table ... but that's for YOU to decide !
- I live in SoCal soooo ... I'm physically active and like to stay fit. Gym, biking, jogging, etc. Usually up for anything, I'm more of a DOER than WATCHER for sure.
- I'm an East coast transplant. Born and raised in NJ, (the accent's gone!), been out West for a long time; passed thru Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, to LA.
- Lastly ... the most-candid thing I could say is ... I'm CANDID. Lol. I'm a fairly straightforward person, I don't play games. Well, I do with my son but not with a woman's emotions! I'm a respectful, thoughtful, chivalrous guy who enjoys bringing a smile to the lady I'm spending time with and absolutely avoid drama whenever I can. Let's keep it nice ... breezy.
About YOU:
- It doesn't matter ... I'm desperate.
- KIDDING !!! : )
- You're over your ex. Please. I've had my share of dates and it seems people like to chat about their ex. Ya can't move forward if you're living in the past.
- You're fundamentally a NICE person. I'd love to meet someone who's nice; sounds simple, but isn't. You don't take things for granted. You know who you are; you're grounded.
- You, kinda like me, are more of an optimist. You do your best and let the chips fall where they may but your ATTITUDE along the way is a positive one. It's so much fun to be around positive people; and such a drag to be around negative types, huh?
- You enjoy being fit/healthy. Maybe it's similar to me, maybe it's yoga, ... whatever it is, you take time for yourself to feel as good about you as you can.
*** Note: I altered my age to avoid getting all the AARP notes and be in the search results I desire. ***
How's that for simple?
So, if you'd like to meet a quality guy ... please drop a note.
Or, I guess you can take the easy route and wink !
Otherwise ..... see ya in the produce aisle !!

Date people from California, United States. Let's get the lyrics of the banana phone song out of this box... I rather display a lack of inspiration then a lack of sanity.
Sorry people, I thought I deleted it. And some filler to get more then 200 characters, slave drivers

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Hi,
So, giving this a shot. Nothing to lose? And just like everyone else on the site this is my first attempt at the online deal! I'm looking for a level headed and down to earth girl. Unfortunately, those girls seem to be somewhat rare in LA these days. I'd love to meet someone who enjoys traveling and experiencing new places throughout the world. But their also not afraid to revisit the places they like the most. A good sense of humor is a must. I have a dry and sarcastic 'wit' so if you don't enjoy laughing with me (or at the very least at me) than it probably isn't going to work:) It's really quite simple. I'm looking for a normal and fun young lady who likes to have fun but also doesn't mine just hanging out on the couch. I'm independent so that's the kind of person I'm looking for in return. Someone who in time can be my best friend and enjoys being treated like a lady. A girl who takes life with a 'grain of salt' while enjoying life and all that it throws at us. I'm a genuine and honest person who's just looking for someone to have some good times with in this ridiculous city of ours.

Date someone special from United States. I am truly looking for a partner in crime, someone to share all of life's wonderful adventure with. Someone that can not only laugh out loud, though can laugh at themselves and are passionate about living, exploring and traveling.
Someone that is down to earth, love to explore and live life.

Meet single man from United States. I suppose my friends would say I'm a Renaissance guy, with a passion for nearly everything including painting, poetry, business, religion, sports, etc. I'm currently an executive at a bank for which I'm up in Santa Barbara most weekdays, while my family is big into real estate and movies in LA. Staying healthy and fit are very important to me. I've never been much of a party guy, and would prefer catching an opera or ballet, or perhaps exploring a cool new restaurant.
It would be a pleasant surprise to meet a lady who is a little unique with a voice in this world: someone who doesn't have to carry around a phone or text (especially at the grocery store! HA), and can find just as much pleasure in smiling at strangers and living in the present moment. I think the art and skill of communication has been largely lost in today's technology-isolated world. While a tough task nowadays, I'm thankful and content being single.
Life is an uneven adventure which can be very meaningful with the right objective: character, individuality and moral compass are important.

Date men and women from United States. A little about me... I grew up in NV, running around in the sunshine with a smile on my face playing any sport I could. I was fearless and didn’t worry about the future, because it comes soon enough (stealing a line from an extremely intelligent man). Bonus points if you can guess that one. Although that lack of fear led to a few broken bones along the way, it also led to the adult version that is genuine, optimistic, resilient and open minded.
I pay attention to the little things (yes, this includes your profile) and try not to forget to enjoy the journey along the way. I am blessed with a great family and friends that I consider family. I am driven and organized professionally, but tend to be spontaneous in my free time because the best times seem to come from the least expected places. I have been a part of multiple start-ups including my own little Group of one that I started last summer. It stresses me out sometimes but it has also been very rewarding and makes me feel a true sense of independence.
I appreciate effort and admire others talent especially when it’s something outside of my own. Creative and talented musical types make me feel bad about my own skills but it’s not going to stop me from singing in the car or shower. I do my best to live in the moment, continue to put myself out there and keep things in the proper perspective. I believe that it’s not what happens to you in life; it’s how you react to it that matters most.
I’m looking for someone who is well balanced, resilient and thoughtful moving forward in life with optimism. Someone looking for quality over quantity and isn’t on here to get over their last bf or fill their social schedule. If this resonates with you, say hello and keep an open mind. Maybe we will have some fun or maybe it will turn into something more. There’s only one way to find out!
PS – I love to travel just like everyone else. I have fantastic stamps on my passport to prove it.

Meet a man from United States. About me: laid back, motivated, have a health curiosity about life, appreciate a healthy and active lifestyle, intelligent, cultured and over all a happy person. I think that life is full of opportunities and great moments and I have learned to slow down to be able to see them.
Although I have a very intense professional life I definitely work to live and not the other way around and try to live my life with as much balance as possible.
I'd say that family, gratitude, hard work, honesty and knowing when to laugh at myself are some of the key values I try to live my life by. Today I live pretty much stress free because I don't sweat the small things.
One of my biggest passions in life is to travel the world and visit as many countries as possible. I've lived in seven countries and visited another dozen and a half, two of those years volunteering in Brazil.
When I'm not globe trotting I'm taking salsa dancing class which I just started and have really gotten into. I value staying active and so I love running at the beach, practicing yoga, going out with friends to a concert or catching a new act at the local comedy club. One more thing, I enjoy cooking. I find it a lot of fun and get a kick out feeding people plus its an outlet for my creative side. There are more things I could go on about but I'd rather leave that for when we meet. Why spoil all the surprises?
My ideal match is someone who is confident, intelligent, mature yet playful even goofy, knows what she wants, has her own ideas about life and can challenge me with my own. I admire someone who is independent and motivated but is still young at heart and adventurous. I'm looking for someone who values family and is honest, a good communicator and loyal. Physical attraction is part of the equation but needs to go hand in hand with an amazing personality.

Date people from United States. I am ME but you should know that by now, right? Back in the batters box...you can't hit if you don't swing. I have rounded all the bases in my life (can you believe that?) so ladies take notice. If you want to have fun, play loose, experience elation and genuinely have a good time inside or outside then we should get in contact. We know dating online is about physical attraction first so please look like your photos. If I am interested then I will contact you...don't stalk me and don't email me to tell me I am an arrogant SOB. You are entitled to your own opinion but you don't know my mom so back off. If I don't return your email its because you are more attractive to someone else. No offense but you have your whole life to get over it.
Women, stop taking yourself so seriously. Loosen up a little...now enjoy a very pleasant, funny, witty and purposefully cynical view of 'online dating' realities! Hit me up when you are done. You know you are intrigued.
Ladies, seriously, be attractive, fun, energetic, playful and a risk taker or pass on by my profile. In all candor, if men don't stop to check you out at the gym or construction workers don't whistle at you then in all likelihood you are not that hot so stop saying you want a 'hot' guy.
Also, when you tell me 'I have never done this before' or 'you know we are not having s_x, right?' both of these mean that in T minus 5 minutes we will both be in our birthday suits, making some really bad (but good) decisions and one of us (hopefully both) is feeling some pleasure. Ladies, keep saying these things in bed, us guys only know what's about to happen.
What I want... someone who is ridiculously hot (your pictures are current and not air-brushed) and sexy, athletic, intelligent, funny and enjoys all that life has to offer. Staying up late playing adult games like 'pin the tail on the donkey', 'slap-stick' and 'tonsil hockey' is also a top priority. Someone who enjoys staying physically fit and enjoys winter activities is a must. Someone who is not possessive or materialistic. I thoroughly enjoy meeting new people and learning from them. Love of travel is a must. She should be independent but also know when to ask for help. Being from the south, I was raised to treat a female like a lady. Opening doors, walking on the side of danger when we are together and being polite would be normal things that I do. BUT that doesn't mean that a b**ch shouldn't be treated like one either. I want a woman who knows how to be a WOMAN and knows how to please a man! Older women and girls that bypass the games should apply.
Also, if I show up to meet you and you do not look like your photos or added 30 lbs since your last posted photo I am walking away...or if I do stay, drinks and dinner are on you. What you see is what you get with me, so make it a mutual thing.
And if you made it this far then you should know that SARCASM and WIT are two of my biggest attributes. I am born and raising in the south and believe it or not a southern gentleman. Chivalry is not lost on me so don't let the above profile charm you into thinking you are going to get treated like dirt, which is typical of most CA guys. If you can hang let me know. I love all the 'you are arrogant" or "what did some woman do to you to make you so bitter" emails. And what is with telling me that in one of my pics I have a wedding ring on and should take it down? I am DIVORCED...deal with it. But you can hold those and not waste your time emailing me...because clearly you are not bright enough to see that I am being sarcastic, witty and fun in the above profile. Get to know me and don't judge a book by its cover. Didn't your parents raise you better?
If you are interested then email me with a photo and more about you and we can start the dialog

Meet a soulmate from United States. I am a fun, athletic and witty guy. I have a dry sense of humor and am always joking around with my friends and family.
I am very content with everything going on in my life right now I just want to share my life experiences with someone special!
I have always worked for big, reputable companies so I suppose during the week I am Mr. Business guy. This being said, I am a hipster at heart. I like all sorts of music, dive bars, nice dinners and travel.
Another passion of mine is staying fit. I try to work out 5 - 6 days a week. Trainer, running, hoops, golf, bean bag toss:-) I like to mix it up. I just started going to Shred415...incredible work out and great idea.
As for the type of girl I'm looking for...well I would say I don't really have a type but that it is just something that catches my attention. Yes, I like girls that like to work out but even that isn't a deal breaker. I just like a girl that is interesting, somewhat independent and is a little eclectic herself. If asked what I mean by that I will say I don't really know how to describe it, I just know it when I see it.
There ya go. I like to think I am old fashioned / charming / caring and generally a sweet guy who also has a bit of an edge to him.
Thanks for reading my profile.
