Date men and women from United States / California / Sherman Oaks, 50 year old

Date single man from California, United States. I would prefer someone who is on the same page as I am. I work out 2-3 times a week, but have always been health concious with my eating although every once in a while, a good burger always taste great.
I am very close with my mother and family at large. 15 of us in my immediate family. Love it, but they all live out of state.
I know that no matter where we meet people from be it a web site, an introduction, or meeting at the grocery store, it is all about connecting. I am very traditional and know what sort of woman would make me the happiest. I love the outdoors, drives, hiking, the ocean and I really like being around people I care about - family and great friends. I would do just about anything to make them happy and of course a lot of my happiness comes from helping others and how I was raised.
I am a solid guy who knows what he wants in life and with a partner. I don't want just a girlfriend, I want a future. It takes a minute with little thought to start a conversation, it takes less than a minute to push on to the next guy, but then you might of given up too easy in taking a gamble, that might just pay off!
I would love to be in love, but I understand on how building the right friendship and foundation is key to any great relationship.
Yes I am 50, but a young one for that, and know there is so much life left in me and would love to share it with someone who makes me happy. Plain and simple.

Meet men and women from California, United States. I'm a big believer that one's age is more about your outlook on life and how you take care of yourself and others than it is about how many times the earth has circled the sun. I have been around long enough to know what I want, to achieve a position in life to reach for it, but young enough in mind and spirit to enjoy the adventure. I guess you could say that I have grown older but not grown up as I am still looking to have fun and find someone to have it with.
I like to consider myself a true modern day Renaissance man. I'm self motivated and successful, my own boss, creative with a good sense of humor, adventure and fun. I can cook a romantic candlelight dinner for two or throw a party for 150 in my backyard. I can fly a plane, rebuild an engine, build a house (very handy with tools) read a map, work in the garden, scuba dive and ski. I seem to be adept at a lot of things or know at least enough about them to be dangerous. I enjoy spending time with someone special but realize that everyone needs some time to themselves now and then.
I like to work hard but it's a means to and end so I make sure to take time to play and enjoy life. Traveling the world and exploring new places is one of my passions, both historical locations (Rome, Paris, Egypt, China) and some fun in the sun (Brazil, Mexico, Tahiti, Caribbean) I am looking for someone I can laugh and share the world with. Someone who offers my mind a challenge and wants a home life with family and friends but also wants to travel to exotic places, laughing and enjoying our time spent together and sharing the adventure of life.
I've been fortunate in my life to have gone to many wonderful places and done fantastic things and hope that life will allow me to do more, but what I have learned is that without the right person to share them with, that's all they are - places and things. Some of the best times in my life have been found in doing the mundane everyday things of life, like cooking dinner, going to the grocery store or running to the bank. With the right person, somehow the mundane things can seem like a great adventure
I'm looking for someone with a shared sense of adventure, a good sense of humor and looking to have fun. Someone that can find the spirit of adventure in anything. A true partner in what we do. Someone who knows that life's a journey and it's too short to not take time to laugh at the world or oneself. She should be willing to try new things and enjoys experiencing the world for all it has to offer and not expecting everywhere to be just like home. Someone who is enough like me to have common ground but different enough to keep it interesting and to challenge me. Honesty and loyalty are important to me - having prior experience with those who were not. Passion is a big plus. Someone who knows when to take something serious but won't die of embarrassment when caught off guard. I've reached the point in my life where I have a fairly good idea of who I am looking for but it isn't cast in stone. It's hard to get to know someone from just a paragraph or two, but if I don't seem to answer your email or wink, it may be that I just don't think that we would be a good match.
I'm looking for someone who is looking for the same. Someone who wants to have fun. Does this sound like you?

Meet a man from California, United States. I'm a fun loving, grown-up big kid at heart, and I work to live, not the other way around. I love exotic travel as well as little get-away trips. I keep in shape and have a healthy life style. If you're looking for someone who is smart, sensual and can definitely make you laugh, i hope you consider responding. i think good communication is the key to a great relationship. I see a lot of drama in my work life, so i try to minimize it in my personal life. Of course chemistry is important and sexy kissers move to the top of the list!I want to meet someone who has left most of the baggage at the airport. Hopefully you're as attractive on the inside as you are on the outside. Having a sense of humor and a desire to travel are essentials, and for the rest, let's see what happens.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Sum up the entirety of myself plus convince you I am the greatest/sexiest guy ever in fewer than 1,000 words – sure piece of cake :)
I’m a happy person who tries my best to give life and others the benefit of the doubt in most situations.
I grew up Texas so have a bit of a different slant on life and relationships than your typical "LA Guy" - manners and consideration are an ingrained habit not an affectation :)
While LA sometimes drives me crazy, not sure I could live anywhere else. Love getting out in the evenings for walks with my dog Lucy. Enjoy hitting the road down to Malibu for a day lounging on the beach or tooling into the hills for a leisurely hike.
Don’t have any kids but am child friendly – I like them and they like me guess because I’m still a big kid at heart.
Not a bleeding heart but do spare a buck or two now and then for people in a worse situation than me - my life has had its ups and downs and so I know what it is to win and to lose in life’s game. I have a comfortable life – not rich, not poor. Have great friends and family - all things money can’t buy.
I’d like to get off the dating merry-go-round and meet someone who wants the same things I do – a partner to share life’s joys, someone who enjoys and cherishes me as much as I do them, someone to bring breakfast in bed to on a Sunday morning...
I'd love to find some one who enjoys getting out and can have fun doing even the simple day-to-day stuff. Going to farmers market, taking a long walk with the pooch and me and talking and sharing a laugh or two. Some one who also feels comfortable throwing on something beautiful and heading out to a great dinner and a play or a concert. I'm not a party-guy / club hopper but don't mind getting out on the town every now and then.
I do understand some women are very particular and have their rules and "must have" criteria (I'm selective as well) and if I’m just outside your age range or not your type that's cool no harm no foul – but if I'm in the ballpark hope you’ll exchange an email or two or better yet agree to talk before making up your mind based on something that doesn't quite hit all your criteria.

Date single man from United States. Someone who loves to travel and takes care of herself. I dont mind if she has one or two children.

Meet men and women from United States. After checking out dating sites at the very least I can expect to meet new and interesting people. But you never know - the "one" for me and the "one" for you may very well be found here. My perfect match would obviously be female. She would be accepting of me as I am, as I would be of her. She would like and care about animals. She would be active but not necessarily a tri-athlete. She would have a certain amount of domesticity (as I do myself). She would know how to be nice in a sometimes not-so-nice world. Though she may live in LA, she will be able to look past all the glitz and glamour at the simple things which really are what can make life special.

Date someone special from United States. I DO: laugh daily, remember birthdays, ask questions, tip well, watch The Daily Show, try to make a difference, dream in color, see live music, eat healthy, make eye contact, recycle, draw.
I DON'T: wear a long sleeve t-shirt *under* a short sleeve t-shirt, use baby-talk, watch Fox News, hunt, feel that "good enough" is good enough, wear eyeliner (anymore) or whine.
I AM: creative, loyal, confident, liberal, imperfect (and okay with that), persistent, authentic, passionate, handy with tools, quick with a comeback, caffeine-free and a home-owner.
I AM NOT: conventional, sedentary, judgmental (except in traffic), glass-half-empty, on anti-depressants.
YOU ARE: sharp, caring, funny, eclectic, creative, down-to-earth, too smart for your own good, march to the beat of your own drummer. You also rock.
WE WILL: have adventures, make meals, learn something new, flip down the tag on the other's collar, see something and laugh because it reminds us of that thing that happened that time...

Meet a man from United States. I no longer am a member. To contact me, e-mail mad beast at road runner dotted kom (remove the ted, change the k to a c and slam it all together. You get the idea.)
To describe myself isn’t a likable chore;
In fact, it's just a lamentable bore.
To make this moronic task seem even worse;
I’m going to try it in dubious verse.
I’ll avoid the cliches that you see in these things;
That my friends think of me as an angel with wings.
Or I like to travel all over in style;
Travel is great; but just once in a while.
I want a sweet lady who I think is groovy;
Who I can drink wine with and go to a movie.
But surface diversions aren’t my final goal;
I want a life-mate who can see in my soul.
But how do you tell from a lame Match profile
Who is a jackass and who is worthwhile?
The first step to starting out on this trail
Is to send me a clever and charming e-mail.
Or if you are stopping by here just to see
After getting a welcoming greeting from me;
If I’m worth taking costly time to reply
I can tell you with confidence that I’m your guy.
But everyone tries to paint themselves well
As they put themselves through this Match profile hell.
Just what is so gosh-darned unique about me
Besides owning an old rhyming dictionary?
I really love doing some things that are arty;
A gallery show and a wine after-party.
A night at the theatre’s great bill of fare,
I love some Shakespeare or the plays of Moliere.
Not that my interests are all hoidy-toidy;
That would be – shall we say – quite hemorrhoidy.
Riding my bike can be just as much bliss,
across Santa Barbara, or even Venice.
To make you keep reading this seems like abuse;
I’m starting to feel like a lame Doctor Seuss.
I hope that I’m not just a waste of your time
by hiding behind some sophomoric, glib rhyme.
I can’t reveal the heart of my mystery
Summing me up with an X-Y and Z.
Nor would I ever expect it of you
To just give me the keys to your own mental zoo.
Intimacy is a flower that grows
As we share our affection, our triumphs and woes.
True birds of a feather will never take flight
From a few awkward lines on an Internet site.
For now this is all I will try to reveal
And hope it’s enough to have you seal the deal.
I’ll add just one thing (in case you don’t know it),
I clearly am not all that great of a poet.
