Ranchodosburros at Y!
I made the decision to leave the rat race and consolidate and simplify my lifestyle. In order to follow my dreams, it meant leaving behind my career, family, friends. Now I am looking for like minded people/person to share my new life with!
A sense of humor and love of laughter is very important. I hope you love animals as much as I do and aren't afraid to get dirty!
And hey, I'm a great cook too!
I travelled extensively in my previous career and I have finally settled down. But I still love to keep busy and work hard. I know 95% of women might be turned off by shoveling manure at daybreak but the other 5% I'm sure would love it. This is a slice of paradise; like a private campground in Yosemite!!
A great relationship must start with a thorough understanding of the"rules of the road". Here are some of mine:
Live riteously
Love unconditionally
Laugh spontaneously
Hope always
Trust implicitly
Hug frequently
Kiss passionitely
Eat healthfully
Drink moderately
Give unselfishly
Share willingly
Speak respectfully
Listen attentively
Understand patiently
Forgive graciously
Spend sparingly
Volunteer enthusiastically
Worship freely
Communicate thoroughly
Respect continually
Play gleefully
Date a man from California, United States. I'll just leave it kinda short and sweet. In the end I'm looking for what everyone here is after, a great emotional connection filled with love, brutal honesty, strong commitment, strong character, and a hell of a lot of fun.
I chose the 'I want to date but nothing serious' option because the 'He wants to date, but is really interested in something serious with the right person so I can stop dating' option wasn't available. My perfect girl is out there somewhere, I'm not giving up hope that I'll finally meet the girl and the glass slipper in my hand will fit.
I'm crazy active with all kinds of interests, I'm definitely not a couch potato - but I like canoodling with my girl in private, home movies, home gym, pillow talk, and holding hands in public, PDA, with some really good smooching here and there. Having a meaningful connection is most important to me. Just want to be happy with someone special, not too much to ask I think. I'm in pretty damn good shape and getting better every day, working my way back into running 10k races over the summer and training for a ToughMudder event at Toronto in August, and another one in Patterson in September. I'm very easy on the eyes, a good conversationalist and easy to talk to, and I listen hard too. I'm a great kisser (tre' importante), a closet romantic, too smart for my own good sometimes, a homeowner, business owner, solid earner, a private pilot, and currently working incredibly hard on a personal growth phase. I just bought a big house and I'm trying to figure out where my decorating gene went, lol, but enjoying the struggles with updating the place, finding furniture, etc. I have 3 drop-dead gorgeous daughters and my son is the youngest, but I have the house to myself now.
My work allows me to split time between my country home on acreage and the city, so I get the best of both worlds. I tend to travel around a bit since living in the county has ended up requiring expanding my locale to be able to meet new people. Professionally I travel internationally a few times a year, Prague and Kuala Lumpur and Thailand the last couple of years. Been fulfilling a life goal of country home, city residence, vacation home in Baja and the ability to fly between them and work anywhere. Lots more to me, but we can dig into that face to face.
My ideal match? Well, to scratch the surface... She is interested in forming a great partnership, taking things slowly and taking the time to become great friends, I'm in no hurry. You are looking for a strong partner whom you can rely on (me!). I want to be with someone who doesn't need me, but wants me. You are able to stand on your own 2 feet, you are able to trust and be trusted, you say what you mean and mean what you say. You have solid character. You are unique, kinda sassy, strikingly smart, you make good decisions, and think quickly on your feet. You are really easy on the eyes, height/weight proportional and life a healthy lifestyle, enjoy being active or athletic (running, tennis, hiking, gym, etc), are competitive, and are prone to laughing easily. You have a great sense of style - personal, and decorating, and have an artistic flair. You have issues and baggage like everybody but are able to cope with life in spite of them. You seek to share a high level of honesty in a relationship. In the end though, the heart wants what the heart wants and all this will prob get thrown out the window, it's just a vision I have in my head at the moment and in the now.
But friends and dating first, need to engage my mind in order to get to my heart, but plenty of room in there. Desire to feel that knot in my stomach, difficulty in breathing, and clouded thinking when that special someone is sitting in front of me, but willing to take my time to get there and enjoy life along the way.
So, this didn't end up being so short and sweet, but it's what came out. I'd love to know more about you, hope to hear from you soon.
Meet people from California, United States. Hi,
So I've been around M.C for a while now, I've tried the heartfelt profile, but no luck. Nope, still haven't found the one. So let me just try to riff for a bit and see what comes of it.
Lot's of women seem to like "long walks on the beach". Sure, the beach can be scenic and all that, but honestly, "lwotb" don't really do it for me - the seagulls are shrieking and the kelp is rotting and the fog is pretty dismal. Give me a long challenging hike up a mountain, under a crystal blue Sierra sky, and the horizon to horizon view from the top. Yep... that's my kinda walk.
If M.C is any indication, all women want to date a comedian. Dang! I'm no jokester. My humor is kinda dry, ironic or satirical. I get off a good one liner from time to time, but the most likely way I'll make you laugh is just by showing up. I mean honestly, just look at me! I love to hear my partner laugh, and I won't mind her pointing my way from time to time either. Just do me a favor, if we connect, don't point AND laugh, at the same time!
I don't do Harley style motorcycles. Why do they have to be so friggin' loud!? What are they trying to compensate for? He's not an "outlaw". He's a middle aged guy with issues; and usually fat. Me? I'm an athlete. I ride a bicycle. They're nice and quiet, except when I'm huffing & grunting up a steep mtn, my lungs burning and my legs about to melt. My ride takes me deep into the mountains, keeps me fit and brings me closer to the earth. This year's Death Ride will be my first major "extreme" event on the road bike. Wish me luck. Do you cycle? Isn't it cool having a partner to ride with? How about bike racing? I race cyclocross and could really use a crew person and head cowbell ringer; unless of course you race too. That'd be cool! We could crew for each other! I ring a mean cowbell.
By this time next year I'm gonna be retired, after 30 years in the wildland fire service. I'm looking forward to traveling; to volunteering; to writing and reading at length, maybe some additional schooling; to growing my photography hobby; and to becoming even better at appreciating the little things in life: real beer; goofy dogs; sunsets, sunrises and the mountain views from my deck; fun music; chocolaty coffee drinks; good sex; bacon for breakfast; intelligent conversation; history museums; National Parks; mountain ranges; grilled tri-tip; a big red with dinner; and all the cool things you're into also. Your stuff, my stuff, all the big and little things, are so much more meaningful when shared. That makes for a good life.
It's a relationship I seek. With the One! A bond, that weathers all the challenges that come along, because we know how to communicate, and we're honest, and compassionate with each other. And we get it on, a lot! It's gonna be fun being together, and challenging - physically and emotionally, and in the end, totally fulfilling and totally worth the effort. 'Cause we're gonna make a great team!
My previous profile included a long list of traits I appreciate and desire in a woman. It kinda seemed like a job description. Bummer. But they reflect what's important to me, and mirror exactly what I bring to a relationship. So let me boil it down to a few really important ones: physically fit, athletically inclined; intelligent; financially secure; independent; emotionally solid & free of baggage; politically liberal; a free thinker with no need for organized religion; and a lover of dogs! Is that too much to hope for? Everybody has standards, right? Nobody wants to settle; life's too short! I know I'm not anywhere near perfect, but I'm pretty together. And I'm more than willing to make an effort to grow as a man and as a mate as needed. But the core truth is that for me, no matter who or what you are, it all starts with that spark that makes my heart skip a beat in your presence. Every time.

Date someone special from Sonora, United States. Is difficult to know someone through a few words and some photos, to know the complexities and simplicities, the dualities inherent in each human being.
I offer here a few tibits and images so a glimpse might be obtained. Best of fortune in your own efforts to meet someone especial to you.
Living in a beautiful yet rural setting, makes being open online an alluring oportunity to meet a classy gracious and easy to get along great Lady
Complex, yet uncomplicated .., an avid runner and biker that values fitness and strives for it. Positive, diverse, extremely resourceful,....... Core personality Love=Acceptance, my being reflects in my relationships with others.
Believe in serendipity/synchronicity, kind and balanced, romantic, progressive yet with old fashion values.
Is not what you have or do, rather how you move through the maze of life....
I am totally a one woman man. In hopes to meet a kindred Spirit that can become a Best Friend someday.
Not easy but possible, I hope to " click " with a lover/friend..enjoy that especial " Heart Connection " some of us had at one time or another...and enjoy travels and adventures with that especial one.
Am told I have a big Heart, it remains open...with all the accompanying risks...
Eclectic and creative, an artist in many ways, passionate, playful, explorer of mind and spirit, places, ideas, terrain, with an inquisitive and friendly nature,
Adventurer at heart, love the wildness and terrain of the Baja Penisula, fly there often.

Avid amateur photographer.
Raised my son on my own 2 till 18 and now my best friend, taught me a lot...

My word when given is solid, Integrity, a major part of who I am,
Not looking for perfection at all though, I neither offer it.. Just hoping to meet an equal, an exceptional woman and one that values her passport...if she can move her hips to the rhytm of salsa great, if not I'll show you if you like...
Fortunate to live in such great surroundings in Nature, got a sweet place high on top, in the mountains, for me and a few close friends and family where I hang my hat, home base, happy to be here / now...however I feel the calling of the Ocean and plan to be within a few years closer to it., born in an island, close to the shores the calling is noticed...
The new exciting and lucrative phase development of my company keeps me busy and focused but will always make time for a relationship.
To live in the now observing my actions and motives, being an aware/awake individual , is to me a continuing life learning process.
Having FUN, playing together, might develop into something most intimate if chemistry mutually exist.
Having been so independent for so long even in the context of past relationships, has given me time to reflect on the things that are most important in a good, healthy and lasting relationship.
This takes some work, effective communication key.
These things I believe and try to practice, although, not always successful at it, to me is work in progress. I live my Life in a thoughtful way and with consideration for others and make decisions based mostly on that.
.
Namaste
Meet single man from Sonora, United States. Not interested to woman who is high maintenance and is drama free. Searching for a woman who enjoys a drink,a laugh, "to break the ice" conversation, dancing and just having a good time.I am interested in friendship,and if there is a initiated feeling from the both of us. Then we can articulate,and express those feeling.Taking it one day at a time, I believe in honesty, I have "old school" manners and will surely give you affection. I will respect your children and care for them as if they were my own, child,teenager or young adult.
Date a man from United States. Hello, Ladies - My name is Dan and I live in Sonora. I hope the following information about me may "spark an interest" from you, and that you'll like to know more about me. I wish you ALL a pleasant Sunday afternoon this July 1, 2012. Perhaps "sparks" from any of you will land here on match.com this 4th of July 2012.
I'm easy to please, especially if communication is present. A simple phone call from the lady I'm seeing would really make my day! I enjoy the outdoors while motorcycling or driving my car on the weekends.
Now, for some more fun, I really enjoy dancing at a non-smoking dance club called Crocodiles located in Modesto, California. I also enjoy music videos (VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown) on a weekly basis.
The lady I hope to "date" should think about the open possiblity of marriage as I've never been married. At 58, I would really desire a devoted commitment of some nature, ie: a stable relationship with its "ups and downs" where things can be discussed calmly;we can work things out to avoid giving up on a "spur of the moment". Life with that "special person" needs care and nurturing to blossom. The best day of the week for me is Sunday morning when I would wake up to Casey Kasem's American Top 40 on SiriusXM satellite radio via the Dish Network. Then, I would turn on CBS News Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood. I do enjoy going out on Friday and Saturday nights. Of course, it gets lonely at times when you don't have someone you desire to share life with. I hope to meet that one special lady with whom I can share the rest of my life with, sooner than later. I do pray daily that God, and Match.com, will match me up with the lady of my dreams by then. Some dreams DO come true!
I hope that ALL hopeless romantics will meet their "soul mate".
If I'm grateful for anything, it's the life I've been blessed with up to this point in my life, with praise to Jesus our savior.
Match.com has extended my "membership" through the end of October 2012, because I hadn't "met" a lady during my 6 months of a "paid membership."
