Date men and women from United States / California / Walnut Creek, 51 year old

Date a man from California, United States. Hi and thanks for stopping by. I'm not the best at self promotion but will give it a try.
I'm a decent man, father of 2 wonderful grown daughters, 25 and 19, who I love more than anything. I'm compassionate, witty, giving, fun, hardworking and successful in my career. My office is in Berkeley and I truly enjoy what I do. I make my living helping people and I receive gratification on a daily basis for it. That said, it's a delicate balance between professional and personal life. I guess that's part of the reason I joined Match. I had dinner with clients recently and they told me the story of how they met on Match. Today, they are in a happy and healthy marriage of 8 years with 2 beautiful kids. so...
I love to travel, both here and abroad and look forward to more as life moves forward. After all, there are so many wonderful places and cultures to experience. I try to enjoy a healthy lifestyle and take good care of myself both mentally and physically. I eat well and exercise 5-6 days each week. Like life, I enjoy good wine and prefer to share it than drink it alone. I'm passionate and definately know how short our time is. I tend to be affectionate, playful and romantic. I'd love to be part of that couple who are holding hands while walking the beach in Carmel at 80.
Who am I looking for? Well, for starters, I'm attracted to women who are considerate, compassionate, passionate and comfortable with who they are. I enjoy women with flavor, a sense of humor and sarcasm is just fine in my world. I'm a sucker for a woman with sweet eyes and an easy smile. Motherhood is a role I respect and have no issues with you putting your children first. If you like to travel and see new places, thats a plus!
I have a pup named Buster who I rescued from ARF a couple years ago and I enjoy training him(or is he training me :). We usually head out to the Lafayette Reservoir or Blackies Pasture in Marin a few times per week. I've recently learned to roast coffee at home and though i'm not taking aim at Peet's, I've come up with some amazing blends! So, if you like good food, wine, conversation and coffee...

Meet men and women from California, United States. Hi! I believe I've met all my friends single friends and not really having found any spark have decided to give this a shot since it's been successful in the past. I have some of the best friends anyone could hope for and love to travel and go out to see a band while having the occasional drink, although I'm pretty sure I've checked the standard bar scene off my list. We all have to grow up at some point, right? I think its important to keep life exciting and have been known for my moments of spontaneity. I am far from jaded when it comes to relationships and very much believe that true love is possible and the traits conducive to it are maturity, love of self, true communication even when the truth hurts, and the ability to laugh, most importantly, when times are tough. I am ambitious and independent and have accomplished a fair amount so far, if I do say so myself, but am not a Type-A personality. I consider myself open-minded and prefer to surround myself with like-minded people. I feel fortunate to have traveled as much as I have and nothing gets me more excited than the prospect of a new adventure whether it be a spontaneous road trip or flying abroad. Overall I'm happy, ecstatic about life and looking forward to eventually sharing it with the right girl.
The woman who would amaze me would be mature, but goofy, practice self-improvement, love animals and children, have a presence about her and be at the point in her life where a relationship is something she is open to...Sense of humor is an absolute must! I'm a little shy at first but once you get to know me I can be a total goof in the right settings making faces and doing impressions, etc... I seek someone who is of impressive character and is honest about who she is and what she wants out of life and a relationship. I'm drawn to outgoing confident women that can work a room well but ultimately content not going out every night to do so. Not a drama queen but she'd rather talk or scream through an arguement and come to a resolution than smolder and hold a grudge for 2 weeks. Grudges and lack of communication leave room for no closure to the inevitable issues that will pop up in any relationship... Besides, Theres nothing like make-up sex, right? ... I should probably think about editing that out....
She is close with her nuclear family and plans to have one of her own someday. I'm holding out for mind blowing chemistry...you know...goose bumps, fireworks, butterflies, lighting striking... All that makes us feel alive. She has a grin on her face, a twinkle in her eyes, and a contagious laugh that comes easily to her. I can't wait to meet her.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I'm easy going, kind, intelligent and fun. I love great food (cooking and eating out), music, hiking, biking, nature. I practice yoga and meditation and I work out a lot. I like to laugh and make people laugh. I can be witty and have a good sense of humor. I try not to take myself too seriously. I am thoughtful and warm. I'm romantic, but not into drama at all.
Who I'm looking for:
A woman who is kind, lives in the present and deeply appreciates the preciousness of life. Someone who lives and relates more from love, honesty and openness than from fear. Believes that life is about connection and contribution to others, learning, spiritual growth. Not materialistic, and definitely not into drama.
As Joseph Campbell said, "We're not looking for the meaning of life, we're looking for the experience of being alive". And, I'll add, to share it intimately with someone else.

Date single man from California, United States. It's late so I'll add more about me at another time. I'm looking for someone I can be relaxed with, laugh with, enjoy everything about life with.... and grow old with. I grew up on a farm in Ohio...I'm an x-pro runner.... an artist. I try to be creative in everything I do...I'm very easy going and drama free.

Meet people from California, United States. About me: I am very simple and not complex like a lot of the men you will find on an online dating site. Life has its ups and downs and when it is down, I don't really sweat it. I was thinking about viewing the other men on Match and seeing what they put down but then I thought to myself.....what if they are able to see that I browsed them? So rather than being embarrassed, I chose not to do that.
Some guys can hide behind a computer screen and keyboard and be so used to that but I can't. I don't know what to say that would make someone look past the age thing. It seems like 50 is a terrible number for most women. They think that men can't function past it. I think that it is a better thing because I think that younger guys want to always see what the "greener grass" is like on the other side. They are not content and appreciate what they have.
I see lots of women at work. Maybe it is the uniform thing, I am either hated or loved. I am divorced, not my fault and I am not pining away for some Ex like lots of guys. My friend paid for my membership. She said that someone deserves to be treated right. I've got 3 months to find out, after that I turn into a pumpkin.
Even I don't get emails and no responses to the select few that I send, I am not too discouraged! As a matter of fact, a beautiful woman from Florida told me that she wants to be my woman. I just have to send her a $388 Cashiers Check in the mail so she can fly over to be mine! I truly wonder if there are men who actually send money! Heh heh !!
I think that there is someone for everyone. If I am not for you, I wish you happiness with whoever rings your bell. Be happy! Maybe I will be parking your car in Maui when I retire. If you see me doing that, please give me a decent tip!

Date single man from Walnut Creek, United States. I'm a fun loving, healthy, good and honest man who believes in keeping ones word and treating others fairly. Family is everything to me but as my children get older I'm finding myself with more time on my hands. Living healthy, working hard, quiet times, loud times, acting silly, wild parties, sports, laughter great food, wine, beer and exercise are important and I try to act like they’re not mutually exclusive.
