Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Broomfield, 47 year old

Date a man from United States. Okay, first things first, I’m still new to the Denver area, having moved out here from the DC area in March 2011. I moved to be closer to a great bunch of friends, and I’ve quickly adopted the more active Colorado lifestyle, including competing in my first triathlon in September 2011.
Next, I LOVE DOGS. Preferably big dogs. The ones you can wrestle with – like German Shepherds, Goldens & Newfies. I actually love cats too, dogs are just more giving. True unconditional love - the kind you feel with children. Time with my friends' or cousins’ kids always brings a smile to my face. I can spend hours playing with them or watching them play.
Time with family & friends is great. Social & extroverted, I enjoy meeting new people, although I need quiet time to myself. I try to surround myself with positive, optimistic people. Although I abhor bumper stickers, the one that says “Mean People Suck” sums it up well.
Are you happy with your life? Isn’t everyone on Match? I’m grateful for incredible parents, being close to my relatives, childhood friends who are still there for me, great health, not worrying about money, a passion that allows for real balance and contribution, being mistaken for being 5 - 10 years younger than I am.
That being said, being happy doesn’t mean being content. If we’re not improving, we’re declining. There’s no standing still. I’m constantly striving to improve in most areas of my life. Improve my health, my fitness, my relationships, my work/life balance (actually, I’m working on moving to increase imbalance here – more life & passion, less work, more income). Most importantly, improve my relationship with my life partner (by finding her); otherwise I wouldn’t be on Match.
Do you love active travel? Like breaking a sweat hiking the Inca Trail, playing sports at Club Med & meeting great people, or driving & hiking around Newfoundland. Do you like experiencing new countries for the vivid memories? Favorites include swimming with a sea turtle in the Galapagos, watching the sunrise through the Sun Gate overlooking Machu Picchu & racing back to climb Waynu Picchu for the incredible views in the same morning, and eating bangers and mash with a pint of Guinness in the Golden Lion Pub aboard QM2. What are your favorites? Which ones are next on your list of must see places?
Do you love to be outside in all seasons, and also enjoy getting dressed up and going to the symphony, a formal dinner with dancing, or an event? Do you love to hike all day in a foreign land, but want a hot shower & warm bed at night instead of roughing it in a tent? That’s fine by me.
I may not be totally toned & cut (I’m working on it – the toned part at least), but I can keep up with most people. I’ll try just about any sport at least once – even cliff jumping. (Okay, I did that more than once, but haven’t tried bungee jumping yet.)
Can you laugh at yourself? Friends describe my humor as more dry than most, more British than American. I'm quicker with a witty retort than an original joke, although I see humor in most of life's experiences. I love to laugh, even at myself. If you can imagine a 6’3” guy riding a tricycle with two other guys on race bikes for a high school skit...
What am I looking for in a woman? My partner in life's adventures, big & small. My best friend through the ups and downs. A shared connection, the kind of connection my parents had even after 40 years of marriage. You have the ability to forgive the inevitable mistakes that happen in life. (Hey, I’m a guy. I have one Y-chromosome. We think differently than you, but I’m smart enough to know when not to argue (most of the time).) Most important of all, you are someone I will fall in love with over and over again through the years
One final note to all who want a guy who knows how to use power tools and cook - I know how to use them and I can follow a recipe. I'm pretty good with a paint brush, faux finishes, and wallpaper as well.

Meet someone special from United States. It's time for me to be happy. I would like to find a person that is looking for true friendship and a companion that wants to have fun. I love joking around and laughing and above all being with people whether in a large group or just couples. I alsoreally enjoy the outdoors no mater what the season.

Date people from United States. Thanks for stopping by. Please no winks. Drop me a line if interested. I don't bite!. I'm passionate about everything I do. I’m a caring, thoughtful, real, fun and professional 46 y.o. looking for that special someone. People tend to notice my smile and that I make them laugh. I'm witty, engaging, loving, and even cerebral at times. I am well mannered and will always open doors for women. I was raised to simply treat others the way you'd like to be treated. I cherish the smallest of things in life and grateful for my family, friends and pets. What you see is what you get. Although I enjoy smiling and laughing, I'm a great listener and can play many different roles. I have learned so much from life and tend to approach things in a positive manner. Physically, I'm very petite; 6'3", 220 lbs., blue eyes, nice smile, bald, been told great hands, blah, blah, blah... I'm very active and have a wide array of interests. My greatest passion is for my volunteer work. Weekly, I volunteer for the Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center where I work with physically/mentally challenged kiddos as a horse leader. I help teach balance and stretching while on horses as well as general horsemanship. Love the outdoors (all of it) to enjoying the Wall Street Journal.
I'm a little gun shy about all this as I've been on before. There just seems to be a ton of b.s. out there! But, I'm hopeful and willing to give it my best! Looking for someone who is sweet, considerate, active, enjoys animals, affectionate, sexy, has a great sense of humor and even a little mischievous. A must is thoughtfulness and NO BS PLEASE!!! Be able to "walk the talk"! Also, I'd much rather meet for 15 minutes over coffee than emailing back and forth 10 times before deciding to meet. I'm too busy for that and bet you are too! Look forward to hearing from you. Aloha.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I want my best friend and a soul mate all in one. like most people of my age,we're mostly divorced,with kids,and other baggage. Is there a perfect person or scenario?,.....no,there's not. God designed us all to have imperfect lives to challenge us individually. I feel that there is truly no way to define a singular template that fits all-man or woman. Therefore, we mostly strive in great pursuit of some nebulous attainment of "completion" through a bond with another person,yet,time and time again,emotionally,we as people seem to be far more than imperfect. We seem to fail at our our own pre-destined goals that we foolishly set for ourselves. Forget perfection! It does not exist for "Thee". Yet, common ground in most facets of our being can be achieved between two people if we,as a collective,would just individually pull our proverbial heads out of our asses,and succombe to the reality of our circumstances,that we cannot achieve perfection. However,we,can achieve love,living,and solvency. If this is far too esoteric for you, I am dreadfully sorry.

P.S.- I really don't care for this online dating because it really sucks! Only about 8% of the women here are truthful with their photos,and lifestyle. I'm not into fat, chubby,"a few extra pounds",(yeah,right! my a$$-more like a "few DOZEN extra pounds"),etc.
I prefer a woman with a truly average body or better. So don't waste your time or mine with pursuits if you fall into the "BIG-UNS" category. I'm not being shallow ,this is nature at its best here. I prefer an attractive woman with a good to great figure.
That's my starting point,...then personality,wants,likes,dislikes and all that bla,bla,bla.,follows suit.I don't mean to be cynical,but after several months,and 3 first dates from an other site, I'm really growing weary of thinking I'm going to meet an attractive woman on a first date and what shows up AINT was was sold to me! So ladies, please be honest, and don't post photos that are more than a year old.
Thanks-

Date a man from Broomfield, United States. Hmmm...I'm an out-going, easy-going, fun person and I enjoy being around people that can laugh at themselves and at what life throws at them. I believe in looking at a situation and asking myself "will it matter 6 months from now?" before I decide how I'm going to handle it. I know I'm never to old to learn and enjoy the learning. I guess everyone on here uses the "my friends would say I'm ...." so I'll use it too..My friends would say I"m funny, sarcastic, loyal and dependable. I like the fact that my firends and family can count on me and I like friends I can rely on. I love being outdoors and I love sports. Anything to do with hiking, biking and having fun outside is good with me! I also enjoy a good book, quiet times and laying in bed on Sunday watching how to shows on TV.

Date men and women from Broomfield, United States. I work 80 hrs a week in my business-not complaining a bit either. I'm in an exciting
industry that's not your usual vocation. I am just looking for an easy woman to get along with,without drama and all of the usual baggage.

Meet single man from Broomfield, United States. I am an honest, laid back, optimistic, active, happy, funny, attractive, intelligent, employed, Harley Riding, social drinking, fun loving, camping, fishing, giving, dart throwing, pool playing, golfing, huggable, technology intelligent, commuicative, kissable, talkative, outgoing, emotionally available, relationship minded, independent, romantic, hand holding, wise, mechanically inclined, family oriented, McGyverish, chivalrous, loyal, happy, single father of 2 live at home and dangerously close to being grounded until they are in college teenage boys. (now that is a run on sentence!) I also have 2 beautiful older daughters who are out living on their own terms. I like to live life with some integrity, and strongly believe in Karma and the golden rule I learned when I was 5. Sometimes I’ve been known to follow Astrology, I don’t live by it, but I am curious as to how sometimes it nails my day. (Fortune cookies lie … those weren’t my lucky numbers).
I am not into riding mountain bikes every weekend, but I do enjoy riding mine once in a while, I am not into Yoga but I would love to learn about it. I like wine but, cannot tell you why it’s good, or how it should smell, or why people twirl it in their glass but I would like to know. I enjoy Art, but sometimes I do not get it. I love the museum, and the zoo, there is always something new to see and learn there. I love to read books, but do not have a ton of time to do so. I lke to work out, but have a hard time finding time and motivation to do so. When I watch TV, it is Discovery, History, Military, Science, NatGeo channels, or Broncos Football when I do. I will admit to watching Glee, American Idol, and The Voice. Good singers with good voices move me. I am not goal oriented because I think it’s a buzz phrase that’s been way over used in the American language. I have plans, dreams, fantasies and a bucket list instead.
I believe VERY strongly in compromise, Love, deep long passionate kisses, holding hands in public, foreplay, snuggling/spooning, romance, passion, optimism, laughter, and general over all happiness. Life is too short to sweat the petty stuff. So please do not predict doom around every corner if things aren’t exactly the way you want them. (I undersstand pecimism to a point, but I am a proud practicing optomist).
I am looking for a woman who is much like me, but with enough differences that we complement each other. I guess you could call it the Ying Yang theory. (shaped the same, but opposite enough we fit together nicely) I find beauty to be both on the inside and the outside. And I have seen women who exude one but not the other. I am looking for one that has both. Beautiful to me is the whole package, and my taste in external beauty is widely varied and I have no preconceived cookie cutter view of what she will look like. I am looking for someone who wants to become a part of something that is beyond their complete comprehension, something greater than just being an individual, a dare to be great situation that is so epic that it blows us both away and seals our hearts together forever. I want the white horse, man and woman riding away kissing at sunset experience. I just need someone with the same dream to do it with.
I am a fabulous, generous, loving, kind hearted sweet guy who will make someone a wonderful boyfriend/husband someday. That’s why I am here, hoping that someday will come.
If I emailed you or if I winked at you, it means I found your story and pictures to be enticing and I want to know more, not that I want to jump in the sack with you tonight. (winks happen sometimes when I am pressed for time or using my Android phone and fat finger the wink button instead of the email) If you email or wink back it’s not a commitment from you to go on a date, it is just the first step in getting to know me because I might be your prince charming. If I didn't answer your email, I apologize. It's nothing personal.
