Date someone special from Union City, United States. Again with this robot and its demands! Now I must describe myself and my ideal match to proceed. Grrrr!
What?
There's a 200 character minimum? Are you serious, robot?
Really?
That wasn't 200 characters? How about now?
Meet people from California, United States. Thanks for spying my profile in the jetsam orbiting the match.com dating circus.
Since your time is likely in short supply, I will aim to be brief with the hope that if my brand of insanity is intriguing you'll email me questions :-)
However, first a disclaimer: apologies if my profile is less grandiose than others, but there's no deception here: what you read is what you get. (That's just how I roll -- and what I seek.)
I have been accused of being a perfectionist, but in truth I am merely a particular sort who believes anything worth one's time is worth one's all. I am conscientious, assiduous, tenacious, unfailingly disciplined, and firmly believe that no challenge is too great given enough care, time, and effort. Unlike most engineers, I enjoy writing, can speak comfortably to crowded rooms, have reasoned thoughts on more than MHz, and have a deep appreciation for aesthetics, minimalism, and order (yes, I am a neat freak -- but if you're not, that's totally okay). I eat with care, exercise at least an hour a day, and strive to take excellent care of myself. I am forever humbled and awed by the world around me -- and consequently driven to constantly improve. Above all, I am deeply principled, honest even when it works against me, and pride myself on my integrity. While of that likely makes me sound all business and no fun, in truth I absolutely revel in the absurdities that permeate everyday life.
As for what I seek in a match, there are only a handful of non-negotiables: integrity, intellect, kindness, open-mindedness, and a resolute moral compass. Of course, mutual physical attraction is also key -- as is a willingness to offer long-term commitment in the fullness of time. Going further, my ideal match would be confident yet humble, independent but considerate, creative yet pragmatic, driven but patient, and precise without being pedantic. Speaking of precise: call me old-fashioned and a wee bit mad, but few things are sexier than an expressive woman with impeccable spelling, punctuation, and grammar :-)
Hmm -- that doesn't begin to cover it, yet this has already become a screed.
I'd be happy to share more -- just drop me a line.
P.S. I can't bring myself to "wink" or send scattershot "nice profile" emails, so if a message from me landed in your inbox, it means I truly felt that we'd spark.
Date people from Union City, United States. I have a full life, but I easily make space for the people I care about. I'm both a college instructor and student. So between work and full-time school it's a full calendar.
My hobbies include going to the gym, social dancing (Blues mostly), motorcycle riding, experiencing culture (restaurants, art galleries, live shows, etc...), and socializing with friends.
-----------------------------------------
Traveling: In 2010 I spent 30 days backpacking through southern Europe. These days I get my travel fix by combining it with motorcycling. I ride solo through the Baja dirt every year for 5-7 days. (see Pics)
Fitness & Activity: I run 1 or 2 half marathon's a year and I just signed up for an Olympic length triathlon. While I do like to get out, I can be content to involve myself with things around the home. I consider myself pretty well-balanced in that sense.
Food & Drink: I belong to a winery! I love to eat healthy. Though someone once described me as "a fat kid in a skinny kid body". I LOVE pastries.
Character: A quick poll of friends has defined me as: "Hilarious, outgoing, smart, honest, funny, life-of-the-party, caring, compassionate, patient, honorable, sensual, thought-provoking, articulate, engaging, interesting, bold, and charming." I felt quite humbled when they were talking about me, but nobody mentioned that word.. hmm. ;-) I can be a big dork sometimes.
Random facts: I don't own a TV. Music is an important part or my life. Politically speaking, I’m a passionate Moderate. I’m Socially liberal, Fiscally conservative, and lean towards Libertarian ideals.

Date someone special from Union City, United States. Hello, thanks for reading my profile. I'm a (mostly) down-to-earth guy, relaxed, but confident and driven. I love traveling, bbq, laughing, rooting for my favorite teams, playing golf, long romantic sunset walks on the beach and all those things that other people write in their profile. I have a sarcastic streak, but not because I think it is cool (like all the kids) but because I love the little ironies in life. I enjoy reading even if I don't make nearly enough time for it. I have a geek streak. (That streak can extend to technology, cheesy management books, beer, trivia, music and whatever is the topic of the moment.) People often confuse my pet peeves with snobbishness. (For example, if you cannot spell (use the damn spell check!) or communicate with decent grammar...I'm probably not your guy.) If you improperly use punctuation, and know why that might be funny considering the last sentence, you might be my kind of girl. Now, I'm not saying I'm all roses here. (Although I do enjoy the look on someones face when they get them unexpectedly.) There are all kinds of things wrong with me. I'm rabid about my college sports teams. I tend to think out loud. I sometimes laugh at my own jokes, not because I think I'm that great, but because I have a bit of a jester in me. Waking up at 5am to play golf actually makes sense to me. I also have a tendency to ramble. ;) My match would be intelligent, witty, with a great laugh and smile. (If you have that and pretty eyes, I'm probably already sucker for you.) You have to be willing to dish it to out, because frankly, sometimes, I get too big for my britches and need to be reeled in. You must love music (I'm an 80's music child), be open to new things and places, enjoy finding hole-in-the-wall restaurants and generally not take yourself too seriously. Hopefully you enjoy traveling and seeing the world (or are interested in doing so), and when that rare day of rain occurs, you'd be willing to sit and read a book while listening to the raindrops. I make lots of weird references, so patience is important. (It is acceptable to roll your eyes as long as you put up with me.) Extra points if you're tall, like sports, live music and museums. Ethnicity is unimportant, emotionally stable - low drama attitude is.
Meet a soulmate from Union City, United States. I am a successful businessman and a single father going through a separation. My last relationship lasted 9 1/2 years, we are living apart, and now i am just seeing who is out there is single as well!
Date people from California, United States. Hello there, thanks for looking through my profile. If you see me slipped and fall "heiny" first would you laugh at me or laugh with me and would you help me get up? If you see me hit a pole, tripped and fall face first, would you laugh at me or laugh with me and call for help? On a more serious side, I'm mainly here in search of my lifelong best friend/partner/future wife/love of my life who will get into a serious, meaningful, and long-term relationship with me. Considering there's a connection/chemistry/spark between us, then we'll be off to a great start of friendship based on honesty, sincerity and loyalty. While we get to know more of each other, we will have tons of adventures/fun, laughs, travels, that will slowly turn into a promising relationship. Then when our friendship develops, it will grow into a bigger, better, and more serious relationship. It will eventually lead into marriage, starting a family, taking care of a family, tons more of adventures/fun, laughs, travels and most importantly lifetime of honest, loyal, passionate, romantic partnership.
If you were to ask my family and friends to describe me, they'll tell you that I'm a respectful, down to earth, loyal, humble, honest, patient, open-minded, genuine, adventurous, reserve at times, responsible, spontaneous, hopeful, and a hardworking person. I envision my life being similar to a glass that's always half-full. I like to have a balance in my life, I work hard enough so I can afford my lifestyle and at the same time so I can have a nice relaxation and recreation. I could be funny at times as well as be serious when necessary. Life is too short to be too serious. We are not always certain that we will be here tomorrow at all times, so I live my life to the fullest everyday, as if it can be my last day. I don't judge a book by its cover, it's the meaningful content that matters to me. I have great interests in learning diverse cultures as well. I don't take things for granted. I'm grateful for my family who are always there for me and closest friends who gives me advices to help me cope with life's problems. My parents have been married for 44 years and counting. They had raised and taught me a lot, and a few of them are my never ending respect and patience with people in general, as well as being extra patient while dealing with life problems. I hope to find the right woman who will be loyal to me,who will be there with me through good or bad times in life,for the same amount of years as my parents marriage or maybe even longer.
I have a passion for modified, performance, or tuned cars and trucks. I myself have a modified import car and a slightly tuned truck. I like going to car or truck shows, car meets, and auto drag racing. I'm in the management and sales/marketing field. I also do real estate and am very passionate about it. I like to visit other places for adventure and travelling. I can be content with just a road trip, whether it be local or long distance on the weekends.
The woman I'm looking for, well, it will be nice if we have a lot of things in common, but I have an open-mind, so she doesn't have to have similar beliefs, interests, and traits as I have. As long as we both can respect and admire our own beliefs, interests, and traits then that's what really matters. Most important of all is that, she would love me for who I am, she would show that she cares about me, be honest and loyal to me, the same way that I would be, and would do for her at all times. She can be promised that I would respect her, along with her beliefs and interests, will always be honest, loyal and have tons of laughs, adventures, travels and would learn to grow old together with her until the rest of our lives. This is all for now, if all of these sounds interesting and meaningful to you please let me know. I appreciate your time in reading my profile. I look forward in hearing from you and best of luck to you as well.
Meet someone special from California, United States. World traveler, out going fellow would like to find a down to earth woman for companionship and the possibility of having a life companion. Easy going, personable, well educated and in good physical shape. Being healthy is important both in mind and spirit. I have a lot to offer the right girl....I am a attractive man, just missing the right someone is it you?
Date a man from California, United States. "Have fun" That's what I like to tell people. I always try to find humor in a lot of things I do. Be it at work, with friends or just having a conversation. Nothing is more satisfying than making a person laugh and smile. To me, It's just about the greatest feeling in the world.
I like to think I'm compassionate, friendly and easy going. I'm the type of person that gets along with just about everyone. And I believe this is an important quality in any person. Having a genuine compassion in people will always make you a better person.
I'm looking to find someone with the same interests. But, a bit of a warning, my interests gravitate toward "geeky" aspects, like sci-fi, animation and art. But I'm also a bit athletic and a huge sports fan so that balances out the nerdy side of me!
If we have the same humor or like the same movies, TV shows, music... we'll have a fun time, whatever we may do. I'm also someone who likes to exercise and live a pretty healthy lifestyle. I know this isn't everyone's thing but it would be nice for the person I'm looking for to have those qualities also.
Not looking for quick hook ups or anything like that. Honestly, I'd like to be friends first. And if that friendship turns into something more, hey, that would be great.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Meet men and women from California, United States. Hi everyone! Finding love in the right places can be very challenging these days. It can be difficult to find the right life partner to be at our side.
I'm a pretty much laid back type of person. People say that I tend to go with the flow of things in life and limit my "confrontation" with others. I like to keep people happy in their life and accept them the way they are. I can be content with what I have, but I would like to share what I have with the "love" of my life in the near future. Yes, we are social creatures - being alone can be good, but it can have it's obvious downfalls. I.e. just having someone with you & knowing they love and care for you is so important.
So to be straight forward, I'm looking for someone to share the rest of my life with. I like outdoor activities such as camping, road trips to where I suddenly need to find a local hotel to stay the night, weekend getaways, walks/running, "window" shopping along a mall, or just hang out at a coffee shop and people watch. I also like to go to sporting events - mainly football and baseball.
On the other hand, I do like to mellow out indoors. I like casual dining, hanging out at coffee shops, bookstores. Sometimes I would cook at home so I'm trying out my creative culinary side of me-parents used to own a restaurant. I love to watch a good movie, either at home or at the local movie theater. At a theater, I find it best enjoying a movie with someone tho ;) rather than alone. I like to experience and absorb the different cultures, so I do like (and want) to travel to different places.
I'm looking for someone similar in interests. I'm very open to new adventures and interests in life - maybe you can help me find more of my hidden talents? I'm open to meeting new people. Basically, I'm ready to "start a new life" and I'm itching and raring to go explore and have fun no matter where it takes us!!!
Date someone special from California, United States. Chivalrous, witty, active man seeks an adventurous woman for fun, romance, and adventure. Interested? Please read more to see if you think I'm for real.
I'm 40 years old and a professional in high tech (gee, how unique in the Bay Area). I am an avid cyclist and runner and have now decided to tackle triathlons. I enjoy live music...most kinds, whether it's jazz, symphony, or rock. And yes, I genuinely enjoy opera....I saw Carmen this past season in San Francisco and it was outstanding.
One of my favorite ways to spend an evening is to share a bottle of wine while cooking for my friends....I try to put on a great show and we all get to participate in the finish. Ask me about my skirt steak saltimboca (or if you dare, call my bluff and ask me to make it for you).
I've got two boys....they're fantastic and add such richness to my life. We love to goof off with each other, listen to music, and go play sports (lots of baseball and soccer).
Are you active, love to eat good food and wine, enjoy music, and up for a good adventure? Perfect! I think it is important for each in a relationship to have their own individual interests, but enough overlapping interests to share with each other...what a great way to help build a strong and lasting relationship....I'm sure you probably think so as well.
Now back to that chivalry thing....it's true. I'm a man with manners. Your door will be opened, you will be the first through the door, and I will always help you with your coat. As for the witty...only you can be the judge.
Meet people from California, United States. I guess I can say I'm a jack of all trades. I'm not afraid to work with my hands and can do mostly everything well. I will try everything at least once just to say I did it. I do not jump on the bandwagon as I do like to beat to my own drum. I do have a sensitive side as I do know how to treat a lady. I'm open to new ideas and always like to meet half way if we disagree. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy nature very much. I'm fun, loving, caring and have a passion to succeed. I'm looking for someone that can fulfill my needs mentally and emotionally. Communication is a must so we can expand our growth together. Common interest is on top of the list as we can have fun doing what we love together.
Looking for a friend first with hopes of leading to a long term relationship.
