Date men and women from United States / California / Sunnyvale, 47 year old

Date men and women from Sunnyvale, United States. Single dad , some would dare to say intelligent . You won't find an easier going guy than me . As for fun I like the races, motorcycle riding ( I don't go fast anymore), really fast roller coasters, snow skiing,I haven't done skydiving yet ,but have done bungee jumping a few times, going to various gambling establishments that dot the countryside even though I'm not much of a gambler, going to festivals: art wine, music, etc., or just getting away on a road trip.
My perfect match would a truly nice lady, someone who knows who she is and didn't forget where she came from, everybody came from something and it's nothing to be ashamed of. I admire someone who is confident and can project , and not be an arrogant $%#@ about it.
The usual suspects mostly turn out to be just nose-in-the-air-fakes who end up showing "colors" when it "hits the fan" so to speak.
I don't like alcoholics, closet or otherwise, had one and will not have one around my kids again.
If that is too blunt, good luck in your search and thanks for seeing my profile. Life is too wonderful to spend it with the wrong person, it only robs you of happiness that you work for and is bad for your children.
Please don't put up a front, I might be from a small town but, I learn quick and being "country dumb" has its' advantages!

Meet someone special from Sunnyvale, United States. Ideas, creativity, humor, and connection inspire me. I am hooked on nature and on my dog. Close friends and family are always a big presence.
People that I am drawn to value introspection, compassion, a healthy lifestyle, and a social conscience. They are being their full selves as mush as possible. They tend to be comfortable in their own skin, are playful, are good communicators, have a sense of humor, integrity, kindness, and a network of friends.
My schedule is fairly flexible right now, out of choice. I have time to explore new things and enjoy others.
Gregarious, goofy and playful describe me. Also analytical. I enjoy discussing anything from science, to the arts, to politics, to favorite quotes from Seinfeld.
I grew up in a family full of progressives, activists, academics, psychologists, feminists, and creative types, which has all greatly influenced my values and outlook.
Assumptions and conventions you will often see me questioning.
To me, money is best invested in experiences versus things.
People I especially admire are those who make a difference in their daily lives, even if it's just in small ways.
Life is too short to waste on things that do not feed my soul:)

Date men and women from Sunnyvale, United States. I am easy going, down to earth, kind and honest, funny among close friends. I am shy in a large group, I am quite comfortable in a group of three or four. I love living in California. I am totally comfortable being where I am now. I've traveled a few states and different countries. California is the place I always want to come back to. I like Friday night the best, I can relax and eat whatever I want. On a typical saturday, I sleep until 8am or 9am and go to my gym. For me, friends and family are very important. I like to learn new things. I've taken many different classes in the past. Nothing really sticks to me. I hope to find one great passion before I die. Taking piano lessons, learning how to make home made pasta, skydiving, running a charity marathon, volunteering at a animal shelter, traveling to Spain,Turkey, New Zealand, U.K., south America, are my current bucket list.
I am looking for a person who has similar values (compassion, trustworthy,and integrity), loves dogs, likes a long walks and easy hiking. I am hoping to meet with someone that I can trust and also I can have fun with (exploring new places, restaurants, concerts, opera, musical, live music, art galleries, and etc).

Date a woman from Sunnyvale, United States. Hi, thanks for stopping by :) I'm a genuine, quality, classy, Christian lady, looking for that special man who has what it takes to capture my heart. I don't fall in love easy - just how God made me, but my heart is open; for the right man, I'm very receptive. My life is rich w/love of family, friends, goals, activities. I desire to eventually find an equal partner (physically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally) to share it with. And I know you are out there. :) Like me, you have a positive outlook on life, live life to the fullest, & know how to have fun (I love NASCAR, boating, traveling, camping, movies and adventure. Zip-lining & climbing a rock wall are on my list!) Like me, you're comfortable in any setting. I know how dress up and enjoy theatre, formal parties, etc., but also know how to relax and throw on jeans and a t-shirt and hang out. You enjoy humor because I love to laugh until I cry - a lot! :) Good conversation is a turn on. I've had it asked of me, am I more like Ginger or Maryann? The answer is - both! Win over Maryann w/your mature character, be rewarded with Ginger. :) The men I admire most are those who live by the Golden Rule, seek to be the best man God created them to be, who make honesty, authenticity, kindness, and integrity the cornerstone of their lives. In their business, family, and friends, you're the man everyone looks to, to get the honest opinion, you're the one they trust and respect. If you're this kind of man, I want to hear from you because that's the kind of man who I can make feel like a king every morning and night. I understand what it's like to be a man in the world and I don't want to be another "job" for you. I want to be your harbor at the end of the day, your safe/happy place, your companion, friend, lover, champion and your inspiration to be your best self as YOU see it unfolding before you. I'm confident and assertive but not in an intimidating way and I look for the same in a partner. I'm passionate about love, while in-control when it comes to managing my life. I'm also comfortable w/relinquishing control to those who have earned my trust. I work hard to be my best, healthiest self inside & out; I want to continuously grow as a person w/a strong man by my side to grow w/me. I'm an extroverted introvert: when IРІР‚в„ўm safe with you, my personality feels free to shine but sometimes I need alone time to recharge. I was painfully shy as a child but have grown into a very confident woman. I love the ocean and all kinds of music. They nourish my soul & make my heart sing. (I'm a singer working on my first CD & a writer working on my first Book.) Ever walk into a home met by the aroma of freshly baked cookies? Nothing like my chocolate chip, butterscotch, oatmeal cookies! I'm not looking for perfection but would be happiest with an intelligent, sexy, educated, romantic, attractive man whom I can respect, admire and adore. I don't have a "type" per se, but IРІР‚в„ўm attracted to very masculine, manly-men. Tom Selleck is still hot lol. Warm eyes and smile, hair my fingers can enjoy, and a manly voice spark physical chemistry, but in truth, itРІР‚в„ўs the quality of heart that draws me in for keeps. During the day, I expect you to go out and conquer - you will have my wind at your back. If you need to work late, I promise I wonРІР‚в„ўt shrivel up and cry. Do your thing and do it well! Then, when you have taken care of business, come take me out, make me laugh, tell me your truth w/out fear & I will make you feel like that king every day of your life. Although we will enjoy all the wonderful time we spend together, I'm someone who values my woman friend time and know that men need their men time too. I may push you out the door because I want you to have your freedom to be a guy with the guys. The warmth will still be there when you get home. I'm a deep well of treasure & the right man who will truly cherish that gift won't be sorry.

Meet people from California, United States. I'm fun, fit, happy, and super high energy. I am a physician and work part time so have plenty of time for enjoying life and having fun. I don't have kids (other than those with fur) but enjoy them. I also love to travel, read, go wine tasting, hang out with friends, and drive my convertible to Santa Cruz, Napa, San Francisco, and Carmel. I love dogs but don't have one. I work out twice a week with my personal trainer (who seriously kicks my you know what) and do cardio several times a week so am looking for someone who enjoys fitness and a healthy lifestyle. I was happily married for a long time and thus do better with someone with a significant relationship history (previously married or live in girlfriend). I looking for a fun, fit, happy, liberal guy who is emotionally and financially settled and who is seeking a long term relationship. Baggage must fit in the overhead compartment. I've dated Republican men without luck (sorry, but it's just a very different way of looking at the world) so if you're a fan of Romney, the Bush clan, or Reagan, please just delete this match. Good sense of humor is a must because I love to laugh!
If you're interested, drop me a quick e-mail and I promise to respond if you're a good mach (please have a head shot and a body shot - much appreciated!). Good luck with your search and have a great day!

Date someone special from California, United States. I like to keep active with outdoors activities, cultural arts, entertaining friends and family with good meals and conversations, etc. I am a happy person; not based on a certain set of circumstances, but based on a certain set of attitudes.
I used to work in high tech, but after a lay off a few years ago, I made a career change spurred by a passion. I enjoy my work immensely, but life balance and self care are important. I am blessed to have a son whose journey has inspired my career. He provides me with a daily sense of wonder. Aside from being an active mom, I enjoy inline skating, ice skating, hiking, exploring the world we live in and more. My newest adventure has been into the world of Cub Scouting. My friends are my local family as I've known them through so much of life's journey and my biological family is scattered all over the world, literally.
I'm looking for an honest, easy-going man who is secure with himself, can convey his feelings freely and enjoys the simple things. Laughter and hugs must be comfortable and daily. Direct communication is appreciated.
Summer is upon us and it's time for outdoor music venues, So far in the free music at the parks in the area we've found The Family Crest, Volifonix and Blue Oyster Cult. I'm sure there will be many more in the weeks ahead. Summer also brings a few camping trips and travels to visit friends like family and family like friends. What are you looking forward to doing?

Meet men and women from California, United States. I love to laugh and think life is too short not to try and see the lighter side of things as often as possible. I value my friends and family, and consider my two dogs part of the family. I have a great respect for nature and beautiful places. Favorite vacation spots would include anywhere warm and tropical. I love living here in California, where there is so much to do and explore and there is no shortage of spectacular scenery.
I would like to find someone who has integrity, is pretty down to earth and has a great sense of humor...I would only be interested in a relationship that has some depth and meaning.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. i say i am active. blessed, capable, diverse, evocative, fun, gracious, heart-full, intuitive, joyful, kind, loyal, maximizing. noble ('cause that's what my name means!), obvious, passionate, questioning, resourceful, simple, transparent, ubiquitous, valuing, whole, x (as in open), yearning, zealous to live alive!
i enjoy lots of things outside - i've lived in santa cruz/santa cruz mountains for most of the last 20 years, and still get to the beach with my pup at least twice a month. i get out for a hike most weekends - we're so fortunate to live in the bay area, so many beautiful spaces to play. and then farmers markets are so much fun to enjoy on the weekends, too - and inspire yummy meals! i enjoy cooking - and especially love to cook together, with great music and wine. i bought and put together a nice bbq last year - i'm looking forward to experimenting with that this spring and summer.
i'm into doing new things lately - my life list, i call it. i start a billiards class next week, i've recently finished a photoshop class. i got my motorcycle license awhile ago now, but sadly haven't ridden since... (what is on your life list?) and, at the same time, i regularly savor time laughing with my friends and family, yoga, dancing, reading my kindle, playing the piano, random acts of kindness...
i usually share my skills in an executive role at a high-tech company - and appreciate the success i have in this part of my life. and, my work is in balance now. it used to be a big part of how i defined myself, and not so much anymore. i've got priorities. ;)
i was with my ex-husband for 13 years, we divorced in 2003. i've been in a 5 year relationship since, that ended in late 2009 - i haven't met anyone special to me since then. as an HR professional, the workplace is NOT ideal for meeting people (lol), and i don't know about you, but i'm not meeting a lot of SINGLE people my age out-and-about... so, here we are.
who are you? someone who shares the same and different passions, who laughs with me and about the silly things we do, who balances me and challenges me, who strives for a big life. you enjoy success in what you do. you are intellectually capable and curious, and yet savor the simple things life offers... how about you tell me?
