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

Date a soulmate from Colorado, United States. ME: So, where to start, hmm. . .I'm excited about where I am today, emotionally, spiritually and physically. I've done a lot of work over the past year that has brought forth real growth in understanding better who I am and what I want. Today I'm committed to CREATING what I want in my life. It's a new season. I'm officially "open" to creating new friendships that perhaps someday will turn into something greater. If it does, great. But, my expectations are low that I will meet someone special online. On the other hand, it's worth a try!
Recently moved to Denver from Carbondale. I still have a home there for weekend mountain getaways. Love that town!
I'm a happy optimistic-type that sees the best in people. Often helping those in need. I do what I can. I love to connect with the people in my path and find out what makes their heart tick. I laugh often. I crack myself up. I can be a total dork, goofball and knucklehead. In fact, my current business card title reads: Chief Knucklehead (Serious!).
I'm a big fan of the outdoors. I'm very physically active. There are not many sports I haven't tried. Played division I college hockey many years ago now. Coached beginner kids and women's hockey last winter and had a ball! Today, I find great joy in cycling (road and mountain). Also, love to get my ass kicked in Crossfit as often as I can. Ever tried it?
Friends would describe me as generous, fun, and easy to hang out with. I love to meet new people and hear their unique story. I think I can learn something from anyone I meet.
Grateful for my life and the many deep and healthy relationships I have. Also grateful to my Creator for all the blessings in my life.
I'm a big traveler. Lived in NZ for a few months in a camper van. Have been to Africa 6 times and love the people of Africa. Costa Rica is a recent favorite. Learned how to surf there last year. Can't wait to get back!
I'm an entrepreneur. Builder, investor, board member in a few different ventures. Busy but also pretty flexible in how I determine my work week.
Working on a new African social business venture. This is what I'm most excited about these days. Helping people in need with jobs while also creating sustainable business models that won't need government or non-profit help!
If anything I've shared piques an interest, shoot me an email. If it doesn't, no harm either. . .I'm not attached!
YOU: Great sense of humor, optimistic about life and the future, athletic, lover of the outdoors, follower of Jesus, fit and fun!

Meet men and women from Colorado, United States. Hi there! I am originally from the midwest, but I have lived in many places foreign and domestic. Though my travels have taken me to many distant lands, I feel the Denver area is where I want to call home.
I enjoy doing a variety of things. I like staying active with outdoor activities like skiing, cycling, hiking, mountain biking, camping, scuba diving... I also enjoy concerts, museums, festivals, going to the gym, cooking, wine tasting, doing projects around the house, traveling... the list is long. I think anything can be a lot of fun with the right person.
When it comes to food, I enjoy a variety of ethnic foods. Greek, sushi, Italian, Indian, Syrian, Ethiopian... If I haven't tried it, I would probably enjoy it. Being from the midwest I probably ate my life quota of red meat before the age of 16. So, I try to avoid it and stay with fish or chicken if at all possible. But, I have to admit that I do love BBQ. Guilty pleasures in moderation.
I am musically inclined and studied at a school of music on the east coast prior to traveling as a professional musician for 3 years. Though I did this in the mid-80s, I still play for fun in my home studio. You never know... you might be reading the profile of a former rock star!!! But, you aren't. LOL
I had a wonderful opportunity to live overseas for a period of 4 years. I feel that traveling abroad opened my world to history, culture, languages, art, food... (see the paragraph about ethnic foods). All told, I lived in 5 foreign countries and have been to about 25 or more. I would like for my next foreign trip to be a dive trip around the Galapogos Islands on a live-aboard boat. I did this in the Bahamas about 10 years ago and loved it.
Professionally, I am a Computer Network Engineer. However, I am at a crossroads in my career and am considering a career change. (Hmmm... maybe I should pursue that rock star thing?) Whatever I decide, 2012 is my year for professional changes.
That's enough about me... let's talk about you: I am a firm believer of, "Those who play together, stay together”, and believe that chemistry is a must in a relationship. I think we all know when we are with someone and either feel it, or not. I like a woman who is open minded, willing to try new things and likes to expand her mind as well as her world. I prefer to be around positive people who are able to see the good, even in a bad situation. If your list resembles mine from the previous paragraph, then there's a pretty good chance that we might be a good fit.

Date people from Colorado, United States. I'm still not sure what life has in store for me, but if you'd like to come along for the adventure, an Email is a good place to start. I'm ready for an escape, are you? Breakfast with a newspaper is my one bad habit. But quiet dinners, then relaxing on the couch is a given. I'll even cook it for us, but trading foot massages, sitting across from each other and talking is a must. Of course getting out and doing something spontaneous is a requirement of any good relationship. I over plan my spontaneous nature. By that, I mean I often carry two raincoats in my truck (one for each of us), I always fill the tank, have maps for just about anywhere we could go, a AAA membership and I carry a clean change of clothes. I'd just like to relax and take it as it comes. Chivalry isn't dead, and I'm happy being the gentleman. I insist on holding the door. Do you like going to work after a weekend with a grin that keeps them all whispering? I'm just as likely to bring you flowers at work to keep the girls talking. I've been known to "steal" the car and replace the wiper blades, with a wash and wax and then have your oil changed. If you get off work and find my truck in your space, hurry home, dinner's waiting and there's a movie you always wanted to see for later. Although I don't consider myself an avid outdoorsman I love the mountains, which is why I spent 5 years with a Mountain Rescue Team. Later in life I worked for the Forest Service during 7 seasons as a Wildland Firefighter. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. My million dollar mansion would be a $50,000 log cabin at the far corner of $950,000 of property. A huge fireplace in the great room, a loft bedroom above with the view out the two story front windows. The dog and I would gladly share the space with the right woman. He's a huge fuzzy Akita that loves to go for walks. I'd still have him even if he wasn't a chick magnet...Fortunately he is

Meet someone special from Colorado, United States. How much does a polar bear weigh?
Enough to break the ice.
Now that you see how bad my pick-up lines are, you can understand why I am on match. Ha ha
I chose balancedfreak as my match name because I truly am a balanced person. Everything in moderation seems to work for me.
I admit I grew up a total sports freak and played just about any sport you can imagine including the big 3 competitively. My dad was a coach and I loved playing and competing. I believe I became the person I am today largely because of this background. I am loyal, driven, team oriented, outgoing and very active. I never want to let the rest of my team down so I will do whatever it takes to ensure I hold up my end of the bargain.
My dad was also a math teacher and my mom taught 3rd grade so I was also brought up with strict expectations academically. Even with my academic background, back about 15 years ago I think I could’ve been pigeon holed into the crazy sports guy category. However, as I’ve…gulp….matured, I have learned to enjoy so many more things such as theatre, foreign films, travel (not just to the beach anymore…although those are great trips too), etc.
The “balanced” description goes much farther than just sports and theater. While I am a morning person, I also like staying out late. While I like going out on the town, I also like chilling at home. While I am naturally very responsible and can be serious when needed, I am also somewhat of a goofball and find humor in just about anything.
Heck I’m even finding humor in how difficult it is to write this dang profile. I hope you’re enjoying it so far because now I have to explain the “freak” part of the balancedfreak name. I believe we are all unique and in some ways freaky. I am looking for somebody that can accept and eventually appreciate my quirks and will allow me to do the same with hers.
The feelings we have when there is mutual attraction between two people are unlike any other feelings you will ever have. They will incite you, invigorate you, and put you in a focused state of mind when time stands still, and when every sense is heightened and anything and everything is possible.
As we’ve all learned by now, these feelings are only part of what helps make a successful long term relationship. I’ve witnessed a great love story with my parents who have been married for 55 years and I've been through enough relationships to know that you have to give more than you hope to receive and that mutual respect and friendship are key. One thing that separates me from many others is my ability to listen and to be fully engaged with what you are saying (or not saying).
I am at a great place in my life and am looking for a woman that is as well. We all have some baggage but we need to own it and not let it get in the way of the future ahead of us. I am confident that my ability to communicate, my caring nature and romantic side combined with diverse interests and skill sets will allow me to be a great partner when I meet that special woman who has her act together and challenges me to be at my best.
I'm drawn to women who are happy, charismatic, confident and intelligent. My ideal woman goes out of her way to help others, is affectionate and appreciates that I enjoy being a gentleman (yes, I will open the door for you). I hope that she has found the balance that works for her, and that she sees life in a positive light. Her sense of humor should be evident and her passion for life contagious.
Physically I am typically attracted to women with athletic physiques and gorgeous smiles. If she can be at once playful and affectionate, yet honest and genuine, she might just be my idea of 'perfect for me'. The prospect of getting to know such a woman, learning all about her and what she wants from life, is exciting to me.

Date people from United States. The world is a big and amazing place -- something that every kid knows, but as adults we seem to forget. I still explore and find things on a daily basis that impress me or make me laugh. The arc of my life so far has not followed any script or plan that I've ever made, but I'm grateful for where I'm at and where I've been. In the end, I'm a very ordinary person that has had some extraordinary experiences. There are some definite ideas about how people should treat each other -- introducing yourself to friendly dogs/cats is mandatory as is playing along with small children. My heroes and role-models give a pretty fair idea of my outlook: Bill Murray, Robert Motherwell, John Harrison, Hobbes (not so much Calvin), my buddy George, and Winnie-the-Pooh (naturally).
A couple of random thoughts -- I'm a retired chef (studied to be a saucier, but got sucked into pastries) that now works in a pretty specialized corner of IT.

Date a man from United States. It would be all worth it if you're a woman who has her own style and down to earth personality, is uninhibited or at least wants to be. If you're ready to explore in friendship and more by first dropping all assumptions (don't underestimate ). I need a woman who likes passionate love, who is also seeking really good, deep unbridled sex :) .. I'm ready to be in an exlusive one-on-one, fullfilling relationship in this life where collective happiness matters most . I believe in giving my entire heart and soul effort to a woman. I want her to feel loved and precious in my eyes and in my arms. I know she has to feel like the universal woman otherwise it cannot be so very good. I'm intellectually and emotionally available for anything. If you can get over any age pre-conceptions to discover I can offer the intelligence, personality and good times (in every way) to go with it. I'm originally from New York City; family moved to Colorado (rural) when I was young, I learned about cowboy work ethics and values, then I spent years traveling around the
world as a U.S. Navy professional sailor (now a Senior Chief E-8, USN). I enjoy trail running, hiking, mt. biking. I recently purchased a home in Elizabeth, Colorado and I'm also learning to play electric guitar. After a very long, adventurous career
in the Navy it's time to put down roots :) .. If interested, I'm right here and up for friendship and more if it turns out that way :) ...
