Date men from United States / California / Santa Monica, 47 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Uh, I'm rather private. That's a bit obnoxious, I know, and I apologize, but I have a good reason—and not because of a current relationship, an uncanny resemblance to the Elephant Man, or an international manhunt. So on your request/interest I'll happily send photos and a satisfactory explanation, along with – for a limited time – this combination kiwi peeler/back-scratcher, yours to keep!
Start-up screen: As an Aries I'm guilty as charged: energetic, enthusiastic, direct. I'm a writer and tech company co-founder seeking a partner for laughter, love, marriage and kids.
Smartphone version: 6'1', Midwestern, athletic, brown hair, green eyes, ten toes.
Tablet: Strengths include compassion, attentiveness, diligence and communication. Weaknesses: excess joy at organizing; excess capacity to delay organizing; difficulty maintaining adult-like behavior when kids are near; inclined to bouts of exuberance.
Desktop: I tend to be very curious. This makes me a good listener, I've been told. It also tends to engulf me with more than enough to explore, read, and watch (which means lots of prioritizing.) On the upside, it means that I can find pleasure, fascination, and challenge in even the smallest moments and simplest activities. (Subtext: I'm generally not boring.) I'm honest, financially secure, and I love to laugh hard.
Random surfing: I've been lucky enough to travel plenty and have survived/triggered my share of adventures: Let's spin the wheel, and...At 15 and in a small Italian village with my grandfather, I snuck out our rental car one night but left the emergency brake pulled, trailing behind me smoke, rubber fumes, and drunken, jeering Italians. Good times. Friends have repeatedly visited my home for game night -- and they all still talk to one another. Put me on the Pulitzer Committee, and I'd have The Onion on speed dial. My two awesome sisters are among my closest friends. Newly learned this year: Home remodels can spread across your home like an oil-rubbed bronze, Silken Pine, stained oak virus. On-the-fly adaptability mesmerizes me. I once wrote a fan letter to Bill Watterson, who created Calvin and Hobbes. And he wrote back. Okay, that's an absurd amount of info on me.
I'm at my best with women who are vivacious, curious, and forthright. I hope you find kids hysterical and want some yourself, and that you're a cockeyed optimist who doesn't take herself (or anyone) too seriously. A lively mind, an open heart, a quickness to laugh, and I go weak in the knees. And if you're funny, I don't have a prayer.

Meet a man from California, United States. Sexy, passionate, cute, loving, kind, sweet, smart, funny, humble, fit, health conscious....enough about you...
Me; I'm simple, humble, funny, career driven, successful, I keep fit and watch what I eat but love food, cooking and eating out. I'm a pretty mellow person, I love to people watch, do fun things but not into extreme activities...although I used to ride and race mountain bikes. My dream right now is to stop working in 3-5 years (I guess that's called "retire") and maybe go live on the beach in costa rica, so if you speak Spanish that would be a bonus. I will probably run out of money when I'm about 75 though and will have to work at McDonald's or Walmart the rest of my life...that's gonna suck.
Music: I love it! Brittany Spears, Milli Vanilli, New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys, NSYNC...these are just some of the groups I don't like. What I like is; Jeff Buckley (amazing), Ben Harper, Eagles, Willie Nelson, I even like some 50 cent, Adele...a diverse variety if you will... If a song is good I like it. When I was a young kid, I was very cute (what happened), I wanted to play the guitar so my parents bought me a guitar and put me in lessons. All I wanted to do is play Eagles songs but the instructor said that is many years away, their songs are very difficult and he made me play things like Michael rowed his boat ashore (or is it rode, not sure if mike was a passenger in the boat or the skipper) (booooring) so I gave up the guitar, therefore, now I'm not cool and not on the road touring with my band sleeping with tons of hot groupies; so you won't have to worry about that with me, I won't be on the road sleeping with groupies.
There, I wrote something....
