Meet a soulmate from Colorado, United States. I work in the corporate world, but I put a high priority on free time. I consider myself easy going, and I love to laugh. I’m interested in what’s going on in the world, and I enjoy traveling and exploring new places.
I’m originally from England and find myself there once or twice a year to see family and friends. Sorry, the accent is long gone… Time near the ocean is always well spent for me. I enjoy most all outside activities, but I find myself hiking and biking most days. I don’t ski as much as I have in the past, but I enjoy the occasional tele ski day.
Lazy weekends at home are also great which might include reading a paper, listening to “This American Life,” or reading a book on the hammock. I also like meeting friends for breakfast or tackling a home improvement project.
I’m seeking a sincere and playful woman with a sense of humor. It would be great if she shares my passion for an active lifestyle. This person would also enjoy discussing both lofty intellectual subjects as well as recognizing and appreciating the little things in life.

Date men and women from Colorado, United States. So you've been spending evening after lonely evening, just you and a glass of Merlot, surfing lame online dating ads that all sound the same. You're about to fall asleep.........Time to wake up!!!!!!!
Man of Adventure, of course.....
I am many things: The man your Father would love to see you marry, the boy next door, the best friend, the guy who gives you goose bumps, the serious athlete, the eternal student, the playful little boy (wink) and the last person you want to see before you go to bed.
I'm very passionate about what I'm passionate about, and I'm committed to greatness in all areas of my life, which, of course, includes the beautiful, wonderful woman I am looking for. Could that be you?
You are playful and loving, tender and affectionate, smart, witty and funny. Your sarcastic sense of humor and energy are contagious. You are all about laughter (the kind that makes your stomach hurt) and stimulating conversation. Family and friends are the most important things to you. You have good morals, values and beliefs. You're comfortable in your own skin, are confident, strong and love to love and be loved.
We exchange knowing glances from across the room and my smiling eyes let you know that I get you.
P.S. I love my Mom and I wear nice shoes (smile).
If this resonates with you, be sure to drop me a line. Thanks for fishing.......

Meet people from Colorado, United States. Here's the dealio... I've been at this online dating thing for a while, and have had some good success and met some nice people. Over time I've learned a few things, so how about I save us all some time?
The most important thing is chemistry. Not much else matters, really, at least as far as what we write in our profiles, because those are very subjective, right? If you think the other person is "hot" (whatever that means to you), you'll overlook what you don't like or work around it.
So how do you find out if there is chemistry? Photos help, maybe even talking on the phone, but meeting face to face is what I like to do right away and end all the mystery. A first meeting should be short and sweet; if things go well, then there is plenty of time to plan a "real" date later.
You know what else I learned? I'm tired of being a therapist for people who really aren't ready to date. If you're not over your last ex, please find someone else to experiment with. I've been divorced for about 6 years now, and I know what I like, and I know what I don't like. I hope you do, too. Likewise, if you're just a game player, I'm not interested in playing.
OK, now that we got through that, I'll tell you a little about me. As you can see, I'm tall, athletic, and work out regularly. I'm not a fanatic, but I do like to stay fit and healthy. I'm sorry, if you're a couch potato, I'm afraid we're not compatible long term.
Let's see, I'm a pretty smart guy so you need to be smart, too, or else I'll probably get bored. I need to respect the person I'm with, so I hope you have a good work ethic. You'll find me very honest and reliable. If I promise you something, I'll do it, simple as that. I also like to be with a good communicator. This helps resolve those little things that can grow into big problems, and also enhances our understanding of each other.
I'm also a volunteer firefighter and I coach little league, so I'm not selfish with my time and I try to be the best Dad in the World. Yep, I have three little angels who are with me half the time. I'm not looking for a new Mom so you won't even meet them for quite some time. I work at home with a flexible schedule, so I can make time for the right person.
Let me go back to that couch potato thing. This is hard for me to say because I don't want to hurt feelings, but as far as physical chemistry I'm not attracted to anyone who is overweight, I'm sorry, so let's not waste time. That's about my only "shallow" quality that I can think of.
Oh, you want to know more? Dark chocolate. Red wine. Confident not cocky. Slow kisses. Hike, ski, bike. I have a bubble gum machine in my Living Room. I open doors and send flowers for no reason. Dessert. iLuv my iPhone and iPad. I read Harry Potter before the movies came out. I'm financially stable. I have perfect toes. Passionate. I take humor very seriously. Save the drama for your mama!
Oh, perhaps most importantly of all, please have A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR. I will make you laugh. ALOT.

Date a man from Colorado, United States. I am loving, caring, honest and sensitive. I look for the same. Straightforward, simple, and uncomplicated.
I strive to laugh at least 17 times a day, but usually I get away with more. I quote Shakespeare more often than I should, but that is an occupational hazard for me.
I love being alive and I am always ready for the unsuspected moment of awe.

Meet someone special from Colorado, United States. Funny, I just signed up with match.com and it looks like I started the process three years ago. The last paragraph below was my first intro and it is all basically true, but my daughter is six now and the recreational activities are a bit less given the increase in work. I am a business attorney in private practice, living and working in Boulder. My little girl is home with me 3 or 4 days each week. Still bicycling, but not much bridge, sailing, flying or bar hopping lately. The new hobby/discipline is Bluegrass guitar. A friend just gave me a beautiful hand made acoustic guitar. I believe that's good karma coming back my way for giving my guitar to a friend a few years ago. I was invited to play in a band recently, but not sure I have the time.
I'm planted here in Boulder for at least the next 14 years and lead a pretty simple life. After I get the little one in college, I dream of sailing away to the Caribbean or the south of France on a 45 foot Ketch (that's a type of sailboat for the sailing impaired). Until then it's just living the dream here in Boulder, working, going out to see live music, plays, ballet, etc. I do not watch T.V. except for the occasional sporting events and good movies of course.
__________________________________________________
Are you a road cyclist, that loves to play bridge, sail, fly, bar hop in Denver and hang with a 3 year-old girl? I am and I suppose the theme here is adventure or active recreation. Although, when you ride a bike 10 hours a week, sitting, eating and drinking are the other main activities. Cycling addict here! Nothing is more enjoyable than spending a few hours on the bike in this beautiful place.

Date single man from United States. I like adventure and a good challenge - personally and professionally. I enjoy the thrill of traveling to other countries or regional destinations, experiencing different cultures, and great road trips. A great trip can be spiritually awakening - I think there are amazing things we learn from people in other parts of the world. I like great trips, but I think one of the keys to enjoying life is cherishing the simple things in everyday life. I would like to meet someone to share the challenges and adventures in the future, including enjoying the simple things every day.
I am a devoted father and my children are very important to me. I have my kids 40% of the time and I have a great relationship with my ex-wife. We co-parent our children very well, we communicate very well and I'm proud of how we are raising them.
I'm open, honest and direct. I run my business and live my life by the golden rule and one of my fundamental life principles is "straight-talk". It is one of the key principles I'm teaching my children. Straight talk has enabled me to establish great relationships with my family, friends, business partners and clients.
I like being around positive, optimistic and down to earth people. I have a great deal of respect for people that have the same ethics as I do, the same honesty and zest for life. I don't take things too seriously, which is good because I screw up on a daily basis!
I am diligent about my workout regimen and it is an important part of my weekly schedule. I think a healthy body is key to a healthy outlook and I'm attracted to women who feel the same way.
I'm a passionate person, with a sense of humor and I'm generally easy going. I'm looking for a special woman to help challenge me, help me grow as a person, and help navigate life's adventures. There are wonderful things ahead in the horizon!

Meet a soulmate from United States. I enjoy outdoor activities and love life and what it has to offer. I work hard in order to be able to enjoy life to it's fullest. I love Colorado and its surroundings. I'm not a big party person but enjoy a little wine with dinner. I love to cook and found a love for beautiful gardens. I'm passionate about being happy with what I have and positive about my future.

Date men and women from United States. What would you think about a little weekend adventure, maybe a day wandering around the mountains on skis, maybe mountain biking a new trail and getting "slightly" lost,....., then following that up with making a delicious dinner (hopefully- but we really won't know, because it's something we've never made before) together ?? Of course, dinner takes a while, because we're as busy chatting /laughing it up and drinking a wee bit o' wine as we are cooking. Sounds like a perfect day, huh ? Does to me, too.
I think you can tell a lot about someone by understanding what's important to them....so here's my story....
My favorite things :
Spending time molding deep connections with friends.
Watching my chocolate Labrador wag uncontrollably as I throw the tennis ball into the water for the 20th time.
Meeting a new friend and feeling the connection.
Seeing an old friend for the first time in quite a while and feeling the connection.
Rippin' deep backcountry powder turns (If you understand that, awesome. If you don't – no worries, you'll hear much more about it :) ).
Spending my weekday hours doing something that I value, enjoy, and think makes a difference…to the point that I hesitate to call it a Job.
Anything and everything about traveling! For a weekend, or multi-week. Near or far, I like to dream about it, talk about it, plan for it, and would be thrilled to experience it with someone like,…, maybe you ?
So those are a few of my favorite things. But, “What is he like?” I hear you asking.
I believe a person must be in a certain place to be able to contribute to a healthy relationship… a place of happiness, self fulfillment, integrity and compassion. I am there.
I love adventure.
I love to laugh, quite possibly a bit of a dork.
I like romance. I like nice dinners, intimate conversation, candlelight, opening the door for you.
I work diligently at maintaining that sweet balance of contentment with what I have, wisdom in knowing what I want, and the drive to obtain it.
I highly value compassion & integrity, and I love pizza and sushi. (Mixing it up a bit, to make you read a little between the lines….that’s where all the best stuff is anyway, right?)
I will seem a lot younger than I am. (in a good way....I think)
So, what would the woman that I would love to meet be like? Really, she could be like a myriad of things because you can’t reduce her to a handful of statements. But, she might have a few of the following qualities…..
She is happy, content, optimistic & positive, and you know it because of how much she laughs and smiles.
She loves adventure and outdoor activities, one or two of which are the same ones I love. ( but when friends ask what I like about her, this doesn’t even make the bottom of the list )
She values keeping herself fit and strong, both physically and mentally.
She is compassionate & passionate.
She realizes that dogs are people too.
She�s both outdoorsy and girly, sometimes in the same day.
She is confident, but not afraid to reach out to me when she needs a little help.
She understands that we all live the life that we choose to live. We reap the benefits of what we choose to try.
So that’s what she is like. If you have seen her, tell her I’ve been asking about her.

Meet people from United States. Happy playing outside in Boulder. Like to travel - biking in Italy, visiting cousins in Paris. In fact I have family all around the country and world and am close with them. Also into movies and reading - reasons to enjoy a rare CO rainy day! Spent a long time in school and try to put all that education to good use. Challenging job is interesting and can be fun. But am doing a lot more volunteer work the last few years. Trying to find time to write a non-fiction book I've been researching. Family is important - hoping to start/add-to/be-part-of one of my/your own.

Date a man from United States. Soooo . . . I have three small children (triplets), and I've been divorced for about three years. The kiddies live with me half the time, and between them and work, I'm pretty busy. My goal in life is getting my children to adulthood happy, healthy, and sane. However, I have space in my life for another person. As I say at the top of my profile, I'm not looking for a hookup, or necessarily for my next wife, but I am looking for a companion/serious relationship. My profile name refers to the presene of my kids, because while I am not all kids, all the time, they are an extremely important and non-fungible part of my life :)
My friends would describe me as funny, big-hearted, and talkative, though every Meyers-Briggs test I've ever taken shows that I am an introvert. I would describe myself as good-humored and introspective. I can appreciate quiet and solitude, but I'm happy to talk about politics and religion at the dinner table :) I like doing things - hiking, going to movies, etc.
I'm from the East Coast. After college, I worked for the government overseas, ending up in Mexico City. I came to Boulder in my early 30s to go to law school, and I have never left Boulder. I like that it is a healthy, well-educated, progressive place. I like being close to the great outdoors, and I love the mountains. It also has to be one of the best places to raise kids.
I played a lot of sports throughout my life - I was a rower in college and for a few years thereafter, and I played rugby into my mid-30s, but to me, sports have always been a diversion, not the focus of life. I do go the gym a fair amount, and, as I mention elsewhere, I am not a rock climber - many people assume I was a football player, because I am a lot bigger than most Boulderites. In my spare time, I read, hike, and build furniture. I took up woodworking a few years ago because I find it relaxing to learn a manual skill, and it's nice to produce tangible results. For similar reasons, I enjoy cooking, too.
I don't really have a specific "type" - I imagine a woman with a kid or kids of a similar age to mine would understand some of the challenges in my life, and I in hers, better than someone who has never had a kid or been married, though it is a not a dealbreaker. I'm looking for a woman who is smart, funny, likes to talk about books she's read or politics, and is athletic (or at least active). Tall and willing to drink a beer are both pluses :) And a sense of shared values, though that is harder to define or communicate via a profile.

Meet someone special from United States. Since I was young, all I wanted was something simple: someone to love and someone to love me and treat me as I treated them. Over the years I've finally come to the conclusion that, for me at least, that person does not exist, and certainly not here. In fact, all I've found here, with very few exceptions, are plastic people, more than willing to play the game of dating a dozen guys at once, and simply using them all to take them out for a good time (until they wise up), all the while lamenting "the lack of good guys". Laughable, that. I can't believe people can sleep at night treating others like that, but, that seems to be the world we live in now. I'm going to leave this up for a few days, then I'm closing my account. Best of luck to the few nice ones out there.
==============================
I'm going to try something different. I'm not going to talk about what I like to do, or how I like to travel, or how I'm into this sport or that sports team, blah, blah, blah. These are all more minor things that we could learn about each other. Instead, I'm going to describe who I AM, and who I seek. The qualities and characteristics that really matter.
Of note: For those of you concerned about dating a man with a young child, for now, I only have her every other weekend from 9AM-5PM (not overnight) and twice a month for a few hours every other week. I'm not looking for a "mother" for her as she has one, but she's a joy to be with and would bring the same joy to your life that she brings to mine.
As for me, I'm the guy who will always open the door for you. The one who actually WILL call you if and/or when he says he will. I'm the one you can talk to about anything, anytime. The one who would be happy to cook something for you, however simple, just to make you smile. The one who remembers how you like your coffee. The one who will leave little notes in your purse so you can find them at work and smile thinking about me. The one who will rub your neck or back when it's sore. The one who will actually put thought and effort into getting you something for your birthday, or Christmas, to find something just right. The one who will stroke your face gently as you drift into sleep and make sure to kiss you first thing in the morning and last thing in the evening.
I'm looking for an affectionate woman with integrity, honesty, and loyalty. One who wants to be treated special, and is also willing to reciprocate to me my affection for her. I love to ride my sportbike and if she loved to ride, extra bonus points for that too.
For the physical aspects, I'm 6'1", 215 lbs and athletic, 1/2 Italian (hint for the bonus points), 1/4 Swedish and 1/8 Irish and English (if you can believe that). For the woman I seek, I'm attracted to thin (not anorexic), to athletic, and "average" only if it's towards the athletic end. I understand "average" is a pretty broad category, but this is my stated preference. Not to be mean or anything, but that's my preference. I realize I'm pretty grey for 46, but the listed age is correct, and I'm not into being artificial, including dying my hair or beard. What you see and what you read is what you get.
I'm somewhat shy at first, I'm honest to a fault, I don't serial date, and I don't play games. Bonus points to those who can translate what I'm seeking.
Interested?
