Date women from United States / California / Santa Monica, 37 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I've always been a big believer in chance, trusting that some day I'd make eye contact across a crowded room, meet while walking my dog in the park or start a wine related altercation at BevMo that would lead to some witty banter and sharing a toothbrush. Apparently, I've been too goal oriented in my dog walking & wine buying. Actually, I'd never share a toothbrush, cavities are contagious.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I'm trying this out because I now know 2 people who found amazing matches on here. So I figured, why not at least check it out? I should also point out that I am currently in a job where I am still trying to find a work/life balance. So far the 'life' thing is losing out.
So, okay, I don't take myself too seriously because, well, I find people who are too serious are boring. I do voice over work on occasion while holding down a day job. I love art, music, animals and animation of all types; I have a degree in animation, actually. I tend to gravitate towards the creative type of guy. I'm pretty laid back, I laugh a lot, some times at the worst jokes imaginable. I can't help it, I have a quirky sense of humor. Also I find talking about myself to be a tad pretentious. Okay, I just wanted to use the word 'pretentious' in a sentence.
I enjoy working out, Pilates and just walking. I try to take care of myself and am looking for someone who does the same. I also like beer. This, however, does not mean I drink I lot, I just enjoy a good beer from time to time. I'd like to find someone who not only can enjoy a good beer with me but is creative, interesting, has a good sense of humor and is educated. Of course pretty much all of that is subjective... except the part about beer.
I'm not sure what else to say other than I am not insane (that I know of) and I have never seen the inside of a jail cell. Whether or not either of those things is good or bad depends on your perspective, I guess. I do like to think that I have more personality than a common house plant, but again, that's probably subjective, isn't it?

Date someone special from California, United States. Ok let's face it. You men don't actually READ the profiles....,you just LOOK at the pictures :)
I'm from Salt Lake City, Utah and have been living in California for over ten years. I love to run, spin, snowboard, yoga, dance, and hit the gym. But I also like to wear some make up, toss my hair, wear a dress and heels for a night on the town. I enjoy being around intelligent, funny and sarcastically witty people. I love to laugh and enjoy people who don't take themselves too seriously and can just be silly. I'm easy to talk to and make friends easily. I'm the type of girl that will watch or go to a basketball/football game with you, handle my own if you take me to a party, and be respectful to your friends and family. Family and friends are so dear and very important to me. I think having a strong family foundation and real relationships with people you care about is what life is all about. I've traveled a lot and love spontaneous getaways. As for a relationship.....there's got to be that spark and we both have to make each other laugh!
You:
- Be yourself
- Be a gentleman (chivalry is awesome)
- Smart/ambitious men are a turn on
- Funny/wittiness will make me weak in the knees....
- Be easy going and have an open mind
- Be physically active....because if I like you...I hope you'll be around for a very long time :)

Meet a soulmate from United States. Hi there! I work in the film business and love my job. But when I'm not working, I enjoy working out, cooking, trying new restaurants, snowboarding, and catching up on past seasons of Sex and the City. I love LA and enjoy exploring all it has to offer.
Between friends, family, work, and volunteering, I generally lead a busy life, but don't worry, if you're cute enough, I'll make time for you :). I always make time for the people and things that matter.
If you're a sweet, smart guy, and want to know more...send me a note!

Date a woman from United States. And I quote the talented Montell Jordan when I say that I guess "This
Is How We Do It...." This is my maiden voyage into the online dating
world of Match.com. Not that I have any objections to the process-
almost every friend I have is or has been on the site at one point or
another. I hear the great successful love stories and the ridiculous
colossal fails alike. I guess for me, 1) I never really have had
problems meeting men (just quality men seeking a monogamous
relationship )and 2) have been painfully mortified of writing a personal
profile. How does one capture who they are in quick paragraph that is
funny and interesting using the correct buzz words without appearing
conceited or desperate? The net net is that I'm still single and am
looking for someone to share the journey so here's trying...
I am young at heart with a lot of energy. I probably have not gone a
day without laughing and making someone else laugh-even it is at my
own expense. I am an avid runner and commited to an active, healthy
lifestyle...I am generous with my heart, kindness, and compassion and
would expect the same from my mate. I am motivated, independent, and
have worked hard to create a comfortable life without a lot of
financial stress. I love music, movies, socializing, the outdoors,
sports (both as a player and spectator...can LA pull together a NFL
team please???), big group dinners as well quiet nights at home pour
deux. I like to be challenged and feel that you can learn a little
something from everyone (even if it is how NOT to behave)...everyone
brings something to the party. I try to be very open minded and love
to embrace the journey of others I REALLY enjoy traveling but am
terribly lacking in this pursuit. My list of "places to see" is often
sacrificed for the "things to do" list. I would love for this to
change.
Chemistry is everything and I firmly believe that beauty generates
from within. I have unfortunately seen some very pretty people get really ugly really fast and
personality, humor, charm can go a long way. That said, I won't
sacrifice attraction- I tried that before and it won't ever happen
again. I am not at all interested in the "a-hole" -used to, but now
I'm into the nice guy that treats me like he would his sister, mother,
or any other woman he really cherishes although I'd be lying if I said
I didn't like an "edge." I also believe that you don't always know what you want to do with your life until your doing it so I try to keep an open mind and heart!

Meet someone special from United States. As I spend much of my professional life marketing people and companies, have to admit I find it a bit tough to do so for myself but here goes. Above and beyond everything...I love traveling/adventure... I know...me and everyone else on here but its definitely true. I dont have as much time for really getting out there as I used to but I try and take a couple of cool trips a year. Aside from traveling...love music, photography, yoga, great restaurants, good red wine, anything in the outdoors and anything with a little adventurous twist.
As far as what I am looking for I guess thats even harder to sum up as chemistry is inexplicable but I can say would be cool to meet someone who loves getting out there as much as I do but can also be mellow and grounded in one place. Family and friends are everything to me and I feel lucky and privileged to have the people I have in my life.

Date a soulmate from Santa Monica, United States. WHO AM I??.... I am the unique pearl in an oyster shell that you need to dive into the ocean to retrieve (: The words that others have used to describe me would be "authentic and real." I am the girl who is fun loving and playful with a sense of humor, but knows when to be serious. I enjoy the outdoors and being active, but I also enjoy staying in and watching a movie. I am family oriented, attractive, intelligent, cultured, outgoing, directed, and have a golden heart. I am so much more, and it would be great to find that special man to share that with. I still believe in chivalry, and hope to find the man who does as well.
What I am looking for:
You are a man who is attractive in my eyes, family oriented, EMOTIONALLY AVAILABLE, intelligent, ambitious, kind, and trustworthy. You have INTEGRITY, communicate, are a problem solver because you don't run when an issue arrises, and are able to commit and give things a chance because you realize that there is a great relationship that can flourish. You know how to recognize and appreciate a good woman, and want to/are ready to be in a healthy relationship.

Meet a woman from Santa Monica, United States. Who am I? I'm a southern lady who realized life is much nicer when you can live by the beach and have sunshine almost everyday. About me... bright blue eyes, a button nose, a contagious laugh, and a compassionate heart. intelligent, creative, outgoing, loyal friend, great listener, open minded, family oriented and know what I want. I love being with my friends and family and I'm a proud aunt of 3 nieces and would like children of my own one day. Family is very important to me and I was lucky to grow up in a loving home where my parents are still live happily married for 43 years. My grandparents were married for 69 years so I have some great role models. I know relationships are work and its important to be with someone who realizes that too and is willing to put in the work beside you.
I want someone who is... open minded, honest, outgoing, intelligent, attractive (definitely need chemistry) humorous (someone who makes me laugh as much as I make myself),sports fan,takes care of themselves physically and mentally, happy in your own skin, likes to try new things,confident but not cocky and are just as happy staying in and being low key with their loved one as you are going out on the town. I'm always up for a challenge so my ideal match would be someone who can challenge me to be a better person. I'n not interested in finding new friends or casual hook ups so if you are kindly pass me by.
In addition to how I've already described myself I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that I'm adventurous and love to travel. I recently went on a mission trip to Brazil. One of my favorite places so far has been Fiji. I prefer the beach over the snow any day, but do love a few weekends in the mountains to ski or cuddle up by the fire with a nice glass of wine. When I'm in LA I hang out with my great group of friends. I prefer a wine bar or nice dinner to the club scene.I love trying new restaurants and some of my recent favorites are the Fig and Olive and Hungry Cat. I work in medical sales and love to provide something that can help others while allowing me to be competitive at the same time. I'm a religious person,and its important to me me to find someone who is also. You don't have to believe exactly what I do, but its important to have a mutual respect for each others views.

Date someone special from Santa Monica, United States. I'm grateful for my amazing friends and family. I'm a fun loving straight shooter. I always try to get through life with an open heart and southern smile :). I would like to find a friend/lover who enjoys to laugh at themselves. Needs to enjoy music as much as I do ( if not I like a challenge to convert you ) . He should like to be outside,but also enjoys lazy days on the couch watching a hours of mindless tv. I have a great group of people in my life i like to call my friends my chosen family. Just looking forward to a fun, intersting, maybe life changing experience , or just the chance to meet someone who is a breath of fresh air. :) I'm just the girl next door I'm still good friends with my ex which means I'm an easy going person.

. I was born and raised in Chicago in a multiethnic, multi religious, multicultural family and environment. I have been loving in Los Anjealous since my move here in 2007. I have traveled to many places around the globe and I have lived in the Arab/Muslim region. I now live on the Westside of LA. PCH, the Pacific ocean, hiking and breathing one with the mountain trees.
I am super heady, observant, passionate, honest and sensitive. I can listen to most any jazz all day long. Maybe some soul, funk, afrobeat, samba, cumbia, house and punk too. As a self-trained cook, I know the secret to most people's heart and souls, their tummies!
I am currently working on an overseas sustainable development project to integrate yoga in the therapeutic setting. I teach folks to enhance their well-being and healing through holistic self-therapies like yoga and other self empowerment therapies. I am very ambitious, independent and confident. In the next 3-10 years, I will either get my phd in social work, teach at a university, own a yoga studio and/or therapeutic clinic. Maybe I will do it all!
I am very loyal, loving, giving, affectionate and a hopeful romantic. I will learn from your strengths and challenges, you as well are eager to learn from me. You are fully aware that I have challenges as well. This does not scare you. I like to be silly, play, and laugh daily but admittedly I will get frustrated if there is a lack of depth.
You are a family man, a working professional/entrepreneur, a self-proclaimed nerd, well-traveled, multi-lingual. You are emotionally mature, a great communicator, sensitive, affectionate. You like me are the REAL DEAL. You are confident, not egotistical. You like dogs but don't live with them or make out with them either. We both love the sun and warm weather. Confident in your life direction, you are connected to your inner guide and spirit, you are an intentional creator and know specifically what you want, the more detailed the better.

. After 13 years in NYC, I moved to Santa Monica a few months ago and feel incredibly lucky to be living so close to the beach and the mountains. I am happy and love to laugh. I have an amazing family and friends from every stage but some of my best friends are those from nursery and middle school. I love to travel and though I've been around the world, I know that there are so many more places to discover! I am as happy on a hike as I am getting dressed up for a fancy night out.
I am independent but appreciate companionship and I am looking for someone who is interested in the same ... someone who is happy with life but knows it will be better with someone else. Looking for a good guy, who appreciates family and has best friends who would count on him to help them move (or sign up for the annual trip). Although you work hard, you look forward to spontaneous weekend plans and a new adventure!
Simply put, I am looking for an easy going, smart and fun guy to match this easy going, smart and fun girl...
