Date men and women from United States / California / Ventura, 36 year old

Date a man from California, United States. With me I'm a curious person always willing to try new things.
I'm pretty mellow and easy-going. I prefer to be laid-back and mellow and not find reasons to stress myself out over things that are minor or that I can't change.
I'm really into watching movies of all sorts. I really love black and white movies and just classic movies in general, though I watch pretty much all genres.
I'm around the VC music scene as I'm friends with musicians - jazz, bluegrass, classical, Celtic, etc. I don't play an instrument though.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. For the most part, I'm a pretty mellow, low drama person. I can adapt and make the most out of any situation. I have a witty and goofy sense of humor most of the time, but it can turn jaded and sarcastic after stressful days at work (either way, I’m still a very funny person).
People say I look, act, and talk like a surfer, but I can never seem to figure out how to stand up on those things! Like everyone else on this sight, family and friends mean a lot to me, but I prefer the company of strangers and sworn enemies :)
I enjoy spending my time outdoors, and love having both the mountains and the ocean nearby. Sometimes I wonder if I am turning "earthy"… I’ve been going to the farmer's market, commuting by bicycle, and remembering to bring my multi use bags to the grocery store. There is, however, another side of me that enjoys the glamour and excitement of city life. I love listening to good live music at a small club, dining out at a sushi restaurant, or going to a museum or a baseball game.
Although I am not even close to being rich, I consider myself pretty successful. I live in the upstairs of a nice duplex, I work at a job that is meaningful and rewarding, and I have an awesome pet cat named Freddy that will follow me down to the beach to watch the sunset. At this point, I am looking for a mature woman, who has settled into her life, to build a stable, long term relationship with.
Which nicely segues into the type of woman I am looking for…. First, I have no desire to date a marathon champion, but you should enjoy the outdoors and believe in getting exercise. I am also looking for someone who is educated and intelligent, who can carry on a conversation about something other than celebrity gossip. Finally, I am looking for someone who stays aware of what is happening in our community, and makes it a priority to improve it. I find money, title, and status symbols do not equate to happiness at all, but a willingness to help others who live nearby is very sexy :)
So that’s me. If there are any questions I would be more than happy to answer them… just ask. Looking forward to hearing from you…

Meet someone special from California, United States. i am pretty big into fitness and cross fit, or should i say my quest for fitness =| i am still a few workouts short of the adonis physique i feel i need to acquire....i am pretty open to anything, to the point of a morbid curiosity...i grew up as a skater punk kid, but then grew up and had to turn establishment...i eat better than you, and will want to tell you why in hopes that you will help continue with my paleo quest.....i will write more soon, but for now, as long as your stomach doesn't stick out further than your breasts, your butt isn't wider thant your shudders, you are comfortable in your own skin, and you honestly feel you have something to bring to the table, we might be able to work it out...i am two classes away from my masters, and i give bonus points to international travel (or at least having a passport) and being able to simply carry a conversation, even if it is about your favorite color of gatorade...
if you can go to a punk show one night and the philharmonic the next and enjoy both equally, we might have something =)
i love wine, i am a self professed wino in training..just someone rad....and yes, i say the word rad....not too sure what i can commit to, but i know i am open to pretty much everything...and yes, all things being equal i would prefer to have that one woman to be with every second of my life...i just ask that you don't talk yourself into anything you can't follow through on...
i have had first dates that have lasted just an hour and some that have pretty much turned into days, both with good results...its more about what we are into together and the comfort level, if i like you, i could care less if we are sitting on the curb watching feral cats fight over chicken...but i think we could do better....bonus points if we are outside, and even more bonus points if we get sweaty =)
so i am really not on here much, the best way to reach me is to just email me...then i get the notification...i am not one to text/email back and forth forever, so be ready to make some solid plans to actually hang out in real life if we decide we're good for it....and i promise, as long as its a decent email, and not just a 'Hey' or some other 5 word or less phrase, i will respond, even if it's a quick 'hey, sorry, i don't think we would work out because...' i feel its only fair, and you women should do the same!
“Ladies, let me give you some advice. You can throw all your stupid ing chick-lit, self-help, why-doesn't-he-love-me books out, because this is all you need to know: Men will treat you the way you let them. There is no such thing as "deserving" respect; you get what you demand from people.. if you demand respect, he will either respect you or he won't associate with you. It really is that simple"
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
