Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Boulder, 56 year old
Date people from Colorado, United States. I have an adventurous spirit and a twinkle in my eye. I am physically fit, smart, honest, and a lover of the outdoors, I lead a life reminiscent of Indiana Jones: a mild-mannered academic who teaches at home and encounters adventures while working in remote places. I have been accomplished in several careers during my life: a therapist, an adventure guide, a professor, and and now a conservation biologist. I have seen the unusual, the exotic, the uncharted, and the unexplored; and I have gained an unparalleled enthusiasm for life and appreciation for humanity. I see things through a wide lens, and the result is evident in my zest for living, values, and deep appreciation for humanity. These are a valuable part of who I am and what I have to offer those who know me.
I can be a dichotomy at times...an extroverted introvert; complicated open book. I love being outdoors, wild places, nature, and the sensuality of adventure. I am driven by a free-spirit, an open mind, and a fun-loving attitude. My friends describe me as caring, intelligent, honest, passionate, and joyful. Although I am well educated formally (perhaps too well?), nothing can surpass the education of life. I have learned to take what might seem like insurmountable stumbling blocks to others and have turned them over into stepping stones to greater opportunities. I have 2 great sons who are growing up before my eyes, and with whom I have a fantastic and close relationship. They have traveled with me around the world and truly are among my best friends.
I hope to find a partner to share the exploration of new places, active days, and quiet evenings. Someone who is comfortable with silence, as well as able to let it all hang out sometimes. I look forward to sharing the simplicity of a day outdoors, a night out on the town or a quiet evening at home, and the excitement of worldly travels.
I hope to meet a woman who lives with all of her senses fully engaged: her sense of self, her sense of purpose, her sense of humor, her sense of adventure, her sense of awe and her sense of wonder. In other words, she is far from senseless. Yes, she is physically attractive, but if that outer package is not authentically sustained by a deep, emotional, balanced, engaging, and spirited personality, those good looks can suffer a limited shelf life.
So, forget what they told you in Kindergarten! It’s okay to color outside of the lines! Experience life! Take a bite and then ask for seconds! Go left instead of right. Go here instead of there. Life is an adventure. My challenge is to outlive my life and leave a legacy of inspiration. And, on the days I simply need to recharge my internal batteries, then kick back, grab a soothing cup of coffee, and observe the passersby.
If I have sparked your interest, I won't know unless you tell me!
Meet a soulmate from Colorado, United States. You won’t find any pictures of me here on a motorcycle, standing next to my car leanin' on my truck, carrying a gun or holding up my latest catch. Not that I have anything against that sort of thing, I just never thought those props represent my character. - Riding a go kart on the other hand... well that has to show a sense humor. Of course, like others here, I wouldn't be the first to exclaim how much I love everything that makes Colorado such a wonderful place to live. So instead of me reciting you all the great things I do, how about something a bit more personal? Let's face it, that's what we're here for isn't it? If you want to know something about the person behind my pictures read on. The rest you can figure from my pics.
Over the years I have come to believe that most people are good at heart - perhaps because I have learned to be less judgmental as I have eperienced how it feels to be judged. I understand that laughter starts with being able to laugh yourself before laughing at someone else. While often a quick wit, I am careful to tread lightly on the dignity of others. I like exploring life's many adventures and drinking in all the experiences I can. I am a faithful friend and partner, and I enjoy the intimacy and friendship of knowing someone for a long time. I enjoy deeper conversations about life but I have a mischievous side which I will come out if I think it will bring out the better side of someone else. I am most comfortable living in the grey areas. I have been known go out in public and try to make a connection with a perfect stranger just to find a way to cut through their public facade and make them laugh. Because of that, it is my playful nature and open heart people notice first. If you were to ask me what I value most in my friends and partners, I would probably tell you an inquisitive mind and a commitment to living in the present with enthusiasm and a lgenerous heart. I admire those who can celebrate life with all its ups and down, and do so without too many regrets or being fearful of making mistakes.
Now if you think I sound like some boy scout, rest assured I am not. Over the years, I have seen and done a few things that have taught me a lot about the person I was and the person I wanted to become. I am a firm believer that we attract those in our life by the way we live our life . Because of that, these days I strive to make only commitments I can keep, and live with the consequence of my own actions. I am hoping to meet someone with a similar passion for life and room in their heart and life for a meaningful relationship. I am active and athletic, perhaps more so than some think I should be at this age, but it undeniably keeps young and allows me to continue to do the things I love. I am hoping to find someone who has a similar zest for life and values those family and friends who exemplify the best human qualities.
I have worked hard to keep myself open and honest with others, and to mainatin a positive outlook on life; and despite all the risks and obstacles I have never felt there wasn’t enough room for that one other great person in my life. Maybe that's you.
Date men and women from Colorado, United States. I am new to Boulder and and would like to meet new friends. I work in the energy field and find little time to have relationships.
I am looking for a woman that wants to travel and is affectionate, has free time to enjoy pursuits in hiking, biking and the social life of Boulder.
Meet single man from Colorado, United States. I am your standard profile: reliable, kind, generous, diverse person who enjoys traveling, SCUBA, hiking, or hanging out in the sun, sand, snow, or a street side cafe. A below average activity level for Boulder I guess...
Date someone special from Colorado, United States. Active, creative, passionate Boulder guy. Non-conformist, nature lover, spiritual, and proud father of 2 older kids. I work in the energy-environmental area and try to do my small part for a better planet. For fun I enjoy hiking, biking, music (rock, jazz, and world music are my favorites), ethnic food, and travel. I'm a vegetarian (mostly!) and live a healthy lifestyle, but I'm not fanatic about it. I have lived overseas for 5 years mainly in Brazil and India, so I have an international outlook, and I make a mean caipirinha!
I am seeking someone in the Denver-Boulder area with similar interests and values as mine, someone progressive who cares about about helping people and/or the planet, someone with an open mind and heart, someone to learn from and grow with. I'm generally a happy, glass half full and self-aware type person (at least I like to think so!), but I'm looking for someone special to share the adventure of life with. I'm physically, emotionally and financially healthy, and looking for the same in a woman.
Meet a man from Colorado, United States. I would love to share adventure, strong emotional/physical connection, and friendship with a curious, open, and confident partner. I am a very energetic psychologist who enjoys dancing (especially salsa), biking, swimming, hiking, kayaking, skiing, and windsurfing. I watch some sports, esp. college basketball, but prefer to participate more than spectate. I watch little tv, being very turned off by commercialism and egotism on the tube. I love to follow current events (NPR fan), and prefer someone who enjoys this too. I like socializing, but am quite content to read (a lot) and listen to music, e.g. jazz, rock, r@b, folk. Michael Buble is one of my current favorites. Some of my best vacations have been Italy, France, Costa Rica, Virgin Islands, Sayulita, Telluride, Yosemite, and Hawaii. I am drawn to healthy vacation spots and to healthy foods.
While very comfortable financially, I choose to live simply and green, e.g. bike more than drive (it's easy in Boulder), and enjoy camping. My humor tends toward the ironic and playful. I am very fortunate that I have a very good balance between work and play. I embrace challenge - moved from D.C. without knowing anyone in Colorado to start a new business (and was one of the better decisions I've made).
I love children, work a lot with them in my private practice, and would welcome parenting. I also can accept that may not happen, and am most concerned about partnership. I consider myself to be an honest, resilient, and passionate person who seeks an equal relationship. I appreciate a partner who is willing to confront difficult issues respectfully. I look forward to talking with you if you share similar interests and values.
Date people from Boulder, United States. Recently relocated to Boulder from New York beach community. I am a single dad who raised my 21year old daughter for many of her years on my own. I love being a dad. Play lots of racquet sports, and enjoy time at the gym. Love to laugh incredibly hard, usually at myself or the insanity around me. Have a great life, enjoy my work and the freedom it allows me. Looking for a partner that loves kids, and does not put themselves at the center of the universe. Needs to be an honest, unconditional love relationship that is fun and positive. Like to be extremely active and end the day physically and mentally exhausted and then start all over again the next day. Anything that happened more than a second ago is in the past and not worth thinking about. Want to enjoy the now and not worry about then.
Meet a soulmate from Boulder, United States. I am a very sincere hard working guy, pretty regular in every way. Love animals and kids but, have neither. Prefer large dogs. Do not want kids. I was married for a very short time which in the end, brought me to beautiful Boulder! I love Colorado and all the activities the area has to offer. Although I love the city, I prefer to be closer to the mountains.
Moved to CO over three years ago. Love the outdoors and doing new things. I'm very spontaneous and willing to try almost anything.
Looking for an attractive woman who likes to do more than watch TV and has a good sense of humor. I would like to make a new friend who might enjoy some basic company, a concert or a movie, a simple glass of wine. I prefer women that are slim, cute, educated and in decent shape. Love a good smile. I enjoy someone who maintains their own identity and has their own personality. Funny, witty, curious, seeks adventure and can pack for a trip in a few hrs. A good soul who likes to do nice things for others. Someone who pays it forward often for no particular reason. I like honest women who like to enjoy life without any drama. Simple women who can enjoy sitting with good company as well as going deep powder skiing at the spur of the moment.
I love music and art. I am a member of the Denver Art Museum and find myself running over to see the latest art exhibits and shows quite often. Red Rocks and music? Anytime......
Date men and women from Boulder, United States. Don’t let the professional status of IT specialist fool you! I am not one whose sole existence revolves around computers, technology, and all things analytical. Fun-loving and out-going, I can definitely turn up the volume on fun, romance, and relaxation when the time is right!
One of the defining hallmarks of my personality is my infectious sense of humor. When we are together, I can guarantee a steady dose of grins, smiles, giggles, and laughs. I will warn you, however….I do tend to laugh rather loudly! I guess I feel the joy to the core.
I have had the privilege of seeing the world during my life and am a big fan of international travel. I would love to continually expand my growing collection of life experiences with one dynamic leading lady by my side who has a current passport or at least the willingness to get one!
Outside of my full-time profession, I also have interests in travel writing and photography, which have provided an avenue for my adventures in travel. This lucky guy would love to bring a lucky gal along for the ride!
What I appreciate most in a woman is one born of honesty, character, and integrity. I hope to find that special person who will fully accept me for who I am, and I promise to appreciate all who she is.
Physically, I do appreciate a nice body and an attractive appearance, but more than anything, I hope to discover a spirited personality that richly embraces that outer package.
Meet single man from Boulder, United States. I am a very unpretentious man. I am also warm-hearted, affectionate, sensitive, fun-loving, adventurous, intelligent, honest and sincere. I enjoy whatching, dining out, reading, travel (by land, air or sea), white-water rafting, amusement parks (especially riding roller-coasters), theater and the arts, comedy clubs, street festivals, craft fairs, shopping, leisurely walks and/or drives, and spending quality time with people who are special to me. I love to pamper and lavish attention on my mate - and, I love to have the same reciprocated. The woman I'm looking for will be someone who is interested in cultivating a relationship worth savoring. she enjoys spending time with her mate loving, laughing, playing, walking hand-in-hand, and enjoying all that life has to offer. she is someone who pays attention to personal hygiene and dresses appropriately for the occasion - a " kinda lady". she will be someone I can believe in and count on during all of life's ups and downs. My ideal relationship would be with a woman who will, first and foremost, be my best friend as well as my partner in life, and my lover. I ask for nothing more than that which I will give to you.
Date someone special from Boulder, United States. The life I thought I would lead ended in divorce ten years ago.
Since then, I've focused most of my time and energy on my two sons. I thought they deserved my undivided attention and it seems to have paid off; they're doing fine and are old enough now to think they can get along without me ... until they need the car, or money, or both.
I also needed some time to try to figure out what went wrong. I don't know that I have that sorted out completely, or that I ever will, but I have reached the point where I've accepted it, and I'm ready to move on.
All of which is a long-winded way of saying, I need a date.
But, not just a date. I was never very good at serial dating and doubt that the passage of time has improved my skills. Ultimately, I'm interested in a relationship - a partner.
I know myself pretty well and know that at this age, I'm not going to change the substance of who I am. If you're looking for a "project," I'm not it.
I'm smart, serious when I need to be, and pretty damn funny the rest of the time. I get impatient, but am working hard on chilling out. I'm thoughtful and like to help others, but don't suffer fools gladly.
I like long, hard bike rides, good books, and most movies. I don't think I could make it without HBO and think Deadwood is the best thing ever put on television.
I love hot summer days, spring skiing, and sleeping with the windows open. Crisp, fall evenings make me happy and college football is still the best game in town.
I've turned myself into a Rockies fan, but still get bored when they're out of the playoff hunt. I can take or leave the Broncos and the NFL in general, can't stand professional basketball, and thanks to my kids, have discovered the joys of soccer.
I like most kinds of music, but don't consider myself an audiophile. I like dining out, a good bottle of wine, and intelligent conversation. I lean to the left of center politically, but voted for George Bush ... once.
Watching my kids have fun is my greatest joy, and I'm lucky enough to have had lots of opportunity. I get along fine with my ex and don't have any serious emotional baggage. I'm loyal, trustworthy, won't lie to you or cheat on you, and am professionally and financially stable.
I will like you if you are smart, nice, sincere, honest, funny, physically fit, emotionally stable, and financially secure. I'll really like you if you ride a bike, or if you are interested in giving it a shot. I've found that biking relaxes me and keeps me in relatively decent shape, so I ride often. It would be great to share that with someone.
So, there you have it. Send me an email if you're interested and, if you aren't, good luck - we're all in this together.
Meet a man from Boulder, United States. Nice, normal, outgoing guy that enjoys being romantic. Humor is especially important to me. I enjoy making people laugh or at least trying to. I’m outdoor oriented and athletic but also enjoy a wide range of cultural pursuits. The basic things in life are most important to me - like spending time with family and friends or cooking a great meal for someone special. I’m interested in meeting someone that’s attractive and passionate. Someone focused on taking good care of themselves both physically and mentally. Common interests, values and goals are great but I'm most interested in finding a woman that keeps me laughing and makes my heart skip beats whenever they're with me. Is there anyone out there that actually recalls taking Home-Ec and knows how to cook? Do they still teach Home-Ec?
