Date people from Santa Monica, United States. This is my third time around Match.com, I am a sucker or what?
Well, no. Like many of you I just want a loving companion. Period.
You may think I am picky, not really, well maybe a little, but so are you!
I keep seeing the same profiles in my area now for eight years!
Obviously something is not right, and that something I suspect is you didn’t bother to answer my email, or you didn’t have the guts to take the initiative and send me one yourself!
Yes, I do not look like prince charming , I know myself I am a very rare, and unusual individual, and I may not look like what you got in mind for a companion, however I got to remind you of emptying your cup, like in the Zen story, no new tea can be pour in to a full one…
I admit the woman who may find me her cup of tea, should also be unusual, and not tied by conventions, and orthodoxy, and pretty bored with men that can offer you but material things, and expect to impress a lady with what they got, rather than for who they are. I value an intelligent, and well read woman, and by well read I do not mean mass market best sellers. I like cooking, and I am a vegetarian of many years, I do not mind to eat out, but please do not try to impress me with the places you go to, unfortunately most people in LA care more about the ambiance, decoration style, or the famous people who goes there, than about the food itself (mediocre, and very expensive for what you get, so 80's and 90's) I will be impress if you know how to cook! However even if you are a lousy cook, I do not mind, as long as you are willing to help me in the kitchen, and have other virtues. I am an INFJ so I require to charge my battery after a long day of work, I do not mind socializing sometimes as long it is not excessive. I know relationships are challenging, and can be very difficult with the wrong person, I am not a grumpy, even if I write like one, on the contrary I am very easy going, but dislike mind games, and my way or the highway types, I get along fine with women willing to compromise, and with that sine qua non attitude of most well bred, and sophisticated people, I seek friendship, companionship, and peace of mind, and if you get also love, and commitment in the process, well icing on the cake! I am very affectionate, like to hug, or hold hands for no reason, and my idea of a good time is to walk with you side by side with your arm on mine. You are free to do whatever your interest are, as long you do not want me to participate in them all the time, I will do the same.
I am one of those libertines for who’s Hafiz wrote:
“From all beauties capturing hearts don’t expect,
All mirrors like Alexander’s the truth won’t reflect.
All who wear costly hats with pride in town;
Are not worthy to get kingdom and crown.
Don’t be like beggars who only worship for reward,
The friend well knows how his servants to regard.
He love libertines who put life at stake;
Who although beggars, elixir of life can make.
It’s good but hard to be loyal, my lass,
It’s is much easier to be wicked and bad.
Waiting I lost my heart in despair, and yet it may be that
A beauty with wisdom may spot the good from the bad.
Dervishes are not all those who have a long hair,
Many secrets exist in this Mystic affair.
Of Hafiz wisdom poems are only for those aware,
And who for beauty, truth, versatile poetry seek.”
If like the beauty of the poem you can spot a good deal when you see one, you know where to find me.

Meet a soulmate from Santa Monica, United States. I’m energetic, and know how to have fun as well as be serious. I can laugh at myself and smile to make the world smile with me. I am fortunate to have great friends from all walks of life ~ local artists, musicians and carpenters to scholars and professionals. Friends from Europe, Asia and the Americas.
Sometimes we ought to break the rules ~ run with scissors, play with matches, open umbrellas in the house, walk under ladders or step on the cracks on the sidewalk. I just don't understand some phobias such as knocking on wood for continued luck or throwing salt over your shoulder, do you?
Thoughts to mull over: I prefer summer over winter, amber over light beer, outdoors over indoors, steak over chicken and seafood over both, kissing over hugging, dark over milk chocolate, actions over words, rugby over football or baseball, hiking over strolling, bicycles over motorcycles, whispers over yelling, mojitos over sangria, dogs over cats, pool over bowling, being direct over beating around the bush, sharing over secrets, brain over brawn, sauvignon blanc over chardonnay, pinot noir over syrah, and love over lust (although there's nothing wrong with a good dose of lust every now and then).
I’m looking for a long term relationship with a woman who is sincere, outgoing / active and maybe even a little quirky. As for the rest of what makes a match ... don't you think we can figure it out as we go along?

Date single man from Santa Monica, United States. I have been fortunate in life to have many interests and to have pursued multiple careers and hobbies. I have studied music and had a brief career in the New Wave days of the late 1970s/80s in Los Angeles. I have a degree in economics from UCSB. In 1979 I became a stock broker and later became a municipal bond specialist. In 1989 I bought a small investment firm that I still own. I am looking for someone to share the wide range of experiences that life provides.
I am told that I am bright, charming and witty. I love to cook and enjoy good food. I am more interested in what a person is on the inside than what appears on the outside.
In 2007 I was diagnosed with leukemia; fortunately it is treatable with an oral medication. I have been in remission for five years.
Today I am lucky to be alive. In fact I am very lucky; I enjoy my work, my friends, racing and so many of the other things that life has to offer. Life is short and unpredictable; I would like share this adventure with someone special. Would you like to join me?

Date men and women from California, United States. Hello,
I'm looking for someone who is sincere about meeting and investing the time to get to know each other. I'm not perfect, but I do try to work at being a better person. I think I have learned from past experiences what it takes to make a relationship work. My many years living abroad and traveling have been my real education and I've met some wonderful people on the way who have influenced me greatly. I might sound serious and I know my pictures are a bit too unexpressive (the dog takes better pictures than me), but I do have a sense of humor ( and the old cliche, I look better in person). I try to keep myself physically fit, mentally alert and openminded. It would be nice to find a potential partner with similiar values and tastes (and who cooks a good Lasagna). 

Meet someone special from California, United States. I'm an intelligent playful, kind, creative, writer. I live in Santa Monica, which I love. I am active in my community and have done a lot of volunteer work for kids and schools. I love simple things like a picnic lunch at the beach, a drive up the coast to Big Sur, giving each other a massage, the sunset. I like music of all kinds from Miles, to Ella, to Smashing Pumpkins, Coldplay, Greenday, Postal Service, Diana Krall and, of course, Sinatra... I like fine restaurants, fine art, edgy independant movies as well mainline fare. My sentimental favorite "It's A Wonderful Life". I like traditional sex and playful sex. I like sharing control whether its driving the car, or deciding where to go for dinner. Occasionally my idea of a nice time is to share some good food and good wine light the candles and dance together in the living room. Fun and fast ... and slow and soft. I like going to Canter's Deli late at night when you can pop into the Kibbitz Room for funky live music. I love my kids. I love to hike on a sunny day. I love life.
I am looking for a woman who sees the joy in life and wants to share it. I am also looking for a woman who has depth. Who has put time into conscious growth and has created a loving relationship with herself. Someone who knows how to take responsibility for her own emotions and who is committed to working through our awkward moments and misunderstandings in a kind and gentle way.

Date single man from California, United States. Individualist. Not a follower. Enjoy the role of a contrarain when compelled or circumstances run counter to my "core/grain." Morals/ethics, strong sense of purpose, and a compassion for the impact on others function as my personal compass. Started consulting practice in Wash DC in 84; expanded to 35 pp, but wasn't happy, focus was on maintaining growth, not the experience. High stress/low quality-of-life accelerated need to transition practice to an organizational psychologist/facilitator for public sector clients. Smaller/agile practice has enabled me to select clients/projects based on interest/value-added, not financial need. Family is high-priority. Have been a single parent since 98 with joint custody of 17-year old daughter (entering college in Sep) who lives in DC area (Annapolis, MD) with her mother. Been returning to DC monthly (initially bi-weekly) to visit her and maintain parental bond. Stayed with parents and double-dipped -- visit daughter and parents. Process has been time-consuming, but experience and rewards have been immeasurable. Try to maintain contact with daughter and father daily, mother passed away recently. Maintain healthy and active lifestyle with emphasis on outdoor activities, on a preferred basis (cycling,hiking, running,trail-running,tennis,skiing) supplemented with indoor activities (spinning,swimming,weight-training, squash). Eat healthy to balance sweet-tooth. Committed to continuous process of improving my core. Italian-side facilitates ability to be expressive. Learned through experience/intuition, the upside of being present and emotionally-available in personal and professional interactions. @ You: Not a stickler on personal qualifiers because they can be limiting or a distraction. Drawn to "that spark" that resonates when chemistry exists. Personal interaction is preferred method for gauging "our fit." Have learned that most satisfying moments occur when we experience challenges and benefit from our personal/shared growth
