Meet single man from Venice, United States. I love my life - i get to do what i love for a living (writing music for movies) and i get to travel a lot and meet all sorts of fascinating people. But what i don't have in my life is love. And even tho the concept of online dating weirds me out, i'm here because it's difficult to date in los angeles and i'm ready for a solid relationship and being 45 i don't want to waste time anymore in relationships that don't go anywhere. I don't necessarily want kids but i do want to be with the next love of my life for the rest of it.
About me - was born in south africa - have lived in los angeles for 18 years. i love my work - always will. It is how I define myself and I am a workaholic. But i also love to have fun and adventure and i do a pretty good job of balancing those things out. I have a house in mexico, family in south africa and australia and travel frequently to europe to work and hang with friends. I go mad if i don't get out of town often. I love food and wine. I hate TV commercials. I cry often watching movies and i love documentaries. I believe every life is equally important and i hate it when people consider themselves better than their gardener or cleaning lady. We're all the same life in the end. Religion fascinates me. I don't believe in any of it but i love to discuss it with people who do. I love politics and am so left of center it would make the average american explode! I hate guns and hunting - spent 2 years in the military so i know what a gun is intended for. And it's not cool!
About you - because i love my career so much it's pretty important that you love yours - whatever that may be. I really don't care. But i want to be with someone who has her own thing so that when we spend time together we both are in the same space. If you haven't figured out who you are and what you're doing in life yet, i wish you the best of luck but i'm not your guy. I also have a low tolerance for glass is half full kind of people. If you walk around smiling at the amazement of life - beam me up! I also need to be with someone who is open with a capital O! You need to be able to accept everything in life - good and bad and be open to all of it. Especially when it comes to this amazing adventure called life.

Date someone special from Venice, United States. Me: I am a non-native Californian, a transplant from the Midwest, who originally just came out to get experience in LA work-wise and ended up staying. There are not many better places in the US, I hope you agree. I like it here very much, especially my little pad next to the beach. I enjoy the clear skies, open space and liveliness.
I am a landscape architect by profession and education. I have worked mostly in Los Angeles, but also outside Chicago. I work from my apartment for the moment on a project by project basis for a few firms around town. It’s the type of profession that can easily be set up in a home office for no more that a good graphics computer and chair. The profession entails a significant amount of time drawing by hand and mostly by computer both preliminary designs and construction drawings. You probably have passed through or by a number of the projects in which I participated anywhere from Santa Monica to Las Vegas.
Free time is spent trying to stay fit, reading, studying a little Japanese, watching good TV and surfing the net for anything. I ran my second LA Marathon in March. I was an hour faster than last year, yea. I still like exploring LA after all these years; it is full of great neighborhoods. Sometimes I drive the whole length of Sunset Boulevard to see how the city changes over its length. Once at the end, I usually stop at Kinokuniya. I enjoy the concerts at places like California Plaza or Disney Concert Hall. I do ceramics on Saturday afternoons. It’s a great place to meet new people. I invest and found IBD the most reliable business and stock advice, but dislike their very conservative politics. I enjoy old movies with Audrey Hepburn or Bogart. I like small parties and board games with friends. I don’t like bars anymore, but something like ballroom dance would be a good substitute. Gardening would be included, but I don’t have my own yard yet. I don’t like to have every hour or weekend planned. Lazy is good too.
I went to Hawaii, New Zealand and Australia long ago. I have been to Japan 5 times and can’t wait to go again. I hope to be able to stay to learn the language next time or study ceramics in Seto. I would be very interested in anybody who would like to return to Japan often. My last visit was 2005 when Roppongi Hills was brand new. I visited Washington D.C. for the first time last year. Next on the list is China and Norway.
I am interested in a calm, cute woman. It would be great if she had creative interests, enjoyed the outdoors, liked animals - that sort of course. Conservative with money is a good attribute too. Any profession from teacher to doctor to accountant will be admired as long as you like it.
Nerdy points: I like railroad history just because a lot of boys do and because my grandfather used to build locomotives. I like everything Japanese. It has manifested itself with a small collection of samurai posters from the 1930s to 1960s. Also, I want 2 Whippets and a Russian Blue cat with bright green eyes to live in my future house.
----Recently moved inland a couple miles. Now near Mitsuwa. Also commute to work in Glendale for a long term contract and will consider moving there to reduce time in a car.

Meet a soulmate from Venice, United States. While I like to think of myself as a work in progress, at this point in my life I am well aware of the direction in which I'm progressing and very happily doing so. I’ve built a great life for myself, but I'm missing that special someone to share it with. Perhaps she's you.
What I can tell you is what makes me happy. Family and friends. Ethnic food and coffee shops. Impromptu road trips to unknown destinations. Travel, travel and more travel - I’ve visited over 30 countries on 6 continents and seem to continuously be planning my next trip. New experiences. The truffle burger at Umami. Learning. Misadventures in the kitchen. Quiet nights at home with a fire, a movie and a big bowl of popcorn. Photography. Truffle salt (great on that big bowl of popcorn). The mountains and the ocean. I moved to California because of its abundance of both and I spend much of my free time surfing, skiing, biking and looking for new ways to enjoy nature. Learning. Yea, I already wrote that but it's a big one.
I'm looking for a strong woman who is comfortable with who she is, both the strengths and weaknesses. She has ambition, a taste for adventure and shares my love of the outdoors. Someone with ideas and convictions of her own, but open to others. Both serious and silly. She has a great desire to share her life fully, but is steadfast about maintaining her individuality. Oh yes, she is also sexy...very sexy.
