Date men and women from United States / California / Venice, 30 year old

Date people from United States. The 10-word bio version: Driven. Creative. Athletic. Playful. Intelligent. Passionate. Determined. Fun. Thoughtful. Unique.
[Fine- I'm biased in choosing only positive adjectives, but listing not-so-flattering traits such as not being incredibly punctual, the propensity to snore when sleeping on my back, and present hair loss making me second guess my stance on vain 'procedures'- well those just don't roll off the tongue as well as the attributes I'm more proud of, do they now?]
What you see is what you get (hopefully more), and I think it's a pretty good deal. I'm the poster child for honesty. I say what I think/feel, and even write how I speak (though addicted to using bullet points, I try to avoid 'a, b and c's' in conversation. seriously though- bullet points and lists are an underrated contributor to society. just like 'The Goonies').
I'm a walking hypocrite of traditional stereotypes. In college, I was Fraternity VP and Social Chair, but in the summer I was a 'Nanny' for 5 children (I'll crush you in a french-braid contest). The class clown with great grades. I like cuts and scrapes from sports, but love goosebumps from movies, music and hearing the voice of the girl I'm interested in. I spend most of my time 'playing'- but make time for church to say thanks and reflect. I like canned beer and cheap burgers on the grill, but love good wine and great dining ambiance. I don't take things too seriously but a perfectionist. Insightful but irreverent. 'Inappropriate potty mouth' but well-timed and dare I even say 'charming'. Random but always prepared. I don't cry when I'm sad/hurt, but tear up when I'm really happy (or at end of movies named Rudy, Hoosiers and more. Even Cool Runnings. Yes you read that correctly). I'm t-shirt and shorts but love wearing suits. I like planning Bachelor Parties and events, but lead a group of high school students each year on a week-long volunteer service trip. I'm proud to be the guy people go to for fun, but more proud they come to me for advice, an ear or shoulder.
Ideal Match: Can't be posted on a resume (and what fun would that be?). For me, love is less of a jigsaw puzzle with pre-determined matching pieces, and more like having built something amazing without instructions. It works because it works, not because it's 'supposed to.' No 'final picture' to follow/achieve- just a feeling that you know can't be duplicated, and a smile that permeates every inch of your body/soul.
Ok, we're not gonna love the same stuff. But we better love doing them together. Ex: I love playing/experiencing sports, and it would be great if my future wife was athletic or enjoyed them. BUT, I don't REALLY care if she can throw a curveball or loves the Cubs. I just care if she appreciates that I do. I want her to enjoy sitting in the Wrigley Field bleachers with me and a cold beer under the hot sun, even while I ache with each pitch, even if she doesn't 'get it.' I want her to enjoy and appreciate my passions, as I will with hers. Cuz I'm not gonna love the same stuff she does, but I'll love doing them with her, and learn to enjoy them because I know what they mean to her. That's all you can ask for.
This isn't necessarily something you see on the surface or on dates one through x, BUT the girl of my dreams, and quite frankly the only girl I'll truly fall for, has one defining characteristic: she challenges me. Whether emotionally, intellectually, spiritually or her "general way of life"- I need to be challenged. I want to look at her smile across the table, into her eyes on the dancefloor, and feel her heart while she lays in my bed- and think "this person is amazing. she makes me want to be a better person, a better man. she makes me want to be everything I'm capable of, and more."
Summary: Life is good. Hell, it's better than good. I want to make people think and feel, specifically smile and laugh. I want to try it all. Life's short. Drink it up. It's always a great day to be alive.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I am an old-fashion Californian girl with liberal social values who wants to meet someone other than the typical Los Angelino. I have lived in five different countries including Mexico, Chile, Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil so I would like to meet someone who is open-minded, liberal, and loves to travel both domestically and internationally. My friends would say that I am assertive and very career driven while at the same time well-grounded. I am interested in current events, especially anything that concerns Latin America as well as politics and business. I love to play/watch soccer, tennis, yoga, baseball and snowboard, speak Spanish, dance salsa and study, but most of all be spontaneous. In addition to being open-minded, I am looking for some who is chivalrous, funny (with a romantic-side) and wants to live life for the fun of it (and not to impress anyone).
