Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Boulder, 54 year old

Date a soulmate from Boulder, United States. Well, with an opening tag line like that, I should probably explain....
'Retired' just means I was able to leave a successful engineering career and now I'm fortunate enough pursue new ventures and opportunities. I spent 25 years in the button-down corporate world then grabbed a retirement package as everything was being sold off and moved to Asia. No more daily commuting, suit & ties, or 6AM conference calls. The world makes sense again!
Outdoor activities are important to me, and Colorado is the perfect playground. Lately it's mostly running trails in preparation for hiking & backpacking through the backcountry. I've always been interested in maintaining optimum health, and have gradually become part-time vegetarian over the years. I'll typically make exceptions in social situations, but otherwise have stuck with it. No political agenda, just trying to stay healthy.
I currently live in the hills outside Boulder and love waking up on quiet mornings with the fresh smell of pine outside. Of course living up here just makes me more anxious to grab the backpack and head higher! I lug around a big camera and tripod when trudging through the mountains & deserts, and I have 20 years worth of large format film I'm currently scanning into mural-sized archival prints. Over time, these photo trips have become primarily a solo activity, so I don't really expect anyone to like it as much as I do, just tolerant enough to understand there are times I have be out in the cold waiting for a picture at sunrise.
I'm looking for someone with somewhat similar interests as mine, yet also has her own interests that I can learn from, too. Someone who is encouraging and supportive, but still knows when creative criticism can be beneficial. She is sensitive, caring, sentimental, spontaneous, adventurous, honest, playful. Is that you?

Meet someone special from Boulder, United States. Hello. First off, I'm a very playful morning person -- nothing like a good tickle, laughter, and plenty of kisses to start the day. My beagle is also a morning person. Nice to get outside and moving with her. I would love to meet a muse to love and to explore places that road trips can take us and to discover shared places of the heart. I'm a very good companion and co-creator. Here's to creating the future each of us wants. And here's to meeting you!

Date people from Boulder, United States. I love to travel and to meet and share life experiences with people from other cultures. I grew up in NYC but have been living in Colorado for the past 18-years. I also lived in Europe for 6-years and consider it a second home. I love being around people with diverse beliefs and backgrounds. I believe in equal rights for all people regardless of their race, religion, color, background, gender, or sexual preference.
International travel has always been a favorite activity of mine. I spent breaks from school abroad, biked across Europe, worked on a Roman archeological dig, took a year off to just travel and explore, did the Kibbutz thing, have traveled to dozens of countries, and I recently took an around-the-world adventure with my daughter.
I have two amazing kids that I cherish and I am very close with. I was a single dad for most of their lives. My son is just starting university, and my daughter is in her 2nd year.
I love to read and especially enjoy learning more about philosophy, history, science, evolution, sociology, and astronomy. I am passionate about living as environmentally friendly and cruelty-free a life as we can. I believe that all sentient beings have inherent rights not to be killed, used, or harmed for the pleasure or entertainment of others. I live a vegan life style for those ethical reasons, but I also believe that plant based diets are better for the environment, more sustainable for our world’s rapidly growing population, and offer more health benefits and less health risks.
Physical fitness has also always played a major roll in my life. I studied gymnastics, jazz, and ballet in my teens, and I was on the tennis team when I was in college. I still love biking, hiking, scuba diving, dancing, swimming, and running. I believe that good nutrition and physical fitness are the foundations of a fuller, happier, and richer life. I run several half marathons and 10Ks each year around the country and internationally.
My professional focus has been educating organizations on environmental issues, providing practical engineering advice, and trying to inspire corporate responsibility in energy efficiency. Our efforts have reached thousands of people worldwide.
My ideal partner cares deeply about the world we live in, and the world we will pass on to future generations. She respects all life and doesn't want to harm any sentient being. Her outlook on life is based on reason and knowledge, not superstition or conformity. She has experienced a lot of personal growth but knows in her heart how much more we all can continue growing. She is intelligent and confident but still has a thirst for knowledge and adventure. She is genuine and openly shares her deepest thoughts and emotions. She loves to travel and loves discovering and appreciating the world’s many natural wonders.
Thanks for reading my profile. If you share some of my passions or have a similar outlook on life, please drop me a line.

Meet single man from Boulder, United States. Looking for someone to go out and do things with. Nothing serious right now ... but maybe .... never say never. Like to get out and walk, hike, bike, explore, love to eat at new restaurants from little dives to unusual ethnic cuisine.

Date men and women from Boulder, United States. How can a person be original and not repeat all the things other men on this site have said about themselves and what they’re looking for. Impossible to do and exhausting to think about.
We all think we are funny, loving, compassionate, intelligent, health-conscious, athletic, attractive AND successful, and we’re all looking for Angelina Jolie and Mother Teresa morphed into one, although I’m willing to sacrifice Mother Teresa for Angelina Jolie. Besides, Mother Teresa is dead :) (Not sure its a good idea to put a smiley face after the sentence "Mother Teresa is dead").
So I’m going to skip all the wonderful things about myself and just say this: I am all of the above, but only sometimes, or maybe I should say I am some of the above all the time.
Other stream-of-consciousness facts about me,
- Have three daughters ages 16, 18, and 20 who are the apples of my eye (or is it apple of my eyes)
- Boulder resident for almost 30 years, but I still have my foreign accent
- Don't hunt, fish or ride motorcycles
- Have the time and the means to travel often. Will jump on a plane at a moments notice. Love to visit other countries and embrace their culture, but don't like to travel alone. Its all about sharing the experience.
- Without google I would be lost and life would be meaningless :)
As for what I’m looking for… Someone who is calm and at peace with themselves, physically and emotionally healthy, and who loves to (and can) travel.

Meet a man from Boulder, United States. I am a happy, spirited, and adventurous man - with exceptional intelligence, a strong sense of aesthetic beauty, and great sense of humor. I am young at heart, passionate, candid, authentic, conscientious, imaginative, clever, enthusiastic, creative, intuitive, stubborn (at times), ordinary, extraordinary, dependable, grounded (most times), respectful, kind, enterprising, and chivalrous. I am complex and yet always gravitate towards simplicity. I am deliberate yet easy going. I have high self-esteem, yet am humble. I have a deep reverence for nature.
I'd like to meet an exceptional woman. One is lighthearted and joyful. Someone who is independent yet nurturing. A woman who wants to laugh and play and explore. One who enjoys the outdoors. One who is positive, energetic, and affectionate - with a warm smile and kind heart. I seek someone who is communicative, affectionate, honest, playful, and fiercely loyal. Someone to laugh with, cherish, share mornings with, hike with, smile at from across the room at... etc... and have it all returned.

Date a soulmate from Colorado, United States. Good Day and hope you are enjoying these longer days of summer, trips to the mountains, and perhaps a hike or bikes when possible (so beautiful up there. Telluride is the best in the summer!). If my profile, picture and good energy all seem "right" please read on.
I love the outdoors, fun things in life, am positive by nature and want the best for my family, friends and the lucky one I meet. Passion and the willingness and desire to explore new places and ideas are important. You never know what's out there til you turn the next page and go around the next bend in the trail or road.
I also believe that chivalry is still a positive for most women and that respect, love, mutual independence and admiration can go a long way in a relationship. I'd like to meet just the right lady and show her that life can be fun adventure, together. Behind the smile in my photos is a very fun, interesting, passionate guy, you might like to meet.
You - warm and open, likes the sun, and the moon. Enjoys family, your friends and some time alone. You're diverse , love adventure, plus a positive outlook on life. Perhaps a good cook or can at least make a go at it with another who's willing. Kids or not no problem, just the ability to enjoy and appreciate your surroundings and of course find a way to have some fun in life each day a positive. Keeping fit, young at heart and open to unique interludes all good.
So, take a chance, reach out and say hello. Perhaps a sunset walk at my favorite lake, bike ride around the Boulder Rez or just good conversation by phone or in person might be a nice intro....I'd enjoy getting to know you and your take on life and relationships early on.
My motto - Go after the passion and adventure in life, after all, they maybe gone tomorrow....
have a wonderful day,
Steve

Meet someone special from Colorado, United States. Hello, nice of you to stop by. I am an active, educated, honest, caring man with an adventurous soul. I recently “got my life back” after switching from a career in coaching (collegiate strength and conditioning), which, although rewarding, does not allow for much of a personal life. I have always loved the Rockies and just moved back in April, ready to start this new chapter of life. I am young at heart, mind, and body and enjoy being active doing almost anything, especially outside, and I’m looking for friends of similar perspective. Hopefully friendship will develop into a long-term relationship to share life and its experiences.
I love spending time with friends, sharing and preparing good food and drink, and listening to music most all the time. I enjoy exploring new places and adventures, usually involving hiking, trail running, backpacking, kayaking, biking, swimming/snorkeling, snowshoes, and now in CO, skiing. I am passionate about spending time in and preserving our great outdoors, and take my Siberian husky whenever/wherever I can. I love most any sport, both to play and watch. My vices are my music collection, craft beers, and grilling/cooking/eating, and I love to swing dance so be prepared to get out your dancing shoes.
I believe communication is the key in any relationship, and I’m looking for someone who also believes that and is good at and willing to openly discuss anything. I am a very affectionate person and thrive on some good old flirting! Given these two, everything is possible!
I’m looking for a woman who is comfortable with herself, caring of others, honest, open, affectionate/flirtatious, intelligent, energetic, and has a propensity to smile and laugh – a lot! A bit of wit and frivolity would spice things nicely.
Please send email and I'll respond, but not to winks (unless delivered in person!). Realizing my drive-time tolerance limit, I am focusing on those closer to home/Boulder.

Date people from Colorado, United States. Even though, I already have a couple females in my life that I adore (my sixteen year old daughter and my dog) I am, unfortunately, missing the woman in my life to share my hopes, my dreams, my excitement, my laughs, my fears, my fun, my adventures, my love. While I sometimes work too much, I am both personally and financially secure. I have had enough schooling to know what I should and shouldn’t be doing in life, but have never stopped wanting to learn. Honesty and integrity are paramount, besides I’m a terrible liar so I don’t try. I say as I do and do as I say. Fun is taking longs walks, hikes, bike rides (mountain or road), talking for hours about anything that matters, sharing a fine red wine over dinner, strolling through a museum or art gallery, staring at the stars on a clear night in the mountains, sharing life with that special someone. Though, my daughter says I’m addicted to football, I generally only watch the Broncos and Buffs when they're competitive, which also goes for the Rockies and the Avs. My music tastes are Rock (older), Jazz and Classical. Usually, I keep the radio station on NPR or KBCO. I haven’t gone dancing in a while but sure would like to again. And, while I have closet full of suits it’s usually jeans and khakis for me now.
Ideally, I would like to find a best friend, companion and partner.
You are probably a little shy, smart and don’t want to hide it, not afraid to laugh at yourself, enjoy being outdoors whether it is sunny or raining, love animals and have one or two yourself, found that being physically active keeps you feeling young. You know who you are and are happy with that. You probably have been around the block and still believe the right guy might be just around the corner. So come on, take a peek.....

Meet single man from Colorado, United States. I'm athletic and fairly high energy, I love participating in almost all sports, and other physical challenges and enjoy watching many of them from time to time as well. I'm most at home in and on the water. I have a mix of conservative and not so conservative values. My family is important to me, as are loyalty, trust, a fun personality and a good sense of humor.
My ideal match is someone who is healthy, active, athletic, fun to be with, attractive, has a wide set of interests that generously overlap or are compatable with many of mine, can enjoy gardening in the morning, and a good hike, bike or swim in the afternoon, has a largely overlapping set of compatable interests, is independent, loving, compassionate, kind, empathetic, financially stable, relatively trauma and drama free, has good boundaries, loves kids and animals, can enjoy sharing simple experiences like sharing a glass of wine, making a healthy meal and eating together, and last but definately not least enjoys snuggling some when things settle down. If your major interests are tv shows, your career, and you don't know how to swim, or dont have good boundaries then... Please move along and I wish you the best of luck in your continued search.
I get excited when I see people grow and develop. It's fantastic to see a person accomplish or understand something that they didn't think they could do, especially if they had to work hard to achieve that goal. I love to see people get that "Ahhah, now I get it" experience around accomplishments of a physical, educational, emotional, relational, social or spiritual nature.

Date men and women from Colorado, United States. I am a fun, playful, intelligent person with a depth of perception and a multi-faceted life experience. I love what I do and have a passion for living. I've had such diverse work experiences as singer/entertainer, educational administrator, Life Coach, semi truck driver, sales rep, corporate manager, and auto mechanic. I have a Bachelors degree in Business Administration. My life has also centered around personal / spiritual growth. I meditate and practice yoga. I also have worked on healing my inner issues. Many people comment that I am a good listener who is very emotionally available. I am also health conscious, active, & athletic. I eat healthy and organic foods as well as excersize, jog & weight lift regularly. I am slender and muscular. I enjoy sharing activities with a partner like walks, hiking, bicycling, tennis, bowling, rafting, golf. I also like trading massage. I am also a contest winning dancer and a great lead. Yet, I also enjoy simple quiet times at home or going out to a restaurant to share about our lives. I love to know all about my partner, her life, history, family, feelings so that I can understand how to be a source of support and love for her journey in life as she could be for me.
I am looking for an attractive, caring, communicative, playful, & spiritually conscious woman. One who has explored personal and/or spiritual growth, has a meaningful career or service in the world, is health conscious with a good physique,& enjoys recreational activities. Most important is a willingness to work on honest communication to evolve loving intimacy.

Meet a man from Colorado, United States. I am crazy...about life, all that it offers, and what I can give back. I am fortunate to have many ways to express and show my gratitude. And I do.
For work, family or personal life....living in the now.
Born in DC, schooled in Philly and Palo Alto, I have lived in my Boulder home longer than anywhere else other than my parents' home. Here since 1998. Along the way, Philly, Sauasalito, Rowayton, Boston, and more.
Very curious. Always exploring. My bags are always packed. And they get a great deal of action.
A few things you may want to know about me:
- I am as curious if not more than when I was 5
- I laugh....at me, circumstances, the joy of life...and more
- traveled to 10 countries in the past year
- climbed Kilimanjaro
- do not own a pair of Tevas
- Hugo Boss fan (also Etro for men)
- blog...write....speak at conventions/conferences
- visit NYC, Boston and London several times per year...if not many months (mostly work...but some fun)
- massive Apple product fan (what would life be life without design-centric living?)
- believe Yoga (and quiche) is for real men
- never have owned a gun
- ski at least 20-30 days per year, with some days outside of the USA (Argentina, Chile or Canada) [best year was 52 days]
People describe me as a hybrid: living in the traditional software/venture world as a successful executive/leader/builder while enjoying food, art, adventures and yoga with equal gusto. Indie movies are my favorites. Moby to Metheny describes my music taste; global electronica or chill, in short.
I am warm, deep, look into your eyes, know how to give a memorable hug and kiss, love mornings in bed and terrific evenings out on the town. NYT on SU am is the special zone; decaf Chai or green tea in hand for the 2 of us. It's such a cool time: read, share what we each think or like, hug, talk or be still...breath...relax.
I am vulnerable; you can be vulnerable. It's terrific to be human.
I am far from perfect, because, like any very ambitious person who is out in the world a great deal, I have a capacity to intensely focus on my pursuits or projects when I need to.
But I do turn off all of the work stuff.
Yes, I am ready to meet and spend time with a terrific woman. Here's who you are if I seem right for you:
- smart, open, secure or getting there, and open to challenge/parity in a relationship
- positive outlook (really....not kidding....)
- capable of expressing your emotions in open, vibrant ways....like, hugs, kisses and compliments when deserved
- care for yourself; invest in yourself; believe in yourself
- you are on a growth path -- you actually want to grow, if not need it
- you exercise (probably ski)
- you seek a man who will be a source of positive reinforcement in those things that matter most to you...but who values his and your
independence
- travel is a passion (more than a dream...it is a priority to you...and you travel well)
- fun/adventure is a passion
- you are in no hurry to find the right man; you want what is right, versus a forced fit..but you are ready to show your 'self'
Most of all, I believe great people attract each other....and they know what is right when they see it or meet that person.
Are you ready to introduce me to your wonderful life? I'm interested to learn. And, when you are ready, I'd like to share with you what I am all about.
Ciao for now, Luis
