Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Boulder, 38 year old

Date a soulmate from Boulder, United States. I grew up in Maine and moved here to ski, climb, hike, bike and sometimes go to school. Life took an unexpected turn 7 years ago after a skydiving accident. It took a few years, but im back on my feet. I never graduated from college, but i did make it 8 years with no degree. Its not that I couldn't finish, but other things came up like starting my own buisness and I had to make a choice.
Ive ended up as hybrid between redneck and artist. I love working with my hands but can rarely fix anything(not for lack of trying), my favorite food is pizza but sushi is a close second. I have a garden but it seems to die every summer... I own a chainsaw and know how to use it. I thought the twilight series was great, but i prefer woody allen movies. I wear carharts with button down shirts, my hair is rarely combed but i use product, my dog is furry, my stove is full of wood all winter, i hate doing laundry and dishes and id do them together if i had the right soap. My cat looks like a leopard and my shepherd looks like a wolf. My teeth are clean but the floor in my garage, not so much. My new truck is now an old truck and my dirt bike burns less gas then your prius and i think that is pretty cool. I read the New Yorker, recycle cans, pick up trash that is not my own and love rainy days.
If life is a box of chocolates then im really psyched because i love chocolate, especially if there is enough to fill a box.

Meet single man from Boulder, United States. First and foremost, I am a horrible, horrible dancer and singer (think the opposite of Justin Timberlake, though I am way better looking and funnier). But I don't care. And hope you won't either. Because it is often quite amusing and always entertaining.
Okay, now with that out of the way, I'm a pretty decent guy. Some people have even said nicer things than that. Try to spend as much time outside as possible. I have great calves - seriously, people stop me on the street. Plus, they are super tan right now. I work hard but not too hard. Close to my family, kind to animals. Pretty much all the things you'd expect from a decent guy.
I have no idea what I'm looking for in a lady. Sure, I could list out all the typical stuff. Hot, smart, funny, blah, blah, blah. But if I weren't looking for that, wouldn't you kind of wonder about my sanity? Definitely not interested in mean, angry girls. I've got an eye for the obvious as you can see. Beyond that, it's more of a "know it when I see it" type thing - but I think that is the case for most people.

Date a man from Boulder, United States. I’m not anyone you have ever met before.
I like to hang out with those that have an amazing sense of humor and someone that can totally dig sarcasm - (the very light and airy funny kind, never mean or boring) - so if you can’t banter back and forth with me w/o taking ANY of it personally or seriously - we are not going to be a good match... lol
My job allows me to travel some across the US, and I have to say every time I crest the hill coming into Boulder I now know I am home. That feeling of arrival/zen/peace in 4 plus years has not gotten old, and I appreciate the beauty of where we live. Why live anywhere else?
I am not a fan of inactive women and those with no personality! It drives me crazy. We live in Colorado it is time to get out there, have an amazing time, and push it. Not so much you get hurt, but a little bruise never hurt anyone, much. The best part are the stories after the activity!! Of course being witty, funny, and laughing all the way through the adventure, well that just adds to the fun.
I am looking for an incredibly unique, special, intelligent, smart, funny, and active woman, all of which is very very attractive to me. A woman who can laugh at all my silly jokes and funny observations. Someone who is independent, but loves to hang out at on a whim, doing just about anything. Someone who believes anything is possible, because in life it all is. Someone who can have a deep conversation about anything just because, at the same time breaking the tension with a silly joke. Quick thinking, and comebacks are always appreciated. Really life is about experiences, honesty, connection and more.
I have been spending my summer training for Xterra triathlons, I am doing three this summer (Beaver Creak, finished, Indian Peaks, upcoming, and Lory, not to far off), some of the best and hardest things I ever do. For the winter my friends are talking about a house up near Lake Dillion, hopefully extending our snowboarding season, and of course losing out on I-70 Sunday night traffic.
I also hope you can appreciate the absurdity of meeting online, whittling down a long list of people to talk to via a few photos, an online description and a few emails. How can you really get to know someone like that and decide if you should meet that person.
if you have gotten this far you probably are, so let’s meet for happy hour...we’ll drink, mingle and see where the evening takes us....
I look forward to meeting you

Meet men and women from Boulder, United States. What can I tell you that is different from every other guy here? Well honestly probably not much - other than I'm pretty sure I'm funnier than they are. Well at least I think I am. Or maybe not. No, I am.
So let's see, the important details. I'm a mature professional adult who is very much a kid at heart. I'm very comfortable with myself and am not looking to be 'completed' - I'm looking for someone to enjoy life with. I'm a great cook so hopefully you'll let me make you dinner sometime. I'm well dressed and might like shopping as much as you. I'm very social and outgoing but definitely need my alone/guy time to be happy. I'm from Atlanta but don't worry, I have zero accent. I am however a southern gentlemen when it comes to things like opening doors and picking up the check.
I'll leave you with 10 random things about me:
...When I was 14 I was run over by a car doing 60mph. Yes, it hurt.
...I was a vegetarian for 6 years
...I've played saxophone for 25 years
...I've driven a Ferrari 165mph
...I've been to 13 countries in 15 days
...I think The Princess Bride is greatest movie ever made
...I HATE celery
...I'm a neat freak
...I often laugh to the point my face hurts. ...the next day
...I could eat nothing but sushi for the rest of my life
BTW - I have my city listed as Boulder as I work in downtown Boulder and am here pretty much all the time. I live in Westminster very near Flatirons Mall. When I use that as my address I get matched to people in Lakewood, etc. so that's why I use Boulder. Just wanted to give full disclosure. Fortunately the pictures and my age are real...

Date people from Boulder, United States. Greetings!
To keep it simple, I'm looking for someone fun to go with me on adventures to Italy and Spain and Brazil and Peru and Thailand and Australia aaaaaand such and such!
If the man has you down and won't let you off work for weeks at a time, maybe we could find a weekend adventure right here in Colorado?
I consider myself laid back and funny...my second grade teacher said I was a pleasure to have in class.
I like to play outside.
I am pretty darn independent as they go, and generally get along better with emotionally strong, intelligent women who can twirl fire.
(I should mention that I am really only 5'9 1/2"...but I didn't want to exclude myself from 90 percent of searches...If you are one who demands 5'10 I promise to walk on my tippy-toes when we're out in public to spare you any undue humiliation!)

Meet someone special from Boulder, United States. I’m apprehensive about putting myself online. But, what the heck, I’ll give it a shot. I’m a high school English teacher, closer to 40 than 35. I’m a good, amicable person who believes in sincerity, kindness, working hard, doing the right thing and enjoying life. I’m thinking, more and more, about a relationship that has the potential to grow, where two people can learn, count on each other, and really smile.
I grew up on the east coast, South NJ, near Philly, PA. I’ve lived in beautiful San Diego. And now I’m in beautiful Boulder, Colorado.
I’d say I’m pretty mellow. I enjoy music, books, movies, hikes, going out for drinks and dinner, going to the occasional concert or show, watching an NFL game, having conversations, and learning new things. I’m easy going, laidback and open-minded.
I love and appreciate my family and friends, and I look for the good in people.
Ultimately I feel lucky and hopeful, and I like to focus on solutions…opposed to problems.
I love being a dedicated English teacher. It’s an honor to have an opportunity to take on such a rewarding challenge. I love helping students become successful. I’ll be starting my fourth year in the fall. I also worked a bit in Special Ed., which was a great experience.
I’ve traveled in my day, but still wish I could travel more than I do. Sometimes my teacher’s income limits things like travel. I’ll probably be grabbing my Masters degree soon to help fix that.
I believe I’m positive, bright and thoughtful. I have a good sense of humor I think…albeit a little goofy and a little dry at times too.
As far as relationships go, I think it’d be ideal for me to find somebody who is kind, caring, fun, funny and down-to-earth. A woman with good values. I don't have a check list, just a good person who I like and who likes me. Somebody bighearted… somebody to share with and learn with… somebody to feel alive with! Again, I hope to find a relationship with the potential to really grow.
Anyway, I’m not sure what to expect from using Match.com. I just figured, “Why not?” I think even if two people are the right match on paper, it doesn’t necessarily mean that there’ll be a spark…or chemistry. But, again, I think it’s definitely worth a shot…I’m just going to be open-minded, and I hope to at least have fun meeting some new people.

Date a soulmate from Colorado, United States. If you're looking for a fluent jive speakin, expert doggy paddler, ice kipades season ticket holder, who rarely needs to wax his back......then I'm your hombre.
Looking for skanky, pet snake owning, big granny "bloomer" style undies wearin, cheap skate, babe to hit it with! Must be willing to wear matching jogging outfits in public.
If you can roll with that, send a wink I'll invite you for a cruise in my �73 Pinto.
Are you still reading this!?? Alright time to get to serious...........
I'm a confident, funny, athletic, emotionally and financially stable, affectionate, honest, single Dad. I'm gregarious and am genuinely interested in other people.
I'm looking for a smart, outdoorsy, humorous, attractive, affectionate and adventurous woman who knows who she is, what she wants and is ready for some fun and romance in her life.
A little about me:
I live in Boulder, with two amazing kids who are the center of my universe, and are with me much of the time. I have a mellow job that affords lots of free time to pursue the things I love......
My passion is the outdoors, but wouldn't classify myself as "hardcore". In my 20's I was really into rock climbing, which I still occasionally do. I also love to camp. I mountain bike at least once a week, the trails start at my backdoor and I love taking them to work. I walk my pooch, Lucy, each morning at dawn. In the winter I ski and board. I'm obsessed with fly fishing. It doesn’t matter the season, I don't think twice about wading into a river.
Ten yrs ago I took a year off to travel the world, visiting S America, Europe, Russia, Mongolia, Australia, New Zealand etc...the pull of travel has only become stronger, but since having kids, its been a decade since I've done any serious int'l traveling. Would love to find someone who enjoys travel, and has the easy personality for the loose itinerary I most enjoy.
I've had the same best friends since high school - they are my brothers. I love sports, and often play with my friends and kids or watch them in person and on TV during football season. I find a woman who understands and enjoys sports very attractive.
I'm a foodie, and a decent cook. I have a great deck with big views, so I like to entertain and like to chill at home. A fun night on the town for me involves good company, and a few adult beverages, and dinner at local Boulder restaurants like Centro or Ras Kassa’s.
I think chemistry is important, and finding it can only be done in person.

Meet single man from Colorado, United States. Well... since I can't articulate "who I'm looking for" very well, I'll just share ten quick facts about me...
- I'm half-German, so I have a slight propensity for drinking beer, eating cheese, and singing folk songs in public.
- I don't really know where home is. Family is now in Bavaria, but I have lived on three continents and in 12 countries in my life.
- I am the only boy in my family and have three sisters. My little sis is without a doubt my best friend in the world.
- I don't admit it often but I spent my formative years in Texas, played high school football, even dated a cheerleader. Don't hold it against me. People can change.
- I have three degrees but no longer work in any of those fields. Money well spent.
- After a decade of international development work (mostly in Africa), I decided to try something new and became a tech entrepreneur. Best decision of my life.
- I have a beautiful dog that I inherited last year, but the great doggie love of my life passed away a few years ago. His epitaph is tattooed in Arabic on my triceps.
- I love music. There is always a soundtrack playing to my life. Recently some of that music has become my own. I play the guitar a bit but have played the cello since I was 7.
- My favorite hobbies come from water and gradient. In the winter you'll usually find me on a mountain in the snow. And in the spring/summer I will almost always be on a river with my best friends.
- When I was a young boy I was once asked what I wanted to be when I grow up. I said that I wanted to be a wise old man (thanks Opa). I still believe that, he who dies with the most stories wins.

Date a man from Colorado, United States. Brutal, up-front honesty: in March 2010, I was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's Disease. I put this first because it's a heavy burden, and something that is important about me: it's a part of "who I am." But it's not all gloom and doom! The diagnosis has changed and improved my outlook on life: I actively seek a "beautiful moment" each and every day; it can be a thought, a memory, or an experience -- basically, just something that excites me; that makes me feel extremely happy about being alive and able to experience this beautiful planet. I'm looking for someone to share that with.... and I am extremely adventourous, active, and am looking for someone to push me to stay active; someone who has a similar lust and love for life. And so here's more about me:
I have two young children who mean the world to me. I also have a great job that I love, but it requires that I travel fairly frequently. With all that, I find it hard to find time to meet new people...
I'm most comfortable in jeans or shorts and a t-shirt, but I wear a suit and tie when I'm working / with clients, and I've been told I clean up quite nicely.
I moved around a bit as a kid (which may be why I love travel and seeing new places). I was born in CA, spent elementary school in DE, middle school in Germany, high school back in DE, college and business school in PA. While I miss my friends who live back east, the only other thing I really is miss is the beach (I spent 3 summers lifeguarding at a beach in DE, and I LOVE swimming in the ocean).
I moved to CO 10 years ago, and absolutely love it here. I truly feel fortunate to live in such a gorgeous state. Other than trying to keep up with my kids, hiking/backpacking and skiing are my favorite active activities.
I have a sarcastic, sometimes dry, sometimes childish, and sometimes outrageous sense of humor. A number of people have told me I'm the funniesy person they ever met. I love laughing, but more, I love making people laugh.
I'm thoughtful, caring, kind, romantic, and passionate. And while I'll strive to spoil you, I'll want you to want to spoil me, too. Simply put, I love giving, but I also love receiving. :-) If that sounds like you, I'd like to meet you.

Meet men and women from Colorado, United States. I like the way pine tree bark smells a little like exotic vanilla out in the woods. Waking up in a tent or in a hotel room is always kind of exciting. My sense of humor is a mash-up of George Carlin, Tina Fey, yoga humor, Richard Feynman, and Super Troopers - but my friends think I'm funny!
Born in the Year of the Tiger. I am usually pretty motivated (driven, actually) but love to slack when it's time. I really, really love to ride bikes - mountain, road, cruiser, Dutch cargo bikes, whatever you want to ride with me. I fantasize about finding a partner who would go on an epic bike tour with me someday, like Canada to Mexico, or the Canadian Rockies.(actually, even entertaining the notion will win me over - I know that's really far) Or in Sweden, and see the sun at midnight.
A partner who is warm, emotionally available, and pretty stable mentally/emotionally is deeply desirable to me. I want someone who can be in love with who I am, support me to be more, and enjoy me and our life together. I like to have long conversations and would enjoy a talkative, affectionate partner.
Falling in love should be fun, and being in love should be fun. And, the diehard romantic fool that I seem to be, I want to share that with someone who is ready to enjoy that to the best extent that two humans, wonderfully flawed/blessed people that we may be, can have together. It will be amazing.
You should be patient, and you should like a warm sleeper - if you have cold feet (or are just cold at night) I am your guy. You should probably be brave too.
I am a night person who can mostly function as a morning person. You should like (or be amused by) night owls and staying up late with me occasionally. We can get up early to do fun things any time you want. I think.
We will recycle in our eventual household - the environment is very important to me.
I'm pretty liberal (that may have come across already) and I seek that in a partner, or perhaps just non-conservatism.
Cooking together is also a prime joy of mine. Write me.

Date people from Colorado, United States. I like old musicals. My friends do not. They all say that life is not like a musical - but I don't think it needs to be that way. If someone were to randomly jump up on their table at a restaurant and start singing, and you would be irritated because it is inappropriate, then perhaps we wouldn't fit. I like when interesting and spontaneous things happen.
I wish I could sing like Dean Martin. I fully intend to be a great lounge singer someday. If you can sing or play any instrument, I will be glad to furtively lay across your piano while you play.
I want you to be smart. I don't care if you're smart about everything, but I hope you are smart about something. There are lots of things I know little about, and I want you to teach me. I want to hear stories about things you have learned and places you've been. I will tell you my stories too, and show you all the interesting things I have discovered. More importantly, we can find new places and things together.
When I spontaneously start running, I want you to trust me enough to run alongside without asking questions (I'll always explain later.) If the police catch you, I want you to trust that I will get you acquitted, or dig you a tunnel. If the bad-guys get you, I will plot a daring rescue. I want to trust you too. I want to know that if you are called before Congress, you won't name names.
I've always wanted to learn martial arts. If you know, you can teach me, and if you don't, you can go to lessons with me. When we are attacked by a vicious mob of bad-guys, we can put our backs together and fight them off by the dozens. If I am ever drafted into a secret spy organization for my amazing physical prowess and shocking good looks, I want you to join with me. If we never become spies, we can pretend to be when we travel to Asia and Europe and South America (but not Iran - they would actually arrest us...)
Most importantly, I want to be able to come to you for help and advice. When there is no advice that can help, I want a hug. I want you to tell me it's OK when I do something dumb, and comfort me when I get frustrated. I don't need praise when I do something smart, but it makes me feel good when you look at me with admiration in your eyes. I will give you looks of admiration whenever you are smart and clever too. I will comfort you when you do something dumb - even if it is really, really funny (but I might laugh afterwards, when you feel better.)

Meet someone special from Colorado, United States. Well I usually like to start off with a laugh. But I guess I'm best described as someone who is always up for a challenge. I work hard and also take time to have fun. I grew up in Connecticut and moved out to Boulder in the Fall of 2011 for work.
I consider myself a balanced person, family orientated and very career focused. I love to cook and to try new foods. It's usually all or nothing but get me behind a grill and I'm dangerous. I try and stay healthly and enjoy going for a long run after work. I'm a big music fan and love discovering new artists and bands. I'm pretty excited to now be living in a state that is also the ultimate playground. With that I'm looking forward to doing a lot more hiking, biking, kayaking and skiing this year.
My ideal match would be someone who has the passion to pursue their own ambitions and work hard to achieve them. Someone who is also willing to be adventurous and seek out all that life has to offer. And most importantly know how to laugh and have fun!
