Date men and women from United States / California / Union City, 44 year old

Date a soulmate from United States. Let's get the -apparently- important stuff out of the way first: I'm short. And I'm a little chubby.
Now that most of you have stopped reading, I can get to the things that I find to be most important about myself.
I am an educated, funny, dedicated, passionate English teacher. I enjoy reading and writing, watching movies, playing games, doing puzzles. I often win Trivial Pursuit and have been told that I could probably hold my own on Jeopardy. (I auditioned once: epic fail.) I like going to museums and parks. While I don't particularly enjoy parties and social gatherings, I do enjoy going out to dinners and shows and baseball games. I am a big baseball fan, other sports not so much, although my interest in football has waxed and waned over the years. I love going to the zoo.
I am rarely in a bad mood. In fact, I'm probably "down" about two or threw days a year, max. I have a naturally buoyant personality; I don't stay down for long. When I was younger, I used to have a hot temper, but now it is a laughable angry streak that lasts all of about 30 seconds. I don't hold grudges on little things,and when I know I am wrong, I capitulate immediately; I do not argue just to argue and win. I willingly and enthusiastically take responsibility the mistakes I make, which are too numerous too mention.
I suppose of what I am most proud is that I am a self-made man. I left home at 18 with nothing, hitchhiked through most of the Western US, worked in Alaska on a fishing boat, did stand-up comedy (terribly), had wild adventures, went back to school and finished my education, all on my own. While my family was there for moral support, I have worked for everything I have ever gotten. I have always been very proud of my independence. I suppose this has made considerably less willing to receive help from others. I am responsible, with the capacity for frugality, but I will willingly spend on things that make me happy.
I have a somewhat counter-intuitive personality as I thrive at a job in which I spend all day as the center of attention, and yet I am an introvert at my core, even though I possess the skill set of an extrovert. My students and friends often compare me to comedians and character actors, but people who know me know that I am not the wild life-of-the-party sort of person. I am a skilled story-teller and have lived a life that lends itself to that, but I only put myself out there with people I know. I have no desire to entertain a roomful of strangers, but I get great satisfaction from making my friends laugh.
I drink on only rare occasions, like a beer at a baseball game or a glass of wine with dinner or before bed, but I haven't been seriously intoxicated for over 20 years, back when I was I three days into the Alaskan wilderness with a recently-blinded friend after having been both struck by lightning and nearly shot in the same day. That experience was enough to swear off drunken wildness for the rest of my life.
My dream is to be a writer. I have ideas, but I am often hesitant when it comes to sitting down to punch out prose. I have had small pieces published here and there, but I have delusions of novels and grander works. I am always coming up with crazy ideas for stories or film scripts. I also have a knack for predicting events (and even lines) in TV series and movies. I have learned to keep my mouth shut and not spoil it for others.
I am looking for an honest, faithful, charming, loving woman, some years my junior for building a family and a future. She should enjoy hanging around the house as well as going out. She must be able to match my seriousness and desire for building a life. I enjoy joking around and being funny nearly all the time, but that masks the fact that I am very serious when it comes to my personal relationships. She must be similarly inclined. I enjoy my life very much, but I would really like someone to share it with.

Meet someone special from United States. Unfortunately with online dating we are all judged based off of two things, our profile pictures and our introductory paragraph! To our disadvantage we have the ability to judge people before having the chance to get know someone and who they truly are!?! That doesn't seem quite right. However I am going to take this time to describe myself and my situation to the best of my damn ability! LOL :) Whew, the pressure is on! Well let me start by describing myself I consider myself to be vibrant, energetic and brutally honest. My life circumstances that have allowed me to share in the experience of online dating is the fact that I am recently divorced. However I refuse to allow this one circumstance to dictate the rest of my future. I am very much looking forward to being single and being able to meet new people and share in new experiences. I think I can safely say that there is nothing that I am not willing to try at least once! I am walking into this experience with a very open mind and I refuse to clutter my profile with a long laundry list of expectations and limitations. I want to be able to get the most from this online dating experience and hopefully be able to meet a friend, companion and possibly more! So if you think that we have a thing or two in common email me, I would be happy to hear from you!...

Date a woman from United States. It's not easy to write about yourself for an online dating site without sounding conceited. Having said that, I'm laid back, warm, independent, and like to do things at a moment's notice, when it feels right. I'm also driven, determined, and good at achieving my goals. I like to look at the positive side of people and get pleasure out of simple things. I'm grateful for what I have and for my family and friends, who have enriched my life in so many ways. I like to stay present and enjoy the moment and what surrounds me and try not to live so much in my head.
I work in mental health for a non-profit agency. I love my job; I find it very rewarding and meaningful.
Some of the things I like are being in touch with nature, dancing (I love feeling the music in my body), movies, exercising, spending time with my children (teens) and friends, reading, learning, exploring new places in nature and in urban areas, attending cultural events, and spicy food, to name a few.
The kind of relationship I would like is long term and has stability, friendship, space for everything (positive and otherwise) that we both bring and for growth, both individual and as a couple. It also includes kindness, compassion, emotional responsiveness, loyalty, companionship and, of course, tons of laughter.

Meet men and women from Union City, United States. I like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain? No wait, that's a song that's playing in my head.
I'm single, happy, confident, romantic, caring and open to meeting a good man with similar values as mine, compatible, and with whom I can laugh with, share adventures, and tackle challenges together. Someone confident enough to be himself with me and the people I care most about (family and close friends), but always respectful of people's feelings and individualism as well.
Honesty, sense of humor, responsible, well balanced and not afraid to share his vulnerable side as well, but whose strength I can rely on when needed.
I, in return, believe in giving a relationship the best that I can give. I strongly believe in not going for divorce as an easy way out. I like to know I can also inspire and make my partner better or stronger when needed, and contribute to making his life rich and fulfilling
