Date men from United States / California / Woodland Hills, 48 year old

Date a soulmate from Woodland Hills, United States. I'm funny and fun to be with, easy going, physically active, dependable and committed. Meaningless things in life don't bother me in the least. I don't stress over the things that I cannot control and that's kept me young and happy. I love the gift of laughter. I'm honest to the core and I'm full of hope and for the most part, I'm an optimist. I'm very affectionate when I'm with the right person and I very much believe in mutual trust and respect. I eat healthy, I exercise regularly and I enjoy sports. I've been very lucky so far in the financial sense but I consider my family and friends to be my greatest assets.
I'm looking for a slender and attractive, sophisticated and classy, fun and open-minded, easy-spirited and confident woman to get to know and to share all my good times and the rare -not so good times- with. Life's too short not to want the best. That special someone where as a couple we can both really enjoy each other's company in an intimate relationship in the hopes of sharing the rest of our lives together. My ideal match would be a woman who wears her heart on her sleeve not someone who is stoic and emotionless. I firmly believe in quality rather than quantity and I want to fall in love for the last time in my life.
I'm very much a liberal but tattoos are kind of a turn-off for me...Just sayin'...
I still think of myself as a very young and vibrant person. I'm very picky but I know -you- are out there! And no doubt, we -will- find each other. We'll just have to see how this online dating stuff will turn out...In the great words of Andy Dufresne: "Hope is a good thing!"
...P.S. I'm so "not" photogenic...

Meet single man from Woodland Hills, United States. Living with integrity, honesty, and purpose is important. I enjoy deep or interesting conversations about life and what makes people tick (is that called "gossiping"?) and conversations about whether or not Joaquin Phoenix is faking it.
I am generous and try to be emotionally available when I have time for you. Intelligence and humor are important to me. I like women who are smart and sweet and have their priorities straight. Like super models. I want to find someone who is optimistic, but not TOO happy. Let's be realistic.
I've been a professional animation director for many years, so I relate very well with creative types.

Date a man from Woodland Hills, United States. Well, what do you do after you've achieved your life-plan when you were twenty-something, college, marriage, children, a loving home, solid career and economically successful? Retire from life? I don't know about you but I don't have the gene in my body.
For me, it's like the world has become my new playground. OK, so the marriage didn't pass the test of time -- probably the best 12 yrs. of my life since then. But I have two great sons off to college. Renovating my home of 18 years that withstood two children. Freelance work as I choose (not because I have to but because I like to). And a solid financial basis to absorb college tuition fees, car repairs or any other meltdowns my sons throw at me.
So it stands to reason that I can actually do what I want, when I want and how I do it. Travel, go. Take a long road trip, go. Take a cruise, go. Visit & explore Alaska, go. Even as simple as it may seem, sleep in. Or take a nap, how refreshing.
I've either been smarter than the avg, bear or wise enough to choose the right path. Credit has to be given to my loving family for providing advice when I needed it most. When your parents have been together for 54 yrs. they must know something beyond my imagination. That's when I heed to the saying "surround yourself with good people" and it'll usually turn out better than you thought.
But if you're like me and on Match something's missing. I'm not looking for a soul mate, the love of my life or a woman I can't live without. However, I do know I miss the companionship of somebody to laugh with -- either at themselves, others, or more precisely, me. The sense of "what stupid thing did I just do?" I cherish those moments when I can actually sit back and laugh at what an idiotic plan/decision I made -- so long as I gave it some thought before embarrassing myself foolishly.
So, here I am. No major responsibilities beyond keeping two plants alive, feeding my dog and of course, providing soft love to two teenagers so they don't screw up their lives beyond repair.
I'm not perfect in any sense of the matter, but I'm not going to sit on the couch watching endless hours of Sportscenter thinking of what I could do. Get off the couch and go, do something different, find a new adventure and explore places, people and things I've never given a second thought to.
As my older brother told me last summer, "I'm gonna make the 2nd half of my life far better than the 1st." Sound interesting? I'd certainly enjoy filling my bucket list with somebody I cherish....

Meet someone special from Woodland Hills, United States. Me - I believe love and romance are important, but I don't think they can exist without other levels of compatibility such as strength of character, integrity, honesty, and compromise. Someone that is ambitious and strives to be better every day...I love to joke around and someone that can laugh and has a good sense of humor is very important. I'm active daily and take care of myself so being with someone that cares about herself and is athletic is a positive. I'm pretty low key, drama free and enjoy the simple things but also can appreciate the finer things. I enjoy food, yoga, spinning, surfing, biking, the beach! I have a select group of friends that I feel pretty lucky to have who are an important part of my life. I feel that having friends and your own independency is important to keep a good balance between your relationship and your own interests. I'm a fan and appreciate of all forms of sports. I believe that initial physical attraction is important, however there absolutely needs to be more substance with who you are,what you believe and what you have to say. I'm definitely willing to give my all to someone thats willing to do the same.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. This isn't easy is it? How does one describe oneself? And is the way you see yourself the way others see you? Probably not. So I asked my friends to describe me and they said I was intelligent, sweet, upbeat, outgoing and nice. I love my job and I am grateful to have so many good friends and a strong family. I am happiest when I am helping others or spending time with my two kids. I probably picked the wrong name. "Old fashioned love song" would have been more apropos. My friends say I am sweet and old fashioned and should have been born in the 20s. And I do sing a few songs if you get me started.
And what kind of woman am I looking to sing to? Well I guess she'd have to be confident and easygoing. Someone who'd feel just as comfortable spending a night at the opera as a day at the races (or watching both movies at home).
However, we probably wouldn't go to a movie on our first date (or even our first few). How do you get to know someone by mutually staring at a large screen? A nice intimate dinner at a quiet restaurant would be ideal. That way we can really get to know each other.
