Date men and women from United States / California / Valley Village, 39 year old

Date single man from California, United States. I'm funny, loyal, overly opinionated, confident, handsome and independent. Did I mention that I was handsome? Not cute, puppies are cute, I'm a man and I prefer to be handsome. I don't take myself too seriously. I am honest to a fault. I'll tell you what is on my mind if you ask. I’m a bit of a dork/goof. I know that about myself and I'm good with it. Sarcasm and being some what of a smart-arse are many great qualities that come part of the package. I am a great listener and do enjoy retelling the stories of old. I'll be there and hear you out, but once the stories start to repeat themselves, I’ll have the tact to say, �you told this to me before,’ and I hope I receive the same courtesy. I tend to do that same thing, repeat myself on occasion. Oh, here is a tip on to get to know me or any other straight male, Since I am a guy, I’m not into the gossip of celebrities and who they sleep with who they didn't sleep with last night or the result of any reality show. I really don’t care about that side of pop culture. I grew up the youngest of five; one had to be quick to deliver a good come-back at the dinner table or get eaten alive by my siblings. I do know how to behave in public....most of the time. I like to express myself with art or sculpting. I don't have any plans on becoming the starving artist, I just enjoy it for myself. What else...oh, I'm a work-a-holic and that takes up a lot of time dieing certain parts of the year or a unexpected deadline comes up and I'm at the office for a long stretch of time. I have been in (2) car accidents so my back and neck are a mess and in the works to take care of that issue. This being said, I don't hike, rollerblade, ski/snowboard or go on long walks. I do go to the gym but my exercise is limited to the gym within reason. So, that is me as much as I can present to you at this time.
The woman that I like to hang out with is someone that is confident in herself on all levels. She doesn’t need my attention 24/7. Don't get me wrong, you'll always have my attention, but doesn’t need me there at her side all the time. Doesn’t need someone in her life to define her, just wants to enjoy the life that she has been given. She has her own life and would like to have someone stand beside her as we fumble our way through it. Just ease our way around each other and not feel pressured to start picking out china after the first date. Slow is good. A woman that is comfortable in any situation that can handle her own at any social scene. Confident to work the room and know that I'm always around. A woman that can answer the door or even show up in t-shirt and sweats, to watch movies or just sit in the middle of living room floor and shoot the breeze. A woman that is passionate about something whether it be work, music or the sure fact that she gets to wake up in her life and be grateful. Thankful for the life they have and want to make the best of it, and if that means not moving from the couch from Friday to Sunday night, fine, but let’s not make it a weekly event.

Meet a man from California, United States. giving this a shot....
!st off... I know what I want, and I'm not afraid to go get it... I've had a good single life here in LA... but, I'd like to move onto something more meaningful, lasting, and ultimately rewarding... I think I've just grown as a person, or maybe just grown up, whatever it is... I'm looking more towards the future, and how I want it to play out... So, I've gotten more serious about finding someone...
Me: Straightforward, realist, non-religious, honest (maybe, to a fault), and extremely loyal to those I care about... A bit of a potty mouth...A unique mix of the traditional and ultra modern. I like mostly rock music... From classic rock to modern metal (but, I like a little bit of everything)... the outdoors, BBQ'ing/cooking, and just going out and having fun.... I have an off beat sense of humor... Basically, anything goes (I find that usually the least appropriate thing to say, is usually the funniest)... But, I can be serious when I have to, and carry myself with a quiet reserve... jeans and t-shirt type... but, I can dress for the occaision, and I clean up pretty well... I have my life together, and my partying days are pretty much over... but, everyone still needs a bit of fun every now and then ;)... I am open to new experiences, and willing to try new things...
You: Smart, a student of life, a teacher, open and fair minded...(in other words, be a team player... quid pro quo)
Anyway, if you'd like to know more just ask...

Date someone special from California, United States. 2012 Update: For those of you who count body type as a potential deal breaker (no shame -- I get it), I've changed my status to "Average" to reflect the nine months athletic hiatus I've had to take due to a sports injury. By today's (relatively unhealthy) American standards, I'm still on the slim side, but I'm certainly a bit softer than I was a year ago. That said, I'm cleared to resume my fitness routine and hope to be back to form in the next few months.
ME: A Renaissance Man to the core, I'm curious to a fault and fault my curiosity on two loving parents (still married after 42 years!) who taught me to explore the world and enjoy its many wonders. I’m working on my pilot's license, am an avid traveler, scuba diver, and yes, like every other person here I've jumped out of an airborne plane. Impressive? No. The kind of thing that attracts a mate? Apparently.
Originally from the midwest, I’ve been in LA for about 15 years, bathe on a regular basis, and give a swell massage. A romantic at heart, I'm acutely sensitive to the desires and needs of the woman in my life, and find immense pleasure in spoiling her with my time, energy and resources. I'm confident in both my masculinity and my musicianship and WILL write you love songs when the time is right. I clean up extremely well, but I do loves me some jeans and a tee shirt. I'm not usually creepy or disturbing, but as a gentleman I feel it's my birthright, and in fact my responsibility to be entertaining and gross from time to time. But I digress...
Most of my friends would tell you that I've got an epicurean streak, with a good meal topping my list of indulgences. I love finding new places to sample the wares, and also happen to be a whiz-bang in the kitchen. I keep a pretty comfortable and well-maintained home, but will cop to being less-than-great with a mop or dustrag. A little metro? Perhaps, but I'm also a big sports fan who enjoys both watching and playing the game -- basketball, football... dodgeball? And while we're on the subject of boyish escapism, let the record reflect that while it's becoming rather rare, I have been known to indulge in what the kids these days are calling "video games."
I've made a very successful living in the entertainment business, but am not consumed with the environment which surrounds it. I don't live to work, I work to live. That statement is about as cliche as they come, but it's true. Usually. At the end of the day, the world is a big place, and I still have a lot to learn and experience. But enough about me, let's type about...
YOU: An intelligent, adventurous female accomplice, whose sense of identity is as developed as your sense of style. Although confident and uncommonly literate, you are nurturing and unpretentious with a passion and zeal for life unmatched in the annals of Hollywood lore.
You are at ease discussing life’s deeper matters -– including, but not limited to: philosophy, the world-stage, and Bon Jovi’s Greatest Hits. Also, I'm not really looking for a June Cleaver here, but it'd be fantastic if you have at least a little domestic blood coursing through those veins. I don't EXPECT a woman to take care of me, but it's nice to know she's willing and wants to, you know? Of course, with all that said, the most important thing you can bring to any relationship is yourself. Just as you are.
US: We're nuts about each other, yet are completely comfortable and confident as individuals. Yes, we may need one another sometimes, but we're never NEEDY. We always communicate (even when its difficult). We'll cook a little, kiss a little, make a fire and play some Scrabble. Or we might just find ourselves some cardboard and start breakdancing. I mean, that's what friends do, right? And the two of us are the very best of friends. It just so happens that we've also got this chemical/emotional attraction that makes it difficult to keep our hands off each other.
