Date women from United States / California / Simi Valley, 51 year old

Date someone special from Simi Valley, United States. ME: My closest friends would say I own who I am. I admit my faults and try to work on them, try but don't always succeed. I laugh at myself more than anyone else and never take myself too seriously.
I'm simple, and quiet until I get to know you. Once I do, good luck shutting me up (just kidding). I love small parties ( 6-12) with a good group of people I enjoy. I'm not much on big social events. However, my career usually makes me one of the most interesting people at a party. I'll tell you why later.
I'd rather be in my backyard enjoying a peaceful evening, watching a movie, taking a sunset walk on the beach, wine tasting, or at a coffee shop having great conversation, than out partying all night. I love to travel. Italy, Hawaii, and Armenia being my most favorite places in the world.
My favorite movie is "The Ugly Truth", a must see for anyone in the dating scene especially anyone dating me. Love that movie because it's so true.
I'm passionate about God and this wonderful life he has blessed me with. However, I consider religion a personal matter and don't wear it on my sleeve or force it on others. I am passionate about my culture ( Armenian), my family, and my career. I have so much to be grateful for. I had the greatest parents anyone could have asked for. I have a career I truly enjoy, and a comfortable life. But I feel most blessed for having the most amazing and kind hearted child.
Him: My ideal match would be someone confident but not arrogant, educated but not an intellectual snob. He may wear a suit during the day but he is in jeans and a T-shirt when he is home and doesn't mind fixing things ( but must have well groomed hands and feet). He is comfortable camping as much as he is at a fancy hotel in Europe. He's smart, but not a know it all who takes over conversations and makes it all about him. He is a gentleman but has a fun side and loves to laugh. He adores his parents, family, and kids. If he's a dad, he's a great dad. He's attractive but can be rugged. He is a terrific conversationalist, who loves to cook, take sunset walks on the beach, loves to have coffee and talk for hours, and enjoys wine tasting at central and northern California. He is even tempered, with no drama, no games, no push and pull. He's old fashioned in terms of chivalry but contemporary in terms of respecting me as a woman, a professional, and his equal. He's generous to a fault and never cheap.

Meet a soulmate from Simi Valley, United States. While I admit to being irreverent at times, I consider myself to be a thoughtful and loving woman. My friends describe me as loyal, wise and funny. Laughter and lightheartedness play an essential role in my everyday life. I am a dedicated mom of three grown children and am blessed to have a very close and supportive relationship with them.
For the last couple of years, I have been focused on completing my coursework for my PhD in Clinical Psychology and am now "supposedly" writing my dissertation (I really need to get crackin'). I have achieved success in my chosen career and am looking for a man who has also made his mark on the world.
I love to travel, preferably without an itinerary. I'm not one to plan everything down to the smallest detail. I usually set my sights on the big picture and let the details rise up to meet me. After all, isn't it about the journey, not the destination?
I consider myself spiritual, but not in a woo-woo, new-agey way. I believe that there is a power at work in my life that is greater than little ol' me. And whatever that power is, IT has a wicked sense of humor! It is my intention to view the world of a lens of kindness and compassion and I seek to surround myself with people who have a similar lens.
The sure-fire way to my heart is by making me laugh. Preferably the side splitting, rolling on the floor kind.

Date a woman from Simi Valley, United States. I am low key, no drama kind of girl. I love spending time with my family. I like quiet nights at home, I love rainy Sundays watching Football and taking naps at halftime. I like the beach at night more then in the daytime. I would rather take your $5.00 playing poker then you take mine....I am a little bit competitive. I would rather cook for you then have you spend tons of money on dining out. I am totally into politics and have a strong opinion on the current state of things. I would rather see my tax money feed children then go to oil companies.....you get the drift......I would rather watch a good action/thriller/comedy then a romantic movie....not really my thing......I do like romance just not in my movies.....ah yes and Chivalry please don't tell me it is dead! You open my car door and I will lean over and open yours.....Respect is the key. What am I looking for? Pretty simple really.....I will know when I have found it. However there a few characteristics I find very charming, a clever,sarcastic sense of humor, a man that is stoic....not big on complainers. Confidence a huge turn on.....bitter about your past a huge turn off....someone that is slow to anger, yet stands their ground when necessary. Please have game......sweet pillow talk is a little creepy to me.....just keep it real and its all good... :)
I have 3 amazing children ( 20, 22, 27 ) two still live at home, one lives away. They are my favorite people on this planet. I have the home that all their friends hang out at. Any given day of the week you will find 5-6 of their friends here. They all call me mom and I love it. By the way there are 6 young men, all ready, willing, and able to kick the butt of anyone that is not good to me :) Actually it was my kids that put me on Match. I guess they just want me out of the house more :)
I am new to this whole internet dating thing....I figure it is just a way of introducing yourself. I am the kind of female that can carry on a pretty decent conversation from Football to Politics..... I am the kind of female that most men take a second look at....just being honest not conceited.If I read your profile and think you are cute, hot, or whatever else may cross my mind ..... if I know I am not the kind of girl you are looking for I wont make a move...but if I read your profile and I am really good at reading between the lines...and I do wink at you then I already know there may be potential. But thinking someone is cool and taking that next leap....well that is two totally different things and I am wise enough to know the difference.
If you have tattoos a big plus! Also the size of your paycheck is about as relevant to me as the color of your eyes....If you have a great job and make 150,000 a year kudos to you. But an awful lot of you guys seem to make an awful lot of money in a down economy just sayin, I care about who you are as a person and how you treat others. I have my own money and seriously not all that interested in yours. If you are the type that wants to swim with sharks go ahead I dont want to be bait.....if you want to jump out of planes go ahead I will keep my feet planted firmly on the ground.......That is why you have your guy friends right?
Oh yeah! the picture is current taken this week. I have heard not all pictures that people post on here are current, which is a tad bit odd since you may actually meet someone in person on here right? Just sayin!
I will get more pics up soon......seems as if you guys may need to see more.....you are visual creatures ; ) After All.
Best of luck to everyone......

A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart. I believe that kind of friendship is a good foundation for a lasting love....Ultimately, I want a best friend, lover, and partner within a monogamous and committed relationship.I believe we should appreciate our differences and celebrate each others positives, only then, can two people start to build a beautiful bond.
I hope to find the shoulder that I will lay my head upon and be home for good.

I think my friends would say that I am a very happy and upbeat person and that I am anything but cynical (I do live in the real world. but will always have faith in people).

Meet a soulmate from United States. I never thought I'd be doing this, but I'm excited to see where this can go.
Who I am: I'm a positive person with a friendly, playful, fun, outgoing personality. I'm confident in who I am and have a passion for life. I'm happy to try new things and see where it takes me. I'm very affectionate and would love to make that special someone very happy. I love my family and friends and have 2 incredible boys that mean the world to me. I consider myself successful and have a great career that I love. I'm looking to find someone to enjoy a drama free life with who makes me laugh, a great friend, wonderful partner, travel companion and passionate lover. It's not all about looks, but HAVE to be attracted to be in love.
My boys are grown and are now starting their own amazing new life adventures and careers so I can pretty much just pick up and go anytime. I love the outdoors from the coast to the mountains, weekend getaways, day trips, travel, 5star hotels, camping, hiking, wine tasting, BBQs, sporting events (going or watching), unplanned adventures. I can dress up or dress down and be perfectly comfy in jeans and a T shirt. I live in heels yet I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty or my hair wet.
Who am I looking for: That one special guy that knows what he wants and is ready for a passionate loving relationship. I look forward to meeting someone and feeling that amazing connection physically, emotionally and intellectually with someone who is spontaneous, passionate, unselfish, kind and considerate, silly witted, successful, is my favorite part of everyday...a partner who knows the true meaning of being in a relationship based off of trust, honesty, compassion and love. Someone who has a zest for an adventure or is content just staying in pampering each other, cooking together (although you'll do most of the cooking) watching a movie or snuggling on the sofa enjoying each others company.
My hope is to fall in love with my best friend...not rush into anything or lose a friend along the way. You can't rush life. I'm pretty much an open book..what you see is what you get...the rest you'll have to find out yourself.
