Date people from California, United States. Are we having fun yet?
My parents did their best but I was bad, bad, bad.
I showed great promise but I got into drums and drugs.
Now all I do is play drums. I'm in three bands and it keeps me busy.
But I still need female companionship.
Can you put up with this?
Meet a man from California, United States. You are smart, active and independent ... you make your own way in the world - and have an interest in thinking about the journey over the horizon. You won't mind much if, even though there's a lot that I could complain about, I'm generally happy with things and generally optimistic.
Mind you, I know there's a lot about me that might cause complaints. To paraphrase an out-of-context line from an old Tom Waits song, I come from a good family but some things about me just might not be right. For starters, I still work a lot - I do corporate stuff, and think it's intellectually engaging and, frankly, I enjoy the pressure as much as the sense of accomplishment itself. And I'm the oldest of seven kids but, as a work colleague once observed, I really don't like authority - even when I'm in charge. I live in Santa Monica but utterly fail to conform to the local political views: in cultural and social terms, my neighbors might say I'm "liberal" or "middle of the road" just like them, but I also hold a more classically "liberal" preference for free people and free markets (which, to my neighbors' disgust, makes me a radical Republican and certainly someone in Santa Monica who just doesn't fit in). Finally, there's an obsession that consumes my spare time: after putting it aside for many years (well, actually, decades), I've gone back to competitive swimming and have once again become focused as much on the fun of swimming fast as on my national rankings.
Meanwhile, my marriage of 23 years ended in 2008 and my two kids - ages 22 and 23 - are taking their next steps. The younger is working at a tech start-up and living the dream: he surfs in the morning, bikes to the lab and spends his day thinking about physics (and he's living next to Venice Beach with his college girlfriend, which beats by a mile the life I had in the rural South when I was his age), and his brother made a career move to NYC. In other words, both are increasingly independent in spirit and in fact. But I'm still digging through, among other things, piles of junk-work (anyone want to help with my taxes?), and although I had hoped to find more "space" for new friends, the reality is that time is still short and my focus on this "dating thing" is still more aspirational than actual for a few more months.
By the way, I work in downtown L.A., and travel a lot on business, mostly to the Bay Area and Houston.
Date a soulmate from California, United States. First of all, let me say that all my photos are recent. So when you meet me, I'm am what I appear to be, youthful, honest, caring, authentic, creative. And as I've been told, have a great smile! I've lived in Santa Monica for many years and own a home there, but recently moved just a short distance away in Brentwood. I've decided to rent my house out for a year and try something new. I have a great life and love my family and friends, but I'm looking for a the right guy to round out the picture. Someone who makes me feel secure and cared for and enjoys life to the fullest so we can experience it together.
