Date women from United States / California / Woodland Hills, 49 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Hello, thanks for viewing my profile!
Though a long term marketer, promoting yourself here is a different challenge. A resume. A creative proposal. The first meeting an interview. As a test I've been playing with location and age here... both raised and lowered mine to test response. Now match won't show birthdate option so I can't reset it - I am 54, want to be upfront, don't wish to mislead (and in the interest of full disclosure, I'm 5' 2-3/4" but match didn't allow fractions...truth in advertising!).
I'm originally from Santa Barbara and considering relocating, live in OC for... a couple more weeks, and work in LA (oil comanies love me!) where I'll be soon. My upcoming plan is to be bi-residential. While photos are current I hope you'll share my view that chemistry isn't dependent on just visuals or the first moments, instant chemistry can be short lived, but compelling chemistry can build over time when intrigue, curiousity, experience become part of the recipe. Sometimes you don't even know it's happening then one day ... it's there
I offer an infinitely positive attitude and ability to find the upside in nearly every experience - I believe success in life, health, work is guided by attitude. And gratitude.Can turn drama into comedy :) An ability to find something fun in just about every venture. Opinionated yet open minded. Open to trying new things... not all.. but many! (Golf, biking Napa, fishing, perhaps France on the list...). I get along well with kids, pets, parents, bosses, buddies. Down to earth, honest, unpretentious. Excellent health. I live in the present but appreciate how the past, good and not so good, contributed to a positive present. I'm getting better and better at overlooking small things (and try to categorize much as possible as small) as minor vs.the good one brings to a relationship. Compassion for those less fortunate, admirable of the talent and effort of those who've accomplished more. I know the best taco dive in the world and when I say I enjoy it as much as my favorite 5 star places I mean it. I like watching sports and understand if you have to be glued to the tv for an important game (but NOT the Lifetime channel). Can converse on a myriad of topics. Short enough to manage 4"heels without towering over you. No crazy family members. Eat/live healthy w/room for a Fatburger or Tito's!
Friends (unpaid) would say I'm intelligent, articulate, funny, creative, sincere, loyal, straightforward, resourceful. A good catch for the right catcher. Dry humor (but I know when to turn it off. Or whisper quietly. Usually.) Typically smiling. Eyes that communicate without speaking a word. Can accomodate the proverbial jeans or black dress though not simultaneously. Good vocabulary.
No lists of must haves or "must be", I prefer to be open minded. I had a list of what I "thought" I wanted but we are so indivdual with different things to offer I want to be open to what I didn't know I wanted. I limit "musts" to some good character items. I am attracted to: Intelligence. Integrity. Sincerity. A calm demeanor. Kindness and respect toward others. Good sense of humor. Open mindedness. Humility. Good values/ethics (guess what, they can even come from SoCal!). Good financial management.
I love my kids, warm days outdoors, good conversation, intelligent people, things that make me think, seeing new places, exploring the US, power walking, cycling, Tito's Tacos, big dogs with floppy ears, road trips, driving at sunrise, watching soccer or baseball, legal fiction, sewing, the smell of eucalyptus after rain, old architecture/design/fashion/cars
I am pretty open minded and even open to USC fans, hair optional, teeth (the originals!) good. If you're willing to date someone you're old enough to have parented, unwilling to date someone your own age, or looking for a fwb we're probably not a good match but good luck in your search.
And winks are cute, but an email really says

Meet a woman from California, United States. Hi, I am not interested in games, never have, never will. I am looking for someone to have fun with and enjoy life to the fullest. I am in a great place in my life, happy with who I am and ready to give someone the best of me and I expect the same from him. I love my job and I am opening my new business very soon, so I am very excited about what the near future will bring. I am looking for someone with a good sense of humor that doesn't take things too seriously. Looking for someone to go to the movies, concerts, go hiking, camping or fishing, or just stay home on a rainy day and watch TV and cuddle. If you are close to that, lets talk and see what happens. I am very open minded and easy to get along with. NO DRAMA please, I will run from it LOL . Lets have fun together, life is too short to bother with non sense !!!

Date someone special from California, United States. I've got great girlie parts: compassion, nurturing sensitivity, and a handful of curves. Down-to-earth yet classy, tender and affectionate, a lover of culture and the arts. I'm whimsical, a fun-loving conversationalist, well-educated, and a true strawberry blonde. Definitely not an elitist as I enjoy interacting with people of all backgrounds, and I'm all heart and soul.
I love simple pleasures, like amazing kisses, laughter, and expressions of love. Some interests include theater and movies, flamenco dance, and dabbling in Flash and Photoshop. I value humor, intelligence, and honesty, and though my values are old-fashioned, IРІР‚в„ўm passionate and loyal. My lifestyle is clean-cut and unencumbered (no angry ex, no children that I know of), and I have a naturally relaxed personality. Confidently genuine from my core values to my exterior appearance.
I love cats and dogs, but I love children more, and if you have children, IРІР‚в„ўll love them as my own.
I'm fortunate to have had meaningful careers, from being a university administrator to working with special needs children, and also being involved with real estate; however, I don't live for work ~ a loving, healthy relationship has always taken precedence.
Having not yet married, IРІР‚в„ўll attest that independence is highly overrated, and lonely too. I've traveled the world, but I only hope to share the journey to the heart with one life mate.
Your overall dating goal is for a healthy, passionate, and monogamous relationship leading to marriage. You're wonderfully kind and emotionally ready for your best and last love. I'm attracted to (humble) brainiacs with insightful minds and loving hearts. Confidence and natural happiness are highly seductive. I'm enticed by loyalty and stimulating, playful conversation and touches. You aren't actively seeking to recreate a "60s "free love" revolution with temporary relationships - you simply crave an intimate connection with one woman, and you're ready for this. Like me, you lead a clean, honest lifestyle (no anger, control, or drug/alcohol issues), you're calm, and you have high moral standards. You have integrity, dignity, and class. I have complete trust in you, and your past has been proudly protective, forthright, and accountable. You've released emotional anchors from the past, and you've moved forward.
Let's start off on a positive note. My age and photos are accurate. I welcome your contact, but if your information isn't yet accurate, please indicate so in your email, as we all know healthy relationships thrive with honesty.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I have never tried computer dating but I am ready to give it a try. I'm not convinced yet that filling in the answers to all these questions will bring me closer to finding a meaningful relationship. Certainly, having things in common is a good place to start but, I'm a believer in chemistry. Oh and the kiss!

Date a woman from United States. Integrity, fitness and a sense of humor are very important to me. I am very active, playing softball, working out, bicycling, riding my motorcycle, and hiking. I have a 21 year old daughter and an 18 year old son, whom I love more than life itself. Friends and family are also important to me.
