Date men and women from United States / California / Ventura, 38 year old

Date a man from Ventura, United States. I'm still fairly new to California, but as a new transplant, I am already its biggest fan. I moved to my little beach-side house, leaving New York City behind about 3.5 years ago, and it was the best decision I've ever made in my life. I spend all my free time these days surfing (I'm getting there... I fall down considerably less than I used to) and being outdoors. I'd love to be able to share experiences like that with someone. I travel a lot, both for work and for fun. Having gone on a few vacations by myself, I've realized "yep, alone is less fun". So a travel partner-in-crime would also be ideal. Did you know I've never even been to Mammoth? Of course you didn't know that. But yeah, I need to see far more of Cali, as well as the world. I travel a bit for work, and while sometimes it's a trip to Sacramento, usually it's someplace cool, like Tokyo, Paris or Ireland. Now I'm trying to add more international travel, purely for fun. Business trips are nice, but every country looks the same from a hotel conference room.
I'm a bit of a Jack of All Trades. I really equally enjoy going to a museum or playing beach volleyball. Although never in the same place. I played basketball in college, and still try to spend my time trying new sports. I'm a huge fan of playing and listening to live music, but like most fun things, I don't make enough time to do it these days. I'd like to find someone who encourages me to spend more of my time searching out great art, new music or random new things to dive into. Fun fact: Recently, I made my own wine and it didn't poison anyone - I rate that as an enormous success. My wine: zero deaths since 2006! I also recently started taking cooking classes, mostly because I couldn't bear to make the same food for myself one day longer. In general, I just like to discover new things, and see if I can't get good at it. People with new skills fascinate me to no end. I'd love to meet someone with an interest in travel, art, music and discovering new things. If you can make me laugh, and you find me amusing, I assure you we'll get along juuuuuust fine.

Meet a soulmate from Ventura, United States. Now for the Fun.
To say that I am eclectic is an understatement to say the least. There are times I really am a riddle in a puzzle wrapped in an enigma- even to myself. This is why I spend 3 days every year in the back country of Yosemite. This is when I get to know the person I have become in the last year.
Travel is a passion- even if it's up the coast to Monterey for the weekend. Need to wander- must have been a gypsy in a past life. California is the longest lived anywhere 8 years now.
Try not to watch TV- but occasionally get sucked into a show.
Believe in Government For the people by the people. Believe that most politicians start out wanting to do what is in the interest of the people but end up doing what is in the interest of themselves. Believe that Government needs to be afraid of the people not people afraid of the Government. Believe in the original constitution.
Line from a movie- "My father believes that most people walk around the world asleep, but the very few who are awake are in a state of constant amazement." See if you know this movie- obscure little film when it came out in 1990- however now has quite a following and is a great parable.
WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR:
Someone who knows the difference between being Rude/ Demanding and being Strong. Is there a difference between witty banter and being sarcastic? Understands the answer is 42 but doesn't know what the question is.
Also looking for adventure. I don't understand how people are satisfied with a simple daily routine of work, home, dinner, sleep, drinking and partying on weekends. This is not me- I want something fantastical.
Adventure must mean hopping on a plane or a car and just going- Once drove from NH to NY with 2 friends on a whim for New Year's Eve when we were 18.

Date someone special from Ventura, United States. Hello. Thanks for stopping by to read my profile. I would like to meet someone that will be the same person 6 months down the road as the person I originally met. Make sense? Hard to find. I am in the military (U.S. Navy Seabees) and have about another 9 years. I would like to spend some time corresponding with someone through email and perhaps the phone and see if there is a spark that we could build off of. My experience has taught me not to rush into "forced awkward intimate situations" great line:-) I have a dry sarcastic sense of humor and tend to be well liked by animals and children. Honesty and sincerity are two of the qualities I would like to find in my match, as well as someone that is attractive (to me). Mutual attraction has to be there or there is no spark, Right?? I work out and run at least 4 times a week. More for health than vanity but I do not let this consume me. I am a spontaneous and romantic guy who would like someone that appreciates both. I am certain you are out there.... somewhere:-) If any of this has caught your attention drop me a line and let's talk. I wish you all the best in your search. ~Jerry~

Meet people from Ventura, United States. I would describe myself as a honest and trustworthy person. Im always willing to help people and usually put others before myself when they need a hand.

I love to laugh and have a good time with whatever Im doing. Im a happy person and I prefer to surround myself with positive people. Family and friends are very important to me and I would like to find someone with the same qualities. Im looking for someone who knows what they want out of life, someone with goals, and good family values. My ideal partner would be someone I can become best friends with. Feel free to send me a message.

Date men and women from Ventura, United States. If you're like me, than you're feeling a bit awkard about this part. Like you weren't quite ready to write a script for a group of online daters, and at times, it makes you want to stop typing and stay grounded. But here I am!?!
Me, I'm a soCal native who enjoys the outdoors and spending time with family and friends. My life outside of work is consumed with 3 wonderful kids, who keep me busy. I'm trustworthy/honest, confident, independent, and motivated. Although I enjoy a successful career, I work to live and not live to work. The best times in life are those spent with people who look after one another, and are respectful to others and themselves. I'm not a big TV guy, and would rather play sports than watch them. I like the water and the mountains, and enjoy traveling.
My ideal mate is somebody who is honest with themselves and others, is confident with their decisions but is able to ask for help when needed, has no problem expressing different feelings, lives healthy, and is optimistic in dealing with day to day issues. I'm able to deal with drama, but try to find ways to avoid it. I'm not ready to take on emotional baggage or deal with resentful people. That's enough for now.
