Date someone special from Santa Monica, United States. Let's talk, that's the best way to see if you have a connection with someone. I can tell you what I like, or how I feel about life in general, but real interaction is the best way to see if there is a spark at some level between us.
That said, I will say that I do my best to stay positive. I enjoy going out to eat, seeing new places, trying new things, good conversation, or just hanging out with friends and family. I do a lot of traveling, and I do enjoy it. But it's nice to be in town just taking it all in. I'm a very loyal, understanding and honest person. I feel like my best years are ahead of me. Let me know if you feel the same way.

Date a man from Santa Monica, United States. Hello there. I am a tennis instructor/comedian/voice-over artist/ good friend/ bad cook/ horrible speller /excellent sleeper/ a sum of all parts living in Santa Monica. Depending on the day these parts are interchangeable, although I do wish the excellent sleeper would get more involved. I used to perform stand-up around the country. I now have ''settled down" a bit. I teach tennis (my first love ) at a club in the area, still perform stand-up around LA, study voice-over, and once in a blue moon go on the road to perform.
I am a good person, someone with integrity. I am honest, loyal and true to my word. I believe as Joan Didion writes "self respect has nothing to do with the approval of others- who are, after all, deceived easily enough; has nothing to do with reputation, which, as Rhett Butler told Scarlet Ohara, is something people with courage can do without.” I also believe what my mom said “ class is treating everyone, no matter who they are, with respect and dignity whether someone is looking or not.”
My best trait is perseverance.I’m willing to work for my goals, and know that "anything worth having has its price.” I'm also very loyal. I value my friends and family and treasure each day they are on this planet
Before we go on: MY GOAL IS TO GET OFF of Match. com! I'm not here to make pen-pal’s. if you are interested in what you read let's meet for coffee, or a drink-with-no-commitment except friendly chat.
I am looking for a woman who loves to laugh and chooses to smile; someone who respects herself and others, who wants a supportive partnership and a silly friend. I really love smart women. Not book smart, but someone who is intellectually curious, someone who sits and wonders. I do. If you can make me laugh, I'm yours.
Meet men and women from Santa Monica, United States. I like being basic, yet adventurous with a liking to discover new things, while holding on to the great things I have discovered. I have a broad range of music listening styles and genres from classical, jazz, rock, alternative, country... which I hear at any given time. I appreciate artistic endeavors and creative views. I am not locked into anyone's single opinion, but open to new ideas as they are shared. I enjoy architect, museums, art galleries, live performances, theater, movies and a refreshing ocean breeze. I keep an appetite for unique tasting food, but religiously eat Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches daily. I eat more healthy, why not, but it doesn't mean I give up on the quality of culinary plates or a bag of hamburgers and fries. I enjoy nature, and at the same time enjoy an urban lifestyle.
I typically like to keep informed about social and authentic news of the world. I like history, and sometimes I pause to wonder how someday my life will be part of someone else in the future looking back at what I was about and who I was as an individual, my life, and did I do what mattered... then again,I might just be another B & W picture in a drawer. I enjoy spontaneous activities and just being about town.
Oh well, what I said was a personal interpretive opinion, but, this is a part of who I am... basically.

Meet a soulmate from Santa Monica, United States. What does one say?
I am witty, adventurous, and down-to-earth, with a broad enthusiasm for life and a good sense of humor. I love to travel, and do so as often as is possible.
My interests are wide and varied, and include spending time with family and friends, music of all types, being outdoors (beach, golf, diving, hiking), film and the theatre, museums and galleries.

Meet people from California, United States. I enjoy the serenity and quiescence of country life and the hustle and bustle of the city. Agrestic sights exhilarate the spirit and there are not many things more refreshing than stepping outside to breathe in the crisp, clean air and seeing what nature has to offer. On the other hand, walking in the sand along the beach and feeling the cool ocean breeze is just as exhilarating. Like most guys I have my strengths and weaknesses, although I like to think the positives by far outweigh the negatives. My friends describe me as witty, insightful, and empathetic. I have a good sense of humor and enjoy making people smile. I am a retired surgeon and although I am happy with the path I chose and received a lot of fulfillment from it, a career as a physician was too restrictive, demanding, and time-consuming. My biggest mistake was taking care of the masses instead of focusing on the few that are most important to me. I refuse to make the same mistake twice. I now practice complimentary medicine. I will fill you in on what that means in person; otherwise my passion will cause me to babble incessantly .
I thought my midlife crisis peaked when moving to California. It has not happened yet. Do not get me wrong, I am quite content on the farm in Midwest with my two dogs at my side. Sitting on the dock and feeding the horses, ducks, and catfish is quite entertaining. Sure they are great companions because they do not talk back to you (except for the chickens) or complain when you do something wrong. In a perfect world I would love to have the farm in California and enjoy all that LA has to offer. Too many doors have opened in California and there does not seem to be enough time to walk through all of them. I would like a companion to share in the fun of closing a few or perhaps even opening up a few more. My latest adventure is in acting. I still can't believe it! It is no longer a hobby, but rather a fun-filled journey with no expectations. The point is to enjoy every minute of it. By the way, the close up photos of me were taken in 2012. What you see is what you get. I am not on call and I have no emergencies. I can practice complimentary medicine, do my acting gigs, and most importantly devote and share my time with that special someone. Then it will be time to travel and see what the rest of the world has to offer...together. I hope my midlife crisis never peaks!
I am seeking a relationship filled with passion and devotion. Communication and intimacy are an absolute must. My ideal partner would be attractive, witty, compassionate, and faithful. I want us to be able to listen attentively to each other's words for hours on end. I want to be able to hold you in my arms without having to say a word for hours on end. If both speak the same language, then I will know a fire is lit. If I still have your attention, perhaps that means we have something worth working on. I hope that you will take a chance and explore what a life this kind hearted physician has to offer!
Date a man from California, United States. Where do I start? Who am I looking for? I think I'll know when I see her. It's in that special look. That "knowing" you have between each other. Chemistry. You either have it or you don't.
But, I think she should really take care of herself, be into music, be very loving, love to travel, likes to "do" things. Life is about "living".
About me. I'm doing great. I'm very happy. I'm smiling all the time. I'm really into enjoying every day. Living. My Dad told me before he passed away to "live every day" and it really touched me. It hit me square in the heart. You know, every single day above ground is a good day! So, if you come home Friday night after work and just veg all weekend we're probably not a good fit.
I try to live by the following:
"in this life,
read everything you can read,
taste everything you can taste,
meet everyone you can meet,
travel anywhere you can travel,
learn everything you can learn,
experience everything you can experience".

I've got a great job. I absolutely love it. I'm an engineer (not the geeky type!). My position is Director of Intellectual Property (IP). I'm responsible for protecting and developing the innovation in my company. It's a blast. I "get" to work with engineers and scientists when they are excited about their work. I take their ideas and turn them into patent applications and I hire attorneys to manage our IP. I also "get" to teach them about patents and inventions and how patent law works.
I'm not an attorney. I'm considered a Technical Consultant. I came from Microsoft litigation group. (I'm a West Coast guy. I was raised in California up by Lake Tahoe in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains, close to where gold was discovered though I went to high school and college in Oregon and grad school in England). I worked on some of the biggest patent litigation cases in history with some of the smartest people in the world. It was intellectually fascinating. I loved it and I actually got paid to do it! I then worked for Intellectual Ventures in Seattle. This "little" company had hundreds of millions of dollars to buy patents with. It was started by 2 ex-Microsoft multi-multi-millionaires. I then came to Boston to work for a Fortune 500 company. I was in charge of their worldwide IP. I traveled the world training engineers and scientists while "stoking" the innovation pipeline in the company until they were bought out and I was not part of the reorganization. I then worked for a Green Tech company in Boston which has the potential to replace coal plants! I'm now in LA doing IP consulting and acting in the science and technology area.
So, life is good! I love what I do. I've been all over the world. Had a wonderful marriage until 7 years ago. I'm very happy with where I am except I think life is meant to be shared. We are interesting creatures. I thought I would be fine without a partner. I would find my fun in my friendships and experiences. I could easily do this alone. You know what? I learned that I can. Very easily. But wow, I miss the comfort and love of a good woman. Her touch...though it's not just the physical side! It is so much more than that. The emotional connection of a woman is so precious, so special. It is an incredible gift, such a beautiful thing. And I miss it. And I want to find it again. Hopefully you're the one reading this and we've found each other!
Our paths have crossed today. I want to say to you...
.....In the time of YOUR life, LIVE!

Date single man from California, United States. I'm a passionate, open, interested, curious, adventurous, caring, generous, relaxed, warm and sensuous person who is always learning more about themselves and the world. But sometimes I'm not all of those things. Although I strive to be the best person that I can be as often as possible. I'm genuinely interested in a lot of things and am always looking for new ways to make connections.
I have a 15yr old daughter who I love immensely. We are together about 50% of the time. She inspires me.
I love the outdoors. I'm originally from NY but have lived in CA for the last 18 years. I travel for my work now and then and have had the opportunity to see some amazing places. But there's more to go and I'd love to share those experiences with someone.
I take good care of myself, both by exercising and eating well. And I really enjoy cooking, which is a lot more fun to do for two then one.
I'm looking for someone who is open to life, interested in exploring, learning and growing. Someone who enjoys being outdoors and roughing it once and a while but also likes to go out at night and have a great dinner, listen to music, see movies. I love to read and can be equally happy lounging at home together and hangin.
