Date men and women from United States / California / Windsor, 42 year old

Date a woman from Windsor, United States. Me? I have a few for various moods...
Exploring, having fun, and stopping to appreciate the amazing things in my life is my MO... we get through the tough times to enjoy and appreciate the great times.
I'm a working professional with two wonderful assets (my kids) and believe hard work and perseverance always pays off. I'm driven, while being easy going, creative, and strive to balance it all (work, family, play). For fun... traveling, hiking, skiing, beaches, mountains, water, entertaining, BBQ'ing (tri-tip, rack of lamb, yum!)... I have a great network family and friends that support me as I travel for work and have "me" time.
As someone who is engaged in life, I see myself with someone social, outgoing, and confident. A partner who is comfortable in their skin and knows what they want. I believe strong, mutual physical attraction is really important. Romance and passion go hand in hand with commitment and communication. Nothing is sexier than a man who takes charge without being cocky; knows how to make decisions as he considers others needs/feelings, knows how to push the limits with integrity, and is sensitive while being strong (and can fix things like MacGyver, lol). I don't need someone to complete me (sometimes I can fix things myself or hire a handyman); I would like someone to compliment me. Looking for an authentic guy who can have a lot of fun; someone active, creative, and can keep it all in check.
Random thoughts: I love the color fuchsia, fun is my middle name, I love creativity, can't play anything musical (other than the radio, lol) but wish I could and admire those who can play an instrument; always wanted to go to Bali or Thailand, yes I get the "Helen" reference a lot, my kids rock, where's the snow? I enjoy searching for life's true purpose. Out of the fire, through the smoke, enjoying the bright sun, trying to live the best I can; for the most part happily with grace and honesty. And you?

Meet a soulmate from Windsor, United States. I usually will not talk to someone that I do not know. I like to meet people but have a hard time starting a conversation. i am really interested in finding a true friendship at this time and seeing where it goes from there. I am a very simple person and money and material things are of no concern to me. I wish to be respected.

Date a soulmate from Windsor, United States. I like to laugh, though in a good way and not at the expense of others. I'm caring, smart, giving, an introvert (my friends might disagree with that), usually quiet and reserved, like to try new things, and generally responsible. If you're looking for someone wild and crazy, I'm not your guy, even though I have a motorcycle (I drive responsibly).
I am looking for someone who is self-reliant and capable but isn't independent to an extreme. She should be emotionally intelligent and intellectually challenging (college education preferred, but I've met smart women who did not go to college). I'd like somone comfortable in jeans and a tee as well as a nice evening dress; likes camping and the symphony (or theatre); is tender and compassionate, yet strong.

Meet single man from Windsor, United States. I have a constant yearning for knowledge, whether it be through travel, reading, working, socializing etc. Europe, Southeast Asia, The Caribbean, Central America and New Zealand are amongst the many places I've been. Some work related and some for fun. I'm a bit of a history nut, a lover of various music, an avid reader and chef. I've owned restaurants and have worked extremely hard to get to where I am currently. Owning your own business can be amazing, maddening, all consuming and the list goes on. At the end of the day, I truly enjoyed the challenge and learned a ton. I'm now finally getting into that mode of 'there is more to life than working 60 hours a week'. My match would be someone who is comfortable with themselves, confident, well read and traveled. Intelligence is a total turn on. I enjoy biking, hiking and hitting the gym, but downtime at home is extremely important. I eat well, keep my body and mind in great shape and am financially astute. I'm really not into the whole material thing and although I do follow certain media via the internet, I don't even own a t.v. I do take my career seriously, but I try to approach life in a light hearted way. There's so many facets to what make people tick, but this is a very brief synopsis of myself. Drop me a line if this piques your interest and good luck with your search!
