Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Boulder, 48 year old

Date men and women from United States. I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnng jacket ...
Actually, aside from the Cake lyrics, I'd settle for a serving of honest conversation and fun. On a side note (excuse the pun), integrity is important to me, so please don't take my playful side too seriously. Thanks.
As for me, I'm easy going, fun, adventurous, ambitious, and easy to talk to. I'm positive minded w/ a healthy dose of competitive spirit.
Exercise is very important to me and serves as a constant reminder about how beautiful this world and life is for us. If you are not a fit person who doesn't exercise at least 3x a week, we probably wouldn't be a good match.
I love being in the great Colorado outdoors and hope you do, too. Otherwise a fun evening playing house is always in the cards.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Writing a profile is easy when you realize one goal is to deactivate your Match profile.
That’s right, you just want to meet the right person, and be in person instead of online. We even get to be in Match commercials, live off the residuals, and spend the rest of our lives traveling. Like the guy in the Subway commercials except we didn’t have to lose weight and we’re much cuter.
The backstory? I’m from California, and lived in New York City and Europe (twice). But I love Colorado and it’s home: it's a great balance of big city and outdoor fun. To get the Big 3 out of the way, like everyone on Match: I love travel, sushi is scrumptious, and dogs are furry and awesome.
Adventurous? I enjoy trying anything, whether checking out the new happening place or traveling to exotic locales. I've visited about 35 countries, many multiple times. I’m gregarious which gets me into unusual situations - I once met Flea at a bar in Germany and we ended up thumb wrestling. Flea won, but the Chili Peppers put me and my date on the guest list for their next show. (everything on my profile is true - including age, height, flat stomach, and full head of hair)
Like humor? Besides my career in marketing and video, I write and direct comedies (short films and plays). Why not join me at my next premiere? Being active is fun. I bike, hike, ski, snowboard, etc. I’m honest and thus must confess I’m not a skilled dancer, but I would enjoy taking lessons because it’s fun and romantic.
I’m passionate about my career, and clear about my purpose. Family and friends are very important. My four best friends I’ve known since elementary school. I’m very close to my family, and value being a great father to my son and daughter, 18 and 15.
What am I seeking in a relationship? Enjoying adventures together. Supporting each other’s visions and dreams. And over time the best of friends. We have things in common, but we’re also different in some ways – that keeps things interesting. I'm very athletic, and youthful in looks and lifestyle, so if you're younger than me we'll connect great.
My best guy friend met his fiancee on Match. Perhaps we're a match: you're reading my profile, and everything happens for a reason. So before one of our accounts is hijacked by Nigerian scam artists, wink or email me.

Date someone special from United States. I am looking for in a relationship is my best friend. That woman I can spend time with, who when we look at each other, we both know what the other is thinking. That woman who sees me walk into the room, and lights-up.. When we are together we can have the best time, doing nothing at all. That woman who I can share my dreams, and visions with. A woman who we can sit for hours. Carrollton exchange 292

Meet a man from United States. I’m happiest when I am out in wild nature – walking, hiking, x-country skiing, floating down a river -- or just wandering the land and tending to the birds and dragonflies, the way wind moves on water and light moves on stone. The redrock canyons of southern Utah bring me alive in a way that is still difficult to explain in words. My heart opens for evening primrose in the desert, quickens at the sight of calypso orchid in the forest, sings with coyote at night. I track the phases of the moon and watch for signs of the greening spring.
I thrive on authentic presence, heart and soul more than busyness, status, accomplishment, or entertainment. I am passionate about living a life that matters and makes a difference. I know myself as affectionate and loving, earthy and sensual, soulful and spiritual, grounded and practical. I am learning to approach life both as a journey and as a conversation with the world.
My nine-year-old daughter is with me half-time, and I delight in being her dad. We like to explore new places, dance to goofy music, and we are learning Aikido together. She is a big part of my life, and I recognize parenting as the crucible of my own growth these days.
I’m looking for a friend, companion and ultimately a loving partner with whom to share this amazing journey and conversation, the joyful delights and the mysterious depths of intimacy. Someone with an alive sense of wonder who is not afraid of peering into the shadows. Someone who enjoys a hearty adventure in the big outside, and is equally content to curl up together for a quiet evening at home, taking joy in the simple pleasures of home and family. Someone who is self-aware and ready to co-create an authentic, loving partnership that brings even more beauty into this world.
A good conversation is full of surprises and never turns out quite the way we expect. Life is full and beautiful, and I'd like to meet a woman with a resonant approach to life who is interested in creating something real together. Let’s meet and see what might unfold.

Date people from United States. Having lived in CO Springs, Denver and now Boulder for the last 10 years, I consider myself a native of Colorado. I would have to say one of the favorite places I have lived was Palo Alto, CA. Thinking about taking drives along PCH, stopping at a random spot along the coast and sleeping on the beach brings back great memories.
I am easy going, intelligent, caring, fun to be with, warm, humorous and outgoing. I love meeting new people and being social, but I appreciate my alone time. I hope to find a relationship that encourages the balance between time together and doing our own thing.
II enjoy a healthy life style, and although I am no longer a competitive athlete I stay active. Quite some time ago I played competitive ice hockey through college and then was the assistant coach of Penn State's team. Hockey is a passion but due to a back injury playing that crazy game I have had to slow the pace down. However, I do get on my skates at times and would love to meet someone who can take a few laps around the rink. I also love to take walks, hike, rock climb, play tennis and backgammon of all things. Occasionally I write poetry and go to readings to share my scribbling. I am thinking of taking salsa lessons so if you are interested that would be great.
You . . . I would like you to be someone who inspires me to become a better person and I hope to be the same for you. I would love for you to be a friend, someone with whom I can be myself. It is important that you be honest and I will do the same. I don't expect perfection and know both of us will make mistakes. Falling down, breaking a nail, picking yourself up and brushing yourself off while laughing hysterically is something I hope you will feel comfortable doing because I certainly will (except for the breaking a nail bit). You don't take life too seriously, but you do have a serious side. And you embrace (or at least tolerate) my being silly.
Good luck with your search.

Meet single man from United States. It's hard to argue with Destiny's timing. Love, like life as a whole, seems to be a mysterious stew of fate, chance and choice. Free will is not always the main ingredient, but making our best effort definitely sets the stage for the other elements to bring joy and fulfillment.
I ordinarily place a very high value on humility. But in this setting, it seems best to set aside my distaste for self-marketing and attempt a clear description of my achievements and personality. (Despite the disclaimer, this still feels kind of icky!) Educationally, I earned an Ivy League bachelor's degree in philosophy and psychology, so I'm definitely inclined to ponder the Great Questions. Vocationally, it's fair to describe me as something of a Renaissance man: sports equipment inventor / entrepreneur (with several patented products sold throughout the world and others on the way); widely-published arts journalist (with credits in the nation's top newspapers and beyond); occasional computer geek; international power traveler; and ex-pro athlete-performer. Some years ago I was described in a major West Coast newspaper as a "legend" in my sport, and in 2007 I spent some time working as a board-sports artist with Cirque du Soleil.
Underneath a driven exterior, I'm strong yet highly intuitive, compassionate, empathic, idealistic and romantic, with a high emotional IQ. In less serious and philosophical moments, I'm prone to a quick ironic wit and a mischievous playful streak. Extremely loyal, I maintain lasting contact with friends old and new around the world.
I'm looking for a woman of commitment, dimension, substance and achievement (broadly conceived - true achievement doesn't always equate to glamor, glory, or riches). My ideal partner is a seeker of truth, wisdom and intimacy who actively pursues passions, dreams and ideals on a scale that positively impacts the world (locally, regionally, nationally or beyond). She has a creative, reflective spirit; a warm, mature communication style; and the courage to give and receive deeply. Like me, she is generously affectionate and passionate, with an abiding love of the soulful aesthetic. It would be a plus if you have, like myself, a background or interest in the arts or expressive movement.
Having said all that, let me add a few qualifiers: It's tempting to think that deep, lasting connection can be found quickly via Internet services such as this. Sometimes that happens, but usually it takes time to get to know people. Repeat: It takes time to get to know people. When strong chemistry appears, it often seems best to risk hurt and check things out (to some degree). But slow is still good. You have to observe others over time to discern how sincere, stable and dependable they truly are.

Date men and women from Boulder, United States. I'm caring, hard working. Love to exercise, cook. very athletic. My friends would describe me as funny, protective, jack of all trade. I can dress down, dress up to make you look good when we go out. I hope that special lady knows that I care enough to do that for her.

Meet a soulmate from Boulder, United States. I am an outgoing person after getting past initial reservations. I am in good shape and try hard to take care of myself. I have no mental or emotional issues and really just want to find the right someone who can appreciate me and that I can appreciate. I am a giver in most relationships and really have no reservations when it comes to our friendship/relationship. I do know how to spoil a lady I feel is special enough to deserve it. I am real and just expect the same. I am searching for a friend -lover-companion-who wishes to have dreams come true together. I do not expect perfection in fact do not want anything to do with it. I just want someone to understand and to be understood and appreciated. I am tidy (mostly) - libertarian leaning, intelligent and degreed, fun loving and romantic in nature. I believe mother nature knows best and that fun can happen at any time with anything. Love to travel and be outdoors as much as indoors. Not robert redford but certainly not gomer pyle. Mostly John Denver like.

Date someone special from Boulder, United States. Ideal First Date :
I contact the girl and tell her to meet me at Applebee's @7:00
I show up 1/2 hour late so she already bought herself 2 drinks
We have the hostess bring us to a table and I repeatedly ask my date " Don't you think the hostess is cute ?

Meet a man from Boulder, United States. I just retired from the U.S. Air Force in Las Vegas Nevada. I recently moved to Boulder to get out of Las Vegas and be closer to my mom and sister. I like the climate and people here alot better! 14 years in Las Vegas was too long! I spent the 80's in the PI (Philippines) and Morbach Germany.

Date people from Boulder, United States. My friends tell me that I'm funny, smart, people loving and sociable. As a public speaker I've also become an extrovert, and with a successful entrepreneurial business, I have time to walk places, hang out at local cafes, visit with friends and play.
I'm a lifelong fan of cinema and write about movies on a weekly basis. It's pretty fun being a film critic, but it means I watch a lot of movies and regularly attend press screenings, often weeks before films are released. (and I can usually bring someone else along :-)
What about you?
Answering the profile questions made it clear to me that I don't care how tall you are, the color or length of your hair or your eye color. You do need to be vivacious, have great energy and be able to sense that "spark" when we touch then both laugh about it and wonder "hmmm....." at the same time. I'd hope you were active, but not some crazy fitness lunatic who can't just lounge around in bed on a Sunday morning, reading a good book, playing a game, or just staring at the ceiling fan and talking about your dreams and aspirations.
After having spent too much time with judgmental people, you need to be open minded, open to life and ready to laugh at what's different and, perhaps, a bit weird, rather than reject it for not being "normal". I couldn't care less if you have tattoos, body piercing, or a crazy hair style, as long as you're fun and easy to be with. Oh, and no drama too, please!
You should probably not be too shy: I try to squeeze the most fun out of a situation, even when others are sometimes glaring at me and wondering why I'm violating some goofy taboo or social norm. I figure life is what you make of it, and I've always wanted to make it fun, fun, fun, 'till ya take my T-bird away... :-)
I'm very focused on the future and don't dwell on the past. We all have a path that's led us to this point in our lives, please, don't still be obsessed or caught up in the drama of your previous relationship. I'm sympathetic but many women I've met haven't had much to talk about other than their ex. I don't want to be your therapist or your dad and certainly don't expect you to be other than a sexy date with a sweet smile and a gift for conversation.
In the spirit of setting expectations: I'm not into skiing, 100-mile bike rides, triathlons or free-climbing sheer cliffs, nor am I seeking to travel extensively. I'd rather catch a movie, listen to a band or play a board or card game. :-)
Sound like we could be friends and perhaps even more? Then drop me a note or otherwise reach out. Please, though, don't just "wink" at me. If you think we might have some basis to connect, let me know!

Meet single man from Boulder, United States. And now for something completely different. A poem I wrote a few years ago. (Don't know if other guys are doing this which reminds me of a funny story. The first time I was ever on match several years ago, I wanted to see what the "competition" was writing so I put in women seeking men in my age bracket. I didn't know people could see who's viewed them at the time. I was very surprised when I got a wink from a very handsome man. At least I'm attractive to someone. Just too bad not the team I'm looking to play with :-)
The Love of a Good Woman
The love of a good woman
Is surely here to stay
So why! Tell me why?
Would I choose ever walk away?
Beauty, style, and grace
All are sure to fade
Like any random flower
On an early summer day
But the love of a good woman
Is surely here to stay
So please tell me. How?
I could elsewhere want to lay
Fantasies are just that
Making promises they can’t fulfill
They promise something better
But only deliver a bitter pill
They trick you with distractions
As they throw ever new and enticing bones
And with each and every chew
I’m further away from home
But the love of a good woman
Yes! Is surely here to stay
God! Please help me remember?
If I think again to walk away
Thinking love lies in excitement
In something new each and every day
Thinking love lies in adventure
In something just beyond today
But the love of a good woman
Her love lies in today
In all her tiny interactions
Each expressions of her love’s way
From a simple thoughtful reminder
To a meal transformed through love
To the melding of your bodies
As you spoon like hand in glove
Slow and steady like the seasons
This is her love’s way
Deeper with each repetition
And in the repetition I learn to pray
For prayer really is appreciation
Not pleading for what I think I need
Yes, real prayer is unending
Not fulfilling my ever changing greed
Yet, how can I truly appreciate?
What I don’t take the time to know
How can I discover?
What I don’t take the time to sow
So adventure and excitement
Are but a fleeting treat
But if I want something substantial
I must do more than simply greet
I must take the time to understand her
To accept her just the way she is
I must let go of expectations
I must see her perfection and her bliss
Yes, real love lies in the moment
As this moment unfolds in love
Yes, real love lies in relationship
As each reveals their matching glove
So, the love of a good woman
Is surely here to stay
I choose the love of a good woman
Lying in the simplicity of today
Anyway, Like almost everyone on this site, I like to travel, dine out, enjoy the outdoors, theater, sports events, night in with a movie and a little wine, etc as time permits.
I'm in the health field so being health and fitness conscious is important to me. I'm looking for someone who is generally fit, healthy and comfortable with themselves. This doesn't mean perfect (we're all works in progress) but someone willing to continue growing. I'm looking for someone who is sincere about life but doesn't take themselves or life too seriously, someone who likes to laugh and can laugh at themselves.. Basically, I 'm just looking for someone who is real, I'm attracted to, and is willing to grow and share a life. Finally, the all allusive and unquantifiable chemistry. Gotta have it. Take care.
If I seem of interest to you, it would be great to get an email. O/W thanks for reading this far and I wish you well on your search.
